Weight Reduction
Saw a guy on reddit who bred 2 tek parasaurs constantly and when the babies died he would farm them for dust and scrap metal. Ruthless, but efficient
Once you open the engram Element fron Ext, you can craft Element from the dust. Use a weight Argy and pump points into Doedic's weight as well to take more swings per flight. They do not get extra dust from melee points. Have been farming for a while to know the difference now 🙂
Take a good doed to extinction stay in sanctuary and attack every light poll and bench you see they pay out heavy in dust, electronics and crystal
On extinction go to a element vein, bring a mantis with metal tools, and watch the element dust pile up
You can breed tek animals and kill the babies with a chainsaw and bam your farming element dust
Goodluck
Get tek animals breeding let the babies grow up and kill them and harvest with chainsaw or highest dmg weapon you have
Killing tek animals will give you this in addition to electronics.
The Mantis with ascendant picks with harvest a lot of dust. Just pump melee and weight
If you get a good battle dino, just go out on it and find tek animals. Kill them, you will harvest lots of element dust, electronics, scrap metal, and oil. One 10 minute run can bring in probably one or two element worth of element dust. Electronics are used to craft many things, oil is used to make gas, and scrap metal can be smelted into scrap metal ingot at one scrap metal=one scrap metal ingot (double of regular metal to regular ingot) I strongly suggest using argies for these runs, because they have weight reduction on the metal, and these tek runs can be quite encumbering. I will warn you, however, that tek dinos have not yet been added to mobile. One element is 1,000 element dust, and can only be crafted at a tek replicator. On the island, the tek dinos that you can find are tek parasaurs, tek raptors, tek stegos, and tek rexes. These can be tamed and bred, and you can harvest the recourses from the babies. Tek animals are the same as organic but with different drops.
Ok guys on genesis part two on the element dust lunar biome there is a small chance to pick up element I have spent about 20 minutes picking up element dust and I just now picked up a piece of element!! I just wanted to let the ark community know because o didn’t
Usage: Element Dust is used to craft the following item:
• Scout Remote
• Tek Gravity Grenade
• Unassembled Enforcer
• Unstable Element
• Unstable Element Shard
It is also used to power the (Scout) and act as (Enforcer) food/energy source.
If youre on extinction use the doedicarous to farm it from the street lights. Around 600ish per pole
Hit light poles and you’ll get lots of element and other resources
Tek variants of dinos also drop Element Dust.
You can get loads of this by picking up piles of it on one of the space biome rotations on genesis 2.
Enforcers are really good at harvesting this
If you play on a dedi server with a high melee on your character or mind wipe to put all melee and have a good chainsaw or np chainsaw enforcers and you will get more than you craft the enforcer for
Use an enforcer on the lamp posts in Extinction. You'll farm a lot of dust early on when you're starting out.
The piles of these in the Genesis 2 space(small blue asteroids, blue drop color) can actually be picked up with a Mining Drill. A lot faster than picking them up by hand.
Go to genisis 2 Abs find tek wyvern and breed them you get 500-550 dust per wyvern
