Time limit for swamp fever
Swamp fever is permanent, you kill yourself or get killed, you keep it. This is extremely annoying. Almost a entire server is infected by it because a guy ran around and was fisting people until it kept spreading in tribes then tribe wars. Now people in that server are literally used to it, it need to have like a 1 hour limit then its cured. The cure is hard to get itself. There should be some sorta disease wipe everyday

It's not really hard to get a cure. It's like a lvl 15 engram and all you have to do is walk through the swamp on anything carno size or larger munching everything till you kill a few leeches.

You gotta go through taming process, making the saddle, etc.

So no one already has a carno sized tame... 🤨

I joined the server early and was infected at lvl 10 or something, it started getting hard to survive, and then i had to confront others which means they also get the virus, and i atm kept dying because my stamina wont regenerate well

You can farm the antidote or you can transfer from the server and transfer back to remove it. Its really not hard to remove

Transfer? P.S, farming the antidote is the same as getting it, i have to take several risks, and the titanboas would long get me before im in anyway

I forgot about that trick. If you're on a cluster of servers to can transfer to another one and it gets rid of swamp fever, then just transfer back.

By farm he probably means supply drops, they some times have an antidote.

Btw, taming is part of the game and is a viable solution to your issue. It's a survival game, learn to survive =P

I dont know how to transfer, and what i learnt about it on ark mobile is you lose your current stuff, only keep items on your character and i have a large base, and yes taming is part of the game, but you cant tame straight away at level 20 - 30 a carnp, or like i know how to survive but its different in this case, i gotta visit a dangerous area that requires me to farm it, in other games a sickness could be healed without going to far.

It's not like that on PC. You keep all of your stuff. You just to to a terminal, usually at an obelisk, and can select a server to go to. If it's just a single server you won't be able to transfer though.

You can tame dilos at lvl 1 by punching them lol. You can also tame raptors with a slingshot. While raptors aren't the optimal thing to get leech blood for an antidote, it's still possible. Ark can be a difficult game, but solving your problem isn't out of your reach. Trust me, the harder you struggle leaning the game, the better you will be at it.

Training at a early age in the game i feel like is weak, im more focused on defences then really, taming. Ark is a grinding game which in the end you get raided. So right now, i dont have the engram for raptor saddle neither have i seen one and a raptor is nothing compared to all the swamp animals
