  1. Xbox Scorched Earth Unoffical Started the day off like most of mine, did the chores. Topped off bins, did a quick meat and berry run. Went back out to get more wood, sand and cactus sap. Im sitting around 60 foundations, 100 walls, 40 ceilings, 20 sloped and still need more for my new base. Made another 20x founds, 50x walls and 10 ceilings. While.out farming i spotted a 140 roo. Gathered more mushrooms, went back to.clean the area and tame it. Ive been just bola'ing my tames then building stone gates around em. Quick and easy, always lots of leftover stone from clay farming too. Got this sucker tamed up with no problems. I now have a speed roo! So mucg fun. Went out on a test drive, wanted to check out a few base locales. Stopped by green ob, didnt like it to much. (For a base area) and while exploring around found an oil vein, a new metal outpost and a 203 wild wolf! Same method of tame, I always have darts, narcs and gates on me. Got a new killer. Tamed out almost level 300, 3k hp and 351 melee. After the wolf was safely back in base i went up the canyon to keep looking for a spot. I was set on a plateu near a lake, pretty much smack dab in the middle of the map. After about an hour of hanging around the place, testing a few base spots with thatch i decided to make my base slightly down more, on a two part ramp leading up to the 'upper' parts of the canyon. Went back to base and hauled over some adobe, made two walls with a stone behe gate in each on each side of the plateu and thatched out my main first building. After awhile I was satisfied with it, went back to craft all the insides, boxes, smithys, bins, pestles etc. It was getting late now, got a xbox msg from my real life buddy who was asking about my server rates. He didnt like how it was so low but it seems he joined later anyways after i went to sleep. Ill see if he continues to play. Ill tame some stuff for him later this weekend if he plans to. Got a wedding to go to today, should be a great party. Happy arking all and all a prosperus weekend!

  2. So, after my last post i played for 2 Weeks till now. I was able to made my 6 x 3 cabin 6 Fields high. It has now 3 Floors, every Floor 2 Fields high. I build ab Bridge to another little Builing with 2 Floors. There are my starter Pets. I tamed a level 20 Trike for Berry Gatherinng. Then i tamed 5 Dilo´s, cause i need the Eggs. Tamedd 3 Parasaurus. Some other player selled me a Lvl 220 Raptor Egg. So i breed him to have a little Meat Digger. But he is not very effective. Another player gifted me a nice Argy Level 260 with 500% Melee. Ideal for Starters. So i had a Berry and a Meat Gatherer i made a Deal for a pair of Featherlights and Glowtails. I Should get them the next week. This makes farming at night more effective. Every time Torch dropping is annoying at night. Pick and Drop again, hit the tree and pick up again -.- I build a nice little raft with a taming pen on it and a little cabin. From Jungle 1 to the Swamp it is not far. I found a 140 Male Kapro there. They are easy knockout with boomerang. tamed him with raw meat and he became 155 after taming. Then i tamed a 95 Beelze, but he was killed the very next day from Euryptids. 6 from them on 1 place at viking bay where you can farm the silica pearls. Now i use the Kapro and kill Euryptids 1 on 1. This got me enough black pearls for a motorboat. After a week of farming i was finally able to build the motorboat. I tried to tame a anky but i made a mistake. i made 17 kibble for him. but my hungry argy ate them cause i left them in a Trough. i hadnt build a smoke house or refrigitaor till then. So i could make another 8 Dilo kibble (dilos lay less eggs then every other Dino i have). I needed 2 hours to tame a level 55 ankylo i found behind the swamp at a little island. But it is a start. now i can use argy and my tribe mate to gather metall nodes. i had luck with the server again and a nice player gifted me a allo egg and an stego egg. Stego came out level 120. the Allo 220. i raisede both in my newest build. and i make the mistake and the ceiling was only 3 high. both Dinos stuck and i must demolished the complete ceiling. i must rebuild every ceiling in this building cause it is 12 fileds high now with a ceiling every 3 fields. i must make them every 4 fields. I like the Server, yesterday a player breeded Thylas and didnt like the colors. It was Orange Cyan. He gifted them to the players who come to him. I was there as fast as my Motorboat could travel. Now i´m haveing a nice 180 Thyla. I was on the way with my allo to gather meat. I Should have gone another way. On my way back to base i came along the Carnivous Cavern. Right next to the Entrance there is a little cave with no Ceiling. There i fell in the Cave. And a Rex from another Tribe is stuck there since i saw him 2 weeks ago. My little Allo cannot leave the entrance. I dont know if the Cave is to small at the Entrance or if it is the stuck Rex who stands there. But now i have no more a meat grinder. I Hope i have enough for the Thyla to be full grown. I Will talk to the player who gave me the Allo egg and buy 2 from him. I like Allosaurus. And this time i want play with Dinos who cannot pass a Stone Gate. So no more Rex or Bronto etc.

