Item Spotlight: Transponder Tracker and Transponder Node
Never lose your dinos again thanks to this handy tool. Granted, they might still be killed in the wild, but many have argued that most Dinos fare better with their instincts than the instructions of the wise man who sits on them, and accidentially falls off a cliff. GPS tracking is a two-part solution. You’ll… Continue reading Item Spotlight: Transponder Tracker and Transponder Node
Item Spotlight: Crossbow and Machined Shotgun
Patch 187.0 added these two new weapons. The crossbow excels in underwater-hunts, where it can be used to hurt swimming dinos from a safe distance. It weighs 8.0 units, and is available relatively early in the game (the required level is 25), though the price of 12 engram points certainly is not cheap. Obviously you’ll… Continue reading Item Spotlight: Crossbow and Machined Shotgun
Item Spotlight: Tripwire Narcotic Trap and Tripwire Alarm Trap
Of all words of tongue or pen, the most infuriating are “Your base has been.” At least in ARK, there are few things more frustrating than logging on and finding out your base was raided overnight. Even worse is having it happen while you’re roaming around far away from home. One of the most basic… Continue reading Item Spotlight: Tripwire Narcotic Trap and Tripwire Alarm Trap

Be it cooking for spoiled pets, or processing the results of a little walk outside with the sabretooth, chances are a single cooking pot won’t be sufficient to process everything in time. And handling many of them at once… Continue reading Item Spotlight: Industrial Grill
Colorful flares
The flare-gun itself, while undoubtedly important, isn’t that interesting. At least not in a world where any large shadow looming over you might turn out to be a curious Brontosaurus. However, as reddit user /u/ARKaholic discovered, you can actually spice them up a bit by colouring them. To do so, simply drag the dye onto… Continue reading Colorful flares
Item Spotlight: Bookshelf
The trusty bookshelf is by far the most convenient way to store your research results. With 100 slots it offers a lot of room, but that comes at a price: You can only store Blueprints, Specimen Implants and Notes there. Unlike the Reinforced Steel Vault, it is affordable before the endgame. The Engram is available… Continue reading Item Spotlight: Bookshelf
Item Spotlight: Reinforced Steel Vault
The Reinforced Steel Vault arrived with Patch 177.0, and is a great way to store large amounts of items. However, it comes with a hefty pricetag. As you can see below it requires an impressive amount of resources, which puts it at the end-game stage. Crafting You need the following items to craft a… Continue reading Item Spotlight: Reinforced Steel Vault
Item Spotlight: Silica Pearls

This post gives you an overview of how to find them. How to find them The key to harvesting the pearls is to recognize them. The image to the left shows… Continue reading Item Spotlight: Silica Pearls
