Tips & Strategies

More Trilobite Utility Tips
On the left side of the island map, there is a bit that looks a bit like a crooked finger. First of all, you can wall off the part that connects it to the rest of the island and turn the entire finger into your base. It is extremely safe and the only predators there are ichthyornises and dilos. Second of all, at the part where it connects to the rest of the island, there is a small pond surrounded by rocks and in that pond a ton of trilobites spawn. I made my base on this finger and made a chitin farm with the pond. Do with this knowledge what you will.
Keep the pearls. You'll thank me later.
They are the only creature near me that gives chitin
I have recently discovered that these are by far the most valuable tame for any level of player.
Why you ask? Try taming 1 and then put anything at in it's inventory and see what happens ;) also you don't have to feed them AT ALL
Kill these on sight to get resources that youβll need later because these suddenly disappear when you need them
On the pvp server, you can tame it and hide precious resources in it, placing it somewhere in the depths of the ocean.Wild creatures will not attack him
I once got 157 chitin from just one of these!! Definitely recommend going for these guys for chitin and oil, pearls (you get both) are just a bonus! They like to spawn around beachs and shallow rivers #Wolfs4Life β€οΈβ€οΈπΊβ€οΈβ€οΈ -Wolfa191
I struggle to find silica pearls on the island so at one point in time I hunted these guys down to the brink of extinction. (I basically just slaughter them).
Youβll find a ton of these over time on the east side of The Island on the beach at the base of metal mountain. Thereβs a straight beach across and south of Carno Island. When I live there I never run out of chitin.
