IT'S FINALLY DECEMBER!!! It's finally December! Who's excited for Genesis? What are you most excited for? I for one am excited for the Ferox and the space whale (Astrocetus). I'm also excited for the new skins that they're gonna give to some animals according to their biomes. Even though the tapejara (my fav animal in the game) kinda looks like a butterfly. (sorry if this is an over-asked question, I usually spend all my time on the mobile forum) But yeah, have a nice day and have fun playing Ark!

My Birds Fly Straight in a Line As you can see in the picture, my three birds aligned themselves perfectly in a line while flying from the swamp cave to my volcano base! Just thought I could share this because it looks cool! And if you haven't noticed him, there's also my ugly araneo on the quetzal's claws! I don't think my quetzal was having a good time though cause my ptera kept shoving it's beak into it's bottom But yeah, pretty nice picture in my opinion! Have a nice day and have fun playing Ark!

Has Anyone Else Noticed This Weird Equus Saddle Glitch So yeah, my questions is simple, has anyone noticed that whenever you mount a horse with a saddle and then take the saddle off while on the horse you're character stays floating on top of the horse? And whenever you mount a horse without a saddle and then put the saddle on the horse while mounting it your character is glitched inside of the saddle and his legs kinda disappear inside of it? Just curious to know if anybody else has already tested or seen this, or if I'm the only one.

Ovis and Eerie Doedicurus So hey Wardrum! @WarDrumBecca @WarDrumJordan @WarDrumKeys Do you guys have any plans on adding the ovis to mobile? Would be really great to have a better alternate other than prime meat to tame carnivores whenever you don't have kibble! Especially since prime meat spoils ridiculously fast. Also, is the doedicurus going to get an eerie variant? The new Doedicurus Vastus boss gave me some hope!

Another Quetzal With the Switching Seats Tapejara Method! Second Quetzal I knock out using my awesome tapejara! And this one was level 145 (5 levels away from max!) I really love this method! Only missed around 6 shots. I have to say, I like this better than using the griffin, for one, you don't have to be controlling the tapejara as It chases the Quetzal by itself. And with the griffin (not that it's too hard but still) you have to be steering it and flying and aiming at the same time. The only annoying part could be when you switch seats trying to maintain the tapy from flying up or down. But once you've got the hang of it it's really easy! I'm not gonna explain on how I did it again on this post as I have already done that on this one... But I will ask....Have you tryed this method? And if you have what would you rate it out of 10? I would definetly rate it a 10/10 And also I wanted to say thank you to Wardrum for working hard on their game and constantly updating it! Really happy with the new dungeon and that we finally got TROODONS!!! I am excited to see what new creatures you guys will add in the future! And thanks for adding the switching seats on a tapejara! Gives the tapy more worth now! Anyways, thanks guys for reading, have a nice day and have fun playing Ark!

Taming a Quetzal With a Tapejara - ARK Mobile So, about 2 days ago I tried out the recently new quetzal taming method with a tapejara on my medium difficulty solo player server in Ark mobile. It worked perfectly! I really loved it, it is way better than using the grappling to the argy method and now I don't have to wait until I can finally earn the respect of a griffin. The reason for this being.... With the argy method, the first thing I had to worry about was that I was positioned right in front of the quetzal so right when I finally managed to grapple to the argy (which was another hassle of its own) I can whistle the argy to attack the quetzal. Then when I finally got the argy aggroed on the quetzal I hit it with a trank dart. The thing is, my argy was usually really slow, and the quetzal was so fast compared to it that it kept flying so far away that my argy kept losing aggro on it. The only reason that I actually managed to tame one was because the quetzal kept turning to flee into my direction (and because he was low level so the few darts I managed to hit actually managed to knock it down). And then comes the part where you shoot it down. It was extremely hard to actually hit the quetzal because of the fact that my character kept swinging around from side to side, making it difficult to aim. Now I may just suck at aiming (Hey, I'm not Typical Gamer), but I took exactly 40 darts to tame the quetzal (which was only level 2) in the wiki it said a level 1 would take around 8 to knock down. The funny thing was, when I finally knocked it down, I was left with exactly 8 darts, meaning I used up 32. Oof, that's means I missed around 26 darts. Now that's a lot. But at the time, that was the best way to tame quetzal without using a griffin or reviving it at a platform and trapping it. But now we have the option of switching seats on the tapejara. At first every time I tried it the tapejara kept trying to land, but then I figured out that you have to have it on following you in order for it to stay in the air. So now all I have to do is find a quetzal (which is the hardest part). I found a level 90 at the red obelisk (should do for now until I can find one that's 145 and above). So I fly up to the quetzal with my tapy, quickly change to the first seat and whistle target at the quetzal, then the fun begins. My tapy actually can keep up with the quetzal, which is good, it actually flew about the same speed as it. The flight was so smooth that I actually only missed 4 shots, and those where due to the quetzal making sudden turns. And the fact that I had an ascendant rifle with 1005 dps (not the best but decent) helped a lot. I wished I had recorded it, but saddly I didn't. I really love this new method! It's a good thing I actually decided to try it out. Plus you get the tapejara saddle before the argy so that's also awesome! The quetzal didn't fall on the best spot, it landed on the swamp. But I guess I just got lucky because there was nothing around and there where no attacks, so I managed to pull a 100% taming effectiveness with a 10x soothing balm and some kibble. I would of posted a picture but apparently the files to big But thanks Wardrum for this new awesome method I really love it! So what do you guys think of this new method? Have you tried it out? Have a nice day and have fun playing Ark!

