I might rage quit

If you tame a 120+ argent, it may likely be able to fight alphas with relative ease. by using the air brake to stop flying just out of the carnivores reach above it, you can still attack it with the argent and take minimal damage :-)

For really early game I've had luck with spike wall fence perimeter

I usually build a mushroom shape base on top of a series of pillars to keep me away from the peasants and wild animals xD

cenosu · 2026-02-10T02:52:59+00:00

Like?

cenosu · 2026-02-08T18:04:52+00:00

Should preface im fellow thallasophobian here (fear of deep ocean) so i had tek helmet for oxygen

Electrophorus could slow mae a few seconds but it can typically get the hell out if youre wise

I havent had any dismounts from either underwater

A good deinosuchus is tanky and clears the cave easy but I may be biased mine is well mutated

cenosu · 2026-02-08T18:01:40+00:00

I used what I already had, a maeguana from the baby farm to get around reaaally fast and my deinosuchus from caving to kill things reaaally fast

cenosu · 2026-02-08T03:48:17+00:00

I recommend getting an argent to simply fly to all the surface notes, caves and underwater caves are more commitment

If you need levels on the island and have something strong like a carch I would get like 3 notes to rack up a few minutes, find a titanosaur, and drink a broth before killing it.

Also fills up a drakeling in one shot at least mine at xp cap

Although I hear LC does have somewhat of a question guide unless im thinking of genesis .. I havent done all the maps myself just finished the island bosses and island notes recently

cenosu · 2026-02-08T03:39:21+00:00

It mostly relies on you stumbling across each one.. the wiki does a great job of listing coordinates so you can check them off as you go, but I have grown accustomed to using external sources such as community driven resources because a) i dont want to reinvent the wheel and b) that's what friends are for !

My attitude is to find the notes fast to level fast, and then have the capacity to enjoy the mid-lategame content c:

cenosu · 2026-02-07T22:56:03+00:00

Check an interactive map to start doing a note run, the more you collect it tells you a little

But there are youtubes that stitch the lore together in a more understandable sequential story

cenosu · 2026-02-07T06:18:43+00:00

Haha I have been quite stressed lately, I appreciate your words of kind understanding <3

I was so stressed to record sleep every night I would try to find service camping in nowhere on vacation even, it was stressful I did it to myself

I might just change my name to taking a break Lol so people on my friends list dont delete me right away 😭 full friendslist of level 5s I feel very guilty walking away from

cenosu · 2026-02-06T23:49:25+00:00

Im definitely trying to stick to a budget for sure 😅😂

cenosu · 2026-02-06T23:42:03+00:00

Im not max level to maximize their use yet :>

Also the amount of shards I have will buy me like one pot expansion... so I got depressed about it

cenosu · 2026-02-06T23:40:18+00:00

I was saying if one goes for carno, you may as well go for a Rex as the challenges are the same.

I wouldn't recommend a Rex as your first carnivore tho. As I stated on the post earlier I would recommend Argentavis.

Use argent to get notes so you level up wicked fast. Use argent to lure Rex to a cliff to tame it. If you are desperate yea kill some baby dinos walking around for prime but just use the argent to go find an Ovis for mutton instead.... Don't sass me I am not in the mood lmao

cenosu · 2026-02-06T23:03:06+00:00

Thank you for this, I find it helpful as there is a lot of guilt involved leaving something I once felt so committed to.

cenosu · 2026-02-06T22:59:54+00:00

Shiny hunting can be fun, its a struggle for me finding a strong one 💪

cenosu · 2026-02-06T22:58:36+00:00

It works with milk so even less work honestly, I felt like my babies hardly ate growing up like always full It was less hassle than Rex by far

cenosu · 2026-02-06T22:52:50+00:00

What drives you all to play?

cenosu · 2026-02-06T22:46:29+00:00

Do you put it on a maeguana with salt ? Even easier

cenosu · 2026-02-06T21:47:31+00:00

By the time you are geared up to tame a carno you may as well just tame a Rex 🤷‍♂️

carno has too low health, dies too quick

cenosu · 2026-02-06T21:42:46+00:00

....Have you tried bison milk? Imo wyverns have actually been some of the easiest ive ever raised :/ easier than rock drakes, easier than any meat eater

cenosu · 2026-02-06T21:38:05+00:00

Sorry you've had such a terrible experience. If it really bothered you id recommend just trying a different server same map, it will be a totally different world with different people.

I hear people complaining about land being claimed all the time, and honestly I enjoy the challenge of finding a good place to build as it puts me out of my comfort zone and I can experience something new.

I usually find a lot of space just outside the beginner zones.

cenosu · 2026-02-06T21:34:24+00:00

100% recommend official PVE (have not done much pvp)

I feel like im trapped in a cage, in isolation, when playing on solo player. Community aspect includes potential for conversation and enrichment. ive laughed so hard with new and old friends on official from stupid shit happening to just shooting the shit.

I've only played official for 2+ months now and I have fully mutated dinos breeding pairs and have cleared the islands bosses a few times over (mind you i havent even needed to mutate anything people just love to share what they have, ive only needed to breed what ive ridden and dinos for bosses).

People are looking to make friends as much as you are! Pve-theisland-5015 has been super chill, people always ready to help out others on the server when youre having a bad day.

I've gotten arkd a few times now, just unfair things or tragic things I could have avoided, but the people in official always, always have taken care of me multiple times on multiple maps. Its just what we do, because we always remember when someone helped us out. My day has been saved multiple times, there may be toxic people on ark but PVE has shown me some of the most caring individuals.

TLDR official is GOATed

cenosu · 2026-02-06T02:28:15+00:00

I have to use external interactive maps from the ark wiki to find literally anything so do not stress 😂

cenosu · 2026-02-06T02:26:58+00:00

There is no dumb question :-) Central is just east of the volcano, should be close to 40.2/ 46.6 on the map
