17 Beginner Tips for Ark Survival Ascended! Easy Beginners Guide for ASA!!!

yo guys what is up it's teach here coming at you again with another video over on Ark survival ascended and I wanted to make something for all of you new players and maybe even some of you more advanced players with little tips 17 of them that are going to give you a huge Advantage especially when you first start out in Ark survival ascended now why is it something that I should be someone that you could even think about listening to I never claimed to know everything about this game but I have over 10,000 hours in Arc survival evolved and I have basically played Arc survival since it came out non-stop learning all the little tricks tools of the trade all kinds of stuff so that is why I feel like I got some good tips for you so 17 of them coming right at you and if you don't mind smash that like button leave a comment below for the algorithm and then consider subbing to the channel I've got a whole bunch of helpful content that you hopefully will enjoy but other than that let's get started so let's go ahead and get started with the first tip now your first 10 levels when you level your character just so you know you will click on this icon right right here and that icon is going to raise your character stats the most important levels to start out from Level 1 to level 10 are going to be based inside of weight the reason you want to increase weight is everything in the game has a base weight that kind of gets larger and larger the more you carry it now especially early game it doesn't feel like it but berries and then picking up thatch on the beach picking up fiber picking up Stones picking up all that stuff is going to weigh you down rapidly and having 10 extra points in weight will jump you from 100 points in weight to 200 points in weight giving you double the carrying capacity and preventing you from being encumbered which is going to slow you down exponentially as you get more and more weight inside of your inventory slowing you down is never a good thing because that means that you can get caught by creatures like Raptors and dilophosaurs so your first 10 levels should always be to increase your weight and then after that do it however you wish but the first 10 levels I always put into weight all right here is my next tip right off the bat you can see see it in my hand now the easiest thing in Ark to do is to forget that it's so important to have a large source of warmth now first off if you do not have clothes on your body cloth is incredibly easy to make and can be made at level three and provides you a massive ability to warm yourself however it's also a huge boost to have a torch out in your inventory that torch provides you a source of warmth and it increases your insulation now in order to check your insulation you just go into your character's inventory and you can see You' got a a cold resist and then a heat resist you saw that my cold resist changed based on me having that torch out so there's actually a convenient thing that you can do now if you take this torch and I put it in my hot bar right so what happens as soon as I put it in my hot bar I can go ahead and click right click on this thing and it places it inside of my belt now you can see it kind of places it in a funny location however that's going to keep a permanent boost to my cold resist notice how that went up a ton making it so early game in Arc you have a easy easy access to prevent yourself from dying because one of the hardest things in early Arc is to survive the elements so having that easy access to like basically double your um hypothermic insulation or I guess now it's called cold resist is a huge Advantage for you so having that torch in your belt and you can leave it there constantly and then remake it and put it right back in there when it starts getting low on its durability so that is a huge tip all right tip number three is one that is kind of shocking you might not anticipate it there's a lot of dinos inside of Ark that give you a lot of perks that you don't realize are insanely powerful right so one of the earliest things that's hard to do inside of Ark is to survive the weather we talked about that in the second tip however there is a creature that essentially negates all of that and that is the Otter Otter are one of the most valuable things inside of Ark because if you remember from that tip two we had a small hypothermic insulation and hyperthermic insulation if you look at the inventory when you get an otter it instantly goes up over 150 points in cold resist and then it increases your heat resist as well and then also if you activate the Otter's melee increase the melee when it levels up it's going to increase both your heat and your cold resistance which is going to prevent your character from having any problems early game and save you a lot of trouble from dying over and over and over again benefit again you can swim in the water with a creature and Otter and it's not going to have any problems so that a huge Advantage Plus otters even though you might not recognize this if you throw them in the water they will hunt down any fish kill them bring them back to you and give you silica pearls or black pearls as a reward for you so find yourself a nice little pool where the Otters tend to spawn anyways throw them in the water when you get nearby if you can find a fish and they will instakill it bring it back to you and give you some early game resources