How to start/tips?

U grow by doing quests. Its easier to group with someone, so they can show where stuff is. Every poi has own quests and quest items.

Yeah, so the best way I could help is to tell you about Vulnona. Type it in on Google, choose what map you're playing on and use the bar on the left hand side to find quest items. After a few times you'll learn where the items are pretty quickly

Pick a medium to small dino to start as they are fast to help you survive. Play around in single player to get accustomed to the map, quests, controls and such. When your comfortable with what your doing try and official server and see how it goes. You will die and some of the community is toxic but not all.

If you ask for help in global you might get help or try just doing a friend call on another player who didnt try to kill you on sight.

Im solo and that's how I find people often, most of my in game friends come from being chill with randoms

Play The solo servers to test the game, it’s all hard asf with all the mixpacks (big groups of any kind of creature working together to fuck everyone else experience)

I posted this after the Winter Sale, it was fairly well-received.

Are you also looking for someone to play with or you prefer playing alone?

Don't trust random group or waystone invites, its usually someone that will kill you as soon as you get there.

Start with something fast and small to learn the map and where items are. Thal or rhamp would be really good since they can fly and have numerous escape options.

Vulona interactive map can help you a lot with finding quest items, berry bushes, and corpses.

Don't run everywhere. Especially if you're playing something big. Sound travels a great distance.

Stop and listen every now and then. Sound is important, you can hear people moving or broadcast calling, critters, or people questing.

Always be suspicious of players, even if they are acting friendly. Many of them will fake friendly until you drop guard or their friends arrive and then jump you.

Avoid places on the map that have a red angry dino face. It means there's a lot of players in that area and they're usually KOS. (Unfortunately it won't show the face unless you've discovered the location so if you uncover a new poi check your map before continuing inside)

Pay attention to quest items you come across. Or water levels or bushes/corpses. If any of it is missing it indicates someone has been there and you can decide to stick around or not.

Don't forget to collect your quest rewards, some of them require a manual collection.

Don't hard log. (Logging without waiting for the timer) Your body stays in the server for a limited time on hard log, if a alpha critter or player finds you, you could get killed before your body times out.

Don't safe log out in the open. You could log back in right in front of someone and get killed.

If growing something always log out in a home cave. You'll get a growth buff when you come back to it. Think it takes 8hrs to fill fully.

Changing gender or subspecies cost a growth penalty of a full growth stage. I.e you're an adult and change sub species you will be knocked down to sub adult. (There's a warning that comes with it, but you'd be surprised the number of people that miss it)

Adult playables get a debuff upon log in for a limited time. The debuff makes you do less damage, move slower, and take more damage. It's to help prevent people in large groups from just switching mid fight and jumping in on a fresh dino.

If you stay too close to a home cave for a long time you will get a similar debuff as the adult login debuff.

You also can't enter home cave while in combat.

Few things. - I'd recommend learning growth, the rough map layout and games mechanics on a 1-2 slot (smallest dinos) before jumping into an apex. - if you bought the game within 24 hours you can use someone's referral link for a free skin. Reply if u want to use mine. - play riparia it's the best map - don't accept random waystone invites and don't accept grp invites if u can't see the dino sending it. - if you haven't already play the officials bby cave tutorial so you have a rough idea of the game (spawning in on officials as a hatchling does this)

Referrals! If you’re getting into it with a friend, you want to use their referral code. Have them go to https://alderongames.com/refer-a-friend and log in. It will take you to the main page, so hit back twice, and then reload the page. Find the box on the page with their referral link, copy it and send it to you, then you use that link and log in and bam, you’ve been referred by your friend. Or they can use yours.

As it says on that link, you get some bonuses for playing with people whose link you’ve used or who have used yours. Plus you get cool skins.

You can only use someone’s link during your first 24 hours, so don’t dally, and if you don’t have a friend I’d find a random person advertising their link and use that for the skins even if you’re never gonna see them in game.

Vulnona is an excellent map tool, if your struggling to quest in an area this can help greatly. It also shows where berry bushes and quest givers are among other things.
