Just keep holding on to it.

@Cedric@DollieWhen will this be on PC? Been 5 days now without seeing any change We've stocked up a lot of jerky but need to know if we can spend it or should keep on waiting.

@Ohma No problem, I almost made the same mistake myself. The underwater loot drops use the same loot table as the SE desert drops. The wiki has lists of what's in each beacon if you need to double check for a specific BP. @d1nk Unfortunately chainsaws are Scorched Earth engrams and it probably wouldn't help with the sheer quantity I need right now anyway. I have one theri but I mostly use it for fiber gathering, since these saddles also need a toooon of fiber. I'm glad I went with rexes for the bosses, I can never find any theris with decent stats. What I do have, however, is Heartbreaker, my Valentine's giga. It doesn't really matter how efficient he is at gathering hide when he's efficient at killing literally everything on the map, up to and including a marauding 145 alpha rex that was up the nearby river. So we spent some of the tail end of last night and most of today walking up and down the volcano river slaughtering everything on both sides. Once I gathered enough for a saddle we would return to base, build the saddle, cryo the newly equipped rex, empty his inv and then head back out again. Not that I really needed to keep much but I've been stocking jerky for some of the event stuff so cooking more meat wouldn't go amiss. In our many journeys across the map we also came across some very nice things. First, a high level doed notable for having 32 points in weight, which was my current high roll at the time. You bet I got one of my argents, grabbed the doed and brought it home to tame. Stood up with an impressive 47 points in weight, a full 15 above my previous high roll. Oh man I can't wait to work that into my line. Weight is so critical for utility dinos and I feel like I never find doeds with good weight so this is awesome. I know it seems kind of silly at the tail end of this map but as I continue playing using my own transfer rules I'll be able to bring the line with me and hopefully continue to improve it along the way. Second, we found a unicorn. No, literally. The last one I found was just its body ragdolling on carno island. This one was in one of the swampy borderland areas but we killed its attackers, then I went and got my argent again to carry it to the taming pen. It was calm by the time we dropped it in and I was able to tame it in complete safety. Crap level but it doesn't exactly matter for a literal trophy tame. So that's cool. I also spent some time underwater and got extremely lucky with both an alpha leed and an alpha tuso, giving me the final two apex drops I need for the Overseer and most importantly, the captain's hat skin. Found an underwater drop and got an asc tropeo saddle, woo lol. I can use that 6 maps from now, exciting. And I started building my staging platform in the volcano crater to make it easier to arrange my battle lines and gear prep, etc. All in all a very productive weekend. I'm far from done but significant progress has me feeling quite confident, honestly. I've got 9 saddles left to make, then transporting the army up to the volcano. I haven't turned on my replicator since I built it, waiting until I'm completely ready to craft everything I want in order to conserve element. Trying to figure out what I need for gear and scraping together the last few things. I need a good pump-action shotgun bp, a yuty saddle bp would be ideal. I have excellent fur armor already. I'm debating on if I should build 1 or 2 sets of Tek armor. I'll be doing a few more metal runs for ammo and all that too, I also ran sooo much metal this weekend and have enough for all the saddles if nothing else. I did briefly have to shut down for a thunderstorm and came back to find I was missing water texture which was a really weird experience. Got that fixed and decided to call it a day. I'll plan my course of action for the week with the expectation of finally, finally taking on the Overseer this coming weekend, probably Sunday. Not going to lie I'm pushing it a little more than I had planned in large part because I would really love to start Scorched Earth in time to maybe get some wyverns with event colors. Side note maybe I'm a little too nerdy but I keep a bullet journal just for gaming and it's 90% Ark notes lol. I'm legit considering doing a spread to plan this whole week out.

BIG SUMMER CRASH!!!!! YEAH!!!!

Wildcard has done another 21GB update I’m assuming it’s to fix the crashing on the official servers but it’s only made it worse I’m crashing even more now. It’s a joke honestly, I’m trying to imprint my gigas but it’s not going to good for ?????
