Ark on sale - anyone that wants to tribe together let me know. Lot to learn.
1st try, try to pick a server with a little bump in xp and taming time. The description will be like 5xXP/5xT
Servers that are pure vanilla are frustrating until you get some experience . A must have website is
http://www.survive-ark.com/taming-calculator/ Also staying alive for the 1st couple of days can be difficult. Hints: Like rust, make a pickaxe 1st then hatchet and spear n level up. Make multiple spears and and keep them in the quick access box because they will break without warning. Palm trees seem to drop as much wood and thatch as big trees. Wooden club is best for taming until you can get trank arrows. Compy and Dilophosaur are your biggest threat until you level up.
