The Chardonto?
anyone know a way to tame/knock out low level dinos without killing them? Sometimes i kill them with a narc arrow in one shot when i dont want to.
I need an urgent manager
I created a ticket to support, my character bugged in gen2 and now I don't have my tribe
If you created a ticket, all you can do it wait, they will get to it
I was raising gigas, they are all going to die đŠ
fat lost island crouch on Xbox smalls dm me oog
thanks so much, still learning , the otters are new tames for me
Can you change the character's name once it's on?
I don't think so
could someone confirm for me
Not usung in game methods, at any rate
because I have a neighbor who changes his name all the time, and I don't know if I should report it
so it will be hacker?
Do they run the server, and/or have admin access?
And are you sure they aren't just changing the tribe name?
It's easy to mix the two things up
if it can be then
Whats a good collector for wood and fiber on abberation?
also can tek dinos breed?
yes
The absolute best collector for fiber on ab is a sickle, but moschops are okay
Can someone hop in a call with me and explain how breeding works im so lost rn
im breeding the thylacoleo and i just have no idea how to get the melee maxed out ?
yes i have some
Have you watched videos on how to do it?
yes
Soul Gems?
Oh, that one makes it fairly easy
im not here for the imprinting
You can see the points per stat right?
i mean i want to make a breeding line and get mutations
like what percent it has into a certain thing right?
I mean, sort of
DSV2 allows you to cherry pick stats, yeah
Each stat has a certain number of stat points allocated to it. Basically it's the level of the Dino divided "randomly" into the different stats. Using the incubator and the soul gems you can actually see that number
With normal breeding chances you have about a 7% chance of getting a random mutation into any of the stats which adds 2 points to it
okay so the only way to level up the melee is to get a mutation
basically, the level you see on a dino is made of so called stat points.
all stat points combined and then +1 is the level.
you can mutate each stat, usually you will geta single mutation that increases that stat by two points. for example if you had 40 melee points, and then got a mutation, you will have 42 melee points.
mutations happen rarely and randomly into each of the stats, so oftentimes you will have sth like movement speed mutate, that you dont want. so you need to learn and understand the very basics of this concept first before you start worrying about capping out lines
For doing melee it's about a 1%chance to get just melee
okay
so one more question i have two maxed out dinos both with 1.3k melee is their a way to get that as the base melee for the baby?
Okay, first of 1.3k is not maxed out. I am assuming that you are adding player levels in. Those don't carry over to the baby dinos
yes i levled up the dino to max
if they dont carry over how to get the melee count higher
if you breed any two dinos, the offspring will inherit either of their stats, guaranteed. it has like 60% chance to get the higher stat, no matter if its from the mother or father.
and as raq said, only the stat points matter, if you level the dino up or imprint, those "higher" stats dont carry over. only what the dino has at birth basically will carry over to further generations
If you look at the soul balls for the leveled dinos, you should see numbers like 40/88 which would mean that the thyla has 40 base points and then 88 player leveled stats. The babies only inherit the 40
okay
Mutations increases the base stat, so a mutated 40 goes to a 42.
yes i see that
so i need to do that over and over again till i get it where i want it?
i think you still really dont understand how the level system works in ark, each stat will have a certain number, BEFORE distributing any levels gained through experience into it (leveling it up)
and only those "base" points will carry over to an offspring, and also only those base levels will be able to mutate
Yup
okay
sorry i just started playing ark and wanted touch the breeding lines to start maxing out my dinos
For most practical purposes on pve doing 10 melee mutations is generally sufficient provided you have a good enough tamed stat, with a 1% chance it basically means you have to sift through 1000 or more baby thylas.
okay
Maxing out a line means having 255ish points into a stat, and that takes a long time and a more complicated breeding procedure
It's typically not worth doing unless you are playing pvp
no its fine, but like you should try and understand the very base mechanics first before you try and play with them (mutating them) đ
like if you arent 100% certain of why a dino has a certain level, and how that level is determined, you will get confused alot when you try to mutate/breed dinos ^^
You could try putting breeding times and rates to crazy amounts so that you get lots of babies really fast just to try and figure out how it works
254, if you still want to level it up xD
(2^8 because binary system, and one bit for saving it, so 255 points wont allow a dino to level that specific stat any more, because it cannot be saved)
is their a certain video you would recommend that goes very indepth
Technically yes lol
thats what i did lol
syntac did one, but its like 1h long and imo overexplains everything but it could be helpful i guess
okay
Syntac has a simpleish breeding guide that is like 15 minutes long. There are better ones if you want more info, but that might be a bit much at the very start
oh he finally made a shorter version? i havent watched any ark videos in ages, but i remember seeing this 1h long one, and it kinda was just over the top (at least for me) ^^
so to sum it up the base levels that it starts with is the only thing that matters and when you get a mutation it will add 2 points to a random stat and for a flyer if it gets movement speed it was a waste. and I have to keep mutating till i get it to the # i want it to be?
Wait, is syntacs an hour long?
and when i get to 20 mutations on both sides i have to breed it with another dino that has no mutations to reset it correct?
Well, you only get 20 mutations to a line without doing more complicated techniques, so if you are doing melee, I would say ignore any other mutation
the one i saw was about 50-60 minutes long, overexplaining everything 2 or 3 times, not really focusing or emphasizing (on) the truly meaningful part
Yeah his ark for dummies mutation guide is 15 minutes long
You can't reset mutations. Once a Dino has a mutation counter it's there to stay for the rest of the line. That is why it is important to have females with no mutations
thats nice, without seeing it, it sounds way better than this giant 1h thing which, at least in my opinion, rather adds to the confusion by focusing on many things at once and keeping on talking about some special cases and stuff. didnt sound like a good beginner guide to me
okay so did most of what i said make since?
