I landed on Ark last week, They left me with a gold starter pack at celeste quarry. I made my way down to celeste harbor, threw all my nice loot from the gold pack in the storage and startet swunting with the tt longsword. Now Im thinking about the next 10.000k carabok swunting, would it be better to craft my own longswords or am i going better with buying them fromm the TT? People talk about gettin fast skills while repairing on MS`s with RK-5 and welding wire. How can i get on a Mothership for work? How many Tools and wires(PED) do i need for 1 month à 4-8 hours a day? Are terminals on a Mothership so i can test my new craft skills? Would it be better for me, trying to get a small smuggler sword like manta K5(wich i could tier now, and learn with it) for thousands of PED or stuck with TT swords? at what point is it better the go with the smuggler? hope i have a bright future with lots of nice friend on Ark
I would suggest finding a mentor in game and becoming a disciple. When you then complete the program and reach L10 in a profession then you will receive a free Armour and also a 4 x 4 vehicle. Musca Adjusted Armour - If you have a new starter pack then this armour will also offer you better protection in the future. There are many things to do in game and there are a fair amount of hidden skills that are available. Listed below. My suggestion would be to make sure that any weapon that you use is 5 professional standings above the recommended level. This then allows you to play more economically and will make your peds last longer. If your wanting to skill mellee then philo swords from Next Island / OR The Auction can be picked up reasonable priced and should be +1 or + 2 ped.

If your hunting carabock then you could always save the hides and turn them in to crafted items / textures this will then give you skills without having to fly up to a mother ship they might gain at a slower pace but you will then be turning your old loot in to manufactured items. You might like to use the following site if you want to craft as this has tools for what items you have for blueprints - if you dont have a blue print then they can sometimes be picked up from the auction. http://www.candyman.se/pe/bobthebuilder/v2/ If your also hunting and are able to save items then there is also the Viceroy Armour mission That requires the following loot. Arm Guards (Mission 1) 2000 Corria Veneer 100 Soft Leather 400 Paint Can (Yellow) 100 Electronic Stabilizing Component 800 Animal Oil Residue Foot Guards (Mission 2) 2000 Miluca Veneer 300 Socket II Component 100 Paint Can (Brown) 900 Animal Oil Residue 1000 Blazar Fragment Gloves (Mission 3) 2000 Miluca Veneer 200 Socket I Component 100 Paint Can (Green) 1000 Nova Fragments 700 Animal Oil Residue Harness (Mission 4) 3000 Hekia Veneer 1100 Generic Leather 3000 Paint Can (Orange) 1000 Animal Muscle Oil 2100 Animal Oil Residue Shin Guards (Mission 5) 2000 Arkace Veneer 40 Wool Thread 200 Animal Thyroid Oil 700 Animal Oil Residue 70000 Explosive Projectiles Thigh Guards (Mission 6) 2000 Corria Veneer 50 Wool Cloth 100 Animal Adrenal Oil 700 Animal Oil Residue 70000 Explosive Projectiles Helmet (Mission 7) 2200 Arkace Veneer 220 Socket III Component 440 Animal Eye Oil 800 Animal Oil Residue 40 Tier I Component This is another Arkadian Armour and offers nice protection and if or hunting and can save the loot up over time then it is a nice reward. Good Luck and Have Fun
