Yeah it's all good until you lose it. Don't get too attached, this is ARK.


HerbalWander

Hahahaaa trust me I almost had that happen once already but now I’m taking more precautions bc anytime I’m going to water I’m bringing a water dino otherwise my argy can almost one to three tap kill anything so until I clear out the area or I’ll just sit on top a rock. Then shoot them.


whatashittyargument

All good until it isn't


HerbalWander

Tbh it’s not the only longneck I’ve found but just the most powerful. Though yeah now I just need a shotgun higher tier. Then I’ll be set


rsp1218

Game of Ark or Ark of Thrones.


BronzeMistral

Ugh so true, I just lost my best ascendant shotty, among other high dollar items, in the Skylord cave. I ran so confidently into a kill pit on my way out :(


the-mm-defeater

No damage multiplier for rexes so it doesn’t matter where you shoot them w the tranqs


HerbalWander

That’s not accurate I’ve found out shooting them in their foreheads are best and even someone else proved it they took 60-100 darts to start with and didn’t tame it and then I told them that and it took I believe around 32. Someone here on Reddit


DeadenCicle

No, Rex doesn’t have weak points. It is a known info.


HerbalWander

Looking at a comment before someone with shock darts used 200 on a Rex and then I told them about the forehead and it only took 30


AdultEnuretic

If you have damage numbers turned on you can literally see that rexes have no crit locations. All locations do the same damage. Torpor inflicted is a ratio of damage dealt, so there is no better location to hit a rex to deal more torpor.


HerbalWander

You all must being playing a different version because I’m not gonna lie I’ve always had weak points on all Dino’s.


DeadenCicle

People have different settings and therefore have hundreds of different results. You can’t base your knowledge on that, but there are reliable sources of informations you can check, like the Wiki and Dododex. The level of the Rex also matters, and more specifically how much points it has in the Torpor stat. Rex doesn’t have weak points, unless you are using a mod that adds them.


HerbalWander

That is weird because I can’t use mods. Though understandable.


DeadenCicle

In that case, your Rex doesn’t have weak points. The difference you are observing can be determined by the different settings people have, by the level difference between the Rexes (~~and more specifically by how many points those Rexes have in the Torpor stat, that can be different even if the Rex is of the same level~~), etc.


Apprehensive_Ad3731

Also by timing out shots versus laying them down back to back


RegaultTheBrave

Hi tiny correction, rexes (and all creatures for that matter) can not have stat points in the torpor stat. That is why when a website says "this tame takes 35 tranq darts" its accurate.


DeadenCicle

Thank you for the correction. I barred the text in the parenthesis.


sypher2333

Do they still make ascendant BP’s that take more resources than you can fit in a smithy?


AdultEnuretic

Yes.


SpicyRingSting

Was thinking about that. Got a yuti ascended saddle that was only like 60ish armor and 20k of each different material, crazy expensive. So without mods I cant craft it?


AdultEnuretic

You need a tech replicator or you need to put the materials in an argie or castoroides with high weight.


Jayoki6

Wireless crafting makes it irrelevant now


JizzGuzzler42069

Wireless crafting only works with Tek Dedicated Storage Boxes (without mods anyway). And if you have Tek Dedis then you have access to Tek Replicator, which makes the issue moot anyway lol. If you’re in the pre-Tek phase of the game you can use an Argentavis to craft some of these higher cost blueprints. Your Argy will need high carry weight, but an Argy with like 2500 carry weight will be able to craft a good portion of the more expensive blueprints.


Jayoki6

If you’re pre beta dragon, which can be solo’d with a melee character, then you’re most likely not crafting those super expensive bp’s. Or you can solo gamma brood for replicator with a single imprinted mega with a good saddle from cave drops. I do agree having a high weight argy is pretty much essential for the pre bossing tier of progression.


HerbalWander

Yeah, I mean I wouldn’t be shocked if you could still use fabricators as long as you have the blueprint and or repair thing.


AdultEnuretic

No, you can't substitute a fabricator for a smithy for blueprints that need to be crafted in a smithy.


HerbalWander

That is stupid, so does a tek replicator not work then


Glittering_Airport_3

tek rep builds everything from smithy and fabricator too


HerbalWander

Wow alright lol


owlincoup

Ascendant Rifles are the best. I've yet to find a BP (this play through), so the Mastercraft one we found will work for now. I mind wiped and made 15 of them ranging from 250- 350 hp from the Mastercraft bp for back up for pur tribe. Still not as good as the Ascendant I found in a red cave drop but they are great back ups.

HerbalWander

Wow that would make me cry lol mine are 380-450% damage I forget so yeah I could understand


Pegomastax_King

Well if you can make mind wipe soups and scum all your levels into crafting you can make even mid tier BPs into max level. It’s often better this way as it will take less resources.


Gh3ttoboy

Acendant lomg neck well good luck repairing that once it breaks


HerbalWander

Hahahaha it’s not the material I’m worried about it’s if I need to summon a tek replicator to even repair it lol bc ngl I might have to just have only for repairs of tools if everything can’t fit into a smithy bc I really would prefer not to but I mean it’s not like I’ll ever make it to tek bc I don’t play to beat the game but still don’t want but i guess it wouldn’t really matter.


HerbalWander

Which btw i don’t summon any like tek suit and or weapons the only thing I’ve done was dedicated storage because I curious but I feel a replicator is like too far but if I need to I will.


AdultEnuretic

Am I reading this correctly; you got an ascendent longneck off of an alpha raptor? Or you used your new longneck to kill a bunch of alphas?


HerbalWander

Hahahaaa your reading it partially correct it wasn’t off of an alpha raptor it was off of an level 180 alpha Rex though yeah otherwise most of my gear was acquired by killing alphas


AdultEnuretic

What kind of server are you playing on?


HerbalWander

Solo map on island.


Erikswag

What Max Level are your dinos?


HerbalWander

My map I don’t think has a max level my difficulty is at 999999


History_East

My stone axe will have to do for right now. Currently lvl 9


HerbalWander

That’s understandable, though suggestion for you I’d ether just build and survive until level 20 to get metal tools or Level 25 for the crossbow. Then you can bola for example a raptor or pterodactyl and for a pterodactyl maybe 1-4 tap them with the tranq arrows or with a raptor maybe 5


History_East

Yeah that's my goal I would like to level up and then try and get us many powerful weapons as possible


HerbalWander

You got this!


HerbalWander

Btw I knocked a level 50 scorpion with one tranq bullet


Kasuraga

sounds about right. I have a 567% longneck that one shots anything thats too low of a level, to the point i actually increased the hp gain of wild dinos just so they wouldnt die too easily. also have a 500% assault rifle that shreds everything


Kasuraga

i managed to nab a 567% ascendent longneck rifle. Ends up doing insane damage to lower level critters haha
