I couple months ago I had decided not to mess with the ocean again. I soon got tempted to go back and started exploring again. I kinda went on a taming spree. Got myself 2 basilos (1 high lvl). Also somehow got myself a 125 plesio. That was not easy. I ended up going around just swimming around it. I had a tek helmet, MC chitin shirt, JM flak pants, flippers, and ASC chitin gloves, so I had some good armor. While using a 200% damage MC crossbow, it didn't take long to go out. Sadly, my flippers broke midway while some sharks started eating me so I had to resort to riding my ichty while shooting it. Anyone who plays on xbox knows the pain of using a weapon and driving a creature at the same time. The creatures never go the direction you want them to when you're using a weapon. If I'm being dumb, pls tell me how to fix it. All is know is while using a weapon the left stick becomes the "steering wheel" and the "gas pedal". Back to the plesio now, Once it was finally down, I accidently hit it with another arrow :(. Once I got the the shore and got some prime from an innocent bronto, I started taming. It was at 100% effectiveness so I guess I didn't hit it! Got it tamed at 182, and really happy with its stats! Took it leveling and got some more levels in it.

Due to the server being offline again and too unstable when it is online, I guess I'll have to miss this day on (Official, Valguero). Instead today I'll first feed the argent and parasaur on my (Official, Extinction) side-base, and then try to hunt some presents on (Official, Crystal Isles) and maybe use that kibble (as I realized later, not even the right kind) that I transferred there for my griffin-taming attempts to get a ptera or two to try and get a griffin after all, the proper way, trap and all. Or maybe tame a nicely colored argent to send to Valguero once it's possible again. Or a new wyvern for my Extinction side-base. ... (Official, Crystal Isles) Tamed a ptera. Made darts. Made more narcotic. Went to tame a griffin. Trapped one. Tranqed. Started taming (mix of regular raw and prime). When it was 20% tamed, someone drew heirs out of their lair. No griffin, no wyvern, no gun. I'm not saying that I'm angry, but I do think that that person should reconsider chairs in favor of cacti and other prickly plants. ... (Official, Valguero) Server came back online and seems to be working well enough, so I made the rest of kibble I needed for my goals, made a cannon, cannonballs, took podded Shellara (paracer), after making sure she's still equipped with the platform saddle and not a normal one, took Snowy because like hell I'm taking Sapphire to such a dangerous situation, but an argent was necessary, and went to tame a rock (well, chalk) elemental. There were two, 130 and 140. I settled on 140. It wasn't easy, my aim is VERY bad, at some point I ran out of cannonballs and had to make more. And build a new cannon. And fetch an owl because elemental was nearly dead. But I did it! I knocked it out and now I'm taming it! Effectiveness is below 90% because you know. Cannonballs! And wild stats are kinda meh, the only high-ish is stamina. But still, that's a 140 elemental we're talking about, how cool is that? ... And as I was writing this, it finished taming. Level 199. Named it Granite. ... After bringing Granite into the base (and getting it a few levels on the way there, with first few being put into health until it reached 10000, and the rest going into melee, and also that stamina is awesome, can kill things by throwing boulders and still be able to punch things afterwards!), went to give Killer Sausage his last possible imprint, and would you believe that? Raptor Claus appeared from the point pretty close to my water pen, so I was able to get to a gift and grab it with no problem at all! It was an Asc 70-something doed saddle BP (kinda useless, since I don't keep doeds, but still cool I guess), some stone and wood building parts, some wooden spikes, and a cryopod (always happy to get more of those!). After getting the gift I finally imprinted Killer Sausage, put more meat into the trough, and logged off, this time without podding him, because he'll be done growing really soon. So, while the day's start wasn't great (no griffin gained, wyvern and a gun lost), the rest was pretty great (successful golem taming, final imprint, even though it's 93% instead of 100, the gift falling conveniently close, no disconnects or even very bad lags).

XB CI Server Placed my new tek genny and got my base wired. I'm not sold on the design yet and I'd like to remodel my base soon. Needs to be more functional and also I need to rip out the old wiring, update some of the furnishings and add new drapes and such yknow. Went for a few quick metal runs while I popped out megatherium babies from my 300 event tame. Chased raptor clause a few times and got some decent loot. Crazy dura blueprints! Did a few paste runs while I was out. Decided I needed to get a better outpost in the desert, downsize my scorched earth area one to just a safe taming area and place a public tek transmitter at my desert dunes outpost for easy taming / gigas / mantis / death worms. Spent the next few hours doing metal runs and building metal pieces. Loaded up the wyvern and flew off. Landed a short pit stop at my scorched base by griffin trench and spotted a beautiful 260 event green/ grey griffin. Got it in the trap quickly but noticed it was bloody. Thank raptor Jesus for snow owls. Got it tamed while I added a tek dino gate to my griffin trap for a better experience. Downsized my scorched base and loaded everything to my wyvern and took off past the wyvern hive to my dunes turrets. Threw down a decent metal 4x5 with electricity, a shiny new heavy turret and a side area for the transmitter. Threw down a tek bridge to the dunes for easy access. Took my megatherium I imprinted earlier and went on a killing spree. Kept eating rare flowers to draw out any potential death worms. Managed to get 3 kills before accidently aggroing a giga and almost getting everyone killed. Loaded everything back up and flew home with my loot. When I got home I bred up some owl eggs to hatch later and sorted out some tames. When I get on tomorrow morning I'm going to find some more OSD or veins on extinction. Make it a day. Our group needs a giga saddle bp bad. We only have extinction and crystal isles and thus far noone has found one. Ill keep hitting desert titan cave since my base is there. Other than that need to throw some materials to the other server beforehand so I can craft some teleports soon. Just need the actual element now, minus some crystal ill get.

