ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Use this to max out your Crafting Speed skill and pair with a couple of Focus Chilis to make the most out of your blueprints and your Custom Recipes.
You can gain quite few extra stats on your new equipment by doing this, so long as your blueprints are decent. The boost can vary wildly, so if you roll low on Crafting Skill Bonus, try again. Your Ascendant gear blueprints are even better now!
My favorite custom recipe is Shadowflame's Patty, a 120 Raw Meat patty that is named after my PixARK Ghost Dragon. It heals 1259 Health and fills your inner dragon's belly with 1716 Food. This is provided you invest 105 levels into Crafting using the Mindwipe Tonic and use Focus Chili, like I stated earlier. Perfect for hot and cold environments alike!
Also, be sure you record your prior stats if you like them. Making these are mad expensive even on a Chemistry Bench!

Doesnt delete tekgrams so u dont have to defeat the bosses again
When it says “prime meat” it means literal prime meat, that includes prime fish, prime jerky and cooked mutton since they’re all types of prime meat
This soup is good but has minor side affects……wait what was I saying.
You can only use one every 24 hours and you will have to travel back to every map to relearn engrams you've learned from other maps
On PvP knock a high level palyer out and force feed it then they lose their engrams.
Here is what I recommend doing with these.
Collect a ton of the resources. And I mean weeks worth. You have to craft something around 15 times to max out all of it's stats. Get roughly 20 times (having extra is always good) the resources for each thing you want to upgrade, based of the basic crafting requirements. This works on everything with stats. Weapons and armor.
Drink the mindwipe tonic, put everything into crafting skill. Make a base weapon. Your crafting skill will improve it's stats. Use the blueprint station and make a blueprint of it. Use that blueprint and make another. Make a blueprint of the newer item. Basically do that on repeat until the stats are maxxed out. This will allow you to have a max level weapon for the resource price of a non-upgraded basic item. This is absolutely the best way to do this and you will have the best gear and weapons.
For polymer, use natural polymer. Moschops have a drastically higher resource collection that you can upgrade to collect organic polymer. You can put the organic polymer in the upgrade station and it massively increases it's expiration timer. Use the moschops and start a penguin/praying mantis farm and use the moschops attack order to collect the dead bodies and you'll have loads of organic polymer in no time.
You can also use cooked mutton instead of prime meat
Good for resetting stats to redistribute lvls or trick younger siblings
The most useful late game recipe on mobile for a f2p player, as without God console, leveling up on mobile is extremely difficult and boring once you reach really high levels, but with this wonderful and relatively cheap soup, you can get the engram you need without suffering a week getting half a million xp... Seriously wildcard do something about it, leveling up should feel rewarding, not like literall work