  3. After a better part of a week not being able to play because of work I got a day off and managed to get a bit done today. First off ,was off to the highlands with the taming raft to tame my self an allo so I had a carnivore better than a ptera. After a bit of bother pealing one allo ( a nice 130 female) off from its pack I managed to get it into the taming raft, down it, and tamed it using mutton which is thankfully common in the highlands and part of the reason I travelled to the highlands for the tame. After that it was back to base to deposit the allo back home, craft more narcotics and off again with the raft to tame a stego for kibble in order to make a future argent tame a bit easier. Managed to find a low level female and trap it and tame it. Now just need a male. Made a start and finished the bridge which connects the two hills comprising my base location together. Started marking out an area to build stables for all the dinos I have, which at the moment are just scattered about the base. Then off with the taming raft again, this time to the other end of the map to the desert to trap and tame a thorny dragon to make wood harvesting easier. After a scare with a bright magenta wild micro raptor, which I swear had developed powered flight when it kept up with my ptera half way out to sea during my escape, I trapped and tamed a nice level 95 male thorny. Then the long journey home and thankfully no rogue sarco this time when passing the swamp. After a bit of harvesting with the thorny and laying the stone foundations for the stables I decided to call it a night.

  4. Didnt get much yesterday. Got on and scouted for almost 2h looking for some nice tames. I was trying to bola a 189 wild wolf and stupidly i got myself killed. Also got my purple and blue kangaroo killed too :,( Ended up retaming another kangaroo, farming a bunch more sap, wood, sand and premaking more adobe for my new base. Also gathered a bunch for some.stone behemoth gates for new place. Still getting used to scorched. Im actually kind of liking the place. I just wish there was a bit of biome diversity or more ruined cities (like rag - besides colloseum) for some more RPesque spots.

  5. Not sure how I want to continue my log. It's become less story and more list which is boring. Part of that is work has been picking up so i haven't had as much time to really formulate my thoughts. The other part is some of the things I enjoy doing in Ark have been tedious and/or frustrating lately. I put in a lot of effort to my dino's but the people (not all, there are some real good traders) want to get them from me for next to nothing. I don't know. It has to be the player population of console (PS4 specifically) vs PC because I see stats I have go for more in egg price on PC then I sell my full grown's for, or attempt to sell my full grown's for. Lol. Right now the trade market is not working for me so it's back into the shadow's and hand outs to my friends/allies. I did do several raises this past weekend and walked away with a lot of cool stuff. I think my favorite is my first Argy weight mutation. I've hatched well over 500 eggs looking for a weight mutation and was fortunate to get twin males. 784 hatch weight, up from 768. This gives me only 2 mutations on my line so there is a lot of room for growth there. I'll use the 2 males to alternate breeding with the females which will reduce cool down timer too. I acquired a grown female Theri, or did I raise it?...I can't remember, from an ally that had 419.8 melee. I had better hp with 9.2k so I gave her that in return. I hatched a few eggs this week and got triplets in the purple body color and another with a green stripe all with the 9.2k hp, 419.8 melee. The new line. I also hatched about 32 Quetz eggs. Kept 3 females that were clean to add to the breeding pool. I got another weight mutation on the 1648 and it popped with pretty cool neon green wing colors but I decided it wasn't want I was looking for and let that one pass. I hatched a few vultures and got one with the 1125 hp and 378 melee. I named him Vulturex. I'm looking for a female next so I can get my allies some eggs. He's already put in work to help me out from a few dc's and when I get knocked off by raptor's on my next raise. A Carno. Ms. Swamp Thang. I got a couple eggs from an ally so I could raise my own swamp cave runner. It hatched 206 with 4200 hp, the other did not, and 319 melee. I like that health. I raised her and have pranced her around the preserve to gain some levels before taking her over to the island server. I can't seem to trade for a 100+ armor Theri or Rex bp so I plan on living in that cave this next weekend. This did give me a new breeding direction as I have started to knock out Carno's looking for higher melee and higher stam (she only had 1050). The first Carno I knocked out tamed out with 1530 stamina so I'll get around to breeding that in. When I'm not running the cave this weekend, I'll be hunting for higher melee. Finally mated some deer. This is gonna be a chore. 