Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration and Ragnarok Had one of those nights where not much happened lol. Hatched up a few more megalos for the pack and bred up a few ravagers from the pair d1nk gave me. Raised them up and imprinted where I could. I love the tek transmitter I have set up. Need some charcoal for shotgun ammo on Aberation and I am not really set up for it, so I transfered some across from Ragnarok. So convient. Ran around on the drake for a bit. Found a 135 alpha karkinos. So I ran back to base hoped on the spino and assembled the megalo squad. Went out and took it out. Would have been so much faster if the megalos used their primary attack more often. Got the element shards and the claw of it. Decided to go for a quick reconnaissance on the surface now I had a drake. Never been on the surface before. Didnt last 5 minutes. Spotted a red drop and took on two reaper kings. They packed a punch and took me down to half health before I bailed. Sat on a spire and watched as more and more reapers gathered below me. So I waited for them to lose aggro and made a leap for the exit. Man I need to get my hands on a nice drake saddle bp.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Ragnarok and Aberration Started off by installing my tek transmitter into my main base on Ragnarok. Loaded up the second transmitter and 5 extra AC units into the transmitter to transfer over to Aberration. Turns out I skimped out when I made the incubator on Aberration and only installed 20 units and its not enough to hatch a drake egg so I needed more. Logged on to Aberration and took out the spino to the public transmitter and download everything. Ran back to base and came across an alpha karkinos close by my base. Ran back to grab the megalo pack and went back to the crab. Took out the crab without much issue and collected the element shards it dropped. Installed the extra ac units into the incubator and also the transmitter next to my main building. Went on a quick nameless venom run so I could hatch up my drake eggs, not that I probably needed the venom with the maturation rates but its nice to get it anyway. Went back to base and hatched up the 175 and 60 eggs I collected from the drake trench. Had my fingers crossed for twins or triplets from the 175 but both eggs hatched singles. Fully imprinted both of them not that its hard with drakes. At the same time I hatched up 7 more megalos to joing the megalo pack. Had mixed success with imprinting. Took out the 175 drake for a quick spin when it fully matured. Its good to finally get a rock drake again. Love them to bits

Where ? You mean the wyverns flying around the forrest titan ? Or did i miss something?

Curious to know more about the wyverns flying around in the first photo.

Oh good spot hadnt noticed that. Either that or could be another titan ?

