Tips from an ARK Player:
- Pick the right tool for the right job, some are better than others at certain jobs:
- Pickaxes gathers metal, flint, thatch and meat.
- Hatchets gathers Stone, Wood, Hide.
- Sickles gathers lots of fibre from bushes, but no berries.
- When it rains, you automatically drink and refill your water skins.
- Hunt different animals for different drops. Bigger animals drop more meat, Animals with tougher skin drop Keratin. Furry animals drop fur for fur armour.
- Higher levelled animals hit harder and take more hits but give more XP.
- Don't waste your levels in skills that friends already have, diversify and conquer the skills tree.
- Always have a bed nearby, there's nothing worse than a full reset because your boat was under-furnished..