I mean, what you said isn't how it works. I would recommend watching the videos đ đ
The counter doesn't really work intuitively, and unless you are using advanced techniques it is really the most important thing to watch
besides the reset path.
you can exploit an overlooked mechanic to overcome/bypass the 20/20 mutation counter by having one parent being below that threshold.
but honestly you really need to properly and thorougly understand how breeding, levels, mutations, etc work. these things are a bit in depth and make no sense if you are just starting out
okay i might just watch that hour long one tonight
For example, if you have a male Dino with 1 melee mutation, and it has a female baby. That female could end up not getting the stat, but it'll still have the counter saying it does. Breed that female to the male and you can end up with a baby that says it has 2 mutations, even if it doesn't have any actual stat difference
so if it doesnt have a stat differnce dont keep it?
I would recommend starting with the syntac one and not trying to overload the 20/20
Basically
ok
You have to sift through hundreds of dinos to keep the lines clean, and if you don't keep them clean you have to really know what you are doing
is their a mod for breeding so i dont have to put it in my ball and place it again?
Can you elaborate?
does the Carcharodonto do a tail spin attack even if you are not riding it?
Whatâs considered good melee for a wild carch?
can anyone confirm if saving a level allows you to mindwipe instantly after mindwiping on official?
How do you knockout a dodicorous
Am I able to zoom out once I'm in third person on Xbox? Also am I able to rotate my camera once I'm in third person without moving?
Not sure about the rotating part but I believe the camera is fixed so you are not able to zoom out
you can do a rotating one with the enable halo camera or whatever itâs called
Ah
Does anyone here know what drops the best mek bp?
Extinction OSD
You sure? I think the king titan drops bp for meks
Wait imma check rq
I'm not sure about king titan, I did my 5th fights never seen a mek BP maybe its rare. But I do often get mek BP from OSD.
I want a really good one, ill kill gamma king titan like 10 times and ill tell u what i get
can drakes when bred get mutations?
Yes
Is there an admin command that can change a dinosaurâs gender
i dont think so
There is a mod
What is it called
i think ss / S+ mod
S+
ss has the same thing i think
I think it is the mutator that does it
mutator
You need to put the setting on in the ini
Oh damn I need the Cloning Chamber bp for it ;-;
Yeah, that's the alpha dragon isn't it?
oh i like ss of more stuff to make
Yeah ;-;
What Dinoâs should I use for Alpha Dragon I normally use Rexâs but Iâve also seen people use Theriâs
is 270 melee dmg on a ice wyvern good?
Theris are significantly better for the dragon because they can have cakes
I don't think so
its a baby wyvern atm
LOL, I just got a pink Ovis what should I name it (itâs a female btw)
On second thought, 270 is 34 points which is slightly above average
511% on a lightling wyvern baby but its lvl 340 as a baby
Carnation maybe? Itâs a pink flower
That is a fairly mutated stat I would say, and it's pretty good
Food production lol
what was mutated?

Meat factory
Anyone wanna play
@slow geode what does the error say?

@slow geode you were supposed to post it in bobs-with-probs
Silly me... đ€Šđ
bruh i managed to lose my entire carcha & giga army along with my favorite shaadowmaneđ„Č idk where i put the cryopods sob
My argy isnt letting me ride it, ive taken off and put on its saddle, logged, taken off then logged, but mothing works. Pls help
Are u able to get on it?
huh, maybe make it follow u and move it somewhere
may have to get a new one
Maybe its in an area that u cant ride fliers in
Like a cave or smth. U on single player?
Ah, never played fjordur. Check settings in advanced and general, there is one called âForce allow Fliers in cavesâ maybe check it
K
I dont know anything abt fjordur tho unfortunately
Gl
Nice, guess that area is considered a cave lol
Not the placed structures, but the "blueprints" that appear in the default crafting menu. Basically like disabling all vanilla pieces from being built and only leaving S+ available to select.
you can't ride normal flyer in fjordur realm, only desmodus can fly in fjordur realm.
I've seen that done before (vanilla engrams don't appear anywhere, but can be converted from s+ using the converter), but I didn't ask the admin how he accomplished it.
It was the only way they could restrict flying
can i say im a worst parent for this game
if i put mutagen on my giga can it still mate?
i think so
Of course
Yes but if itâs a bred giga the extra stats from the mutagen wonât pass down
whatâs a good location for a base solo on the island? rn im on herbivore island but i hate how itâs by the green obelisk (swamp city) and itâs hard to transport tames across the sea like rexes and whatever else i expand out to in the future.
are you level 51
yes
make cryopods
i think im past that now that i think abt it
I like to base on that high cliff just west of the redwood
Hi
Iâve only ever used them for the Rag boss
Iâve seen people do Valguero boss with them though
can't you only do charge if you are riding them?
Yeah
then you can't use yuty
Yeah
Used to hella use rhinos
Also what are those new flying squirrels like?
That you ride and you can do dive bombs
what are the flying squirrels?
Theyâre newish and theyâre like a mana I think with their jumping
shadowmane?
Itâs weak in combat
Pretty fast though
Itâs crossed over with a Platypus and flying squirrel so đ€·ââïž
As clark said, it makes raising babies easy.
Iâve never used them personally
Then Iâd guess not that good lol
No one so donât ask
So ig the main Dinoâs are, Wyvern, Giga, Bloodstalker, Maewing, turtle, golem, Velo, Carchar, Owl, PT, Rhino, Argy, Yuty, Rex, Reaper, Mana, Parasaur, Quetzel,
Nah
Nobody really uses quetzals/argy unless you donât have access to Stryders
Yeah I only play PvP so yea lol
Desmodus are good for PvP
You ever use the Carchar yet?
desmodus is the most useful dino i have
You can tame them now?
