Pursuits (Mobile)

Pursuits
Complete a pursuit, and get rewarded!

Pursuits are a feature in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. They work in a similar manner to quests, and when completed, give rewards.

Overview

Pursuits from single player to multiplayer modes differ because single player offers a more tutorialized set of basic pursuits to help introduce new players to the world of ARK. Multiplayer jumps straight into the fun of hunting, taming, and exploring!

Pursuits can give quite a lot XP to level up (see list below). For Pursuits that give a lot of XP (like Artifact Pursuits) it's recommended to use multipliers in order to get the most XP.

For example, if one has 4x experience boost from both an Explorer Note Pursuit and a 2x XP ad buff (or with Primal-Pass), applying Intense Focus would earn them a 12x XP boost total.