very nice A little tip for early game all right the next thing that you need to know about is your hot bar setup now if you look at the bottom of my screen you can see I have mine numbered one through five and then I use the arrow keys as well for my hot bar now which your hot bar is is an instant way to get out a weapon without having to go into your inventory however Ark survival ascended also has a hidden hot bar if you hold for most people it's going to be your Q for me it I've set it to my Z it'll bring you up a hot bar with hidden options now your first option that first row of stuff is going to be things that are useful and consumable or that you can use right so these are usable things so berries uh binoculars things like uh weapons will go in there and that's something that's very useful to use and you can activate those by hitting left or right in order to change those and you can switch between them pretty rapidly now the next one if you cycle through those windows is going to give you access to your placeables placeables being things like foundations PES being things like uh gateways anything like that it's going to give you a hot bar of your usable thing things now if you hold Z it'll go back to your regular hot bar and you can switch between the two of them rather quickly now that is something that was added in Arc survival ascended so a lot of people are still learning that that's even a thing so hopefully this little tip is something you take advantage of early so you don't waste your resource space in your regular hot bar by putting consumables in it just go to your second hot bar and then it'll be there for you waiting handily all right guys my next tip is actually pretty easy in the wild now you will actually find two different types of creatures you will find the fully grown adult creatures and sometimes if you look nearby with them you will find baby creatures that happen to be nearby and you can see that the baby creatures exist they are much smaller and then you can see that they have some sort of little nursing thing directly above them right so you can see that little pacifier looking object that pacifier looking object means that that parent is directly related to this one so you either need to get rid of the parent or tame the parent and it will give you the option to claim this juvenile triceratops or whatever creature you want you will save yourself a ton of time taming and by the way you get huge boosts for raising a baby dinosaur instead of just actually knocking one out and taming it so as soon as you take out the parent nearby you should be able to walk up and hit e on these things and then you should be able to claim them now claiming them is going to provide you with a large amount of um boost over just taming a wild one a tamed Wild One will not give you an imprint bonus whereas actually getting a baby and growing it up is going to give you a massive imprint bonus on top of it and all you have to do is hit e on the actual baby dyo as soon as you have taken out the parent dyo now you can find almost any creature in the entire game in the baby dyo stage you just have to run around and look if you see them do your best to take out the parent dyo and it's a huge boost to be able to imprint on a baby dinosaur instead of just knocking one out and forcing food down a throat all right guys my sixth tip that is going to help you out a massive amount and it's one of those things that early Arc get very difficult to accept but it's not a big deal you might as well just start a kill tracker for yourself because the number of times that you were going to die in game from things that you did not expect did not anticipate or can't do anything about frankly is massive a lot of people get really upset when they die inside of Arc they'll do something stupid like jump off something it seems like it's not going to cause damage and then you get insta- killed or you just happen to turn around a corner and there's a raptor staring you in the eyes and he's like let's play a game and you don't want to but he decides to anyways so you are going to die a lot do not worry about it and speaking of dying in Ark there is a new feature inside of Ark survival ascended that if you get stuck or having a problem if you hover over your specimen implant you can see that there's a respawn available in countdown timer if you hit e or you can right click and then click respawn you will respawn and allow yourself to move to the nearest bed or nearest spawn location this is very useful if you get stuck or something goes wrong in that regard so accept that this game is going to cause a lot of deaths and move on from it all right guys the next tip on the list is number seven this is important for any player whether you are new or experienced or anything the most important thing to know where they are on the map not always claiming them by the way is to know where Explorer notes are now Explorer notes are something that you can access by going into your inventory and hovering over the Explorer note option and you can see that there are are tons of them in the game now the ones that are available right now just so you can see them there are four sets on the island meaning that you can get over 100 give or take uh so you can see 31 in each one so it's like what 120 130 per map and what they do is they give you an immediate level boost and they multiply your level experience earned by either two or four and those will combine together to give