How to tame a Troodon:

Whitey - "The Master builder" has sort of perfected his Troodon :taz:taming.

Ingredients:
-Lots and lots of guts (yours and the newly born animals :dummy: you want to sacrifice)
-1 taming boat or similar structure;
-Nighttime;
-A shield;
-Add a little bit of honey to season things a bit, especially the newly born;
-1 Tribemember who's nuts and is willing to die for the cause (in other words, me).

Step 1: Find a decent level Troodon :taz:
Step 2: Ask a friendly tribemember if you can use his tamingboat and "experience" of luring creatures in said tamingboat.
Step 3: Let tribemember shoot the Troodon with a dart and see him run for his life towards the tamingboat. Hopefully he'll get out in time, otherwise he dead.
Step 4: If the Troodon is in the boat, enjoy sailing a bit over the lovely rivers of Ark back towards a base :racing:. Preferably the tribemembers one because if things get messed up, better do it at his base.
Step 5: Start breeding up the last part of the newly borns :dummy: you want to hatch (T-rex or Spino or something similar).
Step 6: Make the newly born follow you into the taming boat and make sure you have your shield equipped to dodge the attacks of the Troodon
Step 7: Get into a corner with the newly born next to you, drop a bit of honey so the Troodon might attack. :learn:
Step 7a: If the Troodon doesn't attack, ask the tribemember to drop some honey and or his/her personality to help out by standing infront of the newly born. :byesad:
Step 8: If it works, rince and repeat with the newly borns untill the Troodon is tamed. :clap::thumbsup::coolio::cheers:

Anyway, good fun Whitey, it got a little bit to late but we managed to get the other one done also.
Now lets start breeding Troodons and maybe try and find a higher one? :blink::g:

:dmw::beer:

You make it sound so easy

It was fun and frustrating in equal measures but we got there and the breeding has begun (think we have 6 or 7 now)!

Thanks for your help and sacrifice(s)

Well done, guys. I wouldn't have had the patience you both exhibited in getting those tames done. Superb joint effort.

So what can be done with tamed Troodons?

Well played all, now up for the next few steps.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]4147[/ATTACH]
So start making ammo for your favorite gun ingame.

We could use a few more players probably for next time, so who's up it?

[sulky_uk]

looks really nice when spinning up. Sorry about butting in on comms last night peeps, must remember to listen.....

[Penfold]

No probs. TBH I think I was doing it a little as well.

Yes, really exciting getting to a stage never before achieved. Look forward to next Sunday when we can start making stuff.

This week I'll logon as much as possible to renew the Rex pack. If I'm struggling with time I'll put the eggs in the fridge. They're not going to be imprinted so raising isn't really an issue. I know Duv has been collecting artifacts and Oldie has done the coding so we'll have a bash next week.

ALL TO DO PLEASE WHERE POSS: We may have a go at the Monkey for which guns are needed. JAS has suggested the fabricated pistol as it has a good DPS - although the choice is yours. Please log on if you can, go to metal mountain and make one (using blueprint) with a couple hundred ammo.

[sulky_uk]

Made 700 simple rifle bullets this morning, the old fashioned way as well, no industrial stiff. hilltop was bare of trees/stone and metal. should have about 1000 charcoal ready this afternoon, so ill hopefully do a couple of hundred more , and with what oldie made last night, thats the simple rifle bullets taken care off.

[Penfold]

I've got about 1000 or so advanced bullets for fabricated Pistols. Just need to make a couple at the Library using the best blueprint.

This will mean I have spare should anyone want / need them.

[Penfold]

Jas, where are you getting your DPS Info from? It'd be good to see.

I know Oldie/Sulky are going Longnecks which are great from a single shot but I appreciate less so on a DPS.

The fabricated pistol is a lot less but fast rate of fire so it's all a balancing act.

Why aren't we going with Fabricated Sniper Rifles for example? Looks like a primitive one will outperform a fabricated pistol even with it's addedd %age. if guns also only do 70% damage to animals then we're almost better just using the ascendant or mastercraft compound bow or even crossbows ??

You have more experience with this from WoW so help would be appreciated.

This is the raw damage chart which doesn't account for rate of fire and therefore DPS. It also doesn't account for our blueprinted boosted weapons.

hmm server isnt showing on my list, is it down?

[sulky_uk]

its alive again

[sulky_uk]

ok so 950 simple bullets plus what oldie made, should be enough for us both, plus anyone else who wants to use longneck

[Whitey]

If you are using the cold metal base at blue then please turn off the generator before you leave.  I'm really finding it hard to keep everything in fuel as it is being used at a much faster rate that it used to be.
