Big breeding weekend, trades of course, and some hunting for tames. Tames; I built a new trap up near our worker barn on Dead Goon Preserve. With the Argy buff coming I started looking for a higher base weight than what we have though was unsuccessful. I did tame a 150 that had a good chance for higher hp, though it fell short. It's a solid all around bird. Our current high's are 3.5k hp, 1280 stam, 760 weight, 408 melee but those all came from different birds. This one bird had 3.2k hp, 1220 stam, 736 weight though the melee was only 346. Just a solid bird and I'll hold him because he'll sell once the Argy buff comes. So my trap is fairly simple (crude drawing included) and can double as a Saber trap. 2 dino gates on either end, stone door frames are the walls, reinforced doors on the lower door frames to protect your tame, and a metal ramp to drop down the back and exit a side door with the Saber trapped nowhere to go and the Argy gets turned around and stuck as well. It's designed for a mount too with the back entrance but at 500 hp and 190 stam I can tank most damage to get these things in the trap on foot. I knocked out quite a few Sabers but nothing worth taming and I knocked out a few decent Argy's in other stats but am conserving my Stego kibble for the higher weight chances. I may tame 2 more Stego's to up that egg increase. I did knock out a few Rex's as well but my main focus was breeding, so outside of the one Argy nothing else got tamed this weekend. Trades; There were a bunch and some are in the work. I traded mostly for mats as I stayed on the preserve for a big chunk of the weekend and didn't really get out to farm. My tribe mate needed vaults for the new desert palace, which is coming along nicely; , so I moved one of my original female Yuty's with the high stam but lower hp for 8 of them with a guy I had previously traded with. It was perfect timing since he messaged me about Yuty's right after my tribe mate asked about vaults. I moved a few of the weight Quetz eggs, some Wyvern's (shortly after they finished and on my server too which surprised me), studded out my one male Rex, a Thorny Dragon egg, a couple of the guranteed Yuty eggs, and a couple of the xmas Argy's. A guy paid 4k cp for the one 150 tamed but lost it about 3 hours later to some Wyvern's. He asked if I had another so I moved the high melee one who also had good weight (he was looking for weight). He originally asked if I'd raise him one but I was booked with my raises so I told him I'd move that second one for 4k more cp. I hope he keeps that one alive. If not I have the 135 xmas and the 150 I tamed yesterday to move. I have a few trades on the dockets yet. I have a nice blue shell anky egg coming, a yellow shell egg, a red bary egg, and a purple/pink/blue argy. For those I am raising our new magenta tipped green spike anky's and one each of our red and purple spike doedic's. The bary is OP and hatches with 4.5k hp and 434 melee so I'm willing to trade grown for eggs with those stats. I have some people grinding out some building pieces for the 150 kibble tamed xmas beaver and the 234 beaver raise mating pair I've had. I realized they were just sitting there and our Thorny's are so good, it doesn't make sense to hold onto them. The building pieces will go towards our new flyer barn which I placed some behemoth gates on this weekend. Raises; I was pretty fortunate with my raises this weekend. I hatched two Quetzal's, both male. A level 220 and a level 233, both with all the stats (9996 hp, 2400 stam, 1648 weight). They were just shy of adolescent this morning. I'll move the 220, and have already had several people just on my server inquire about it, and make the 233 my breeder with the two females. I don't think I'll be able to hatch 10 at a time like on legacy anymore and I'm not sure what their utility is going to be after the Argy buff but I'll raise a few here and there as there seems to be interest. I finally got the the new Ravager hp (3100) with the melee (240) albeit on two females. Everybody wants Drakes and Reaper's though so the Ravager program is more of a personal thing for the time being. I did take out a pack of 5 of them and 4 vultures this weekend for fun and we destroyed the peninsula. I will probably breed a few every weekend but only keep stat mutations going forward. I hatched a mating pair of 262 Anky's this weekend and am so happy. Magenta tipped abberant green spikes (not from Abberation but a color that seems to fit that motif) and all of our high stats (7140 hp, 945 stam, 460 weight, 387 melee). Seems to be a lot of interest in that color, one guy is giving me a 230 melee pink Giga egg for a male raised, so a few of my trades were centered around getting colors to add in. I got a yellow belly Anky, a blue shell Anky, and a yellow and blue shell Anky (eggs) through separate trades plus the trades still in the work mentioned above. It'll be fun trying to combine all those color's. I cleaned up a Rex side when I hatched a male with the 12.5k hp and 414 melee I acquired in a different trade and combined it with our 2226 stamina, though I missed the weight. Still it gives me guaranteed hp and melee stats if I choose but also the ability to breed for stat mutes since I have 6 females with 0 mutations and 6 with only 3. This is kind of old though now as over the weekend I did trade for a 12.5k hp and 449 melee egg. I'll hatch it this upcoming weekend and see what we get. My highlight raise this weekend though was a Yuty. I hatched a few eggs seeing if I could get a stat bump and I got a stat bump and a color mutation. Hp bumped from 9900 to 10.3k with the 2184 stam and the 331 melee. A lot of interest in this. I have already set up a trade for a yellow fur Yuty, in different regions of the face and body, and have decided to look for a pink stripe so I can make a lemonade Yuty. Very happy with this one and like the Quetzal's, was just shy of adolescent this morning. I also grinded out some ammo this weekend and will the rest of this week as we prepare to hit the caves for artifacts this upcoming weekend. We're hitting them all too. I have 4 vultures with 2k hp and 500+ melee for the ice cave, am working on rockets for the lava golem, and we decided to go with compound bows over sniper rifles for the puzzle labryinth so getting more metal arrows. I plan on addiitional harvesting and light breeding this upcoming weekend plus I am sure many more trades. Until then...