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Today was the today. Finally decided it was time to go into the red zone and into the drake trench. I havent done the first stage of drake egg hunting of going down on foot solo before (done it solo once I had drakes) so I was nervous. I got on my spino and assembled Red Team (My squad of 7 megalos) and started down into the red zone. My goodness it was stressful. Half of it might of been due to the textures on my spino refusing to stay rendered at all had issues occasionally with the terrain too. Bassically kept waiting for the game to crash but thankfully it never did. The journey down was rather uneventful. Had to keep a tight leash on the megalos, especially down some of the narrow cliff paths to avoid losing them over the edge into goodness knows where. Also ended up keeping the pack on passive using the ridden spino to clear the path, especially when dealing with seekers as I was going to end up losing the entire pack over the edge, only whistling them into action when needed and when it was safe to do so. Made it down to the drake trench taking out any drakes that I came across, it would help later on. Made it to the location where the three nests that are accessible without going into the main trench, 2 of which had an egg. Climb picked my way to the first nest and nabbed the egg (level 60) and scrambled back to my spino. My word I forgot how intense the first wave of angry drakes were, that was alot of them. The spino was brought down to half health but the megalo squad preformed sublimely, shredding the hoard. Decided it was safe enough to go for the second egg and got up to the nest. Hit the jackpot with a 175 egg and made it back to the spino and had the squad deal with the few drakes left that aggroed. Thankfully all the eggs were fresh and they didnt insta spoil. Made my way back up through the red and blue zone. On the way out of blue zone I took on a level 10 alpha basilisk I had spotted on the way down as it ran across the path infront of me. Shredded it and got the element shards that alphas drop as they do on this server cluster. Made it back to base. Miraculously all 7 megalos and the spino made it back alive, no idea how I didnt lose a single megalo due to pathing issues. By which point the textures just gave up, not sure what Ark/xbox was playing at tonight Cant wait to hatch up the drake eggs. Next plan is to hatch up the drake eggs and breed up more megalos for the drake squad. Going to take a spino and a larger red team back down into the red zone and this time leave the squad in the main trench. The plan being to use a drake to grab the eggs and have the squad deal with all the angry drakes.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration and Ragnarok Not much happened today. Started off on Aberration and took the megalo pack out for a spin to level them up before a trip onto the red zone. Loved mauling everything, just wish they didnt primarily use the grab attack but even then they shredded everything, they seem to main attack regularly enough Hunted down and shredded a 145 basilisk without a hitch. Just gutted I killed a 145 but never mind. Then hoped onto ragnarok to complete a wee trade with @d1nk. Then crafted the second tek transmitter. Cant wait to install them both.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration and Ragnarok. Started of by trading with @d1nk. Got access to his megalo saddle bp and crafted up a bunch. Also got some ravagers and even got round to taming a crab for me too. In return I traded megalo eggs with the good stats (unless I mucked up somehow) and a female shinehorn to with his male. Might have been more but cant remeber Was then across to Ragnarok with d1nk to craft up a tek transmitter using his glorious tek replicator and craft up a bunch of element from the shards I had gathered from killling alphas. By which point I was half zombified so I wasnt really sure what was going on but we got there in the end. 'No Saltire we're building a transmitter not a teleporter...' *Sigh* Been a while since I stayed up very late playing Ark, try not to do that to much these days, not like back when I played official, silly times. Hello bed my friend... Anyway thanks again d1nk for the trade, help and advice. Much appreciated. Good to finally mic up.

Definitely. I can guarantee the new hp wuth the good melee too. Can get you ad many eggs as you like Wonderful. We're blue zone buddies now ?

@d1nk I was just thinking. Anychance I could borrow the megalo saddle bp you have? Would save me alot of time.

'I understood that reference'

