What are tips for crystal? Tips and strategies for crystal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you are early game I recommend going into the lava cave entrance (artifact of the massive) and mining the crystal ores around the place. You can get loads of crystal from a few branches. The branches often hang from the ceiling or walls and look pretty big.
If you are on lost island you can go to the snowy mountains to find crystal,but watch out for ice wervern.
Using a Doed on Extinction in the city, farm the tables, lampposts and benches and you will get a ton. Also the Doed auto farms until its weight is 75% from max, so carry with an Argent and once the Doed is "full" transfer to Argent as it does 50% weight reduction on crystal.
Magmas get abou 3x crystal then the mining drill gets
For me it’s hard to find but when you do the first thing to is always the spyglass
Dodics get great crystal in extinction hitting chairs
i have 46k crystal (from shredding tons of scuba masks gas masks nd riot shields from artifacts with an industral grinder) and i was wondering what i could use that for (i'm on ark mobile singleplayer)
i already have a fairly big greenhouse
nd i already have alot of tek structures
so, any tips?
If you are looking for a map to mine lots of crystal go to val crystal cave cords are 34.6 10.5 when you see the water falls fly or grapple in. In pvp it is probably taken as it is a great pvp cave base. Use anky or mantis with high melee to the most. Bring other teams with either a rip weight reduction on Crystal or really high weight there will be lots of crystal and metal.
You can them them in caves where there are giant crystals
Carry 3 pillars, a ceiling and a ladder. Then enter either southern cave on the island and you can climb up and safely harvest a lot of crystal with zero danger. Works on mobile in Casual, because you can destroy and rebuild the supplies over and over.
Lots on mountains
Bring an aky to harvest and you will have so many you wont know whatto do with them
If you want thousands of crystal craft a mining drill on genesis then put it in a tek transmitter after that go on Crystal isles. Go to the obelisk to grab it. Go to the tropical zone and break aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll the Crystal.
Go extintion with Doedic and hit the lampost u get much more than all this ways of farming.
On Fjordur, in the Aberration Cave in Vannaland, there's a ton of Crystal and some Ravengers you can tame to help carry it, there's also the Megapithicus spawn terminal, so that's fun.
If you go to 76, 47 on a mountain you’ll find some.
If you go to Lunar Biome with a Bronto you’ll be set
Ankys gather more than pik I tried mining crystal with my anky and I found out that anky better at gathering
I find I funny that the magmasaur is not on the list at all it is one of the best tames I know of for that better than an anky
Take a Bronto in the Ab cave on fjordur for crystal
This is a kinda useless tip but tek gloves harvest better than my mastercraft metal pickaxe