Pursuits, Their Details, And the Rewards: ARK Mobile So hey wassup guys! Pursuits are amazing! They are fun and some have great rewards including weapons, saddles, amber, and XP! They are also a great way to spend the time when waiting on your baby animal's next imprint or when you really have nothing to do. So I decided to post this in order for people who would like to know or are just curious on what each pursuit is about and what rewards they give. I am going to set a link that goes to the wiki because there are just to many for me to put in pictures here. In the future I might spend the time to actually type them out on another post, but for now this should do.... https://ark.gamepedia.com/Pursuits_(Mobile) So yeah! Hope you find this post helpful! I wish you a happy day and have fun playing Ark!

Artifact Tributing Loot Tables: ARK Mobile So hey wassup guys! Lately I have actively been going into the caves so I can tribute artifacts and get good blueprints and soothing balms on my new solo player medium difficulty server! I am doing this for those of you who don't know this or really have no clue of what loot you might get. Or even if you just want a picture or an image to see. As many of you might know, each artifact from the different caves has a different loot table. So when you tribute an artifact it will randomly select 3-5 things from the loot table and give them to you. This loot includes a variety of things like really good weapon and armor blueprints and also even things like amber, potent dust, a revival platform, saddles, soothing balms (10x), and even grenades! Each artifact has a different loot table depending on how difficult the cave you got it from was. Here is a picture of all the artifacts and the caves where you get them from and what loot you can get from them...

Everything in primitive+ in normal ark survival evolved mode It would be great if you could add primitive plus items and buildings to the normal evolved mode because I really want to put shelves into my base but I cant because I'm on evolved mode and I'm on console so I cant put s+ items either

What are Dumb Things That You Have Done in Ark? So hey wassup guys! I have played Ark for at least a year now and I still keep messing up. Obviously nobody's perfect but I somehow just keep doing the same mess ups all over again . To keep this post short I'm just gonna say the most recent mess up that I had (which was yeterday). So basically it was like midnight and I was still up with my iPad playing Ark (I faked sleep when my mom came to my room so she wouldn't catch me playing at such a late hour) and just suddenly decided to tame a doedec since I'm moving locations so I can have enough stone to build my base. So I prepared everything (except kibble cause I still don't have a greenhouse to grow vegetables) including mejoberries, narcotics, and trank arrows. I also decided to buy a minor soothing balm just because doedecs take forever to tame with mejos and because it was alreday late and I wanted to go to sleep. So I went out, spent about 30 minutes looking for a good level one, and finally came across a level 28 (I play on an easy server where max wild animal level is 30). So I tranked it and started feeding it mejoberries. Everything was going fine until I noticed I had forgot to do something important....I DIDN'T APPLY THE SOOTHING BALM!!! So immediatley I applied it but by the time it had gone to 93.7% effectiveness and lost 4 levels If I had applied it since the beginning it would had already been tamed (MSB gives 3x taming and it was around 1/3 of the way tamed) and it wouldn't had lost any levels. And the worst case of all I was going to use him for mutations. But yeah, that's only 1 in a million storys that I have. If you have any dumb stuff that you did to share than you can comment below! So have fun playing Ark!

