ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
For some reason I never realized that you could ride Moschops saddleless until watching Axeman’s Ark 100 Days Hunted video. I had tamed 2 when I was new but found no use for them so killed them. After finding out you could ride them I immediately tamed one turns out you CANT ride them in mobile:( After that I named it False Expectations and headed home, thinking once again it was useless. When I got back I whistled for him and Snapper (my dimorph) to stop. I turned around to se him scratch at the ground. I checked his inventory and he had 36 fibre from one plant, along with, somehow, 100 thatch, some wood, some meat, some hide, and berries. I have seen many people asking how to get it to gather in mobile. Just let it follow you till it’s at a bush, whistle stop, and boom, tons of fiber. When a battle breaks out, it will not help, just run, even when tamed, unless on passive. This can be viewed as good or bad as he won’t help but he will escape, meaning if you die while offline in multiplayer you can request him back when you get back in the game. That happened to me, resulting in dead me, dead Snapper (RIP), dead dodo, and still alive and kickin’ False Expectations!

This guy is my favorite dino to start. It can farm LOTS of fiber, chitin, berries, rare mushrooms, rare flowers, polymer, etc. And it has a considerably good melee and health. But people don't see its value just because its a big coward iguana... Lmao. But for real, they're really one of the best dinos to get at the beginning, if not the best. Give this an up to let people know.
Moschops is literally one of the best chitin and polymer farmers, if not the best. Kill trilobites with it and you'll see how much chitin it gets (and a bit of oil and pearls too). I spent the last hour killing trilobites with Potato (my Moschops) and got two chests full of chitin. Apparently people don't know this so give it an up to let everyone know.
Btw for those who don't know, they used to be unrideable in the previous ark mobile "Ark survival evolved" but now in ark ultimate they are rideable by the player.
Also try to tame one of these early game to be really set on any future dino you want to tame. If there is a farmable resource out there,this guy will farm it.