6 hour gestation and then 7 hour baby timer. I know I raise Quetzal's and Yuty's, and Theri's and Rex's. lol. My preconceived notion was that of an Anky though. I kept 2 females that pulled the high hp to add to my breeding pool. I bred and raised some new Abberant anky's. 439.8 hatch melee. Got a mating pair. This let me move some of my clean females and an guaranteed egg to my anky buddy so he can work on the next melee and the stud male to my trieb mate for breeding on his Abb server. The guy I got the stud male from just got 451 melee over the weekend too. I told my buddy I expect that and more by end of next week. lol. Finally I got some color combo's I had been looking for on my Yuty's and one I did not but found great. The magenta came from a weight mutation (up to 790 now)and it pulled the 10.3k hp, 2184 stamina, 331 melee. So I put it on the market, even though it's the only one and still raising, if it can net me a Theri or Rex BP but no hits. That's fine though because I'd like to try and breed that magenta crest/tail onto my lavender body. The other color combo's; Finally got the pink crest/tail on the bright yellow. I desperately need another stripe color though because it really messes with the pink. Kind of obscuring it. I also finally got the yellow crown on the blue body. Now I just need to pull in the dark blue limbs to that. I may throw some feelers out for the regular bright yellow and dark blue eggs. A couple people reached out to me about them. So breeding wise it was a very successful weekend. Other than the breeding I didn't do too much. I helped my tribe mate farm metal strcutures as he was rebuidling his abb base from essentially the ground up. I jumped to my anky buddy's server (I am in their tribe) and helped them raise their Giga's, Mammoth's, and run the swamp cave. Using that Carno made me realize I needed higher stamina on the Carno. They had 1350 and it still went down fairly fast. For anyone wondering about that cave. You want a good saddle on your Carno. If you can, 10k hp, 500+ melee. Wear only a gas mask and put a high melee (don't need to worry about hp) neutral vulture on your shoulder. The Vulture takes on the mosquito's while you can focus on the spiders, centipedes, leeches, megalania, and boa's with the Carno. An imprinted Carno is even better but really it depends on how many times you are running it. If it's a mad quick dash, well I haven't lost more than 2k hp from one loop so stamina and melee will probably be more important. If you are gonna spend some time, higher hp is needed as well. I rebuilt an area of my base with some metal structures I had been holding onto and redid my greenhouse too. Tamed a Phiomia, finally again months after the first one was killed, and increased veggie crops. If we're going to be raising Theri's we'll want access to mass veggie cakes for the fights. Overall there was some tedious times but i really liked when my tribe mate was over and we worked together, even just farming metal, crab/anky combo for the win. I enjoyed running the swamp cave a few times. We did run another Alpha Brood and Alpha Monkey to get our rag buddies some additional engrams unlocked. Last night we ran back to back Alpha Rag. Someone snuck into the second fight with us so I brought some Golem's to them. I did lose another Rex under my allies control's. So weird. Maybe I need to bump their hp up to 35k. I run with all 100+ saddles so they must be getting toasted by the Dragon early. My tank Rex's are fine. Last night after run 1 they were only down 2k and 3k. The one I was riding also got the Manticore in the 2nd fight. Tried to tell him, the Manticore, that it ain't no chump. lol So this weekend is a normal 2x event. A lot of people are going to be raising. I'll raise a little but am focusing on easier raises. Carno, if i can find good melee, Argy, Vulture, probably some Rex's with the new 14k, 461 melee line. I also have a friend throwing me a 472 egg which is very nice. I'll bypass Quetzal's and Yuty's this week. I will run the swamp cave in between feeding and imprints, and will come out of there with one of my saddle bp's. Until next week.