Ark Should Seriously Add the New Kibble System to Mobile I strongly believe this for many reasons, but Ark should seriously add the new (well, the newest. Cause it ain't so new anymore) kibble system to Ark mobile. A big reason is the taming slots. Just in case you didn't know on a PvP server if your playing without tribemates (my case) you can only have 12 tames.....ARE YOU FRICKIN KIDDING ME?!???!? So basically you cannot afford to be taming a bunch of different animals that you don't even want just in order to get the one your aiming (lets say a quetzal) for because by the time you finally get there you already covered at least half of your taming slots. It's true that you can just kill them after you're done with them, but what if the quetzal gets killed while you're out there with it or another tribe decides to raid you while your offline (which is extravagantly annoying and infuriating) and kills it? Then you'll have to tame all those other animals all over again just so you can get their eggs and turn them into kibble. Plus, by the time you have a quetzal, you'll probably already have other stuff too like an anky, an argy, a doedec, possibly a griffin, a ptera, a rex, a tapejara (my fav animal in the game), a beaver/mammoth, and some more. Just right there you already have more than half of your taming slots occupied. So whenever you're late game you'll most likely have to sacrifice some of you're animals in order to tame that really cool giga that you found, or you'll just have to suck it up, take the 7 to 10 hours it takes to tame a high level creature out there with prime meat only to have it tamed at around 70% taming effectiveness. With the new kibble system, you can just have the ptera that is providing you eggs for simple kibble, or if you for some reason need basic kibble just tame a super expandable low level dodo so it gives you its eggs, if you need regular kibble then your anky will be supplying you the eggs. This will for sure help preserve taming slots for mobile players and help a little bit of less pressure when you see that you almost hit your max on animals. Now a lot of you might tell me, well then just join a tribe so your taming slots increase.......personally, I love playing solo on PvP servers for the reason that it's more challenging and you won't have anyone messing up with your stuff while your offline. Plus, solo raiding is extremely fun =D But yeah, what do you guys think? Should Ark add the new system or not? Also, if there is a reason why Ark hasn't added it will you guys please let me know? Anyways, have a great day and have fun playing Ark!

