Pro Tip: Magmasaurs can eat stone, it refills at least 10 times the amount of food as meat does, it wont usually eat it on its own so you should force feed it. It also eats crystal, but i have found that stone is better and faster to get, Plus there is no cooldown to feeding it stone

No Mantis clicking its mandible in my base. 4:47 Honestly, the Anglerfish is fine on most maps, but if you have the option, just take your fine butt to the pink biome of Crystal Isles (NE-ish) and you will drown in silica pearls in no time. This biome is absolutely ridiculous about pearls, you can't spit anywhere without it landing on nodes. Regardless of your rates, you are guaranteed a bountiful harvest (I've heard it's even easier with a whip, but I don't even bother). Plus it's nicer to look at than an Uglyfish. 5:49 Liar !

You can just walk in the ice queen cave on rag and kill one of the lvl1 worms in the entrance for a horn. Usually I bring a good pump, but tried it with a prim just to see the difficultly it was pretty easy. Just take Fur, and flak with medbrews and food. Then after you have it go to the mantis spawn. Make a 1by1 with the walls going up by 3, no ceiling. Best if made out of stone then a wooden ramp going up to the top. You can run it or bring a pt and lure the mantis up the ramp into the 1by1. Then simply go out of render distance comeback and instant tame it with your horn.

About gathering Stone with Doedicurus - it's good to know that they move/gather much faster underwater (but you need to find stones in water first) and that you can just carry them with for example Argentavis, fly over stones and they'll gather it automatically! This speeds up collecting stone significantly.

Good starter tame for Ragnarok since wild carrots grow where they spawn so you can easily start at level 10. As for other maps I recommend holding off until level 26 which is still beginner level. Not too hard to level too if you have explorer notes and craft up plenty of narcotics. This level you unlock medium crop plots so I recommend getting fertilizer before this investing in multiple compost bins or if you are able to tame a Dung Beetle early. You could use poop if you are in a pinch and just grow carrots in multiple plots to get as many as you can quickly. I don't recommend taming them with berries. It takes forever and more can go wrong unless you are in a very safe or controlled area. It also doesn't give them great taming effectiveness. So one map it is truly a beginner tame and the other map you have to have a small bit of knowledge to not waste your time and effort. Especially on the Island where Equus isn't so common of a spawn.

Now that Lost World makes magmasaur eggs a simple run inside a volcano (sounds bloody hard, but it's not, really), and they can now be raised on sulfur rather than ambergris, a magmasaur can replace a lot of other entries on this list. They can carry and gather rock like an anky, crystal like a dual-wielding mantis, and could eat both for breakfast, while also gathering metal, forging it, and spitting it as death balls at any objections. Edit: they also gather wood like crazy, too

Your contents goated 🐐, keep this up and you got big things ahead (:

dude you included the frog from the stream. Thank you!

Dunkleosteus! Will provide *all* the oil and opens up the ocean by being the best mount for taming Tusos. Get your feet wet, guys. The best loot drops (on the Island) are in underwater caves (by far). Especially now since the Liopleurodon buff lasts 6h (yes) and you don't have to carry it with you for the buff to stick. Mantis aren't that difficult of a tame - just use full Ghillie and BUG SPRAY. They won't notice you, leaving only all the other nastys to worry about. I collect my silica pearls with an angler fish in the western cave on the Island - pretty safe spot and plenty pearls. My go-to mount for wood is a specialized Therizino, doesn't even have to be bred for weight. Tapejara - ideal for taming your first Quetz together with a tribe mate. After that you can use the cage-on-a-quetz method to tame more Quetzals. Last but not bees: Beehives - super easy tames if you have a Bear (Quetz is even better, but that's late game). Get a couple of those and honey won't be a problem anymore. A Therizino can provide all the rare flowers you need to maintain your hives. Anky and Doedic are early game tames imo.

I would recommend to tame a therizinosaurus. They gather meat, hide, thatch, wood, fiber, and berries fairly efficiently. I ALWAYS have a theri around because it's SO useful when you have to collect one of those resources and have your jack of all trades dino.

For organic polymer you can use a thyla, dire bear pelagornis, saber and the chainsaw.

The magmasaur is actually the greatest thing that happened for me. It can collect thatch, wood, stone, crystal, obsidian, gems obviously metal and maybe other things. Made my anky, roll rat and doed obsolete

I usually use the argentavis to collect crystal. in itself it doesn't, but it has a 50% weight reduction for crystal, so I just ride with it to some snowy mountain side, extract it with my pickaxe and carry 2-3-4 100x stacks at the time

just an advice, sillica pearles also spawn on beach shores, they spawn a lot on herbivor island.

A little tip for when you are harvesting stone with a doedicurus. They have an auto-gathering function that allows you to hold them with a flier and they will automatically collect stone from rocks you fly over so it makes gathering large amounts of stone much much quicker. The only thing is that they stop after reaching a certain percentage of their total weight, I believe it's 50% but I've never done any tests to find out for sure, either way I just dump all of their stat points into weight and then fly around while carrying it with my Argy.

@pterafier

3 жыл бұрын

50% is correct

I know it’s a bit late but if you unselect the palm tree icon in the top right on the engram page it unlocks all the engrams for all the maps

Megachelon taps karkininos for 3k chitin each. Also mags get the most crystal. Btw love your videos!

Using a moschops levelled in organic polymer gathering in combination with kairaku breeding is in my opinion the best way to gather organic polymer.

Thanks dude I really need. Obsidian

It's so much easier to farm Trilobites with an Angler because It spawns a lot in shallow waters free chitin and black pearls too (Also recommend getting a stack mod very helpful for saving space)

quick pro-tip about the wild casteroides: aggro one, and trap it in a stone trap with a metal door.... and leave it the f alone. go away for a bit and come back. after a while, when you come back, you'll find yourself a nice shiny new beaver dam to raid for tons of cementing paste and wood, pearls and sometimes rare mushrooms and flowers over time. raid it, and rinse and repeat as desired. you can go in grab the stuff and run out the door, and they're too chunky to get out of it. just make sure it's at least 2 walls high. i'd make it three just in case when they come out of stasis and they end up right on top of the dam and it happens to be close to said wall. I found this out completely by accident while playing offline. not sure i'd try it on a pvp server.. chances are people would just kill or tame the damn thing to troll you.

Thrumbnail straight to the point

you can also feed mantis with the rhino horns (you need more of them but they are much easier to get)

Another polymer method is harvesting penguin babies with the pelagornis, you can get like 2k if you have a farm of them going

This series is so useful. It would be great if you could redo the Handbook. The game has changed quite a bit in the last 2 years.

I use a rock gollem to harvest stone and wood very good ^^

For metal, element dust, oil and electronics its easer to make a tek parasuar farm. so a bunch of tek parasours will be stacked and make eggs that drop down to a place with ac and a wolf or therizino on aggressive so when they spawn out the egg they can emedeatly be killed and harvested.

For soft poly mid game they usually just kill it with wywern oor mana, but iff you do best farm you farm poli on abe with bear or on crystal islands with doed hitting beehives

Me after watching one of these survival handbook eps: *Insert Kylo Ren's "More,More" meme!*

Instead of the castroides I would suggest the thorny dragon. The dragon eats meat as such it doesn't collect berries which means you won't have to stop often and dump the berries to fit more wood. They also have the same weight reduction as the castroides. I also prefer them in combat situations as there larger build and higher damage output makes for a better fighter.

note on the giant bever tame you need a lot of narcotics like 40 for a level 10
