{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/8cd5a973bb42675c7cb6efd6614b8d166aee4bb9.jpg Greetings Survivors! With the Studio’s focus on the development of ARK 2 and the recent launch of Fjordur, the team has been very focused on making that as awesome as we possibly can. Unfortunately, that means we haven’t been able to do a traditional Summer Bash event. We really appreciate all the support you’ve shown us over the years, and the heights that have been reached with our new arrivals so let’s celebrate summer with a special Summer Evo Event! Including all of your loved past Summer Bash colors plus 7 hand-picked new ones with a tropical vibe. Throw in special 3x rates on everything including breeding and the ability to get your hands on past Summer Bash items and we think we have a fun little celebration! We know you folks enjoy your event cosmetics so as has been our trend during this last year of events on ARK 1, we will continue to keep the associated cosmetics in the Hexagon Exchange once each event ends. So break out your shades and catch some rays in the 2022 Summer EVO event! Running from July 1st 1PM Pacific to July 15th 1PM Pacific - and while you are at it, check out this new piece from ARK: The Animated Series completed by Gareth Coker. https://soundcloud.com/jeremy-wildcard/ark-the-animated-series-helena-victoria-themes Find out more about the upcoming series here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/f83343a8b669a423ad99721465dbf715d1aa3deb.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/bf8453073f8ec8472cf1079ad334a5683d7d6203.png The Summer EVO event will run from July 1st 1PM Pacific to July 15th 1PM Pacific. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/fc8735d265d8fc1215265883ef6ac997810d19b5.png Note that single-player and non-dedicated servers will need to manually enable the event in Advanced settings: Active Event: summer For unofficial servers the required launch parameter is: -activeevent=summer {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/ae083a8e4888b9eabf69cd130403e73b80af5ec4.png For the duration of The Summer Evo Event, we will be disabling the world buffs from Baby Boon & Maewing Poach on Genesis Part 2 on the Official Network. In the past, we've adjusted for the impact events have had on the rates by tweaking the bonuses that we use during the holidays, however, those tweaks lead to unfavorable circumstances on maps that aren't Genesis Part 2, so going forward during breeding events, we'll be disabling these mission buffs specifically as not to affect the bonuses on other maps *Note that these bonuses are multiplicative of the game's standard 1x rates. Official Servers: 3x XP, Harvesting, Taming, and Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation), 0.5x Mating Interval, 1.5x Hexagon Bonus Small Tribe Servers: 4.5x XP, Harvesting, Taming, 4x Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation), 0.5x Mating Interval, 1.5x Hexagon Bonus ARKPocalypse: 5x XP, Harvesting, Taming, and Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation), 0.5x Mating Interval, 1.5x Hexagon Bonus Conquest: 5x XP, Harvesting, Taming, and Breeding (imprint, maturation, hatch/gestation), 0.5x Mating Interval, 1.5x Hexagon Bonus {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/23fa9475a30d0a5d1b608eac0730dfdf9aa7e3fa.png Emotes, skins, and chibis from previous Summer Bash events are available to craft in the Cooking Pot! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/53fe569d4d00e893197ead48f63055be3d68d69c.png Dino Light Red *NEW* Yellow *NEW* Dino Albino *NEW* PowderBlue *NEW* Turquoise *NEW* Lavender *NEW* Light Green *NEW* Dino Dark Blue Red White Dino Light Blue Dark Red Blue Light Grey Cream Cammo Orange MediumTeal DarkBlue LemonLime Peach Coral {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/fda81d10ad207588683a3fb23db8194e258daa65.png Fan Art Gallery | Screenshot Gallery | Artist Feedback Form {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/4933c71e5db22da333f3b8e8f3111697e75b1a1e.png Woof 2.0#4952 My first tame was a dilo, I got a pack of 8 of them and then I thought "wow this army is so strong, it kills all raptors and enemies at the beach"... So I approached the Therizinosaurus and basically said "alright get him boys" and uh, let's just say after I had no more dilos AND I died afterwards. From that moment, I noticed that thing is no joke in the early game. Poi#6351 I wanted to get my first artifact ever, So I went searching for a thyla (I’m on the island), I couldn’t find s***. So I went looking for a baryonyx, I found a level 115 and tamed that guy right up. I got some meat for him, and cryppoded him. I decided to go to the southern cave, so I did and I was confident as hell going in there. So I went in there, I thought that there would be way less creepy crawlers in the my bary was half health, then it was 1/4 health, then it had 200 hp, then it died. I ran into the artifact room. I tried to exit but an arthropela came up and I had 15 hp. I set up some sleeping bags In the artifact room, and ran out of the cave, and someway somehow, I made it out with the artifact, but no baryonyx. Lesson learned: bring med brews, level up your caving Dino before going caving, and tame a thyla. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/3ac5f030bb651a0d1e211205d713b0cdb8f8429a.png Creator: Ninjakiller A brief but very informative breakdown of Fjordur rune locations, plus tips to help track them all down.
