Today wasn't bad, but a bit disappointing. I killed three alpha raptors, one of which was near my base and cost me one of the eight dilos I brought over from my old beach shack long ago. I lost a lot of dilos back then, but I thought now that I was past the rough life of hunting on foot with a pack, they'd be safe for the rest of my ark gameplay. They were all named after different adjectives for smart. Poor Witty...
I looked for rexes, sloths, and thylacoleos. The last one isn't necessary for boss beating, but it will help running the Carno Island cave for loot. Not to mention what a great mount they'll be when make it to Scorched. Also checked out baryonyx, a good one of those could help me tame a basi, which I'll inevitably need. Found all of them, but at low levels. Many a thyla was killed by dire bears...
I did find a 130 dire bear, 130 parasaur, 145 bigfoot, and I lied, I did find a good rex. Not important though, since I didn't have it as trapped as I thought, it attacked while I shot at it, my new argentavis attacked, we both escaped, and then we never found it again. I did make a ton of cryopods, and an artifact pedestal, the later of which isn't that important, but it looks cool. I only tried it with hunter, but I also have clever and massive.
