What dino you use to get silicon pearls, oil, crystals?

[Lightforce]

Because sharks disapear currently from time to time, seems to be a bug.
A Sarco dies really quick when there 2,3 sharks attack.

If you wanna fight with the sharks, megalodon, spino, sarco is the option. However, if you want to 'quickly' run away from them, tame ichty as they are sooo fast like a jet ski!

[TheCrusader]

usally people use megladons cause they are fast by the new dolaphin type one is faster so id use that cause you can outrun the sharks easy,although never been diving so idk how caves are
also crystals are now on mountains so i go for that.

Megalodon is buged, they disapear from time to time or suddenly die without reason under water.
There is no other dino that could be used to farm silicon, oil or crystals?

i have a 77 Megalodon for this.. but i was very surprised when i met to Plesios... they nearly killed my Mega as they take a lot damage till they go down and hit also very hard to my surprise. Shouldnt they be friendly as long we dont attack them????

I use sarcos - upped they speed a bit, and don't get into shark fights. Fighting a group of sharks is like fighting a group of raptors on foot when your lvl 9 - best to be avoided unless you can stack the odds in your favor.

I don't use dinos. A pal and I have plenty of oxygen and stamina to wander the ocean floor for a while.

Huh. My Sarco always held up well.
My problem was that no matter what I put him on (besides passive, you never go full passive in the ocean) everytime I hopped off to grab pearls or oil, he'd go off and do his own thing leaving me stranded.

Sometimes I made it back to him, other times, I was fishfood.

The dolphins are a nice balance between Megalodons and the other ones (that can go on land, like Sarco, Turtle and Spino). It's naturally fast, can outmanuver a shark, has a higher melee than you'd expect, and a decent carry weight. Low HP though. Can nail single high level sharks, but doesn't fare well versus packs.

If you're willing to sacrifice weight (and keep the 250ish they have around level 40/50) you can boost melee to 500% and HP to around 1k.

Typically, i'd say tame a fleet of em, and take them all when you go out, but their pathing is a little wonky. Half the time they follow, half the time they don't. I've noticed more the latter when other dolphins are around. Like they'd rather sit there and socialize than do as you want them to.

Ok, we used this tactic, too. Ok, seems to be, that we have to wait, that the megalodons not bugged anymore...and taking the risk, to be very fare down under water and that the megalodon than die... mostly you not make it back to get air and than you die...

Thx for the answers.

Sarco really isn't bad, just has a weakness to his sides and a slow turn rate. Pair that with lacking an AoE (his attack is directly at his snout, where you'd expect it to be) and you have issues versus packs.

I've even had a raptor nearly kill one, because he came from the side and kept pushing me back everytime I tried to turn to face him.

I do think that Sarcos are one of the most balanced dinos ingame. Slow on land, open to attacks from most directions and has and ok health and bite to it. So if you mess up, you get to pay for it. In the water how ever (after the "sarco fix") they are faster and more of threat, no longer a easy kill and they will follow you where ever you go.

As a tamed dino they are awesome, unless you get them badly outnumbered in and out of the water. They have the turning ability of a minor planet, but they bite can take out any sea dino in a one on one biting match. They don't bug out in underwater caves, but they seem to be - at times at least - a bit to willing to take on fights against anything that agrroes them. They don't try to fly away like "sharks" and "dolphins". Biggest problem seems to be gate issues. They seem to fit dino gates, but reall needs behemoth.

Definitely an Icthy. They're easy to tame, cute, and a heck of a lot of fun to ride. Aside from the fact they can dive, they feel a bit like a Jet-Ski. They're extremely fast near the surface, I would guess hitting 60-70 KPH.

Just be careful, make sure you've got a sea-pen with a gate or else your Icthy is going to get munched by a Mega, probably within minutes.

The new dolphin like dino totaly wrecks sharks, it moves so fast that you can stick to thier flanks and tails and never get hit, I tamed a level 12 on and got jumped by 2 sharks soon as I hit deep water they were lvl 50 and 35, I killed both without a scratch to me, takes a while, their damage is crappy but they do great.

Problem with spino is once you dismount, he shoots to the surface for air.

If you are playing on "The Centre" map you do not need a dino to get Silica Pearls, if you go to the South Jungle and look in all of the rivers you can see them at the bottom, the rivers are about twenty meters deep so it is easy to quickly swim down and grab the pearls.

There was no Center map when this question was asked one year ago.
