After watching the most recognized influencers do their best to try to survive in a world controlled by dinosaurs and other mysterious creatures. It is normal that many new players want to enter the fantastic world of ARK, but at the moment of taking the first step, they feel a little afraid of making a fool of themselves in front of those friends, who will not hesitate to laugh out loud when you first become an appetizer of a prehistoric carnivore. So, we are going to give you a series of useful tips below to make your entry into ARK a little more bearable. Get your ax and spear ready, the dinosaurs are on their way!
When we start in ARK, we have the option to customize our character. Normally we choose to give our digital “me” a muscular and enviable physique. However, many more experienced players recommend using a different philosophy. You could opt for the old saying “small but mighty” as the likelihood of other players seeing you and considering you a threat, with such a small character model, is lower. Also, you will be able to camouflage yourself easily in any environment or situation.
Once you have created your character, you have to remember that the beginnings are never easy, so we recommend that you start in a remote area, without so many dangers and challenges in order to begin to familiarize yourself with the game. Although you should not be confident either, appearing on a paradisiacal beach can give you a false sense of security and you may want to go swimming and explore the coast. This can be a serious mistake, as you may come out of the water with fewer fingers than you started with.
Within the game, the first thing we must do is activate the vacuum cleaner mode, and try to collect all the resources that are within our reach. Then, we have to look for food, but be careful! ARK is not like going to dinner on Sunday at your grandparents’ house, here you will not be able to eat everything, including dessert. In ARK, there are many edible and healing berries and fruits, however, there are many others that ARE NOT. Always read the item descriptions carefully.
In the menu, you will be able to learn how to create new structures and tools, in this case, you should prioritize variety. Unless you’re playing with a close group of friends, it’s better to be good at everything than to be an expert at just one thing. Then it’s time to build a shelter to bring some order and stability to the chaotic inventory you may have. This is important because as you go deeper and deeper into the ARK universe, you will get more materials and resources, that’s why the order is essential. Finally, don’t forget to build yourself a bed to rest in and have a respawn point since there is nothing worse than dying and not finding the house you have spent hours building.
Remember: always be alert, never underestimate any dinosaur, and always wear seat belts when flying in Pteranodon.
See you next time!
