Tips & Strategies
Striders are easily the best.
1st you can have them linked to a dedicated storage so you are taking up any weight.
2nd they harvest a toooooon
Using the strider to harvest shards on gen 2 in space will easily net you 1 million shards in about an hour. Using any other method of element grind is an absolute waste of time.
If you take a stryder to Crystal isles you can farm about 120 element worth of shards per run on 1x
Use a tek strider it is much better than any other thing on gen 2
For Crystal Isles, the mining drill does work but it’s very minimal. Tek Stryder is the best since it collects the most and has the best range so you can hit the crystals up high. I collect about 100 element worth in a short run.
Crystal isles....crafted hatchet and mantis
Wow the mining drill is a pure 5.0
If u go to the space biome on genesis 2, one of the rotations has things the same shape as normal crystal nodes but with a hint of purple. Mine these and you will get hundreds of this stuff, and a bit of normal element
just asking if its possible too change the shards too element on ark. does the tek replicator help?
An ascendant pick can be better for gathering element shards, than a mining drill or an anky on the magmasaur cave on gen 1
Mining drill does hardly anything. Use the Anky; or, if you have to use equipment, use a metal pick.
Example: mined the same area with each - leveled Anky and journeyman pick do about the same, but mining drill does about 40% less.
Do not use stryder for this one CI. They will no harvest shards. Tried it.
Do not inhale this stuff,unless you wanna become Rockwell…
Can you actually substitute element shard for element??
The axe is better for shards then a pickaxe
It works on isles just gotta be right crystal but ank is still better
