  1. Okay then-time to flex my writing muscles, since I can't find my guide on mutations I did a while ago, so here we go-get ready for an essay (actually, never mind, I found it): Mutagen (just to sort of add on) is a very, very difficult to get substance, just because it's so rare. In genesis 2, I'm pretty sure you can get mutagel in the space biome when the drops are white (or orange, not sure). You have to craft mutagel into mutagen with 100 or 1000 mutagel. You can then use mutagen to boost your creatures with some amount (depending on both the creature and the level I think). What this does is add 5 stat points into each stat (not sure which ones-check the wiki for that). It also gives the creature 30 levels, but that is null and void for mutations/breeding. Those 5 stat points only really make a difference on the clean original parents, because if you use it on a bred creature, the 5 stat points will not pass down to it's offspring. Clean unbred parents will pass those stats down to their offspring. Mutation Stacking Mutation stacking is very simple. Basically just get a bunch of good wild stats-depending on what creature you're mutating, you'll want to look for ~40-50 points (talking about difficulty 5.0-6.0). By the way, for flyers, look for ~50 points-they don't get points into movement speed, so all the other points will be higher. I'll use gigas as an example here. So the only stats that really matter with gigas are health and melee (mainly melee-gigas don't get much health from points into health). You'll want the highest melee stat you can find-with gigas, because they're such amazing fighters, you want to look for 50 points into melee, and 40+ points into health. No other stats matter. Now, get those two stats into at least one perfect female and one perfect male. Also, while taming, look for the highest levels you can find (of course). Also try to find a balance of males and females, since you'll want to breed them. Now, using those two perfect gigas to create a bunch more-create some form of multi-female and single male breeding setup (lucky guy). At this point, just breed and breed and breed (keep the extras-you'll probably want to use those to level your gigas). Now, as you're breeding, look for two level increases. For example, let's say the perfect gigas are level 450 (as an example). Your mutated baby gigas should be lvl 452. That indicates a mutation. Now check the stats. If melee or health is increased, then keep the baby. Also, you'll want multiple different setups for each of your mutations. For example, if you want melee and health, then make one separate stack for melee, and one for health. Now just do that over and over again.Preferably get mutations on male gigas-females do not really matter in terms of mutations. Keep swapping out the single male with a mutated one.Also-about the paternal/maternal thing. You can use either side-it doesn't matter. But, 20 mutations is sort of the soft limit on each side. Once you hit 20, it become considerably harder to get mutations on that side. Tip: Throw out your babies into their breeding positions as they're babies-they'll grow into each other, and save lots of space (and look really weird as they do it). Levels: So, let's talk about the level cap/point cap. There is a cap on points. Once you pass that point, that stat resets. So let's say you've got a super powerful, 100k health mosa. It's at max, and you mutate one more time. And then, disaster strikes-it's health resets to 3600 (base health). That is max stat. I'm pretty sure you can level over that, but you cannot mutate over it. And that's it! Tell me if I missed anything, but I think that's my full thing on mutations and breeding! Good luck breeding, and happy ARKing!
  2. Huh. I thought it worked like if you get 20/20, mutations get progressively more difficult, but not impossible. I'm pretty sure it's why Syntac never goes above 20 mutations on one stat.
  3. Yeap! Carchars get insane. A level 108, NOT perfect tamed, did 200 damage at first. Max blood rage, that jumped to nearly 900. Crazy (by the way, I actually haven't been able to get on for a while, because show crewing and all, so this is actually Syntac's testing-again, go check him out). Plus, they are fast. It's absolutely terrifying to see that charging at you with the speed of a freaking raptor.
  4. Excellent names for such powerful creatures.. Sorry about the previous post-I did not know you had already done that! By the way, check out Raasclark's video on perfect taming a Carchar. If not, I'll explain succinctly-tame high level diplos, and get lots of mutations and levels into health (my suggestion is just get a high level tamed and levelled, unless you want to go for carchar mutations-then go for mutations into health on the diplos). That seems to be what matters. You'll need ~14 to tame a 150 when it's in friend mode, and ~4 babies or so I think to get it into friend mode (tested on official rates, I'm pretty sure). Should come out perfect tamed unless something else screws it up. Good luck taming, and happy ARKing!
  5. What you've gotta do is kill everything that you don't want there, leave render, and come back (also, just a tip-Carchars have the capability to be the strongest creatures in ARK. Just putting that out there :). I personally am a big fan. They're fast, powerful, look amazing...what's not to like?
  6. Okay then. Honestly, the only time I've really been #ARKed is when ARK crashed a couple times (not in a row). I do play on console though, so...
  7. Now that's my kind of map. But then I play on console.
  8. Dang. Yeah, gigas are insane no matter the mutations. Just a wild tame could probably take on some bosses. Mutated ones could 100% take on the broodmother (if you could bring them into boss arenas) and maybe the thicc monkey (have you seen that behind? chonk 100).
  9. Huh. Cool. That's a nice contrast between the gray and the cyan :). If you've got stat mutations, you could try testing it on the little val broodmother. Be careful though-if the fight's going badly, just peace-those things can do a pretty decent amount of damage, and I think I've seen one with 2 million+ health (this was on difficulty 6).
  10. Nice combo. Super bright cyan or slightly dull?
  11. Either region would look really nice if you got the right combo colors. Very cool.
  12. Ooh! Which region? Cyan could look really nice on the back with a darker blue or red on the underbelly.
  13. Pteras are actually one of the most used tames on pve, I'd say. They're the early game flyer when you don't have an argy, and they're actually pretty fast. Stam and weight are lacking, but their sheer speed more than makes up for it. Good luck, and happy ARKing!
  14. The giga is in dire, dire need of a tlc. The model's outdated, it's mechanics are outdated, etc. One of my ideas is that the giga could grab creatures smaller than a carno and toss them up in the air, catch them, and eat them whole, killing them instantly and healing. A model refresh could definitely add some new life into the giga. Maybe some other new abilities. This is just a template for an idea, so very rough. Add your suggestions in the comments below! Good luck, and happy ARKing!
  15. Me reading the crunch realizing my artwork didn't make it
  16. Y'know, looking back on this, I could have made the bottom jaw thicker, but...guess it's too late for that 😕.
  17. ... You could have said the dinghy box powered the flux capacitor via a polyethylene tubing birdcage system, and it would have made more sense to me. (I've only really played pve-never pvp) XD
  18. Enjoy (this is just sort of a quick (ish) sketch on plain notebook paper-might do a more finished one later. *note* I have taken some artistic licenses, so it isn't exactly the acro down to every detail. :)
  19. The trinity of irritation-icthyornis, pegos, and microraptors.
  20. Yes! The unspoken creed of all ARK players-blow the heads off any icthyornis, pegos, or microraptors you find.
  21. Really? Huh. Okay then. Sorry I misunderstood...
  22. Y'know, I was curious-could you post a screenshot of your prize allos? I'm very interested to see what kind of damage/health they have. Allos are pretty cool-a bit like heavily upgraded raptors, with the pack boost and all.
  23. Fair, fair. But then, you could have shown your dominance by forcing it to submit to your will .
