Haven’t done much in Genesis 2 yet, since I’ve only played it once. However, I started building a Tek base in the Eden Zone, and tamed a Maewing and a breeding pair of decent-level shadowmanes. I swear. This map is SO good. There’s even a hidden ocean biome!!! If you want to get to the ocean, check out the weird tank thing in the lake (hopefully you know what I’m talking about.) At the bottom of it in the lake, there’s a tunnel into this awesome ocean biome.

A few other tips:

WATCH OUT FOR THE SOUTHERN ROCKWELL’S GARDEN!!! There are a lot of bugs there, including bloodstalkers, and shadowmanes spawn a lot there.

Tame a Maewing first thing!!! The saddle unlocks at level 19, they’re easy to tame, and incredibly good at traversing the map.
