Tips & Strategies
go to the hidden lake on the island and raid all the beaver dams
Fun fact: Frog eat Bug. Frog turn Bug into Paste.
Buy gen 2 do missions then buy thousands. Easiest way trust me
Look for beever nests, they have cementing paste
Mid to late game - use 'chemistry bench' instead of 'mortar and pestle'. Save heaps on resourses and time.
On rag, go to the beaver lake, and get into a big nest. Then take ALL of the stuff and let the beavers kill you. Then just fly back on something and look through your corpse. They won’t agro on you.

On genesis make sure to get a frog and go to liner caves for glow bugs. You can also go to bog biome and kill bugs. Or you can make a huge ocean platform and make layers of stone rooms and make a achitina factory. Mine is called paste inc.
Btw the bug creatures don’t just drop cementing paste just by harvesting them. If you use a frog however, the chitin will instead be cementing paste.. Just for people who don’t know
Get urself 6 snails and you have inf cp, you will have 20k in a no time
Just forget chitin and keratin. Beavers are the way to go. Just use a flyer to drop down and get the paste, then fly off to the next one. I got hundreds this way from a small area.
Get a frog early game and do bugs in swamps but later on use snails and weight them down you can get paste even when afk
You can find there too in beavers dam. The amount is high as well between 200-300
As well as u can find them as achatina paste
Ur welcome for the tip
Achatinas are ok but they only eat sweet vegetable cakes even after taming. So instead i’d recommend taking a beelzebufo to the swamp and killing all the meganeuras you see. You’ll be getting about 20 per bug on official and you dont even have to worry about harvesting the dead bugs as the beelzebufo does it automatically on kill. The frog can evade most creatures with a jump but just watch out for kapros as they’ll knock you off your tame.
With a frog tame you can go to the swamp and eat bugs if the PvE action appeals to you, but, that requires some Character levels and a tame.
For beginner players, solo players or ppl that don't play as much and just want some quick cementing paste for some metal foundations or whatever, then raiding beaver dams is the way to go. Its easy to jump in and grab a couple stacks and run away because your being chased by an army or bear size beavers but it benefits you to come back after they've stopped agroing and empty the beaver dam inventory of all wood, if you dont destroy the dam than the cementing paste wont respawn.
Tame a beelzebufo and fing a group of meganeura or and other small insects attack them with the beelzebufa and you will get cementing paste instantly, I suggest you should go to the swamp where there are bigger groups of meganeura
Doadic + megatherium + chem bench = profit
If you need a good Chitin farm, take a high level Megatherium into the redwood cave on Fjordur, absolutely tons of Meganeuras there! Did it myself and got around 7 rows of chitin!
The best way I think of getting cementing paste:
1. Get a griffin,argentavis,pteradon or gallimimus
2. Find a beaver dam
3. Kill the beavers or lead them away
4. Steal the loot from beaver dam
Second way:
1. Get a frog
2. Find a swamp
3. Kill meganuara’s/ants
Hope this helps you and this is all I know for now
the large round beaver dens on Ragnarok also contain lots of cementing paste, but you still have to destroy the den, and these dens are often surrounded by TONS of beavers.
