GameFreak Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 where are the easiest locations to get look crates with the best blue prints or pre-made gear? ive tried looking for the ones underwater and ive only found one so far, but according to something i read it may be because a lot of them are hard to see underwater.

patton3 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 its true, the underwater crates are miniscule, and the only way to find them is to pass right by one, the best way I've found is to tame a disposable animal (not flying, things like scorpions are the best) and up only oxygen and maybe a bit of health, this is for early level gameplay, before you can get chowder or scuba gear. When you pump oxygen, it multiplies its water swim speed by about 20% better than movement speed per point, not to mention it can survive longer underwater, then make sure your own oxygen is at 200+. what I do is then shoot across the ocean and have an ipad or phone in front of you IRL with a map of crate locations and go to each one. I've visited about 6-7 locations so far and have only found 2, but an apprentice metal shield and a journeyman electric prod is pretty decent.

patton3 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 and that is also the easiest way to get silica and oil too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue with this is, you can't just go deep sea crate diving right as you start up. You need to be level 80, which you should have unlocked SCUBA gear and have advanced sea creatures like Mosasaurs and Plesiosaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patton3 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 ah, I didn't realize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patton3 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 but if he was asking for help finding them, and he said he did find one then that means he probably is high enough level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take SCUBA gear with you, riding in first person with the mask allows you to see them much more easily. If you want extra help finding them, you can always place pillars close to where they spawn, that way when you pass by and see the pillars, you know that's where one of the drops are.

patton3 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 that's a good idea, I will do that on the server I play on, not only for me but for anyone that looks for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameFreak Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 i am over lv 80 and have scuba and a mosa, i just keep getting caught by a ples or mosa i didnt see in the area when i stop to check my gps and get killed, and of course am having trouble telling if i might be passing them by or not cause they are rather hard to see. are there any other loot crates that are decently easy to get at that has similar lv drops as the underwater ones? also what is the spawn timer on the underwater crates? my friend tells me its like an hour but he's not sure.

Lupen Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ocean drops respawn every 40 minutes to an hour, and there are only two up at a time. So if you find two right away there's no point looking for a third until an hour or so has passed. -- If you can breed a high level wolf or saber and lead it into the swamp cave as a baby, after a few levels put into melee and hp it becomes entirely possible to solo as long as you take it slow and stop to heal regularly. Of course, bringing a buddy helps, but it's not completely necessary. I did this and I now solo it regularly, sometimes hourly. swamp cave has almost all of the loot that the ocean does, minus a few things like fur gear I believe. Aside from that, Carno cave has a chance to give decent items. Not as good as ocean/swamp/snow, but I have gotten ascendant saddles, journey flak, a master craft rocket launcher.

Sea are easiest if you're level80 but you are limited to what you get. Also all purple crates can give you good longneck bp they're just rare. Go for all drops because you might get something good. All my birds are max speed so travelling between is a non issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StationOG Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 If i was to offer a tip for the deep-sea loot drops, know the locations by memory. It took me awhile but well worth it. I do the trip now on a dolphin cause plesi's and mosa's are too slow. Day or night, they are a easy to spot once you memorise them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameFreak Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 how is the carno island crate bugged? and how do you survive on just a dolphin? i got killed 3 times in a row with a mosa guarding my back before i got used to searching the entire area and killing everything off to make sure it never happened again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