Desmodus is one of those easy to tame high value creatures
Youâve been able to yeah
I canât wait to get em lol(just getting back into the game only cause the Carchar and some other new dinos and cause just miss the game lol)
They provide you with an elixir that costs 200 blood packs that will either imprint a creature 30% or give 30% taming effectiveness
I got a violet color mutation two days ago. Just waiting on it to fully mature
Nice, youâre playing on official?
Indeed! I play Official PvE at the moment as I donât have the time for PvP
Coool
Hopefully I find some good servers
Cause console Ark died because of Rust releasing
Well PlayStation has the best PvP by far in terms of cheating is probably the lowest thanks to Sony not allowing cross platform
Iâd think they could do console crossplay but yeah
Itâs a Sony thing. Microsoft doesnât have an anticheat for Windows 10 ARK and itâs a nightmare
Only thing you have to worry about is xims which ainât that big of a deal lol
Rip đȘŠ
Also you have any pics lol
đ„¶
Theyâre beasts too man
Looks amazing
The health regeneration they get is insane
I bet, those abilities are nice asf Iâve seen
Honestly itâs a very enjoyable tame. It eats a bit more than a baby giga while raising, but with maewings raising is trivial
The Maewing imprint for you?
It does not. But itâs a baby feeding trough
Ah ok
are 70,000 health rexes good for Lost Island boss?
70k health rexes are good for everything lol
Yeah ^^ should be fine lol
I love them
They deal a hell of dmg after killing stuff. Itâs truely a Giga killer with its buffs/ debuffs
will mutated allos and yutyrannus be enough for Alpha Dragon...?
20 melee mutations, and with levelling up, each allo goes up to 1.5k - 2k melee
saddle is 152% armor
Maaaaayyyyyybeee
health is.... 23k each (I forgot to change and balance the settings on the hp per level up on my single player thats why the hp got absurd)
Dragons gotta die quick with carnos or youâre getting wiped.
if per say, allos arent good, then what would you recommend...?
That might be enough but I donât ever use Allos for the bosses so I canât guarantee. Alpha dragons fire does 20% hp per cast and hits everything in front of it.
Iâve beat alpha dragon with 19 Theri and 1 yuty. Theri had 21k hp and like 6-700 melee. Stack of cakes each. 114 saddles. Lost a few but still won.
But Iâd take a swing with the Allos, thatâs good stats and it really may be enough
geez, so the alpha dragon is that strong o-o
Just gotta control them well enough
are cakes working properly? I haven't checked in a while, but for some time they were only healing for 500 and nothing more.
That strong? These werenât even mutated Theri. They had base stats in the mid 30s
I- I'm a noob at boss fights, by control do you mean whistling them away from the dragon, then whistling them back?
oh o.o
Just got Ark downloaded and oml the Maewing is dope asf and the Carc is awesome
Kind of. You just wanna make sure the majority stay behind him. So only a few take the breath and rotate them out so that none of them take more than 3. Most of the dragons damage comes from his fire. If you control your tames well enough dragon isnât that hard to beat.
With Theri you can just whistle attack because they heal with the cakes.
Much easier strat
damn it- should have bred theris to begin with rather than devote time to mutating allos :v
Iâd honestly try with the Allos before writing them off
Those are some badass Allos with good saddles
Plus youâve got a line set up so theyâre replaceable
Take 19 Allos and ride the yuty and just fuckin send it man
Iâd love to hear the story
right, fine. Might try it lmao, but I still lack some artifacts and other mats for tribute so odds are I cant do it right away atm XD
should I also try to get a better armor saddle for allos? I'm using the upgrade station mod
and actually alot of other mods too lol
o.o damn-
How about flak? Is 900%~ flak pieces good? I know these arent saddles but its a big number so I'm curious if its actually as good as it looks at first glance at the numbers
Yeah thatâs also incredible
How does the fire mechanic actually work? Like I know after wyvers or the dragons breathes fire, it lights tames and survivors on fire, but how much damage per second does it deal? Does it ignore armor?
No, it does not ignore armor. The tic amount depends on what weapon or the melee damage of a creature
Fire ignores armor
Itâs 20% Hp flat on alpha
Doesnât matter how good your saddle is
But dragon fire does ignore armor (I think all fire damage actually, thatâs why itâs so great ) and for the dragon fight itâs always a flat 20% of your creatures HP
Saddle doesnât help here much only for bites
Lol slow fingers, now you have the basically exact same answer twice xD
Actual dps is irrelevant. Whether you have 100 health or 100k health itâs gonna drop 20% of that over the duration.
Is the decreased damage from courage roar of a yuty also ignored?
When I did fenrir I actually leveled some Rexes specifically for dragon (Iâm usually too lazy to make cakes lol -for therizi-) so I have a separate batch if i need to do it again.
They only got like 40k HP (thatâs less around 10 levels spend) and the rest is only melee. Like 3500-4000 or more.
They are good for other bosses too at this crazy dmg but for dragon itâs defo needed
I guess that's also why deinonychus are so good for the dragon. They don't have a ton of HP, but their bleed just shreds him
Should be, whenever I did dragon I used Yuti too, but since I used Rexes i could tell that it didnât seem to count.
I didnât properly calculate it, but from a quick look at their HP and the overall amounts of breaths it seemed to have fully hit them
I donât know. But itâs gonna be maintained regardless because the fire is the main source of damage not the sole source.
Ohhh so thats why the videos on youtube bring deinos lol I thought it was because they're small so its harder for the bite and breath attack to hit
Deinos can also cheese the dragon by grappling his left leg. It causes him to not be able to hit them or their riders and keeps him from flying off. Then the bleed does like 1% per second at max stacks.
