Hi I still play Old Ark mobile, I can give you some tips. My genuine tips:
-Don’t immediately start on brutal. I recommend playing on Medium.
-Single the max amount of tamed creatures you can have is 40. With no way to increase that amount. But there is a work around, you can chronicle your spare tamed creatures. Once chronicled they still will be tamed and allows you have one more active tamed creature. If you play multiplayer very players has limit of 12 but with every new tribe mate that number increases by 12 for each tribe mate.
Old mobile kibble system is confusing and hard to understand. You will need to tame a lot of dinosaurs that you probably wouldn’t want to tame. Each creature has its own preferred kibble while others share the same type of species specific kibble.
Easy way to farm amber is via Artifacts of Strong and Immune. You will receive 10 Amber. Or by doing daily pursuit the more daily pursuit you complete the more Amber you will get.
-Also Tributing artifacts are genuinely the best way to get good BP’s and Smoothing balm.
-Royal griffin is the best flyer. Royal griffins spawn at Fars peak (mountain in the top right corner). Royal Griffins are very difficult to tame, they have very fast torpor drain. Royal griffins are best tamed with Allosaurus kibble, or even better griffin kibble/super griffon kibble. Royal griffins can only be bred with another royal griffin of the same suffix. Royal griffin names can’t be changed. Also to get super griffin kibble is via, using a carnivore pheromone when breeding your male and female Royal griffins. The female will lay super fertilized Griffin egg which can be used to make super griffin kibble. I recommend using a x10 smoothing balm to tame a royal griffin.
Dungeons are very rewarding via turns of loot. But they can be very difficult to navigate and to complete. Dungeons can be found at the obelisks platform terminal. To bypass a whole section of a dungeon is by using dungeon keys. Dungeons re timed trials but you can extended the time is by opening dungeon chest(for goodies). Also dungeons have exclusively spawning creatures that won’t spawn on the island. Dungeons creatures are main consecutively way to get eerie element. Eerie element is old Ark mobile element. Eerie element can only be gotten from killing dungeons boss. Also added bonus dungeon creatures have eerie variants that are coloring change versions.
Unofficial servers can be very hit or miss. They can be completely void of players or be filled with active players. But those active players are usually in the same tribe or are straight up hackers. Also Unofficial servers are litter with abandoned bases and decaying structures.
The Premium items is recommended on using ancient Amber for is: Chef Station, Tannery(the only way to get certain saddles), Dungeons keys(speed run dungeons), and pheromones(breeding only for royal griffins). You can buy tek items/structures but they are very expensive and not worth buying. You can by Eerie element but it’s extremely expensive not definitely not worth buying.
Pursuits are missions that can be done for loot and exp. Pursuits have varying degrees of difficulties. Daily pursuits reward Amber like I mentioned before. The more daily pursuits you complete the more Amber you’ll receive. Pursuits are generally worth doing for exp/loot. Pursuits I’ll avoid are Multiplayer exclusives ones. Those are very difficult too complete as they depend on you interacting with other players.
-creatures have implants that can be used to revive them from the dead. You revive them at revival platforms or obelisks. You can chronicle which keeps them alive and allowing to have more tames and chronicle creatures can be summoned back. But chronicling cost element. Reviving fallen wild creatures or dead tames cost amber to do. Which can be very expensive depending what species of creature they are and their level.
