Last night we bred the sabres again and my wife got a lvl 300 male and a 100% imprint on it (only needed 1 imprint for sabres at my rates), so today we decided to go on a pelt/leveling run with the sabres. We crafted up more curry and headed to the snow biome. On the way I stopped and grabbed enough pearls to make a few more fridges. While gathering pelt I noticed a 172 male argent which would be a perfect mate to our female (150 pre tame) so we kited him to a nearby pen and continued to gather pelt while it starved. When I started getting full of pelt, we got enough prime for the argent and finished taming it then headed home. Nothing too special on its stats, 1100 stam and just under 800 weight were the 2 that stood out, but it will be nice to breed with. So we get back to base and we had enough pelt for 1 fur set. Then I craft the fridges and we log for the day. Mammoth is on the top of our list for this weekend and then we start the dino pen expansion. I'm also starting to think this game is wanting me to tame an army of gallimimus because I have gotten about half a dozen blue gallimimus saddle bps and 2 or 3 blue gallimimus saddles from drops over the last week. We also have a few blue mammoth saddles and bps as well

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.

hatchin' new wyvern and may i'll do rock drake as well later

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.

Sacrificed some new players to the Almighty Alpha Wiper

Well it was my first day playing yesterday, played on PS4 PVP 79 made it to level 21 and had a solid base idea with 3 dilos until I see someone stood outside my base on an electric Rex lol (forgive me I am still getting used to names lol). At first I thought he may have been here to help me out abit until 2 quetzals landed one picked me whilst the electric Rex destroyed everything and then they just dropped me from the sky and I died and that was the end of that. So to sum it up I basically did nothing lol, but not to worry this is an awesome game and hopefully with a little practice I'll be able to handle myself a bit better.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

if that you take your eyes off one of those and its walked across the map.. probably making a b-line towards your base.... Half my base was "offlined raided" in pve by one in June and i still have PTSD i mean i have my base surrounded by behemoth gates but you never know

Raising 10 wyverns! Get some wyvern eggs. Hmm moved bases.

Bruh, both of the titans on my server are within render distance of each other, and they're probably about 5 minutes walk from my base.

feed my dinosaurs go get sap for the snails, express extreme anxiety at the Titanosaur wandering across the river

I ATE A BABAY! Okay, so only part of one. Prime jerky, had a random single piece that just wouldn't fit in the jerky fridge... So I ate it.

I used 600 c4 blowing up vaults littered across my server filled with tek structures from our enemies. They atleast have a funny side to them they named the server GG admin wipe with the server number on the vaults.

Been at work for the last 8 hours so I've just checked in here periodically all day...two hours left then I'm going home to my redwood treehouse

Well I logged in and lagged out for about 5 minutes, then rubber-banded all over the place so I quit and went to work where it's less stressful.

Went to Carnivore Island flying my top Pteradon looking for a high level mate for my female Argy who is lvl 262. Got a bit too low showing off fighting Carno's and Raptors and got knocked off and killed. Took another Pteradon there to get the first one back and discovered corpses of dead Argys everywhere stuck in the sky. Top Pteradon is fine after fighting the birds so we get him to follow in the dwindling light. Loot crate on the edge of Carno Island looks interesting so I hop off and take a look. Whilst I'm doing that the two bloody Ptera's fly off together in some romantic secret getaway thing and I'm stranded on Carno Island!! (forget to sort out the who's following who commands). Had to swim to shore, avoiding the jellyfish and get my Argy to look for them. Looked all over the North East of the map and failed to find them. Had to tame a lvl 50 male Argy just to get something productive done. Disastrous session.
