A while back, some of the explorer notes were released by Wildcard. Even more explorer notes are available in the devkit, which you can find in more detail here. These explorer notes will be scattered across the island for you to find. In addition to the notes, there will also be ruins that show buildings from the past and the mysteries that surround it. Both these things will be added in the patch v242 that is scheduled for May 30! As stated by Jat:  Various historical ruins will be found all across the ARK, we encourage survivors to go on adventures and seek them out as theyRead More →

The next patch (v241) will include some changes to the biomes on the island. There was an old biome map released a while back, but this one is not up to date anymore. Most of the changes have now been made and we are able to show you the actual new biome map. Keep in mind that biome changes include changes in terrain. This means that if you currently reside in one of the affected areas, it’s best to relocate before the patch hits (around May 30th), as there is a chance that you will lose your base otherwise. What’s happening The old Snow Biome has receivedRead More →

After burrowing beneath the jungle floor, Purlovia enters a state of hibernation, and can go extended periods without any food.Read More →

A new version of the DevKit was released today. Unfortunately there weren’t many new things available this time. There are already a lot of creatures modeled and textures, so we think that they first focus on releasing those before turning to new ones. However, there are still a couple of things that might be interesting for you guys to see. Tek wall With the new tek tier items such as armors and weapons, we also get access to a new type of wall. In the pictures you will find this to called tek-wall, and also a comparison of it with a normal metal and stone wall.  Read More →

Today, patch v239 hit our games and brought some nice new content. Below you’ll find an overview of the things that have been added, including creatures, items and spawn commands, so you will be prepared for anything.

Taming The favorite food of the Direbear is Carno kibble, and you will need 11 for a level 1, up to 48 for a level 120.

With patch v239 getting really close (close-close, so today), more and more screenshots (including catchy captions) are released by the Wildcard team. An overview of them can be found here, and they do not only include the new Direbear and Manta, but also the Broodmother boss arena. Hopefully it will finally be released and not pushed back again, as it looks fairly finished. Additionally, the new spotlight can also be found at the bottom of this post! What are you guys looking out for the most? The new creatures, new items or the larger changes such as the boss arenas or breeding mechanics? SpotlightRead More →
