such a good ark youtuber, so well edited and simple to follow, keep the amazing work up!

[@pterafier]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the kind words :)

[@mikestarbuck6668]

This is a great series. I have just over 600 hours in Ark, but I really love the refreshing, beneficial, and smooth way that you presented this information. While I don’t personally believe that new players to Ark should note run (as all advancements can be a tad overwhelming at first), this is SUPER helpful for those of us that just want a refresh

[@pterafier]

Thank you! Very well said

[@NickNChill105]

I appreciate what your doing for the ark community keep grinding brother

[@pterafier]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying

[@Blo0ody_M8]

Just do the normal Note-run and than go for killing Spinos on Ext. or going for a Swap-cave-run on the Island. Ez 100+ on the first day of every wipe.

[@777crig]

Yea but in official how are supposed to start the game with a gps and weapons to use right after the note run? Do you make a base and get to metal b4 the run? You dont have time to farm that adter the run

[@Blo0ody_M8]

@@777crig idk what do you want. I'm sorry

[@soulstealer167]

@@Blo0ody_M8 he’s saying that you wouldn’t start with weapons on offical so if you did the note run you would have to be atleast lvl 40 with weapons so you could kill the Spinos and do the cave run

[@natemonsevais9311]

It’s great to see you growing man. You really deserve it. 👍

[@pterafier]

Thank you!

[@telluriananima]

Man a few days ago I was looking for just this. Couldn't find any KZbinr as precise, non of them show it in the map and since I don't have the gps yet it's hard to follow. You show the map and are very specific explaining and showing and describing the surrounding area. Exactly what I needed! and that's why you're my favorite Ark KZbinr, thank you!!

[@pterafier]

Amazing! I was worried this wasn't as concise as it could be so I'm glad it helped!

[@ninachan9997]

I haven't played in almost a year and I needed a refresher course and this is perfect!!! ❤

Again, really great tips! But in the note run, you did miss one or two notes in that area

[@stratixfinance]

[@deadcrow5260]

You are the best tutorial KZbinr I've seen since forever keep up the good work

[@thetrainiscool_7827]

A good method I used to get a good amount of xp is to go on valguero and just farm the ic wvyverns near the trench. Though this is a strategy you only use effectively at higher levels. If you have a rock drake it helps a lot since you can shoot the wyverns safely on the back of the drake.

[@maxhughes8815]

As a tip, If you have the exp-buff you can (when you have the ressources) build boats, Lots of boats. They also give grate exp even you didnt have the buff.

[@mohammadal-khatib98]

At 4:34 I took that one mid swamp yesterday, armed with 4 lv30+ raptors, fought of 2 titanoboas and some crocks for sure, scared the shit outta me, i just need two more lvls to be vibing and taking it slowly, 2 more lvls to get to lv38

[@chimkitendi9709]

Notes are really good on aberration as well. Combine with a flier and pick a lystro. Not on ab because no fliers on ab but you get the point.

[@nobo4753]

[@pterafier]

Definitely! Playing extinction on stream tonight so ill have some tutorials out for it later :)

[@rapid4110]

You need to get the tek note second and you'll get level 75 from the west note run

When you grab a 4x note you can get extra xp from the regular ones

[@pukitaki]

Dude, you forgot to mention tribe poop parties or shit-fests Drop a deuce and get an XP bonus. Do it as a group while crafting and multiply the bonuses exponentially. I went from LVL 20-ish to 70 in about 20 minutes. And there were just 4 of us.

[@Midget522]

On the second note run there is actually two notes you can add in

[@thedotneedsme4023]

Cheers for the epilepsy warning👍🏾 i dont have it, but I always worry about those who do.

[@VuIcanNC]

When your doing your not run don’t grab the tek note at the beginning due to the fact that it gives you 3 tek notes in the end when you run swamp cave. In one day I was able to hit 101 on Xbox small tribes as a solo

[@iamrusscell8766]

Me: *Trying to find the notes* Raptors: Well Hello, Nice to see you here.

[@viciousinu4001]

well, i put in over 160 hours and then erased my game on accident. i was lvl 104 last i checked. so now even though my map stayed open and my achievements unlocked thankfully, to get back where i was asap im doing a small note run just to get me started faster.

[@gsviny8977]

thanks

[@373toma]

Hello,i dont know if you know that but honestly the best way for get 100 or 155 lvl is combined basic extinction explorer note+"one who waits"x4 xp note+toilet+hesperonis gold egg and kill baby giga.Thats the only way i ve found for reach lvl 155.Purple drop xp are not enough at lvl 140_145.At this level this is "A PAIN" to reach more xp with basic tips.Level 100 is doable in few minutes,but lvl 155 is a other story :)

Ooops i just forget the x2 XP recipe for make the perfect xp farm system,sorry for that :)

[@MCMUNKEYY]

I just got to level 97 I'm so happy i need to tame a quetzal now lol

I think you should do a video about pvp kits like plant z, battery heavy, pocket giga's or pocket dinos,beer and brews,and weapons like pump shotgun and fabby explain what they do and even explain what armor you need like flak or riot flak is better for turrets and riot is better for mounted pvp and ground pvp

Btw i have look other video tips you do,and i have not see you talk about the tek enough.Tek item like the armor or tek skiff is the ultimate farming system meta in the game "in pve".Not enough people know about BIG THINGS who are extremly helpfull for farm quickly.Like exemple with tek armor you can carry full stack metal ingots on yourself for transfert on another server or transfert all resource quickly in forges inventory,this only one tip make just the game a loooot of easier to play and not annoying.Another exemple is tek skiff with magmasaur,you farm more 200 metal slot in 5 min on aberration with these stuff.there is A LOOOOT of big tips like this with tek,and a good ark experience of course :).People have to know all theses big tips about endgame item

[@GeoMetalStar]

Craft and demolish (to recycle half the materials) a bunch of small wooden storage chests while you have the XP buff... you will level fast... rafts are also massive XP, but you don't regain any materials when you scuttle them.

[@viralshark]

I can get to 76 on official servers in like 6 minutes using a much shorter single route. Notes also aren't worth as much XP at higher levels. Get to 76, then do whatever you like to get to 82, make the gear for swamp cave, tame a decent level mega, THEN hit the other notes, then grab 2 more 4x notes, then run the cave.... should get you to 100 without a broth.
