I like to PvP, and PvE. Usually wearing an Exo Suit nowadays. Unlocking it is easy with no cheats needed anymore, and usually on a server, official or unofficial, I'm not fussed. Single Player is great though, certainly with a guide for any platform be it xbox, ps4, ps5, pc, it's great. Sometimes play MTS, and usually post patch/update. But a survival game needs some community news and that's what I do, giving you the latest on events, small tribes, maybe even fast flyers and primitive plus, usually covering all maps from Island to Genesis Part 2. And one day. ARK 2!

Quick note: If you want to tame Pt’s easily, Rag highlands is the place to go. If you find a sheep, you can get mutton and there are dead whales on the shore that give enough keratin to craft a saddle. The average time for me on Ark official is around 20-30 minutes depending on the Pt level.

Thats actually very good guide for unofficial and small tribes servers! But if ur playing official 1x and if ur solo NEVER grind cus grinding on 1x is pain for solo so i prefer go tame pt or wyvern and any lvl artho and tame parasaur get crypod and JUST scout for raids you will get lot of resources as well from raids and you don't need to waste your billion hour and always stay hidden.

@ibocardof7950 3 года назад

Rasclaark the best note run is on Extinction, because you can later take the notes on island to Max level in the swamp cave Edit: tropical wyvern is better than pt Edit 2: if you just bough the Game, i would play singleplayer just to know the basics, taming, building, resource location and breeding, if you just join a official server, people is going to Cage you or steal all your stuff, so after singleplayer i would to unofficial (x10 or x5 no more, you can also try x1000 or more ) and then join official if you want

@Raasclark 3 года назад

It certainly is. The only reason I did go for a wyvern is its much harder to hide with one initially without cryos. Appreciate the advice on Extinction. Perhaps I'm too archaic and need to refresh myself on those notes.

@novaenricarter705 3 года назад

It's also so much easier to not die on extinction going note to note. Never lose that XP stack

@shoelacemonster2796 3 года назад

True extinction is better but some peeps dont have extinction

@splinter8899 2 года назад

as kinda of a newbie (about 100 hours of gameplay) I wanted to know two things, first, why would you want to build your base on the crater with a low population server? It seems for safety, but doesnt that defeat the purpose of pvp? if you cant fight many people while isolated there?, and second, do you have videos of the layouts of that amaizing tiny base?, cheeers!

@Raasclark 2 года назад

You want to build as Hidden as possible in PvP mate. As for the layout it's honestly nothing special but I'll bear it in mind for the future

@nathanglasgow5084 2 года назад

I'm doing that currently on a low population server so I have the most safety and go to other servers to raid

@SiNisterFPS 2 года назад

For pvp, since the introduction of server transfer which was so long ago, the reason he states go to a low population server is you build and farm on that server as your less likely to be found compared to a high population server and it will be harder to farm on a high pop server. Once your on your feet, got a good pvp kit and want to raid and fight. You transfer over to another server. Once your done pvp, come back to your server, everything loot wise which you got can also be transferred etc

@Andy_1777 Год назад

So I’ve never played pvp or really any online game before, in ark will people try to kill you just bc they see you, or is it a situation where they’ll leave you alone until you’re attacking them or raiding their base?

@Straightmerkin1 2 года назад

yeah, cool thinking, but getting all of those levels and recourses takes days irl even with a group of 3. And no matter how hidden you are, you are going to be reset by some dude with a wyvern in 3 days tops.

@Sparky-cj9se 3 года назад

I feel that this is the ideal place to write about how I started. 1.Spawn in. Go straight to a stone 2 x 3 in the open. 2. Grab a pt and a little metal for a smithy. 3. Off to a rathole we go! 4. Turrets. I like to do 20 heavies slot capped with ammo before focusing on taming rexes and the like. 5. VELOS. Always have at least 5 or 6 below in the process of being raised. Literally scatter them around the area near your base. 6. Play nice. Speak with alphas casually. *Ask* if they need anything such as wyvern eggs and if they can hook you up with some more advanced defences. E.G. Golems, low level reapers, mutated velos etc. 7. Don't be stupid. Don't go raiding before having the above defences. Don't speak in global. Don't execute old tames. (Just put them on wander aggressive away from spawns) 8. Have a backup cache. You dont want to go back to the start. 9. Ik nobody likes fortitude, but if you have around 40, you will very rarely have to worry about temperature. 10. Should probably grab some notes before each large crafting session. *In regards to tribemates* 1. If they know you have stuff they know you have loot. Say you are at thatch. You need trust worthy, active mates. Remember, if they have a large day count, they are probably insiders due to the fact that in alll their one thousand days, they didn't get built up. 2.Dont make them do stuff besides upkeep of base. So that's getting ammo, meat, berries and maybe a turret every 2 days. 3. Have your leader make personal vaults. Nobody likes a mate who is "just looking" at your stuff.

@Raasclark 3 года назад

Apart from building anything in the open I totally agree mate! I'd rather get that PT and get hidden ASAP.

@Sparky-cj9se 3 года назад

Ehh, it's fine just to get that initial 5 metal.

@Me-xk4il 3 года назад

If you are starting out on the Ark you shouldn't have more than 5 people in your tribe because on official most alphas hate when their server is populated because it makes it laggy and more people would want to raid, and another thing do never raid others on the same server as you because that'll make unwanted conflict and beef. But you should play with some people who is experienced at the game so it will make it easier and not having to spend your time months trying to figure it out like me. Everyone Have a Great day.

Hey here’s a better way to get flying: First you wanna go to Ragnarok and spawn on the highlands SW I believe may be wrong. Then make an axe and farm spoiled meat and keratin from the dead balsilsour’s on the beach then make some tranq arrows and knock out a PT. After knocking them out look for some sheep to feed the PT then after taming go to a drop and transfer. I hoped I helped ya’ll

@purecarbon0 3 года назад

Ye center is probs not the play, maybe crystal with its wyverns, or ab since it cuts out a step so you can move on to a sneaky base spot which is notoriously easy. Hmmmmmm. Maybe i got to see if i missed a quality in Center.

@Raasclark 3 года назад

It's just to get the mini grind on dude staying hidden, your on your own from there

@novaenricarter705 3 года назад

I prefer ab but center is great, lots of mats easy to hide. Ci for me isn't great PvP because the ass base spots but the farm and easy tames Is sexy. Then again I only farm transferring really with a base on ab. No fliers makes it harder to raid I feel