you times eight experience for when you're doing things on the island so if you plan on going into a cave and you want to get a whole bunch of experience with a dinosaur go ahead and grab an Explorer note by just walking up to it they look like this right they will activate as soon as you're nearby and then the lower right side of your screen you will see a explore XP time so it will give you a buff that you can look at in here and you can see I get quadruple XP for this one quadruple XP for 580 more seconds this is a massive thing if you're going to start crafting things let's say I wanted to make a raft or anything instead of just getting the 1X experience I'm going to get four times that experience for finding this XP bonus and that's a massive helper especially early game when you're looking to level up quickly all right guys this is the next tip for you tip number eight all early resources can be found near the water a lot of people don't realize this but if you look up into the land you can see the access to trees obviously if you were to go into your inventory and have access to a pick and then you also want a metal Hatchet that is the best things that you can use early game you can upgrade to those pretty easily and they make a massive difference over for having stone tools but instead of just being have access to stone wood and thatch and fiber which you can get on land if you go into the water you can actually get an insane amount of Flint as well as metal you just have to find some Coral locations and they look like little round objects in the ocean and they you can Harvest these in order to get a ton of Flint from some of them and then if you managed to find a blue one you will not only get metal but you will get access to oil as well so you can see that I can get metal oil all kinds of stuff from this uh ocean just by going into it and this is on 1X by the way so you can just go in the water get yourself access to some quick metal without much of an issue you don't even need a creature and I've already got some metal and all those more difficult resources to gather just by going into the water now it's super easy to be able to do this and you just have to make sure you check out your oxygen and then that weight if you're checking and remember those first 10 levels if you pump those into a weight this is where that starts to matter so you can start harvesting the creature I guess the resources in the sea without using a creature at all free metal free Flint free everything that you need without having to go up a mountain at all so the resources of the sea right off the shore that is a huge advantage that has been introduced in Ark survival ascended and yeah pretty useful all right the next tip guys yes it is nice to be able to harvest your own resources using a pick or using a hatchet however one of the most important things and the point of this game entirely is to get dinosaurs so you want to be able to use these dinosaurs to harvest things and the reason is is that Simply Having a dinosaur and using it as a resource gatherer will give you three times the amount of resources that you could have possibly gotten on your own each dinosaur has a special ability and you want to learn what those special abilities are for example an anky can go under the water just like this and get access you can see these blue nodes down here right to an insane amount of early metal and early uh oil without ever having to leave Shore I mean without having to go far from Shore and it will harvest things much faster than you can possibly Harvest it and by the way they will also Harvest berries for you should you actually want them to if you go on to land so pretty easy to access just generic Tams and get some early resources it's much faster than using any form of uh your hand because you can see that I was harvesting for a little while got 27 he got 125 or 145 oil and metal so tames are your best friend friend you want to tame as many as you can to make the tasks that you have in Ark easier and more fun to take care of all right next up on my list guys just so you can see one of the most important steps inside of Arc and my 10th tip is Flyers are one of the best things that you can do whether it's early mid or late game in order to give yourself access to the skies Flyers like the Pteranodon are your best early game in even late game mount for picking people off of tames because of their speed they are one of the best dinosaurs in the entire game however they lack weight right so because they have some stats that allow them to be very quick their weight is quite terrible so they are not a good transport bird so you need to have multiple types of Flyers when you're going into the sky including the argentavis who has a much better weight value and overall stats but are insanely slow so one of the best things that you can do is vary the amount of dinosaurs you have including the Flyers Flyers are very important and yes they will give you access to being able to check out different areas but you want to make sure you have different types of Flyers as you're going through the sky last thing I'll say about Flyers is if you are holding the Sprint command you drain exponentially more stamina than you would by just normally flying so be very careful about that and keep an eye on your stamina because you're going to need to land a little bit or you will get knocked out of the sky so make sure you're cautious of that when it comes to Flyers all