What's Your Experience With the Dungeons? I have been playing Ark mobile for quite some time and one of the reasons I haven't quitted or stopped is because of the challenge of the dungeons and the fact that they have such cool variants of animals otherwise known as eerie creatures. You can tame those by the way. And then there's the boss fight. Always pretty exiting! But I still to current state haven't gotten to tame the Noctis . The first time i went into the dungeons was the one in the snowy mountain and i was level 96 and had full ascendant armor along with weapons and ammo, had a bunch of soups, healing brews, extra sets of armor (of course), energy brews, and yeah. Basically all of the stuff i thought i might need. I knew nothing about the dungeons at the time other than it was like a maze with fight rooms once in a while and variants of normal creatures that where rainbow themed (eerie creatures). I didn't even know there was a boss at the end XD. So i went right in, found my map had changed, and took a few steps into the first corridor immediatley to get spiked by a trap....oof. Didn't die, but my armor took a bit of damage. So basically i got used to looking for pressure plates in the floor for traps. I almost got squashed by wall that closed and opened several times. Learned that there where chests here and there with random loot and each gave me about +1 minute in my time. And that's when i noticed that there was a time limit and kinda freaked out since i was going with such cautiousness that i moved pretty slow. So i sped up a bit. Met e few colorful (earie) creatures. All of them where passive (pteras, procoptodons, snails, dung beetles) Whenever i went into the first fight room i got startled by the song, all the exit ways where blocked, and i got swarmed by a bunch of gigantic killer dodos.....terryfieng. So yeah, i easily defeated them with my amazing ascendant pump shotgun . Then i think i had to face daedons, yep....they seriously dealed damage to my armor. THEY WHERE SO FAST!!! I think i also faced ants, dilos, and a few more that i can't remember. Oh wait....I also faced titanoboas. I had to take so much stimulants that i literally emptied my canteens after that fight. I kept looting chests that usually gave terrible loot, i didn't find any tek stuff And then i stumbled into a room where u could access the boss. So my next thought.....wait there's a BROODMOTHER IN MOBILE??!? I had heard that mobile didn't have boss fights like on other platforms so i was really surprised. So when i accessed it i found out that there was no broodmother, instead there was a huge white monkey with anger problems that really liked chugging huge boulders at innoccent survivors that might or might not have shot a few metal arrows in their face. I soon regretted having left my rocket launcher back at my base. Oh, and i was also on my second set of armor and had used more than 100 medic brews by the time. I ended up killing the monkey by shotgunning him on the buttocks and then got pummeled by ten thousand mesopithecus and mor gigantopithecus. Made easy work of them with my shotgun. I was disappointed when i saw into the huge dead monkey's inventory and found nothing in there. I expected to see something cool or rare and maybe even tek, but nothing. I hadn't gotten good loot or no tek stuff. So i just exited the dungeon with nothing good and a broken set of armor and almost no amo. So then i decided to search this up on youtube to see if everyone got the same rotten luck as i did. And EVERY SINGLE PERSON CAME OUT WITH AT LEAST ONE TEK BLUEPRINT. I was extremely pissed off and decided it was just pure luck. Plus, those dudes actually checked every chest. I didn't.....lol. So yeah, i could've played it better by actually searching every chest and if i had noticed a door that was right besides me in the beginning room. I remeber finding a key and not knowing what it was for. Now i know that it was for that room at the beginning, and that's where people found tek stuff.....i slapped myself for the rest of the day. Also, something that i didn't know was that you could tame the eerie creatures by taking their implants and reviving them and tame them. Another reason to slap myself, especially since they looked so cool and met a level 300 ptera. Basically i have entered and defeated the huge monkey quite a few times now, especially since now i got the hang of it. Also another goal i have is to tame the noctis, but i never get it . I always get the huge monkey dude. I actually check every chest (well, at least the vast majority of them) and go to every single room possible. I tamed a few eeries but stopped when i ran out of amber and didn't feel like spending money on more. Ive also found a complete set of tek armor and a tek riffle. So what is ur experience with the dungeons? Have fun playing Ark!

My Game Keeps Crashing So hey wassup guys, as you have read in the title, my game keeps crashing. Sure I know it's a frequent problem with mobile games and stuff and especially with a game like Ark. But I'm pretty sure that it crashing once every 5 minutes isn't how it's supposed to go. I can easily tolerate Ark crashing once every 30 minutes or so. But every 5 minutes? Definetley not. There's times that right when i go in 30 seconds later it crashes again. I have already had these problem before so I watched a few videos about this and apparently the solution was to do something like a hard reset or something like that (don't exactly remember how it's called). So I tried it and it actually worked for some time! But then after about 2 weeks my game started crashing frequently again =(. I tried doing the hard reset thing again but it doesn't seem to work. It kinda extended the periods of times between crashes but it was still annoying. And now it went to crashing every 2-5 minutes. It is extremely annoying, I hate it, and I want it to get fixed, but I don't know how. If anyone knows can you please let me know? I have an apple iPad. And if your request for me is to just stop playing the game my answer is a big fat NO! I love Ark and I will never quit on it. So if you're here to tell me that than don't even bother commenting and just head to the next topic. Here's some information about my iPad... Software Version: 12.4.1 Model Name: iPad (6th Generation)

Which Dino is Your Favorite in Ark So guys, there is so many dinosaurs in Ark and my personal favorite is the Tapejara just for the reason that they look cool, are building gods, can fly in any direction, and are flyers. So what is your favorite animal?

