Go to either the black forest on val or the red forest on crys isles and use a wyvs/crystal wyvs wing flap attack and youll get tons of charcoal. U can also burn a ton of wood in an indus forge

Burn wood in industrial forge for fast charcoal

Use more than 100 campfire and put 100 woods for each

Now you make air pollution for ark

Go to gen 1 volcano with a trusty Dino and a megatherium that took you ages to find and hit all the trees and you should get some charcoal (u[p so more people can see)

Don't discard in early game. Later on it can be used for many things, including gunpowder.

Burn wood for a few hours and you'll get it in ark mobile too

If you are on Rag then go break the trees in the volcano area and bam you have several thousand charcoal

I wish when I was new that I knew that u shouldn’t get rid of charcoal. I can remember dispensing multiple full stacks…..

Best way to farm this late game is use tek gauntlets on the charcoal trees on crystal I was getting 600+ per hit on smalls