I have not posted in a few days so I will try to just hit the high points... Gave up on finding the perfect baryonyx. Found a 75 male and tamed it up to a 112. Took it through the chitin cave for some levles and podded it the past two days for extra passive levels. Now it is 151 and, I think, ready for upper south cave. Might give it go later today. The two baby rexes, argy, and thyla all finished maturing. The megatheriums are still going. 95% last I looked. Wow, they take forever. I was hoping to use them today for swamp cave but I don't think I will have time now. I was contacted by an old tribe mate on a different server that wanted to give me his dinos. Said he has another character on CI and wants to just play with that for awhile. Said he can't transfer his dinos over to CI so he gave them to me. Anyway. The family grew and I now have a giga. Cool. I tried to offer my new thyla (lvl 276) as a trade for a good female therizino. One person didn't need a thyla but needed poly for a current project. He is raising a group of high level therizinos now and we worked out a deal. I spent most of yesterday running up the mountain for obsidian and making poly. So I should have a breeding female in a few days. I am excited to get the line started. I have spent an embarrassing amount of time chasing santa the past couple days. LMFAO... I typically get 1-3 gifts every time I go (if the tek peeps of the server don't all pull out their skiffs). I have some nice things now like a complete set of ascendant ghillie, a few ascendant crossbows, and a good collection of chibis. HOWEVER, I don't really understand a couple things. First, are chibis permanent or is there a time limit? Is there a good strategy for using them... cuz I never used them before. And second, the crystal I get back from the gacha clause... what do I do with it? Never had crystal before either.

we fiddled on official for abit, then jumped onto our unofficial server and despite RaptorClause only wanting to drop 2 presents a night, we managed to put together an nice little cozy christmas scene:

This is amazing, and this whole month of December has been amazing. Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, Be kind to one another... well except Rockwell... he's a bit of a scrooge.

(Official, Valguero) Filled troughs, unpodded Phobos, Killer Sausage, and the dimorphs. Finished hatching yesterday's tek rex eggs (no mutations). Tried to go on an alpha dino hunt, but found no alpha dinos. But at least I got tons of hide out of it. Imprinted dimorphs and named them, one is now Tiny and the other is Shriek. And now waiting for the game to update. ... After the update: tried to go after a present, but there's a new tribe being Grinches about it. So, no present. Did a metal run. Traded away one of my crystal wyverns. Also, got a scare because all my pods, despite being functional, show as "raptors" when in fridge (normal in my own inventory), and since I went to grab the wyvern AFTER telling that I have one... Yeah, good thing they were actually working, or things would be awkward. And I don't want things to be awkward when trading, I don't trade often so it would feel MUCH worse than it really is. But, pods turned out to be functional, so it was all fine in the end. Saw a dark red spino. I love dark red spinos, so tried to tame, He got himself killed on some trikes. Flied around looking if there are any other dark red spinos. Nope. Returned to the base, checked if dinos 'm raising have enough food, went afk to make some food for myself, when returned, turned out server crashed. ... Server back. Made kibble. Went to look for dark red spino. Found spino. Tranqed spino. Taming now. ... Did it HAVE to crash when I'm taming? Gonna have to retranq, waste more narcotics, more kibble. Argh. ... And does it HAVE to start up so slowly? It can go fast, but now when I NEED it to go fast it's NOT going fast! ... Logged back on. Spino finished taming fine on his own. Pity I missed the waking up moment, but at least I didn't have to start over! ... Decided that since Phobos is growing so well, I can send Diablo to Extinction today instead of waiting for Phobos to grow up. So I made a saddle, put it on Diablo, podded him, put extra meat into troughs to make sure Phobos and Killer Sausage will be definitely okay, uploaded Diablo and now in the process of logging off Valguero to log onto Extinction with my side character and retrieve Diablo. (Official, Extinction) Diablo: retrieved. I'm: in the Forest Cave. Game: disconnected. Dammit. Diablo: can be considered lost (no means of retrieval... Though, maybe enforcer?). Scarlet (the wyvern): lost (tried to use her as a means of retrieval) ... Enforcer worked until an uneven part of wall caused it to fall. Into a pack of carnos. Diablo officially lost. I'll grab Horus (argent), whom I left by the cave entrance and head home. Lessons learned: stick to rexes, they're easy to replace, never underestimate a microraptor (that's why I was separated from Diablo in the first place), enforcers can climb in the caves, but in the caves even walls are evil. ... Returned home with Horus. Fed the dinos (now consisting of Horus and Pomegranate the parasaur). Now gonna go to (Official, Valguero), pod Killer Sausage and Phobos, and go to sleep.
