  1. Didn't have a lot of play time today. Decided to go get some pelt, but to save time we took the Argies. Crafted up some fria curry and took off. Turns out, argies suck at gather pelt, lol. Ended up with maybe 70 pelt after 20 minutes of killing everything. Our curry wore off but surprisingly it was a very warm day in the snow biome, almost 50F, so before we headed home I remembered we were running low on gas so we harvested oil for a few minutes and came home with almost 600, which should tie us over for a few weeks. threw that in the forges and got some cooked meat jerky going in the preserving bin then logged out. As promised, here was the frog breeding pen we had on aberration that we never used, which is ok because it was too shallow so it probably wouldn't have worked Tonight we will probably breed sabres again so my wife gets an imprinted one and id like to get a better one, last one didn't get the 400% melee from the mother

  2. Today was just a continuation of my ice cave prepping. We made 400 shotgun shells and 50 grap hooks. On the dilo army we got lucky and popped 4 females with lvls of 190 each so the strength of that squad just doubled. Half of the dilos will be 150+ the other half will be 250+ hopefully they wreck shop in there.

  3. Had a good weekend in Ark. Got some good hatches, a few decent trades, and a lot of farming done. Trades; I’ve mostly taken a back seat from the trading market but every once in awhile find something I really want to acquire and go for it. This week after a few months of searching I finally came across my 90 armor Argy saddle BP. After quick discussions with the guy I uploaded the payment and created a new character (my standard protocol to prevent character lost) on the guys server. What a great trader. He brought me into his tribe to pick me up with the Argy, I gave him his payment, and he gave me the BP but there was a 37 minute upload timer. To pass the time, he let me use a Carno and we ran the swamp cave and he said he gives his trade partners whatever is pulled out if it doesn’t surpass what he already has. That brought the timer down to an easy 9 minute wait. I really enjoyed that trade. I traded some bp’s of my own for crystal, mostly on server but do have a visitor coming over after work today. I traded with this guy before so it’s always a smooth transaction. Farming; Outside of my raises I really just wanted to get some farming done, which i did. The problem is I farmed mostly metal and obsidian. Lol. I really enjoy the combination of the crab/anky/ravager and with the teleporter it makes it too easy to just zip over to obsidian island and clear it of both in an hour. I did farm a bunch of sparkpowder too. Two trips around the preserve netted me 25k flint with the mantis and the crab with two 1600 weight doedics on auto harvest netted me about 16k of stone. I turned that into 2 ¼ vaults of sparkpowder. I ended up hitting the charcoal trees just as 2x expired though so was only able to grab enough of that to make 2500 advanced rifle ammo. I traded for another 2000 from an ally too. They have a guy who mostly just runs the desert drops and makes bullets. He fills what he calls the “2nd amendment” vault and the rest of us in the alliance put in orders from him. I traded them a red mute Bary egg that I will probably never hatch so it worked out great. I live close to the Wyvern cove and have a lot of Argy in my area so I keep turrets on the roof plus we use assault rifles in the Rag boss fight so bullets are a big priority for us. I didn’t end up making a lot of structures like last week so I didn’t really farm too much of the basic stone, wood, thatch or CP to make metal structures. Raises; I was very fortunate in several of my hatches this week. I was unfortunate in the Argy department. Hatched probably another 25 eggs or so but still no weight mutations. I was hoping to have two weight mutations by now as the TLC drops for PS4 today. This will give me an idea at least as I am sure the trade market will be flooded in short order. I did keep an Argy with the hp, stamina, and weight stat and gifted it to an ally. He plays more than even me so we will share breeding stats at this point and between the two of us hatching I am sure we’ll get the argy line going fast. I have some nice colors (egg form) to breed in these stats but I want to get to hatch 800 weight before I do that. I did hatch my new Rex. 14k hp, 2484 stamina, 461 melee. All white and he’s a male. He’s a beast and my new top breeder. He was finishing up this morning before work. I’ll breed him several times but probably just store the eggs unless something tragic happens in a fight. I seen PS4 PvP is selling 508 melee eggs right now (typically means there is two levels higher) and I know of the breeder on PvE that has 15k hp already so the new servers are already knocking on legacy’s doors for Rex stats. I hit several spouts of good luck in the Quetz and Yuty department. For Quetzal’s I got a male with the 1680 weight, combined the orange mohawk and orange wings as well as the green beak and orange wings. I also was able to hatch another unmutated female. When she is done that will give me 4 unmutated females and my new top male breeder. The building project consisted of me putting a second floor in the Quetzal section of the flyer barn to increase the storage capacity to 10 females with 1 male. This will give me my best shot with the limitations official PvE, and my own stringent rules, has to get the next weight mutation. I’ll also breed up the colors to get that last piece there. I have a male and female with the green beak/orange wing combo and can breed the female with the orange mohawk male. The orange mohawk/wing combo is also a female so I can breed her with the green beak male or green beak/orange wing combo male. I’ll do a lot of inbreeding with that line to lock up the mutations then start selling eggs/adults. I was just as fortunate with the Yuty hatches to an extent. The pink and yellow hatched with the top combined stats (10.3k hp, 2184 stamina, 331 melee) but is female like the last one. Still this will make breeding the stats into a male with the color easier. The yellow and blue received the 355 melee I tamed over the easter event bringing it’s stats to 10.3k hp, 2184 stamina, 355 melee but is also a female (giving me 3 females with that color). Really melee is mostly a wasted stat on Yuty’s but they do get attacked by dimorph’s, griffin’s, and ptera’s in the dragon/ragnarok fights so it helps to be able to fight them off a little. Plus it popped 246 so, “yay for the hatch level!” The last one is my stat line (though I do have to revamp a little) and sits at 9900 hp, 2184 stamina, and pulled in the 355 melee. It has 1 mutation on the line from an early breeding mistake but I’ll breed with the current 355 tamed male to get a male and then breed that primarily for myself and my allies. Rest of the weekend; I played on my crafting island server a little more this weekend but also took a little extra time from Ark to watch some movies including the new Jumanji. Very funny. I actually really enjoyed it. It’s not a mind blowing excellent film but it’s very funny in its own right and kept me entertained. Other than that I watched certain Marvel movies in anticipation of Avengers Monday or Tuesday. Upcoming; Simple as boss fights, which we will do sometime this weekend as I host my crafting island server allies, a little building, farming, trading, taming, breeding, Arking. Until next week.

