Tribe:The Tribe

Ark Tribe: The Tribe
The Tribe is a duo of survivors. We tame high level dinos and aspire to scuba dive our way around The Island for kicks.

Our Ark Focus
We are a relatively peaceful pair that runs around gathering resources to build a defensible base to house all of our dinos. In general, we keep to ourselves due to all the resource grinding but we'll lend a hand when we can and love to take out alphas in our general area. Shout out if you spot an alpha rex!

Things We've Learned
1. Pillars are better than foundations for claiming land - one pillar claims a lot of land and DOES NOT prevent resources from respawning. The giant forest by our base proves that. Claiming land with a foundation robs everyone of renewable resources.

2. Pillars are also a great way to avoild platform griefing on a PVE. if you pillar out all the space you want and a small buffer, no one can place anything close enough to block your build.

3. All dinos, once tamed, gain 58 levels. Dinos gain the first so many levels quickly, no matter if you tamed a level 1 or 100+. Higher levels take longer to tame but they gain more efficiency levels upon taming and still get the 58 additional levels as you go. You may not get to pick the initial stats, but you get a lot higher stats and can still tailor the dino to your liking with the next 58 levels.

4. Why waste tranq darts? Tame a high level frog, spider, pachy, or scorpian, pump its health then its melee and use its attack to knock out big dinos. Ten seconds between hits with a scorpion so the torpor kicks in. Makes taming amazingly easier. (Keep in mind that we are on a PVE server. Strategy is different on a PVP server.)

Be An Ally
We aren't currently looking for new members for our tribe, but we are always happy to gain new friends and allies!

Left Ark? if you don't destroy your abandoned base, we will. Not only do we get easy resources that way, but we keep the server clean and open up space for new players who may not realize the space is claimable.