I second this! If I could high five you I would.

Quiet night. I'm a little at a loss at the moment after finishing my surface build man-cave but literally outside our base on fertile lake was a 125 male Karkinos - looking up the map scrape data I see it has 31 points in melee pre tame and decide to take it down. I jump on my rock drake, dino gateways equipped in hotbar and take aggro from the Karkinos - get it to follow me next to one of the "steps" of land where I stay mounted and surround it in gateways before jumping out of the way to setup the catapult. Catapult set on the hill it looks like it's in a good position and I begin... whoosh, smash, whoosh, smash, whoosh, smash... I stop, it is looking very colourful as blood seeps from most of its body so I dismount and pull out my magnifying glass to check. Ooops - only 2k Torp but down to 343 HP. The catapult hits for 250 each shot so one more would have likely killed it but I'm still 3.5k short on the torpor to KO it. I leave the area in hopes that it will heal quickly - no such luck. I return and torpor nearly empty but only got 1.5k HP. I decide that it might heal if it eats something so return my drake over the base wall and come out on our existing Karkinos - Christine Cringle. I pick up a couple of dodos in each claw and smash them into the ground to kill them off where I then jump off, grab a corpse and try get it to the trapped Karkinos. The Karkinos gets angry, smashes the ground taking the dodo fro my hands and picking me too - I manage to "glide" and escape from its clutches. Re-checking this with the magnifying glass its HP is going up rapidly this time whilst its torpor is nearly almost empty. I wait for it to fully heal and re-mount my catapult to try again. Same again, it's HP nearly fully drained but Torpor still 2k short of my target to KO. I grab another dodo, kill it and drag to the Karkinos - it eats and HP heals fast and upon fully healing the torp is still 2.5k!!... I re-mount, 3rd time lucky and it goes down with 1.5k hp left!! I wait until its ready, stuff turtle kibble down its throat and saddle it to jump the wall into base. After gaining some levels it's now almost 9k hp, better weight than our existing and hits for 301 points when mate boosted.

Its been a while since I've updated. We have done a lot of little things, not much taming but a lot of exploring. We've aldo done a little work on the base including a large green house with 5 of each berry to help use up all this extra fertilizer we get from our beetles. We have been slowly making element. Up to about 20, lol. Had more but used some on the s+ tek elevator. Biggest thing is time, those powernodes take so long to recharge I keep forgetting to make more element when they come back online. Last Saturday we decided to finally try finding rock drake eggs. Before we set out we mated our megalosaurs incase things went horribly wrong. So the wife and i loaded up a couple of radiation suits, grabbed our best glow pets, hopped on our 100% imprinted megalosaurs and set out on an adventure. After about 20 minutes we found the spine to follow down to the bottom. So we start going and I make a wrong turn and get lost about 10 minuted in. The entire time it seems to be non stop fighting. I must have got dismounted 3 or 4 times and blew threw my 1st suit in no time. At that point I decided to abort the mission and try and find our way back before my spare suit wore out. After another 20 minutes I find the spine again and we start making our way out...only to have a reaper queen appear. I try to run but its to fast, so we commit to the fight and it actually went down without much of an issue. I was actually kind of dissappointed thinking they were much tougher and we were going to loose atleast 1 megalo...lol. So after that excitment we get home as fast as possible and call it a night. Sunday we decided to make another run. This time we craft 4 suits each and head out again. Halfway to the spine we had a river crossing and my wife gets caught by a beryonyx and a jelly. I get the shore and pump the berry fully of lead with my shotgun. My wife makes it to shore but her megalo is stun locked by the jelly. I try shooting it from shore with my shotgun but an earthquake starts at the same time so I keep hitting her megalo instead of the jelly. So I load up the cross bow with arrows and dive in and finally take out the jelly. As im getting her megalo to shore she is killed by an Arthro. So I grab her stuff, whistle her megalo to follow and meet her back at base to regroup. Round 2 we finally get to the spine, saw where I made the wrong turn, and made it to the drake trench without any more issues. So we clear out as many drakes as we can and I climb down to the first nest...and the egg spoiled on pickup just like wyvren eggs do. I was pissed. I climb back up to my megalo to deal with the onslot. Then I pick up the next egg, a 135 and it doesnt spoil. Get back to the megalo, fight the drakes...rinse and repeat. Ended up with 4 eggs, a 135, 142, 240, and 75. At that point we decided to head back and make it home with out any issues. That night we hatched the 240 and got twins, a boy and a girl. Awesome luck, i imprinted on the male, my wife on the female. So this week we plan on leveling the drakes and learning to use them and this weekend we will finally make a black pearl run

Okay, since my post got waaaay too long, I decided to put it behind a spoiler, so you don't have to read it unless you want to (and you won't have to scroll through a novella to get to a more interesting post either). In short; some very productive days on Aberration and it's been fun playing after a short break.

I'm a glutton for punishment and took one more round around the redwoods. Finally ran into this guy not very far from my trap! He was a 140 when I found him, tamed out to 209 with kibble. I'll call tonight a success.