The dragon also goes after the largest dino, so deinos don't get attacked much if you have a yuti. The deinos might even block the dragon, so he'll just keep walking towards the yuti without being able to get to him
Might try doing muts on deinos then, if allos fail o.o
Is Valguero the only map that has Deinos?
Dododex says that they're also on Fjordur
Fjordur has them also
Fjordur also has fenrirs right?
yes, fjordur has almost everything
rocks drakes and the four common wyverns
Wow- o_o
and gachas
How about the giga and carchar spawn areas? Is it easy to find gigas and carchars in Fjordur just like in The Center map?
I'm finding them pretty easily. There are three areas which they spawn.
Just did the Gen2 Boss and after i respawned i was missing quite a few Items, is this normal, am i missing something or is it a bug?
(missing items include Armour, Tek canteen, all food, healing potions, like half my ammo)
IS there anyone that plays ark on ps4 that wants to be in my tribe im lvl 75
hi, where can you report a bug ?
there is one with tuso on the island that is quite problematic, i didn't test on other maps tho
So I uploaded my character and downloaded it from gen 2 to gen 1! I had 3 ocean platforms with me and downloaded them and I was to heavy đ and so I did go in God mode! And I did fly to my base spot! And I got out of god mode! So now I had every engram unlocked to I leaved my game and got back and the tek engrams where gone but my normal engram not so I had every normal unlocked! How can I get rid of them?
do u need exo mek engram to use it?
Do a relog and jt should be fixed
Yes
damnit
Best map for charcs is lost island correct? Or am I mistaken
That's normal. always put your shit in a dino when you ascend
aight, thanks
@earnest nebula whatâs a relog?
What is the best setting for baby food consumption speed?
Going to buy a lottery ticket. Very first gacha I tamed on this playthrough and it's an element dust gacha.
Quick question. I know you can see the notes/dossiers you've picked up on the map by going to the menu and clicking the explorer notes icon. However, are you able to see which HLN-A glitches you've picked up in caves or around the island in those terminals?
ok, so this turkey event... all i have seen at all is 2 super turkey and geez they much be really powerful as they took down my lv 213 stego - tried shooting them with a long neck and cant seem to kill them..
Is this all the turkey event is, killing the super turkeys, beyond the new color dinos?
with enough bones you can spawn the dodorex, but it-s limited time, like 45 minutes_ don-t remember
Hey, can someone tell me what "Network Failure Message, Outgoing reliable buffer overflow" means?
There is one inconsistency that USE still did not fix
The Mana dossier explicitly states that Ice Wyverns should appear in ScE, yet they do notâŠ
Although it mentions that the Ice Wyvern lives in the desert, when it spawns in Murdersnow. This might either be a shortsightedness from the dossier, or the fact that Ice Wyvern often flies across the Desert near Murdersnow. Perhaps the Murdersnow can be considered a "snowy" desert, if that is what the dossier is referring to.
From ark wiki
are anyguys pvp on 1x servers?
S+ Multi-Tool is not opening radial menu for me, anyone else have that problem?
What happens when you hold down R
bronto vs alpha fenrir
Do you have something binded to R because that may have something to do with it
Nothing
Sigh, I mean itâs default
Okay I reloaded the map and got it to work once
But now it wonât come up again
idk if i should fight a alpha fenrir
yes
i got a bronto to use
Brontos cant enter arenas
with a mod they can
restart the game maybe
Ahh yes, another supremely irritating design decision on the part of Wildcard
i gotta love mods that allow me to bring brontos / gigas into boss fights
@shut dawn hallo?
will a server restart refresh cave artifacts? currently they either aren't spawning or are in a wall.
Anyone know a good gpu for ark??
do magmasaurs eat meat or something other than sulfur when they hit juvie?
they eat ambergris dont they
yea but do they eat something other than sulfur and ambergris when they hit juvie

idk if this is the right channel, but where can i get help for server crash codes? I cant read em so i dont know what the issue is I just need some help
can you get wyvern milk multiple times out of one dragon?
I need to rehome myself, anyone got any good big flat plot ideas? Itâs a single player so I can just build an absolute monstrosity.
How do I use ankys hit move when picked up by a arge?
You float over the rocks, with it, might take a few times to get the feeling
Yeah like a drive over, itâll swing the tail over metal, not stone
Are there any variants of the carcha?
Oh thank you
no
If i go to transfer my character to gen1 or gen2, is there anything i cannot take? I have never been there.. i was gonna take a flyer and a land mount
can't ride flyers on gen1. nothing else that I can remember 
thank you. should i even bother with gen 1 or should i just go straight to gen2? im so noob about the gen stuff since i just purchased the season pass
there are some things that are only on gen1, but if you are going for genesis exclusives I think all but magmas are on gen2 but they are on some free maps
Depends on your budget
No, their diet is the same till adult
They are around the same performance but the 6700xt is cheaper and has better raw performance but the 3060 ti has more features in it and better Ray tracing performance
U can, if u knock it out with 1h intervals between each time
Iâll send you a link to a pc guide someone made
Can anyone inform me why all the missions [START MISSION] buttons are not clickable??? im in gen one
i just entered gen one and pretty lost lol
not sure
@mossy oak #735196255483068497
is 5k chibis enough for 1 person?
gonna find myself fresh Turkey
how does one transfer your character out of genesis and back to another server? im over this genesis dumbness already
a mission terminal i think
i hold E on the weird floating thing andall it has is start mission for gamma, beta, and alpha, nothing about trasnfering server

Guys, I just did 2 rounds of survive the ark and I exited it for all players and then I was teleporting back when my game crashed, I joined back and I had to respawn⊠I died and lost all my gear including the rewards
I just lost all my good gear I was carrying as well
Iâm not sure if my loot is somewhere else and Iâm seriously pissed off at the current moment. Is there anything I can do?
