Goha Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I recently started playing ARK again, this time I started on SE. Last weekend I managed to tame a Giant bee queen, so now I need Rare Flowers to keep the hive healthy. I got some while gathering berries with Morellatops, but in very low quantity. So I went to a Raganrok server and tamed a low lvl Therizinosaur. With its 'tickle' attack (right click on PC) I was able to gather more Rare flowers from the purple flowers scattered around my base, but not nearly as much as I remembered when I did it in the swamp on Island server. I gathhered maybe 150 in 30-40 min, which is not that bad, but there has to be a better way to do this. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazzamaniac Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I usually go around red obelisk, the small flowers are everywhere in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBakken Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 It's the way to do it on SE, using berry farmers on purple / pink flowers around obelisks. Or you can go to Ragnarok and handpick them around rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goha Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 I thoguht I give you an update on this. I went with the Theriz on a flower-picking advenutre a couple of times, harvesting the flower patches to the way to the Blue obelisk and back to the base. I brought my trusty Rex with me as a bodyguard. It was OK, but a bit time consuming. Nowadays I just set the Theriz wandering around the base (it's surronded by walls, so he's relatively safe). He collects 1-2 stack of Rare Flower and Rare Mushroom, tons of Plant Species Y seeds, some wood and thatch, before I need to unload his inventory. It's not as fast as if I would control him manually, but it's automatic, just need to remember to empty the inventory form time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcpullen Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Therizinosaur import from another map was the only reasonable way to get mass amounts for bees in particular. Even on my private server with boosted rates, nothing could get enough in a reasonable amount of time otherwise. Tickle chicken on purple flowers was the best yield on SE.

MirageUK Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I had some success using the Procoptodon right click "kickback" attack on the flowers around Red Obelisk. Not nearly as efficient as a Therizino in The Island swamps but seems faster/more efficient than a Morelatops or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Moschops can specialize in Rare Flower. May want to give them a try. Carry with argent or just walk it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Never even considered the Moschops - only ever used in Aberration to collect org poly from Karkinos after we killed em and they were a nightmare to use with their "skittish" behaviour when anything remotely threatening is nearby. I will give them a go another night - breeding up my vulture pack at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can also be specialized to collect sap from the Joshua Trees You won't notice any significant harvesting from them though until you put 45+ levels into the resource. Once upped, they're pretty amazing at gathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageUK Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I just use the master craft chainsaw I got from a drop to get sap and anything else relating to trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormknightUK Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I keep a Morellatops for this. An hour of farming the flower patches around the green obelisk nets me about 300 rare flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyHess666 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Also remember to up the "Additional Delicate Harvest" stat on the Therizinosaurus, it should have an impact on how many rare flowsies you're getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