  4. PS4 - Private Server - Ragnarok So last night I uploaded up nearly all of my Easter tames. When I downloaded into my Single Player game, one of the Argies did not appear when I tried to download it. It acted like it did, but it was no where to be found. Kind of bummed, because is was a 145 Green and Yellow Packer argy. Everyone else made it fine. I then spent some time on a meat run, and refilling troughs. Had a few baddies drop down into one of my dino pens, but they made quick work of them. I'm actually thankful that this happened, as it made be noticed that a line of 5 of my Easter Spinos (which I had transferred over a few days earlier) was out of range of the feeding troughs. so they had been starving, but we caught it before anyone died. I then went and crafted up some more troughs, to make sure every area was covered. I accidentaly killed a 145 Raptor female that I wanted to tame. Hit the wrong button with my Wyvern and fried it, instead of picking it up. I then went back to the private server, and tamed up a few more dinos, including a beautiful Purple and Blue "Nerds" Doed. and a Purple body with Cyan hands 145 Sloth. Sadly once I got it tamed and moved next to my 145 Packer sloth, I realized they are both males ... so I need to keep looking for a female. Tamed a 150 Carno with neon green body and hot pink spikes. Couldn't pass it up. Got into a bit of trouble with some Wyverns that totally surprised me, while I was trying to tame a beautiful Argy in the South side of the map. The Argy was killed in the battle. And my Wyvern (who was not one of my Melee Wyverns, but rather a resource hauling wyvern) got taken down to less than 1000HP, so it was scary. I did some X-Wing fighter diving and deking thru some cliffs and arches to escape, once i knew that fighting them was a lost cause. Also took advantage of some Brontos that were congregating nearby to help run interference. I noticed on my Single Player game, that the wild dino population appears to be about 1/10th of what the private server has .... but the dino count is at 1 setting for both. So I might need to do a dino wipe, to refresh. Back on the server, I reduced the size of my new base, as it was causing lag and I only use like 1/2 of it. Since I plan on transferring most of my dinos tamed to the single player game anyway. I'll try to take some screen shots soon. The view from the bedroom in the base is amazing. Like a penthouse in the Rockies.