Damn that must suck
So I spent 2 hours for nothingâŠ
I mean either you can try to take revenge against people or try to find out the problem and keep it from not happening again
Iâm in single player
Oh
Iâm not gonna play ark for a few days because im just pissed off right now
Thank you for helping
You can try to find out the problem on why it crashes
I had a similar problem to that
Where I got really lucky with a level 150 argentavis already unconscious and I tamed it but then my game crashed and my save file was corrupted
So I was mad but I tried to find the problem
There are some reasons to the issue
Like the system canât taking much more of the program and then crashing to prevent further issues
Or something else
You can set the launch option, verify the integrity of files, re install or install new GPU drivers, or reinstall ark
If you want to re instal ark but your data is going to be gone. I found a way to preserve your data
Anything I try to stop it from crashing will not work
Thereâs nothing I can do to stop it
I am currently outside my house doing something but it was like you would find the ark file location and transport the save file to a different location
What were all the things you did
Why can't i cheat summon charcha on singleplayer (PC)?
All you mentioned above
I typed everything correctly
Ohhhhhhhh
And my game is up to date.
do u want the command for it?
Yes please.
Iâm just gonna have to deal with it unfortunately
let me look it up but dm me for the command
Thanks for trying to help

they should run away
ok
Oh sorry I didnât see the PlayStation icon
Hi all, how do I enable the turkeytrial event?
can element on gen two be turned into element dust to transfer to another server?
yes but it take awhile on mission termanals to turn into dust
is there a way to disable the loading in animation
it takes like 5 seconds and is aids
Not on SP.
sp?
Singleplayer
is their a faster way to get base pairs for breeding cause ive been doing it for like 3 hours with the rates turned up and i still havent gotten one?
What is the best thing to feed gachas
its just RNG, egg incubator helps as you don't need to hatch the eggs. doing steps also helps if you still haven't gotten it.
depends on what you mean by best.
seeds, stone, metal. (stone/seeds with owl pellets) are what people usually use.
Best as in fastest production
I believe the 3 I listed above are all max speed
could be wrong as I've never done the tests.
seeds are by far the easiest to get a ton of. stone and snowl pellets should be the max speed
as in slowly work my way to getting a base like one level at a time?
doing only some stats at a time. so if you had 4 stats to perfect. getting a breeding pair that both had 2 of them would make it partially done.
okay i see what u mean
i got a perfect one but it was mutated
and i wanted to shoot myself
I've had that happen before
Hi, am I able to transfer my character/items to different server clusters?
no, only within the same cluster
alright thanks
It stays like that on officials. You cannot change it.
how do i host a server for my friends? when I try to make one my friend says it dosent appear on the list
Ark is dead
Thereâs only 2 server with 10+ pop on PlayStation
Sadly itâs a 25x and 1000x and I donât feel like playing official
cause unnoficial on playstation sucks lmao
where can i find poision wyvern at on fjordour
ong where?
idk the flowery tp spot
balheimer is fire wyverns
Balheimr is on the main map. It's whatever the real is that isn't asgard or jotenheim
I think it is valaheim?
There is only one đ
You can't reach it from the main map, so you have to tp to it
oh sry i must have mixed um up i only went to valaheim once on acident
But im so happy i finally got 1 base pair and their were twin Males
i got lvl 40 poison wyvern egg đŠ
nice
i tried to use my oviraptor to steal it in the fire wyvern trench and needless to say it wasnt slick with it and got us killed lol
whats the best server host?
Lost my 1st riding Dino to a spino đ
Well we both died lol
Got me a turtle that thing took a long time to tame
fire wyverns r low key easy to get
sthu i tried using a oviraptor and it didnt work
i used a dodo and got aegg
Are you playing on the map called the crater? I have it on my game but I haven't tried it yet still exploring the island
What is more valuable?
- 1000 level 100 dodos (500 males and 500 females)
- 5 level 10000 Tek Gigas
- A level 250 Godzilla (From the mod)
Iâve been trying to do ark by myself but I just canât find any fun in doing it myself. Is it a good idea just to find someone on this server to start with?
It could be
everytime i move my mouse, my ark spikes
it worked fine on the island, but on fjordur it isnt
is fjordur a much more laggy map/requires better pc?
even in settings
Ark should just should not have anymore updates
Itâs dead on console so why work on it
They arent planning on any more outside of neccesary patches and maintinence
So the Carchar was the last dino update
Yes
I look for official sessions and it says canât find any lol
Can exo move dedis?
How many tames do I need for a 150 noglin?
can anyone tell me how to get element
@silent matrix on what map?
fjudor
there is a cave that has crystals that contain element,
where
on most servers this is blocked off, so you can do boss fights or tame gachas
look it up on youtube, i dont know the exact cords
is there any other way
how i tame gacha
you throw rocks at their feet
what kind of rocks
and they will eat them, make sure they always have rocks to eat or the taming will go down
just normal rocks, you can find them if you teleport to asgard sw
what?
thank tiny
They will take stone like Tiny said, but prefer a bunch of other things over it. Check Dododex for their preferred foods.
i did with stone and got one so im good
Looking for a tribe in a wiped server
How do I get the event chibis
Use a cooking pot. You need to place a new one, but you use the wishbones from the super turkeys to craft them
Does the command that force changes the difficulty in single player have to be used every time or once I use it is it permanent
anyone selling black pearls?
anyone know which biome/realm is best for brontos on fjordur
Midgard probably
ok thx
Asgard has them as well tho
ok thx
I believe r brontos are in Asgard and regular on mid
i need to clear out a large area of wood, bushes, stones, etc, and i have alot of stone/metal harvesters but almost no wood ones, which is why i need a bronto.
thx
Mammoth or chainsaw might be a better choice for wood gathering
chainsaw is best. use either a mammoth, rollrat, or stryder connected to a dedi to move the wood
im not really needing wood, i just need something with a very large AOE harvest
I don't hear of too many people going after brontos for gathering
because its really bad for efficiency. it just has a large AOE
Yeah
that is the main reason im getting one
Hey guys whatâs clone dropping?
is that a Zen kĆan
Does the Astro Starfighter ability increase damage with Astro melee
saddle lasers don't use astro melee.

