click56 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Caving or Diving First? I am wondering whether in my solo vanilla world I should go caving or go diving first. I have a level 33 baryonyx and a diplocaulus (the ampiiban lizard guy) level 42. Any help would be appreciated thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aushegun Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Totally depends on what your goals and needs are. Looking for chitin and loot, then perhaps caving. Looking for silica pearls, then diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen00 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 With a low level bary I'd say you can hit up the easy cave for chitin and some loot from the chests. As far as diving goes, top-left of the map you can pick up lots of pearls right where the jungle meets the frozen tundra in the water, no need for diving equipment. You can also pick up lots of oil there as well the further north you go. If you don't want to travel north (tame a ptera) then there's several oil nodes right off the cost of stone beach (on the west side of it) that are easy to access if you have 300+ oxygen, or a dino that can swim fast (your diploc thingy) but no easily accessible pearl nodes. Instead you need to be raiding beaver dams for pearls and cement paste. Check the wiki for spawn locations, but they spawn around the same place that the oil can be found.

deedoubleu Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Maybe it's just me, but I had problems finding deep-sea crates and usually they wasn't worth it, even reds. Unless you making a collection of asc plesio platform saddles. Underwater caves on the other hand are pretty good. I would strongly recommend getting another bary and mating them just to have imprinting bonus on your mount and have a breeding pair in case cave/underwater exploration goes bad.

PertySlick Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 For me the flippin super-jellyfish make diving a pretty late-game endeavor or whenever I get a Basilosaurus. Yes you can swim around them and such. But just a single one is able to completely ruin your adventure and the loot is usually not worth it. The Baryonyx is a great cave tame but as somebody else said: get at least that imprint bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
