Espresso Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 With the launch of the new servers, I am currently laying out a game plan in my head of what dinos I want to tame and I'm curious what others had in mind. This could vary based on the person; whether you prioritize building to level up and add structures to your land (weight and gatherer dino priority) or you prioritize meat and berry farming for baby raising (because you need those mutation otters), or even a mix of both. I'm starting off with a few other people so I'll be able to focus more on the taming and gathering while others build, but my top five (in no particular order) would be: Megaloceros: Level 30 saddle, thatch gatherer and they're super duper cute + easy to tame with bolas Equus: Level 20 saddle, portable mortar and pestle with 300 slots....will be SUPER nice when you need to make all of those narcotics (I want to set up an SE outpost for even faster meat spoilage!) just gotta get crop plot at level 15 and immediately put down carrots so that I can tame them asap! Mammoth: Level 31 saddle, effective wood and berry gatherer (until I get a better berry gatherer with higher base weight like a bronto or even a delicate-weight combo therizino) Doedicurus: Level 34 saddle, gathers stone with weight reduction for not only easier building but crafting stone structures is incredible for experience, I already have a perfect rock zone in mind for them Griffin: No saddle, incredible for the beginning levels if you can secure the arrows + narcotics---I already have an idea of how to get a few of them somewhere near the start Most of my dinos require between level 30-40, which isn't hard to reach with crafting I just had to include my gatherers of choice since I love farming (yet rot at building), but after those are obtained I will have quite a different list of priority tames ^^ So what are your selected dinos you will prioritize and why? Lemme know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrekasaurus Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Well, I won't be starting anything new once launch hits, but I do have some suggestions. Tyrannosaurus: Can take down almost every threat, and easy to tame. Ankylosaurus: Gathering metal...yeah. Iguanodon: Very good travel mount, plus it can harvest berries like no one's business. Argentavis: Very cool birds with decent stats, and they're relatively easy to tame. Baryonyx: Probably one of the most underrated tames. They're powerful, fast, great swimmers, and they can jump, all while healing themselves on fish meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLord Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Argentavis: An amazing tanking scout built and raised properly. A high level warbird can enable you to scout and raid crap bases with ease. Anklyosaurus: Metal and spark powder ingredients? Yes please. Doedicurus: Stone for days. Tyrannosaurs: Rule of cool, plus they destroy before you can get your giga going. Turtles: Because I intend to raid more than I have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtles are not worth anything with the new turret buff, u will get instantly shot off now with the Survivor Only setting. I would recommend the stego. Asc saddle unnerfed, Great breeding cycle, and the hitbox protects u even on the new turret settings. so u can keep on draining like before.

yekrucifixion187 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 For me the top 5 utilities to tame are Anky, Quetz, Rex, Doedic, Theri followed closely by a Beaver/Thorny. To tame those though you almost have to tame 3 dilo's, 3 scorpions, 1 oviraptor, 2 megalosaurus' (which yay for that, lol). So perhaps waiting on the Theri and taming 3 raptor's so you can tame a Mammoth makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChilliBean Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Dodo's. At least 12 maybe 24. I want everyone for miles around to hear the noise of a dodo farm. Level them all for speed and run around with them following behind like a flock of children following a gleeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want a mantis within a week, when you can get all the resources with the best dino that can harvest it? I meant that a Mantis is not priority number one, and I think this thread is about day 1 dinos, or day 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis > Giga, Mantis > Rexes, Mantis > Therizinos, Mantis > Daeodons, Mantis > Yutys, Mantis > Quetzes, Mantis > Stegos, I love how Mantis is one of the best tames.

FlyinJapman4 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Depends on whether or not you play Offical or Private. Since I am a private/single player person, I tend to start at the bottom. My ideal tames are the Allosaur, the Tapejara, the Baryonix, the Megalania, and the Basiliosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only done large scale raiding and minimal solo raiding, and I'd like to get better at the solo raids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