Okay Guys so these are my favorite animals to tame in Ark based on UTILITY Hey guys, Since I dont have anything to do right now i just thought it would be a cool idea to share the top 10 animals that I PERSONALLY THINK are the best when it comes to utility. And yes they're in order. These animals are based from the map Ragnarok. So here you go..... 1. Argentavis - This bird is amazing when it comes to transportation of materials because they have extremely good weight and have good stamina so you can fly for a good period of time before stopping. They are also pretty good when it comes to defending itself because it can do pretty decent melee. They can also carry a great variety amount of animals making them good for taming and transporting animals. The only drawback with these majestic bird is that they are slow so I wouldn't suggest this guy when it comes to scouting or escaping if your base is getting raided. 2. Ankylosaurus - We all know, or at least should, that metal is a really important resource in Ark. And the best way to harvest it is the Ankylosaurus. They specifically gather tons of metal per hit and now the only thing you have to do is transport and smelt it. And they are decent at gathering berries too. Their drawback would be that they get encumbered rather quickly and are painfully slow. So you'll most likely want to have a spare argy or quetzal so you can move it around and back to base when you're done harvesting. 3. Doedicurus - Besides the Rock Elemental, this guy is a stone harvesting god. And im putting this guy before the Rock Elemental for the reason that you get the saddle at a low level (level 34) and they have pretty decent weight. That is really good especially when youre an early to mid player and really need resources for your stone base. They also have a really fun roll thing that makes him go faster but does drain stamina. 4. Mammoth/Beaver - The kings at wood gathering. I tied this 2 because of the reason that they both are amazing at gathering wood but their only difference is size. If you don't have much space or like to keep a low profile on a PvP world than the beaver is the duder for you. But if you have a large space and don't mind spending a really long time taming something just for wood than the mammoth fits you. The thing with the beaver is that they take quite a few narcotics to tame so if you come unprepared than don't expect a beaver on your team. Also mammoths have far way more weight but are slower. 5. Rock Elemental - This guy is especially good in pvp for high level tribes because they are extremely good soakers against turrets and they easily demolish stone! Theyre basically war mounts and thats all id really use them for. But they are pretty good at it. They are also pretty good at harvesting stone and a few other stuff and extremely good weight and obviously a lot of health. They are pretty vulnerable to fall damage though so i wouldn't suggest running of cliffs or anything like that. 6. Pteranodon - This early game mount is included in the list just because of the fact that they are really fast and have a barrel attack that deals tons of damage and makes them go even faster. You can use this guy to fly across the map in a short amount of time and are pretty good to use as scouting mounts because of their speed and stealth. And because of the fact that they're so easy to tame and they're saddle isn't hard to make people use them to gather wyvern eggs. They're only drawback is that they're weight kinda sucks so you'll have to level that up quite a bit. 7. Quetzal - This guy are hard and can be a pain in the ass when it comes to taming them if you don't have the right flying mounts (griffin, tapejara with someone on passenger seat) or are a solo player. But if you finally get it then you'll see that your hard work payed off. They got extremely good weight, health, and pretty decent stamina. They are also capable of grabbing large animals such as mammoths making this guy one of the best at transporting animals. You can also get a platform saddle for him and make a mobile base or a war base with a bunch of turrets. The drawback with this guys is that they are painfully slow and don't really have high melee. 8. Mantis - I put this guys all the way to number 7 because of the way u need to tame, which is passive. And when taming I think they'll only take kibble and deathworm horns. And since praying mantis are so vicious youll either need to trap it or wear bug repellent and a ghillie suit. But when you get it it can be super useful because of the reason that you can equip weapons on its hands (pincers? Arms?) and gather anything. If you want wood just equip it with a hatchet. If you want flint or metal just equip it with a pickaxe. 9. Tyrannosaurus Rex - Theres no other better dinosaur than the T-rex when it comes to battling in boss fights. They also got pretty high melee damage and you can easily defend your base against other players and their tames if you have a high level pack of these guys. They are also pretty good at harvesting meat. 10. Therizinosaur - Some of you guys might get mad that i put this guy all the way to tenth place. But personally, it think he belongs here for the reason that he is incredibly time consuming to tame and that he's weight SUCKS. They are awesome wood, berry gatherers but they get encumbered so quickly and its annoying. The fact that they can break through stone makes them great at raiding though. And i guess you could take it to boss fights although i don't find that very convenient as there's the T-rex which is easier to tame and has more melee. So there you have it guys. Please don't hate on me, like i said this is my PERSONAL list. I'll be happy to see what your order is though and wether you approve of mine or wether you would tweak some things. But yeah, have a wonderful day and have fun playing Ark! =D

I personally think that Scorched Earth is the best because of the variety of different dinosaurs and it stays on the path of the story somewhat. The reason why I dislike the other expansions is that they really go above and beyond with the story(i.e bad)