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Ragnarok and Aberration Started of on Ragnarok. Went hunting gold and red drops in an attempt to get a half decent megalosaurus saddle bp for Aberration, but no luck. Then ended up on Aberration breeding up the megalos. Threw down a batch of eggs. Finally got the female I needed with the good melee and hp stats, so that one takes over the role of breedong female. Got lucky with the rest and had a good mixture of males and females with the good stats so I kept those 7 too, culling the 3 that didnt make the cut. Raised and imprinted the 7 for my drake trench squad. Got all but two up to 88% imprinting, the two wanted rock drake egg and featherlight kibble and I ran out of the time to get the rest to 100%. Thankfully I had transfered some appropriate kibble from Ragnarok for some kibble requests. Quiet nice to have the 88%ers sitting at 10k health. Cant wait to saddle them all up with a decent saddle, level them up and get into the trench to get some drake eggs. Still got a bit of prep to do though. Popped a few more shinehorns because I was bored. Got another white and black one which was great. Also got a mutated blue socks one too but no good stats but I kept it all tge same.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Started off the night breeding up the shinehorns again. Honestly cant get enough of shinehorns, they are that cute. Bred up and kept a few and cullled some which I didnt want to keep. Was attempting to get a decent coloured male with the charge capacity mutation I got last night. Eventually popped a pair of gorgeous twin males with the mutation. Pure white body, black stripes and golden horns. So now I have a breeding male and now my main lightpet ! Sir Lightsalot is finally a thing ! Also threw down some of the 2nd gen megalo eggs I saved up in an attempt to get a breeding pair of megalos with the good hp and melee stats. Got a good high level male with all the stats, but the Ark Gods refused to hatch a female with the stats, all the good ones were male. Culled the rest appart from 3 others, two of which I kept because they hatched out mutated magenta but not with the stats, but kept them because I might as well start raising some megalos for my drake trench squad. Then went to my metal out post to do a bit of farming. Decided that I might as well install the industrial forge I had saved up after all so I replaced the regular forges. Raised the roof to accomodate the new forge. Only thing now is it is a bit cramped in the build so I might need to build an extension but thats a problem for another day.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Saddled up the 4 megalosaurus and loaded them up and the spino with the structures needed to build my metal outpost in the blue zone. Made the journey to my chosen location without to much of a problem. Seemed safe enough so I put down the building and then the perimeter wall to keep various nastys out. Installed the basic forges and storages boxes and move the megas in to the safety of the build. Tamed a random low level shinehorn which was hanging around my build and its now taken up residence at the outpost. On the way out of the blue zone I found a 145 anky, so I rushed back to base picked up taming supplies and jumped on the crab. Went back and picked up the anky (its friend didnt seem to concerned that I had abducted its mate) and got it into the nearest taming pen I had, knocked it out and kibbled it up. Took out a few nastys such as 3 rock drakes which were hanging a bit to close for comfort but I really was pushing this mid level crab to the limit with what it could take. Was eyeing up a high level rock drake and megalo when BANG disconect (love my internet at times). Logged back on to find the megalo mauling my face off. Just managed to get a neutral whistle off in time as I had whistled passive to tame the anky, before I died. Respawned, grabbed a spare bulbdog and got on my spino and naked rushed back to the blue zone. The megalo was giving my crab a right beating but I made it in time to save the crab and the othwr bulbdog. At this point the anky tamed up. Then I took the crab and carried the anky and the spare bulbdog to the new metal outpost. Just as I renedered in the base my bulbdog alerted me to a max level creatures. To my joy a 150 male shinehorn was prancing around outside my perimeter wall. Thankfully I had z seeds on me so I tamed it up. Left the two bulbdogs and the anky at their new home. Hoped back on my crab with my new shinehorn and went back my base picking up my spino on the way back. Bred the new 150 male shinehorn with the 130 I already had. Love shinehorns deffinatly my favourite lightpet, but my word they are annoying to breed, apparantly a 1x1 is too big a pen for breeding. Also they all seem to be powered by sugary or caffeine filled drinks, charging around at light speed. Bred up two and the second kid got a charge capacity mutation so I was happy with that. While I waited for them to mature, I took the murder murder flock (i.e my dimorph flock) for a spin with the spino. They seemed to do very well, I just got a bit nervous whenever I targetd a dire bear. Got them all back to base safely and called it a night.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Decided it was about time to make a move to get down a metal farming outpost in the blue zone, so I started prepping for the build. Started off by transfering across some behomoth gates from Ragnarok, didnt fancy crafting up multiple gates with my current set up on Ab, the thatch would have been daunting. Crafted the rest of the structures on Abberation. Nearly lost my iguanodon when farming thatch when I missed (or rather I didnt) the beehive sitting behind a mushroom tree. Thankfully I was right next to base so managed to make it to a spino and whistle the iguanodon passive to get it away just in the nick of time, it was so low on health lol. Hatched up 4 of the spare megalo eggs I had in the fridges, these are going to be the guard dogs for the metal outpost. Also bred some more bulbdogs for the light to keep the nameless away. Started stockpiling the next gen of megalo eggs to try and get the melee and hp stats I have into a breeding pair, didnt hatch any though, thats a problem for another day. While I waited the final 20 mins on the megas maturation I went on the hunt for ravagers on the crab, but had trouble finding any at all never mind a high level. Found one pack but all low levels. Hopefully next time I get on I can make a move on the metal outpost.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Went on the hunt in the blue zone. No luck with any megas or shinehorns. Went back to base. Decided to transfer across some high level dimorph eggs from Ragnarok. Hatched up the lot, kept 3 aside for breeding more eggs if need be and the other 10 will be my new dimorph attack squad. Want to see if I can use them to help me out in the glowtail cave to get some glowtails and even get to the artifact. Also bred up a few bulbdogs so I had a few disposable ones. Quickly built up a small dino barn to keep the dimorphs in as well as anything else I can fit in there. Went back out to the blue zone. Still scouting out potential metal outposts but I appear to be a bit picky. Found a few likely contenders but still deciding on ot. On the way out of the blue zone I finally find a 135 female shinehorn, so I tamed it up and took it back to base. Back into the blue zone for more hunting. Wiped out all the shinehorns and megas I could find. Just as I gave up hope, again just before leaving the blue zone I stumbled into a 140 male mega. So I quickly got down the pitfall trap I had been carrying on the spino and lured the mega into the trap, knocked it out and waited for it to tame up with kibble. Took it back to base. Got lucky with the health with 8659.3 which is higher than I have with my current breeding pair. Unfortunatly the melee is only 296 but I guess I cant get lucky with all the stats lol. Now all I need to do is breed my new male with the female I have and get the good hp with the good melee into a new breeding pair. But thats for another night.

