PuffyPony Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 None exist for humans. If you can manage to get a low-level Moschops, they'll gather fiber for you. Otherwise, all by hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, all by hand Just looked through them all, the first saddle you can get for a fiber collector is a pachy at level 27, Not very well thought out imo, Fiber is really important early game, more so than any other material, specially as i have a few really good blueprints for stone tools and cloth armor, in total i need over 10k fiber to make them, but cant collect it on mass till i get to level 27, buy which time im onto metal tools and hide armor...making those blueprints pretty pointless unless you have a few days just to collect fiber... They really need to give us a early game fiber collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Pachy actually collects fiber unless there's been an update I've missed along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does collect Fiber, even giving it 2 stars...maybe was added laterhttps://ark.gamepedia.com/Pachyrhinosaurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yekrucifixion187 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I would think the Gigantopithecus is the earliest game fiber collector for you to tame and is also one of the best. The wiki says you have to be level 30 to tame it but really that makes no sense as you can build a trap using wood structures and use mejoberries. Wooden structures needed are unlocked at level 11. Plus no saddle needed. May be something to look into in single player. Get to level 11, make your structures but never level up and try to tame it that way.

Brayn Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Isn't sickle level 25? Use that. Prior to that by-hand picking. Gets ur narcos and mejos for taming too. Really tho why do you need fiber before level 20? Thatch atructures use some, but thatch shouldn't be used to build anything more than a 1x1. At level 20, maybe it's 15, u get a bow that can shoot like 40 arrows before breaking. Arrows take fiber. I think you're just meant to struggle until u get a sickle. if you're on scorched or rag u can kill mantis for sickles. Tranq arrows actually work really well as mantis have super low torpor.

Cowgirl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 You can craft whips at lvl 20, but that depends on the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyB Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 When your that low level you have to pick loads of berries to survive anyway just keep the fibre from picking berries until you get a sickle, then bear is lvl 35 fibre for days.

Like i said in the post, low level armor (cloth) requires fiber, i have good blueprints for cloth armor that would need nearly 10k fiber to craft them all, but give me nearly 500 armor, that will be good to have at low level, even though i play single player i play with default settings on hardest difficulty, also i have a good stone pick and hatchet, that also require alot of fiber to craft, all in all i need about 13k fiber to craft it all I do keep all the fiber i collect, but playing with default settings im luck if i get a few bits per bush, ive played hundreds if not thousands of hours with X3 or X6 harvesting, id like to try default settings for a play through, so im trying not to up the harvesting I am using the sickle and its not too bad but its a level 30 The point im making, is this cloth armor is for low level, ie 0-25, but i cant collect fiber on mass till at least level 30, making it pretty worthless to have decent blueprints for it, this is bad game mechanics imo......

You are not suppose to craft ascendant bp's when you are still low level without extreme farming. Also playing with high difficulty yields crazy bp's which yor harvesting rate does not match.

Rufiosghost Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 How did you get bp like that so early? if you're on single player, you can spawn in resources for them or the tools to collect them. Or use commands to give yourself a saddle to ride something to collect it. Lots of work-arounds. If you don't want to "cheat," you probably shouldn't have those bp in the first place. Another "cheating" option could be to spawn in new blueprints. I've found you can get bp with similar item quality but much lower resource requirements on bp you spawn in instead of bp you find.

WolfeUK Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 I dont want to cheat stuff in, i might aswell put harvest on 20x's if im going to do that..... The BP's ive collected over the past year when i was a level 100, i kept the cloth armor and stone tools so i could give myself a good start when i decided to start over on default settings, which is kinda the point in it all, i mean why would i use stone tools or cloth armor at level 100 right, and your not going to find those items when your a level 30, so the only purpose is to use them when starting over, half the reason why we can place items in the obelisk ready for the next play through I spent a long time doing SP play throughs, wiping my saves and starting over, i soon realized i was giving up on some really good blueprints that i could keep and give myself a small head start on the next play through, dont forget, theres no harder way to play this game than in SP.....

Im giving myself BP not items, and an Ascendant sickle would cost 500 plus iron, and thats not an early game item.... Again i will say it, im talking about early game, like 0-25, not mid to late game And again i will say it, why give you ascendant blueprints for cloth which is meant for early game like 0-25 when they cost so much in fiber, but you cant collect fiber in mass early game, thats all im asking guys.....game mechanics.....

Kraken Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 But you’re missing the point. Those Ascendent Cloth BP’s, even though they are ‘just’ cloth, simply aren’t available to low level players, they’re RNG being a DireWolf from high level drops which you’re level 20 Bob can’t get because they’re in caves, the ocean, or simply level locked. If you hadn’t kept them then you wouldn’t be seeing them at all until at least level 60 when having fought your way through a difficult cave to a coveted yellow or red cave drop you open it and curse the heaven that all you have is a useless MC Cloth Boots BP!

maldrean Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 what we started out for the 3rd time in 2 years my brother agroed and traped a lvl 5 thery in abox aand slow tamed it so take a look at that toss bodys at it to get you to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 To answer your main question though, if you really want the fiber right now, your best bet is to tame a Moschops, they’re a passive tame and you’ll need either Mejoberries, Raw Prime Fish Meat, Cooked Prime Meat, Rare Flowers, or Rare Mushrooms to tame them, it’ll change to one of those every time it wants feeding. Put it on wander around bushes and it will gather loads of fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but then at level 60 would you wear that 'cloth' gear ? no of course you wouldn't, by then you would have alot better armor than cloth, even ascendant cloth, and thats the point im trying to make, the cloth gear has a armor rating of about 100-130 for each item, that wouldn't suffice for a level 60 player, but as a player starting out it would, but as that player starting out you have no way of making it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonie1 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 People use MC and Asc cloth in the hot biomes even at high levels... The point myself and others are making is you dont seem to mind giving yourself a major advantage when starting over, yet you draw the line at creating items or giving yourself other bps. Thats a bit confusing. Cloth bps, quetz saddles, its still giving yourself a boost. Its not starting over. Its starting over with high level bps, giving yourself a huge advantage.