there is the killing dinos boost but otherwise yes.
Lookin for someone that has an extra carch dm me Iâm on Xbox

How do you change the gamma with a button instead of typing into the console thingy???
There's a keybind in settings
Yeah, thanks!
Can someone tell me everything abt the turkey.
stronk
G to unsnap and Q to change snap (not all structures are affected)
anyone know good ark server hosting websites?
i only need like a server for 10 people
I believe gportal and nitrado are the more popular options
ye
whats the prices?
Not sure, best to check. And look around for deals/discount codes
E.g. Nekatus (creator of Fjordur) has a discount link in one of his announcement posts
Pretty sure normally theyâre both $15 per month for 10 slot but for Black Friday gportal is 50% off and nitrado is 30% off
Keep in mind that these are single server rates, price goes up if you add more maps to create a cluster
@silent matrix what did u want to know?
Stats, what do you get if you kill them, stuff like that
@silent matrix they are super hard to kill unless you have a decent Giga, they give wishbones which u can use in a new cooking pot to make holiday themed items.
Also chibis but idk if you need the dlc for that
@silent matrix u need 400 wishbones and a new cooking pot
Oh. Looks like I wonât be able to kill the turkey whatsoever
I just got back into the game
With a friend so we are beginning to get stuff
Tyvm tho
@silent matrix you are welcome
Is blood wyvern place central or east?
There are plenty for me
I see plenty of nests, most of them have eggs
but sometimes the nests glitch and you can only see the eggs and if there's no eggs, you don't see the nest at all
do the eggs spawn together when deinos spawn?
they spawn kinda far apart
where do Carchs spawn? same as gigs?
Does anyone know why it can't find servers for me?
if your not connected to the wifi
Bonjour est ce qu'il y a des français ?
yeah, if you want somewhat quick spawns then go to the center map
What map is the Carchar on
whats the highest level deino egg I can get in medium difficulty?
I think everything? so as long as it has giga spawns
Ah okay then itâs just this server Iâm in
center is good for fast spawns? is that for clearing spawns
because i know i can drown gigs on rag
ragnarok is pretty good too I think
but I've only tried the center for farming carcharos
this is my first gig/carc so i cannot clear them as of right now
ill check out center, since most people go to rag and ext
I recommend taming 2-3 trikes, put them in cryo pods, and once you trap a carchar, kill the trikes and feed it
so much better than killing the surrounding dinos
got a baby rex here lol
you can drag rex bodies?
you need to be holding the dino though
still gets the carc to eat it
Nah you can drag it then move away
so even if you grab a hold of the body then let go it's good
should tame real easy
yeah but you gotta drag it first before releasing it lol
there is the option to drag rex bodies
you CAN "drag" them, and it counts as dragging
even though you are unable to move them
mmm ok then lol
if you are doubtful, just drag a baby wyvern lol
drag weights increase as the dinosaur grow
it's why a baby megalo can be picked up by an adult megalo
I use fully grown trikes o .o
can u take shadowmanes to aberattion
ye
is the highest level for deino eggs only 150?
Is there a 2x2 door ?
Because i need something fir my argentavises to fly through but it should not be that high
Not in the base game. There might be a mod that has one.
Yes
The realms outside of Midgard are technically caves, so unless you have cave fliers enabled then no you canât. Only dino that you can fly with on other realms is the Desmodus
@urban marten #735196255483068497
Breeding question: When I combine the stats of my tamed dinos, I should discard any offspring with mutations, right?
personally, yes you should, if your still at the process of creating a perfect pair
That was my thinking. Thank you for confirming it. A mutation snuck in when I wasen't looking while I was combining
Do all mods (or some mods) need to be updated in order to work in new versions of ark?
Anyway I can tell if it's a ele gacha before taming?
Can't tell what it makes till u tame it
Is there a way to increase chance for better loot from its crystals?
Crafting skill on gacha maybe
Spawned in Dino's can be tamed somewhat
without the force tame command tho?
for come reason force tamed dont have the following hud showing when you hit t
Yes like normal Dino's
it says not tamable :c
What dino r u spawning
r-snow owl
It should be tameable
admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Dinos/Summoner/SummonedDinos/Owl_Character_BP_Eden_Summoned.Owl_Character_BP_Eden_Summoned'" 500 0 0 135
I always tame mine when spawning one without force taming
The game probably doesn't like you
omg
i think i see my issue lol i cant post images here ill just dm you to explain real quick with 1 image
@heavy cedar add me plz
Hmm
What's a gentle way to lower taming effectiveness? Let's say that I knocked out a wild dino with 0 points in oxygen and I don't want it to gain more levels when I tame it. Punching it works, but I was wondering if there's a better way.
The one I'm taming right now I could only get down to 26.5% effectiveness and if I punch it again, it'll die
bring snow owl and keep punching and heal
also use the lowest taming effectiness food
For the bones that are around the map whats should i be mining it with for the keratin
i use mining drill or anky if you dont one
dope thank you
What do you get from killing super turkeys?
Bones
For a snow owl I should just do health and Stam?