Nah mine was a 125 in blue.

Cant remeber the health think yours is higher. D1nk had a higher hp stat than me. The melee with mine is 325% if I remember rightly.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Started off the night by taking out the spino back to the blue zone to look for high level megas and shinehorns. Love exploring the blue zone, love the atmosphere and ambiance. Also the battle music here is my absoulte favourite. No luck again, all low levels for both species. The trip was cut short when I dashboarded for the first time ever on this server. Logged back in to find that I had been killed along with my bulbdog Sir Bulbsalot. RIP. At this point I hooked up with @d1nk to do a bit of megalosaur breeding. I had the high level male and he had the female, so we got a bunch of eggs and hatched a few (quite a few accidentally). Now we both have a breeding pair of megas and some spare eggs. Cant wait to breed up a good sized pack to go and wreck the drake trench with to start getting drake eggs with. Also d1nk gifted me a few bulbdogs to get me back down to the blue zone to rescue my spino. Also bred me up one which popped out mutated yellow, so now its red/yellow. Need to name it iron man ( or similiar) or McDonalds to suit the colour combo. Operation SOS (Save Our Spino) was iniatiated. I ran down with another spino to where I died to rescue my body bag and my poor spino. Thankfully I managed to retreive both and got back to base. Decided that I had been neglecting my base build. So I installed ramps to allow access to the upper levels from the valley floor. I can now start putting in extra buildings or have more dino storage. Also d1nk, unridden megas can primary attack when unridden. Shredded everything on the way back to base with the breeding pair. Cant wait to get some properly leveled and imprinted. With the mate boost and no levels they were hiting for 300 a shot lol. Does seem to bit hit or miss however lol

I would be up for that. Should be on tonight. Was planning on a wee expedition into the blue zone for high level megas anyway.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Started of by going out on the crab once again to look for some high level ravagers with no luck at all. All really low levels. Did a bit of resource gathering and crafted up some pitfall traps to install on certain places. Decided it was about time to go exploring in the blue zone on my spino and I crafted up a hazard suit just for protection against the shrooms. Was out looking for high level megalosauruses and shinehorn as well as scouting out a potential place to install a metal mining outpost. Unfortunately I forgot the Z seeds but didnt find any high level shinehorns anyway. Killed of a bunch of low level megas and eventually found a 125 males. Its a bit lower than I would like but its a good start to the mega taming, so I put down a trap close by the mega. Kiting the thing all the way to the trap was a little bit scary and really did get the blood pumping as I did it on foot. It got a few good hits on me and I was lucky its didnt try a grab attack as it would have just shredded me and my bulbdog. Got it in the trap and downed it. Tamed it up with kibble, yet it still took ages even with the boosted rates. Towed it back to base and called it a night.

