So first off, yes you do start with federation Tek armour. They recently removed damage from the tek glove’s ability, because you could just one-hit people in pvp.
Start out in the Eden zone, and if you aren’t used to tek gear abilities, then get used to them, because your gonna be using them a ton. So first off, after the cutscene you get an explorer note buff, so make cooking pots and level up as high as you can. Once you’ve done that, there’s two paths you can take:
1. Make a smithy, do a few race missions and get a harpoon gun and a net. To tame the maewing, it’s your standard tranq-and-feed.
Or
2. Make fishing baskets and go to Rockwell’s garden and catch piranha, and be sure to avoid kaprosuchus and baryonyx. If it’s a baryonyx, then fly away until it loses aggro. To tame the shadowmane, you have to put a fish basket on the last slot of your hot bar, like any passive tame and then land decently far away from the shadowmane you want to tame, crouch and walk up to it and quickly feed it the fish basket while it is asleep, it also sleeps somewhere during the day, so they are nocturnal. If done correctly, it will teleport away. If any other shadowmane aggro, then fly away until aggro is lost, and remeber these guys will teleport in to the air if your flying in their range, so be careful. Also use the taming tracker thing to find the shadowmane again. After that, you’ve gotten probably the most op mid game to early game mount. It also comes with high natural armour, don’t know if it scales with anything but here’s an example of the natural armour: let’s say you got 100.0 saddle armour for a rex, if the shadowmane had 100.0 natural armour, it would have the same amount of defense as the rex saddle. If you don’t understand what I mean, then you’ll figure it out.
Or
3. Get a reaper king day 1. I’ll go over this one, if you really want to progress quickly in the dlc then this is your option. Somebody made a video on how to do it, it was either “teacher’s game too” or “Raasclark.”

More Silver Coloring Tips
Dilo Girl, HJK, PD, anyone from pre2023 Silver and prior to the rebuilding of Achatina!!!
This is PrimalApex, I am from Achatina and joined the fanfiction community there in March of 2023, and didn’t find about anything in the dyes until 2024. BUT I need your help. I come here with disturbing news that I need help with. And I need someone to help me absolutely verify this.
It’s about Tina.
I know everyone has said she died, I legit told someone this, and that Peter, her brother came in here and confirmed it himself. But I know there was some sort of fiasco with a person ‘impersonating’ her called Cherades cause I had to look just now.
To make long story short, after I told this person that she died, I got real curious about her and look for her old posts. I was looking for any of her older posts on here to find a start date and put any information I can on her in our Fandom to properly memorialize her there. I was looking through the creature posts because it can verify the account and show you what other stuff they have posted in the past on a creature story post (for some reason dyes are anonymous posts so you can’t verify) and I found a post from Tina’s account, in December of 2022 going by the name of Charmer. Now I had checked before doing my dive into the creature posts and saw Peter’s announcement of Tina’s happened in August of 2022. Which means this should be impossible. But, there was also that other run in ‘FakeTina/Cherades’ in December. So is this fake too? It is from her old account that posted stories, so is it real???
I need to ask anyone here, anyone who has Discord and is on the Silver Dye’s Discord if anyone, someone has verifiable proof that Tina is really dead. Cause this is breaking it if it is real.
I am not here to stir up controversy, I am not here to open old wounds, I am not here to do anything but find the truth. If you want to verify my evidence, please do so. Go to Bing (Google won’t do it anymore, at least for me), and look up “Survival: a fan made story — Chapter one Dododex”, Copy and Paste it and go to Bing. Or go to the Achatina Fandom and ask to see the evidence from PrimalApex. I WILL SHOW IT TO YOU!! Please, I beg of anyone who can, please prove to me we had solid proof Tina died. Because I am afraid that all we have is the word of Peter, I think a terrible mistake happened. And it hurting me to think about it.
Please, somebody, anybody, if you don’t believe me come to Achatina, and use the website version to see the stories. I can prove this is genuine and I am the genuine PrimalApex. I just need someone to help me lay this rest. Please, anyone?
Until Next Time,

(Who is actually tearing up)
Hi, I have decided to try to write stories starting in silver dye. I am a new ark player so bear with me.
My start:
I woke up in an unfamiliar world. I look around, and all I can remember is my name, Blue. I feel a pinch on my arm and look down at it. I see a gem. I try to rub it off but I can’t. I walk over and start punching a tree. I get wood and thatch in my gem. Then, I punch a rock. That gives me flint, stone, and 1 metal. I tap the gem and look inside. It looks like a computer. I see different parts. I tap something called an eneagram and unlock a axe and fire. Then, I unlock a pickaxe. I use the axe to get more wood and thatch and the pickaxe to get stone and flint. I get no metal this time. I look in my crystal agian and see a crafting part. I craft a fire. I run in the forest and feel pain. I look down and see tiny dinosaurs. I start running away but they follow me. They kill me. I wake up agian, confused. I look around. I think “I must have somehow respawned.” I tap my crystal and see a message. I look at it and it says “you have been killed by a level 3 compy. I see a green beacon of light. I run to it. I find myself in the same place I was where I died last time! I look around apprehensively. I can’t see the compy.
More hopefully coming soon. -Joy
Feels like I’ve discovered an ancient landmark in Dododex.
A hidden community hidden away in a random place.
Arguing and chatting on the most random subjects.
I think they even made a discord.
Fascinating to know Dododex isn’t just a wiki for some, it’s a community.
-SomeGamerGuy, the stupid friend.
okay, but, what the shuck is going on here, who is Tina (rip if it was real tho), who is dtg, I needa read allo’ this lore to get caught up, seriously tho, this silver coloring tips section is completely bizarre.
Wow, so glad I found this place, it is so cool. -Joy
5 years ago this was me. Bruh I'm in college now...
-Dilo Girl, I still live!
I will continue Blue’s story in Bubblegum dye.
-Joy
