If you want to survive the unforgiving world filled with dinosaurs calledArk: Survival Ascended, you’ll have to learn how the crafting mechanic works. You’ll find plenty of raw resources all around the world, but it’s important to learn how to use these resources and craft essential survival items.
For example, you’re able to’t imagine surviving in this world without a weapon to defend yourself and some tools to help you tame various dinosaurs. All these and a bunch of other items can be acquired through the beautifully designed crafting system of the game.
How To Unlock Crafting Items
If you want to start crafting items in Ark: Survival Ascended,you’ll first have to unlock their blueprint in the Engram section. you’re able to find this section by heading over to your inventory and clicking the icon on the right side of the bag icon at the top. This will also display the amount of Engram points you currently have.
you’re able to gain Engram points by leveling up, andyou’ll gain far more points if your difficulty is lesser. These points can be used to unlock all the items, but you’ll have to reach a certain level to unlock these items as well. For example, you can’t unlock an item on level 70 until you reach the level even if you have enough points.
How To Craft Items
Once you have the Engram of a certain item unlocked, you can head back to your inventory and choose the Crafting section on the left side. This willshow all your unlocked Engrams that can be crafted without the use of another item. However, items that require other structures like Smithy won’t be shown here.
Hover over the items to learn the resources you need for them. Once you have the resources, theglow in the item’s background will be much more and you may easily craft it. Keep in mind that your character can only walk while you’re crafting something, so ensure that you’re in a safe location.
When you’re crafting multiple items, the resources foreach item are taken when they start getting crafted.
If these resources go away from your inventory before these items get crafted, the queue will cancel.
If you created the item through your inventory, you’ll find it there. However, theitems created in other structures will be found in the inventories of those structures. You can also repair items like a Pickaxe or Armor by using a few items that you used for crafting them.
