    Ok, Palworld is really fun! :)
  • Phoenix Flaming StarJanuary 31st, 2024, 12:12 am
    Ok so, Zonks and I have, for the time being, moved on to Palworld. We are currently playing that. Don't get me wrong, Ark's a great game. It's just... we've done the Island already. https://youtu.be/ByQ6Y09ux1Y?si=uDhKx_cs7wbuoEcm <- We beat the bosses. We want something new to do in Ark, so until then, we're playing Palworld. :thumbup:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarFebruary 2nd, 2024, 3:16 am
    In Palworld, I'm currently level 29 and I tried to go after a level 45.... :tease: it didn't go well... It two-shot me... Zonks said I was brave for even attempting that. :lol:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarFebruary 2nd, 2024, 9:54 pm
    Ok so, that level 45 was a Jormuntide. Guess what I just got from an egg? A Jormuntide!!! :rofl2
  • Phoenix Flaming StarFebruary 4th, 2024, 5:08 pm
    Yes, the Palworld section is intentionally put just above Pokemon. :rofl2 Just because I think it's stupid that people fight over them.

  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 4th, 2024, 3:56 pm
    3 months until Life By You early access! :yay: :clap: Hopefully that date won't change.
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 7th, 2024, 9:57 pm
    Saw my first gigantoraptor today. A hot pink male :lol: (we have Love Evolved enabled) the baby got stuck trying to get on the nest though. I like the way they walk. :)
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 8th, 2024, 2:30 am
    When you're playing Sacred Gold and you get a call from Bugsy... :stare: STOP CALLING I'M STILL MAD AT YOU!! :mad:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 8th, 2024, 5:01 pm
    So I bought the Daft Punk songs from the official Beat Saber Steam page. I love it! It's a fantastic and fun nostalgia trip! :heart1: :clap: Also ended with the Prime Time of Your Life Live 2007... my arms don't want to work! :rofl2 It was fun though. The environments are stunning. :clap: I love the Verdis Quo environment. I practiced that on Easy so I could look at it closer. Gorgeous!
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 9th, 2024, 9:46 pm
    I just tamed my very first Gigantoraptor in Ark Ascended!! :yay:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 9th, 2024, 11:17 pm
    I like its taming method. Not too complex but still risky. :thumbup:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 17th, 2024, 5:24 am
    Anyone else sick of reboots yet? :stop:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 20th, 2024, 3:02 am
    TFW the Shiny Megalodon you're going for in Ark has an Alpha Megalodon next to it!! :pissed: X( It's very very tricky not to hit the potential tame, yet try to kill the Alpha!
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 20th, 2024, 3:20 am
    Alpha dead and potential tame knocked out! :yay:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 20th, 2024, 11:34 pm

  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 21st, 2024, 5:06 am
    For the foreseeable future, I'll be putting most information about Ark The Animated Series in spoilers. :thumbup: Even then I'm thinking I might keep things vague. :think:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 21st, 2024, 8:11 pm
    Finished all 6 episodes and... I... WANT.... MORE!!! :biggrin:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 22nd, 2024, 10:27 pm
    I am so glad I got the Immune cave done. X_X I was ready but I didn't feel ready. Zonks encouraged me and I went through it alone. (Zonks was sitting next to me, watching. He wasn't playing.) I had a megatherium with me. There were times I had to get off him, go through a small opening, draw stuff toward me, run back to my tame and kill stuff. Caves in Ark are very dangerous. It's best to not rush 'em. Be prepared, go slow, take your time. :thumbup:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarMarch 23rd, 2024, 2:32 am
    Still finding Argy's flying around that we unclaimed toward the beginning of the game. They've been surviving! :clap:
  • Phoenix Flaming StarYesterday, 12:02 am
    Ok so hiding your hat (T menu) bugs the skins. Your hair shows up along with the skin. BUG!!!!
  • Phoenix Flaming StarYesterday, 12:12 am
    Https://b.l3n.co/i/O2ilGH.jpeg :think: That doesn't look right....
  • Phoenix Flaming StarYesterday, 3:43 pm
    Happened in Oblivion just yesterday: Guard: "I fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!"

    Uh guard? You are fighting a mudcrab... :blank:

These could come in handy.

Things about Ark that doesn't fit in any other category.

*Video's were not made by me. I take no credit for them.

Taming Tips
Make sure you're prepared. (it's a lot of time and work as you level up, but this is worth it)
  • Tame some jerboa's (just punch them until they get knocked out, then feed them berries) and Dodo's so they can start giving you poop
  • Take that poop and go tame a dung beetle.
  • Tame a Phiomia (When tamed, feed them stimberries and they're super poopers! :lol: But make sure they have food too!)
  • Make yourself a garden, preferably within a green house. (I personally make my green house big enough to house my Phiomia and I let my dung beetle roam around in it too.)
  • grow narcoberries and at least 1 of the four fruits. (I personally grow all berries and fruits in my garden)
  • Make 100+ Narcopots
  • make one longneck rifle,
  • make double the ammo (tranq arrows/tranq darts) of what Dododex says you need, because you will miss or the shot won't count sometimes.
  • Build the proper trap that's away from your base (search youtube for trap ideas, different trap builds work for different dinos)
  • craft the saddle of the dino you want to tame before you go.
Feeding 25 narcopots to a potential tame, will give them 1,000 torpor (keeps them asleep)

One narcopot gives about 40 torpor.

One narcoberry gives about 7 points of torpor over 3 seconds.

After knocking out a tame, starve them (watch their food get low) while keeping their torpor high. When their food gets low, feed them. They'll tame up quick! Do not let their food run out or they will die!

Easy Otter Taming *You need a Tamed Argy for this. Will NOT work in Asgard (Fjordur) because you can't mount flyers in Asgard. :stare:
  • Hop on your Argy and find a wild Otter.
  • Pick up the wild Otter in the Argy's beak. (C on PC)
  • Feed the Otter fish to tame it like you normally would.
Boy I feel dumb for not knowing this one. :blank:

Wells are NOT a reliable source of water for your garden! Best just do it the old fashioned way. Put the irrigation pipe in a lake, ocean, or river.

Baby Crystal Rock Drakes eat Prime Crystal from the mod: Crystal Isles Dino Addition. They're crafted on the Crystal Crafter workbench.

Why do I have to join your discord server to learn that, and why is that important information not on the mod page??? :tease: :rolleyes:

During a taming, MAKE SURE YOUR MOUNT IS PASSIVE BEFORE YOU JUMP OFF IT! Otherwise your mount will go after your potential tame and kill it! X( (Lost a 150 argy :sad: )

Sinomacrops Controls:
*Sinomacrops must be on your shoulder
ButtonFunction
Hold Space
Fly straight up
<- don't press while gliding
C
Enable/Disable Glide
X
Enable/Disable Parachute
Hold R
Inventory

When taming one of these, DON'T have a flying mount near you. Sino's get scared away by them. It's best to either cryo the flyer or don't have one with you.

Keep an eye on your tamed Dung Beetles. They can get stuck inside foundations. I'd recommend not putting them on foundations at all. Just download this thing and keep them in there: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... htext=soul

When raising a baby and they want walks, make sure they follow YOU, not your tame. If they follow your tame, the walk doesn't count.

Also, if the baby wants a walk, pick it up with an Argy and fly for a bit. It should count.

For gathering dinos (Doedicarus, Casteroides, etc..) Level up their Melee Damage until their inventory fills up quickly, then level up weight to "slow down" their weight gain speed. Repeat as needed.