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Just a quick one tonight, too tired after a long day. Went out on a hunt for iguanodon again, this time I took out the crab. Iguanodon after iguanodon and all I could find was low levels. Just as I was about to give up I find a level 115, so I scoop it up and carry it back to base before knocking it out and taming it. Went out looking for ravagers. Love taking out entire packs with the karkinos. One in each claw and batter them a few times and move on to the next one. Found a lonely 145 but before I could get to it, it picked a fight with a dire bear and lost. Eventually found a 120 male. I just casually strolled up to it and walked off with it in the crabs claws, its pack mates didnt seem to care that I came along and just walked off with their pack leader. Got it to a safe place by my base and knocked it out and tamed it.

Oh yeah. Should have done that with the iguanodon tame lol. Might have to try it with a few ravagers. Ah that might explain a lot. Had trouble in the past with that. I must automatically use the right claw being that I am right handed lol

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Went on the hunt for a high level female bulbdog or a decent iguanodon again. No luck at all with the iguanodons, all lower than 40. As for the bulbdogs I had more luck. Had a hiccup with a 135 female where my spino hit it and it ran into a pack of raptors... Eventually found a 130 female chilling out in a creavas near the waterfalls near the glowtail cave so I tamed it up. Gave up on the hunt for the iguanodon. Finally put down a pitfal trap down just outside my base. Means I can start taming things I can aggro much more easily. I dont need to worry about spinos as much now as I have a few but it would be great to start taming sone ravagers though !

Xbox - Nitrado Unofficial Server - Aberration Started off by logging into a nice surprise. Looks like @d1nkleft me a present during the night in the form of a karkinos. Thanks again Am surpsised I didnt have a heart attack when I opened my front door to find a karkinos out side it. Then went out looking for an iguanodon as I really need a creature to help me gather thatch more efficiently. All low levels but I eventually found a mid level 90 and knocked it out and tamed it. Took it back to base. Correction it never made it to base. Stummbled into a baslisk and pack of ravagers. The iguanodon didnt last 5 seconds despite my best efforts to try and whistle it away and protect it with my spino lol. Fuming I killed the basilisk and the ravagers with my spino and went on the hunt again for another iguanodon. No luck what so ever. Level 5, 10, 10, 20, 10, I eventually gave up. To used to the nice level distribution on Ragnarok lol. Thankfully during the time I was looking for iguanadons I was keeping an eye out for red gems in role rat holes so when I got back to base I crafted up a gas collector and installed it on the gas vein in my base. I hatched up a few aberant spino eggs @d1nk gave to me. Kept 7 and culled a couple to gain a few levels, leaving some eggs as a reserve. Imprinted what I could. The first round went great with them all asking for cuddles and walks. It was round 2 of imprinting where it went pear shaped and they started asking for kibble. 3 actually had the cheak to ask for rock drake kibble baah. Managed to get a nice golden orange one up to 67% before it asked for kibble. Now I need to decide what to do with them. A few will be combat mounts for roaming into the blue and red zones, while some of them shall be more utility based, thinking of pumping weight for hauling some weight. Went on the hunt for a high level female bulbdog to go with my male. Found a 135 male but I tamed that anyway and continued the search. Killed every bulbdog that moved. Then bang, a disconnect. Logged back on to find the server rolled back about 5 maybe 10 minutes. Killed the first two bulbdogs I saw as I killed them earlier and knew they were low levels. I then saw a bulbdog being chased by a pulminoscorpius, which I did not remeber seeing when I was last in that area, so I jumped off the spino and took out the scorpion with my shotgun. SCORE ! a 140 female bulbdog, well wasnt I lucky with that roll back taking me back to that 140 ..... at which point the bulbdog flopped over unconscious from the scorpion torpor and its torpor value wasnt for droping. Eventually I had to put the poor beast out of its misery Decided Ark had had enough with me for tonight so I called it a night.