right guys my 11th tip is they have totally reworked how loot crates work inside of Art AR almost every single Loot Crate that you go up to now is going to be worth your time even a low level what you would consider to be right here a low level green Loot Crate can have some very nice loot inside of it with saddles that are insanely High blueprints that are going to make your day or weapons that could be very useful for you overall including anything from raw resources so all of those are very useful you should always get it even if it's a white drop or green drop or a blue drop the lowest three sometimes they have crazy see crazy things inside of them now the next thing you want to be aware of is if a drop has a ring around it that means you have double loot inside of it so when you see a no matter what white drop or not you should always get the drops that have rings around them because double loot increases your quality that you're going to get by two times so always pick up every single Loot Crate they're very valuable they do have level caps but I promise if they're a little bit out of your way they're always worth your time all right my next tip this is the 12th tip using R to change weapon attachments you are going to start getting to the point in this game where you got multiple things that you can do with an individual weapon whether that be a crossbow and shooting a normal Arrow versus a Tran Arrow versus a zipline versus a grappling hook or if you're using a long neck and using your uh shocking Dart your tranquilizer dart or your just generic ammo there's a new feature inside of Arc survival ascended that is going to allow you to basically do that while you're still on the move if you hold R you are going to have the option what is called your wheel or if you want to think of it that way it's Hot Wheel that allows you to quickly switch to different types of ammo as you are on the Move now learning how to do this is very important because if you're being chased by something you can simply do this on the run while you're moving and that is a big factor right so there are also mods that use this this wheel and using that wheel is going to add you a whole bunch of functionality that is going to make your life much easier you can also access your tames actual inventory that are on your shoulders when you inevitably get tames on your shoulders like we talked about with with the otter earlier you can access its inventory without actually Throwing It Off Your Shoulder a huge update for Ark all right guys my 13th tip for your early game and beginner parts of Arc one of the most valuable things that you can get in the entire game is blueprints blueprints are going to increase your ability to play the game because they're going to do a couple of things for you one blueprints always give you an opportunity to make higher level gear whether that's a weapon armor saddle anything it's always going to have more statistics if you use a blueprint now blueprints can also be adjusted if I increase my overall crafting skill see how my crafting skill is 1,140 because of that I am able to make higher level blueprints than I even see available right so this is a 53 armor 151 durability blueprint however I can make it even higher you can see 69 armor hey hey and then 196 durability I am able to do that because by increasing my crafting skill I get what you see on top of the screen a crafted skill bonus and using a blueprint will allow you to make better items overall and better items are incredibly important because by putting something like this on just to give you a comparison you can see 25 durability 10 armor 151 durability and 53 armor both of those stats are incredibly important and you're going to get a random roll every time you make it but the better you can get on your char the better off you are durability means how many times you can get hit without your clothing breaking and then your armor is going to be your reduced damage so 72 armor is very good every time I get hit in that foot region I'm going to take a reduction of damage of incoming stuff massive massive things and blueprints are super valuable for that reason cuz you can craft things higher than anything was ever available before make sure you collect all the blueprints you can and store them inside of your blueprint closet all right tip number number 14 this is one that is probably one of the most useful ones that is kind of an advanced level Stat or an advanced level thing that you use and this is called your mind wipe tonic you will learn how to make these recipes I'm not going to tell you how cuz you have to learn for yourself but you will learn them throughout the game just by getting recipes now once you make a mind wipe tonic and eat it it will reset all of your engrams and all of your stats so you can see that you go back to being level one and all of your engrams go back to being unlearned now this is great if you want to reset your points available which means that you want to learn some new engrams or if you want to reset how your character works this is great to do because there's a couple of valuable things that you can do by resetting your stats one if you increase your crafting skill you increase the ability to make better loot from blueprints or let's say you want to have a heavy character that can carry 99,999 whatever it is weight you can always change how your character is depending on the different stats that you want right there are some very valuable