GrumpyBear Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 In aberration you can either get it from trilobites or from rocks on the surface early on. If you have a Kark and an anky you can go to the surface and do it very easily. If you don’t, then u get a pick and a fast ravager with weight and mine those rocks yourself.

Kawarriorking Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 yeah AB is not the best for oil. You can get it on the surface and dodge reapers the whole time, you can get it down in the element region and dodge rock drakes the whole time. Or you can farm trilos and dodge boredom the whole time. Best advice I can give......spend a weekend setting up a oil outpost on a low population SE server. I have a small base I log into once a week spend about 5-10min making gasoline then transfer it over to my AB base. It is a nice change of scenery(not being stock in a cave all the time) and I have found that people on SE servers will pay for AB tames so you can make a nice little side business transferring tames as well.

I dont know if SP is diffrent from Multiplayer,but for me the only way to transfer to another Map is via the Obelisks.(ShinHorns transfer was removed,and all the drops Ive opened so far are missing any tribue/transfer options) And If I have access to an Obelisk it means ive "conquered" or mastered the surface, and with that have oil at my disposal although yea need to dodge terrifying mobs doing that..

Kawarriorking Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Yeah in multiplayer transferring is fairly easy. Best advice I can give for a new player on AB is to set up a base or outpost near the surface entrance around 25,67. Then get to work taming a few ravagers. You will need to build a ramp or set up a zip line to get to the surface but once done you will have a reliable way to farm oil. Going to the surface through that entrance you will find about 10-15 oil spawn points pretty close to the entrance. As a bonus if you get a reaper on your tail you can jump off the cliff at the entrance and when it follows you over the edge just run back up the zipline and go back to farming oil. Of course when your done farming you will have a pile of reapers waiting for you in the entrance tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaMidwayM0nster Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Dung beetles work well once you have access to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anguelwyvern Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 easy way is definitly dung beetle, next i would say kill seeker, even if they dont give "lots" of oil they do provide a bit (a fairly decent spino or megalo, 1 ~2 rad suit into red and good for 1 hrs of farm) you can probably expect 1 or 2 stack if farming intensively, next you got oil at rock drake trench but obviously you need a good mount to go there, last i recommend the surface can be really challenging, i dont recommend it even with a ravager, because if you happen to see an alpha (yes very rare i know but still risk is here) well you are then screwed id go to the surface only with ppl to protect me (best is reaper (megalo) and karkinos anky, fast, farm lot, and fairly secure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newholland Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I personly would go to the surface if I was you just grab the oil up there with a ravenger or just kill trylobytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With eight high lvl ravagers this actually worked really well for the first five or so reapers. But one reaper would always run off and then two to three more would come running back. Two reapers become six, six becomes ten and then it's all over. No matter how many I killed more came running. I have also tried it in groups with Rock drakes. Same issue, the first four or five go down easy but they just keep assaulting you until you flee or die. The greatest success I have had on the surface is just me and my ravager. A unleveled ravager isn't going to outrun a reaper but if your listening for the sound a reaper makes when it pops up out of the ground, you can be on your ravager and on your way back to the entrance before it is ready to start running after you. Use the rocks and other obstacles to slow the reaper down(it can jump but AI is dumb) and you will have no problem out foxing a reaper. I guess the real question is how far do you want to go into the surface? If you just want to get oil and element you can find plenty right near the entrance, take a ravager get in get out no problem. If you want to go to the obelisk you will need a group with serious mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango23 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I get a lot of oil myself through dung beetle tames on wander. Takes a while but eventually you build up enough. I don't use oil for gasoline on AB, I use green gems and gas balls at chemistry bench for gasoline which is a real life saver when you don't have the tames for surface runs.

Roshona Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Oil is fairly easy to get. Killing Trilo's during x2 can garner you quite a bit. We have 3 dung beetles that create more oil than we really need for crafting or making jerky. Now if you are looking to manufacture gas, then gas balls are most definitely the thing to collect. Many gas collectors on our server are left unlocked so collecting them is never an issue. We have 3 or 4 that we regularly leave unlocked. And green gems....well those are everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
