Is there anywhere safe for level 21 to find obsidian (Island map)?

[cool skill]

There is a recipe for scissors at level 21 that requires 5 obsidian. So far I don't know of any obsidian location that is safe to access at that level. Playing single player in Footpaw.

Some troll on another site tried to claim you can go to any location and fly at that level. Which I know is total BS. You don't even unlock your first flier saddle until level 28. At this stage of the game, users typically stick to safer areas along the south coast of the map. But there doesn't seem to be any obsidian in those areas.

Thanks!

hey man, so obisidian can basically be found on most mountains and caves but also if you go to the ark.gamepedia and search one of the maps which would be the Island in this case and you scroll down to you see resource map it shows all the resources available. Hope this helped, and also you really want scissors that bad? Lmao.

No it does not help at all. Anybody can open a resource map to find where obsidian is. Which I never said I didn't know.

Obsidian can be found in either mountains or caves. Neither of which is safe for a character of your level. I say either wait until you can fly, and head for the volcano or the blue obelisk. Careful though those regions have some pretty extreme temperatures so be sure to dress accordingly. Don't bother with the caves unless you have either a megatherium or a powerful firearm... Preferably both.

OK thank you for a reasonable answer.

There is one place that is (relatively) safe. If you stand on the beach of the default spawn isthmus (the little hang nail that sticks out of the middle toe of the footpaw) facing east, the mountain just across the water has obsidian. Go across the water to where the lootdrop comes down and turn left and go up the mountain. It's more dangerous than the beach but it's the safest place to find obsidian.

Where is your base located?
there is obsidian in various places. But some are easier or maybe closer to you.

Trikes aren't exactly known for climbing, or speed... or Stamina. it can be done, but it will be a LONG haul unless you live somewhere nearby

But they will keep you alive while hauling back resources at low levels.

That's a cave?