stats across the board no matter how you look at it it's not really a wrong way to do this there are certain things that work better health tends to be one of the metastats that people like to use weight tends to be a metastat that people like to use because endgame it can be like some of the stuff you're carrying around is very heavy for what's called your kit and that is very useful for having mind wipes available is one of the most important things that you can use my next tip for you guys basically this is the easy one that we kind of brought up earlier so when you have two creatures that are directly next to each other you want to make sure you always have the ability to breed a new dinosaur because when you raise a baby dinosaur from zero to 100% you're going to get what's called an imprinting bonus and that imprinting bonus is going to give you an increased stat capability just so you can see it's going to increase the health it's going to increase the food and it's going to increase the overall melee damage and a bunch of other statistics to show you what I mean by that I'm going to show you this guy right here so here is all of his stats 242 for his melee and then if I if I give him an imprint quality that is equal to mine you can see it goes up to 289 per. he increases all of his stats across the board by about 10 to 15% and it's going to make your dinos overall better so having dinos that you raise from 0% to 100% is going to give you better overall dinos and that is how you in the long run of things get dinos that are broken and you can start learning how to do mutations and that's very Advanced far level stuff but every time you get the chance all I'm trying to say tame the wild baby dinos or try and have eggs and baby dinos of your own because that imprinted bonus also passes on so as soon as I ride this creature I get a increased stats as well for riding this creature it does more damage and it takes less damage incoming and it used to be a movement speed boost but that got gotten rid of so imprinted dinos are much more important all right my 16th thing that's going to help you out and this one doesn't seem like it might be very useful but it is so if you look in the bottom right of my screen you can see that my food is slightly lit up more than the rest of my stuff and my uh my health my Stam and all that stuff that means your character has to poop now I know that sounds weird but if your character has to poop it's going to drain your food faster so what you want to do tap your plus button your character will poop and it will get rid of that debuff and that debuff will allow you to have normal food drop if you do not have that it's going to cause problems with your character I know that seems weird it's a simple little thing but pooping will prevent you in the long run from wasting stamina wasting food wasting your stats so make sure you poop when you get your get your get a chance to anytime that food icon in the lower right of your screen actually lights up all right guys my 17th and final tip for you is this one is more of a justifying something being okay with you so one of the most important things you can do in this game is use the entire map to your advantage some people say that the one thing you want to do is only have one base and that's just completely wrong Ark is a beautiful game with lots of different biomes lots of different abilities on lots of different creatures what you want to do is have as many bases as your heart can because it's very useful to be able to have different beds when you spawn into different regions so if you have a base close by it means that you don't have to go very far if you die I'm just going to show you an example of what I mean if I have a base on top of this hill and I die across the map I'm going to have to run the entire way across the map or hope that I can get close in order to get my stuff back however if you have a base nearby let's say I've got a base in Redwoods here or I've got a base over there on the mountain that's going to save me a ton of time from having to you know run all over the place having small outposts all over the map one of the most valuable things whether you're playing PVP PVE any mode having beds anywhere at any point in time is incredibly useful for any purpose mostly because this map is massive and you can instantly travel by simply spawning in a bed whereas running across it is going to take you many hours to try and run from point A to point B on the end of the map even flying across the map using one of the faster tames is going to take you 5 or 10 minutes to get across the map so make sure that you have beds all over the place because the map is amazing Arin is an awesome game lots of different features and you need to make sure that you enjoy the game that you want to enjoy in the way you want to enjoy it now all of those are important things these are 17 uh tips that will help you get better at ARK yes there are a lot of tips and there are hundreds of things there are thousands of small things that will help you that you will learn along your your journey and Arc but that's the fun of the game you are going to learn the things that you enjoy doing the ways that you enjoy doing it and that is why Ark is such a great game now these tips are awesome hopefully they help you out if you don't mind again smash that like button leave a comment below for the algorithm and consider subbing to the channel but other than that teach [Music] out