Well they not met for fighting
Yeah Ik I'm just making sure that's how I should level it
Want me look when I get on?
can someone teach me the basics? i got the game a few days ago
Gfi drakesaddle_tek 1 100 0
can someone teach me how to play i just got the game
@modern prawn same
nice
want to try to figure it out toghether?
i swear, this game drives me to drinking o.O lol
ok but idk if we can do cross play
i dont have steam
its ok
can u call tho?

Does arc data transfer through platforms if you sign in using the same account?
idk'

someone selling stego for hexo?
what
On Xbox yes
Is it better to heal wyverns with a owl or give them milk
wtb valgo boss fight
give them milk easier, you don't need heal every minutes.
Guys do damage increase rifles increase torpor?
Yeah
gives me normal one
Even with the _tek at the end ?
Should I level food on my Daeodon?
i have a question abt my mating. why are some mating while the others arent? Are they to far or something?
Are the ldl smalltribes xbox servers xbox only or can win10 play too
am i not able to post imugur links?
Does they all ready to mate?
yes
So you know how you can track the dinos you're taming, right? Do you also know that if you get disconnected after they tame, when you reconnect, you can't track them anymore
anyone have a astrodelphis for sale I'm willing to give 200 black pearls
As long as you're connected, it also tracks them after you've tamed them
It suppose just to help you find the creatures you try to tame

Still annoying they dont auto gone after some times after being tame
Have to untrack by yourself
i got them to tame i just ad to move them to the other side sadly
i can only have 4 mating instead of 10
Wait how many male you have and what creatures is that
I have 1 male and they are thylacoleo
can i dm u it cause i cant post pictures here
anyone else having issues with the carchadonto?
i trapped one but it doesnt do anything but turn around
doesnt attack the stone gate
doesnt attack me
doesnt sniff or attack dead bodies i bring near
You can try post it in #fanart-and-screenshots but sure ok

Is there a way to tame an argy without a trap?

Best to let it roam free when dragging bodies to it
ok ill give it a try
but its so fast and draging a body is so damn slow?...
also it loses the befriending progress so fast like how do you manage to get all those dinos to it in that short time while its roaming?
Drag dinos with high drag weight
1 rex body is enough to max it at once
U can also use 2 baby wyverns bodies
wait a second i can drag a rex?
If your weight is higher than the drag weight of rex
does anyone know how big the radius is for the 10500 structure limit
Wiki says diplodocus drag weight is 575
i have 580 free weight
still dont even get the option to drag it?
Are u carrying anything else with u?
a bit
im at 9.5/590 weight
hold down e and click drag
doesn't show the option...
idk then
u play modded?
Yea
alr dm
@silent matrix it want Let me accept dms
@copper copper #735196255483068497 for lfg.
oh ok ty
Iâm back to playing gen 2 but now thereâs a stuck managarmr stuck in the freaking corner and itâs invincible
Of survive the ark
I tried using commands to kill it since it wonât die but nothing is working
do the random dino wipe reset command
do u got admin commands enabled?
Yes Iâm on single player but only cause it wonât die
ok so u go into that admin ting and type in cheat destroywilddinos
I am unable to pick up the teleporter for some reason. I have the option but it doesn't work
good to hear
Thank you both so much!
is anyone here really good at stat breeding?
Sure. What do you want to know?
im pretty sure i set everything up right but want to make sure
i have my base pairs i got one health mutation so i swaped out my Male base for that Male mutated
does anyone know how big the radius is for the 10500 structure limit
is that what your supposed to do because if so the rng gods are not want me to keep getting mutations
Yes, that's how you do it. For the second health mutation, you need the stat from the male to carry over and get a new health mutation.
what do u mean by the stat to carry over
Let's say that your unmutated male and female have 40 points in health. Then when you get a mutation, the male will have 42 points in health.
You still breed with the unmutated female, so when you get a baby, it might get the health stat from the mother or the father. You want the 42 from the father. And then you might get a second health mutation, so you get to 44 points.
oh yeah
i knew that sorry i must have read it wrong or just not understood how you said it
so the mutated dad is lvl 142 so im looking for a lvl 144 with a higher health that the dad correct?
That's fine đ English isn't my first language, so it might have been unclear what I meant
Yes, that's right
so now its just rng
Yes. And a lot of babies. If you're serious about it, you want a lot of females, so you can get a lot of tries at the same time
Has anyone here used the Ark Additions: Domination Rex mod?
rn i have 6 mating
The odds of a baby having the father's stat and a mutation in the correct stat are pretty low. Depending on the rates on the server you play on, you might want to breed some more unmutated females.
im playing single player rn with rates boosted all the way but i just dont know how to get them to breed more cause after a certain range they stop
decrease mating interval
i did rates boosted
you raised it or lowered it?
Yeah, the range can be a challenge. I hear shadowmanes have a really low range. But maybe have multiple groups of females and then move the male from group to group and mate with them
let me check
its all the way down
if you meant proximity to each other then thats a separate issue entirely
i have everything as fast as it can go
go to #fanart-and-screenshots its the latest one i think
its the thylacleos
What's the best method to tame a noglin?
If you don't have it already, get the egg incubator. It can give you a buff that lets you see the stats of the babies right after mating and discard them, if they don't have the right stats.
thylacleos are mammals and lay the babys directly
Yes. But the egg incubator will let you see the stats while they're gestating. Although if you have your rates maxed out, they might not be pregnant for long.
I'm also breeding thylas, but on official. So it's a much slower process than what you're doing đ
i feel bad for ya
i finnaly got one but for oxygen
how are you breeding them with a huge breeding pit or how im doing it?
its normal game crash and lose all
?Âż? what kind of game is this?
why let a,live steam this game
i ll reprot it but no refund
Does anyone know how to fix black screen when loading ark?
