[Need Help] How to get elements on Extinction ?
Hi guys !

We're a group of 5 players playing on a private server versus environment only. I think we're rly stuck actually.

If I understood good, there are 3 ways of getting elements and then be able to craft tek replicator :

1 - Titans : We're clearly not powerful enough to get those down (we got some rex and velonasaur and so on but I never did a boss fight, how to know when we are boss/titan ready ? o_o )

2 - Unstable elements, crafted with 1000 element dust. Clearly no way we can do that. This would take ages even with Doedicurus to reach 100 000 element dust while we're also saving them for enforcers.

3 - Element Veins are events like supply drops. But If I understood well, they're not showing up for the moment because it destroyed some player bases right ?

So at the point here, we're kinda stuck... how to get those elements ;ç; ?
Thanks by advance.

basicaly all u need to defeat the the desert titan is snow owls nothing more u can hit the corupt parts on it back and take its hp down... and atm only way to really get element by farming is element dust ahh yes also u can get crazy amount if element from farming red drops a.k.a the red event drops so that will be hard as well but we been getting like 400 element per red drop. the way we do it is we tame desert titan then go for red drops ez loot hope it helps :D

Try taming up Gacha's cause they have a chance of producing dust in thier crystals, kill and harvesting wild Enforcers, and using doedics to break down structures in the city are the only real early game means of getting element dust. Once you feel geared and ready enough then start doing the stuff you listed. If you own the private server that you and your friends are playing on maybe even turn up the harvest rates a little. On my single player world i have it at x3 harvest rate since its only me advancing up.

Until the veins are fixed I've elected to increase the element dust drop rate by 25x on my private server so we can at least farm enforcers and city doodads to get some flowing.

Thanks everyone for your help. We're gonna head toward the desert giant but I don't know how this lil guy is gonna help us make red supply drops.
We tried one, we got sent to orbit by 7 spino and said " ok this is so hard".

Any strategy for red drops ?

The red drops are extremely hard. Dragons Spinos and rexes all over. I brought in 9, 3rd generation Gigas each doing 1k per bite. And that's about what is needed. We were able to do it without losing too much health.

They have around 40k.

Unless you're bringing in an overwhelming force, don't try it. However if you can do it, you'll get a lot of element.
