The most valuable resource in Ark

[Brother Booker]

what is you answer?

Mine is people .... Good people ... People u add on steam and can count on. People u just meet that show a generous helping hand and give u blueprints and gear. People u go to hell and back with to save from a raid. People that u log off and come back 2 days later to see they have double layered ur walls with no preconceptions about it ;) good people and politics run ark the same as bad people and trolls

As far as physical materials of course it depends on what u need at the time but for me I still get the most excited when I get an ass load of obsid ;) u?

Pearls are easily gotten In bulk just gotta know how (quick travelling is the secret 3k pearls in 20 minutes (spread ovet the day). Cp is more time consuming.

gunpowder all we ever short on have 2 vaults full of everything else at all times as stock

EDIT:- this is on official server

None of it is really very hard to get anymore, obviously varying from server to server and where people build, block or whatever.

Take a sea creature with a decent weight and swim along the coast of the snow biome gathering pearls, 5-600 easily, then gather oil just from the easy to reach rocks on the way back, 800-1000 with a decent pick. Plus of course dung beetles make oil by the bucket liad for free. Crystals are everywhere, rare mushrooms and rare flowers really need to be renamed as a jaunt through the swamp yields hundreds of both along with more PSX seeds than you could possibly use. I dump obsidian to keep weight down or turn it into trophy bases for the XP. Kibble and eggs will always command a premium for those who are yet to establish themselves, but after a point becomes just another thing to be swimming in.

Depending on what you are building, but most of the time Cementing paste is one of these resources.

Even speed cave hoping takes awhile when you need over 25K pearls (damn expensive saddles) CP is easy when you get the right farm going.

tbh. i try and never have less than 50cementing paste.
i don't use it for much yet, but, i sell it to people who do need it (buying dinos, building metal structures, etc) for things i do need.

cp pearls is but ur right about fert eggs. gotta get a good tame or 2 thru to get some good fert eggs and seeing as alot of 120 kibble tames sometimes look worse than a 100 kibble tame really need some luck

[MarkusMG]

actually forgot the most valuable: very good blueprints

[Brother Booker]

Guys I'm blown away with the response to this! Thus far general consensus is CP which I couldn't agree with more ;)

Let's here CP farming tactics peeps :D

Spino + frog enter swamp - kill medium-large Dino - wait for mag n bugs to swarm - one shot kill with spino - clean up with frog

???????

Profit!