Friend has reinstalled it over and over, and still gets black screened
its easy just unistall this game its bugggg
When is transferring enables on ark switch official servers?
help someone pls
when i try to build, even though its green, i swing my weapon and the item does not place.
i already tried ?pveallowbuildatsupplydrops=true, but it still doesnt work
yo how do i fix mismatch cuz i have deleted and reinstalled all of my downloads and its still mismatch??????
then the server is out of date
it says their using the latest
'it'?
yes when i join it says they are using the latest bla bla bla
it says make sure they are using the latest.
well he left and joined it again 1-2 hours ago
then they may both be out of date.
There are two mods folders you need to delete. Find it in pins in #bobs-with-probs , and follow that on the server as well
Gigas are so weird. 17 points in stam gives 403.4 stam instead of 400.0 at 0 points
they have minimal stat increase for everything but melee so don't bother levelling anything else
Right now I'm just combining stats and colors. I haven't started on mutations yet.
Wait did scorched earth ascension come out yet??
help someone pls
when i try to build, even though its green, i swing my weapon and the item does not place.

Guys can you please help me with mismatch my friend can join the server but i cant. I have deleted and downloaded them multiple times but it wont work
Yo guys, im about to tame my first shadowmane and Iâm wondering if I could use the tek suit and not the other suit if I eat cactus broth
Could I sneak up on the shadowmane if I eat the cactus broth
@silent matrix #735196255483068497
well idk it if it works on a cat / fish dino
it may work with ghili suit
Technically yes, but it is like 200x worse
ive been having issues with a crash for the past few days. ive recently built myself a new pc, and ark is busy crashing after around 10 minutes in. I have re installed graphics drivers, verified files about 7 times, removed mods, restarted pc a 100 times and its not doing anything. I get the same error, does anyone know how to fix this error? the error message says something with a /lostisland/ issue. idk what the problem is tho cause i dont have lost island installed.
can you grab people with desmos or no?
does the magmasaur egg requires something special to be picked up? ive picked up 2 eggs so far but cant find them in my inv after picking up
They probably spoiled as soon as you picked them up
Afaik yes
The error isnât related to li, thats just the build name (ie all errors will start with something about lost island)
As far as the actual problem, I canât really help but Iâd recommend asking in #bobs-with-probs as this chat moves a lot quicker
It worked
You have more skill at it than me then lol
Ark is showing a checkerboard floor for snow biomes on the island, ragnarok and fjordur.. (Im assuming other maps to) Is there any way to fix this? All my graphic settings are on the highest setting. Not sure if this is helpful but i'm using mac.
thank you
twice on 2 different occations?
Yep. Happens very frequently if they arenât wiped often
does any one know why it just says searching for sessions and nothing come up
so i should clear out the magmanests to get it to respawn fresh ones ?
Yeah, do nest wipes every couple days to a week. #unofficial-setup-help has pins for the commands
thanks ill check it out đ might just fly in there with my wyvern and steal every egg also
help someone pls
when i try to build, even though its green, i swing my weapon and the item does not place.
i already tried ?pveallowbuildatsupplydrops=true, but it still doesnt work
What should i do guys? The Mismatch is getting out of hand i have downloaded and deleted the mods multiple times and my teamates can join the server easy what should i do?
break ur pc in a fit of rage
I need help with my settings when I play a singleplayer game. I have Difficulty Level at 1.0 and Maximum Difficulty checked...but I've never seen a wild dino close to or above lvl 120. Isn't the max supposed to be 150 with Max Difficulty checked?
Yes, but there's a Difficulty Offset setting that also affects levels you'll see. (That and rng.)
Pretty sure there's some info on this in the #bobs-with-probs pins
Btw thats the difficulty level that theyâre talking about
Oh and also, I believe a dino wipe is a good idea after adjusting settings
(I see now, thx)
Ya I've done Dino Wipes and still not seeing anything above a 120
Where would difficulty offset setting be?
I think I found it, might have to modify my .ini thanks for info
Well I've modified the .ini and did a dino wipe, but still all low levels
now I can't find anything close to lvl 100 lol
oh i see dinos up to lvl 340
I'm just trying to get more 150s heck even 135s or 145s but I'm only seeing lvl 55s
i wish u luck
If I run a private server with Ark Server Manager there is no problem but I wanted to go back to just singleplayer through the game so I didn't have to mess with a server daily.
What are your ini difficulty settings?
(not that I'm the best person to be asking...)
What map are you on?
don't put bio-toxin to the right of the food you are eating
"Offset" does not change max wild level cap either. OverrideOfficialDifficulty does. If you are on The Island, Scorched, Aberration, or Extinction, you would need to use a mod to change the distribution.
Where can I find a theri saddle BP?
Iâd assume cave drops/ocean drops or yellow osd or higher on extinction
I have a problem in the note listing I see the 2 from the arctique biom and when I go near it it vanish how am I supposed to take it ?
are dino spawn rates based on in game time?
The island
@tepid cloak
Just read that and I added the overrideofficialdifficulty to 5 in the .ini and did a Dino wipe. Still the same
Did you read the end of my sentence?
Yes apologies the pin I read on bobs didnât said I needed an additional mod. Do you have a suggestion for one to get?

What is a good base hp/melee stat for a tamed rex
Um... how can I make a game/server where it doesn't spawn hostile raptors/t-rex literally next to me bed when I am naked and afraid yo?
Thats in inevitable part of ark
Does fjordur have a special color palette for all wild creatures?
How many of this rexs ( 60Khealth and 1530% DMG) will be enough to beat the tek cave and the overseer in alpha ?? Pls help đŠ
No I don't think it does. But Nekatus (the creator) is working on another map that will.
(Edit: I should have said, that will add a new "S" dino variant.)
So will we get server cross platform after the sotf event
The SOTF revival is the only thing that will have cross-platform.
its a standalone game not an event.
Wait what
I thought it was just an event
