Element is one of the most useful resources for creating tek replicators in Ark Aberration. But unlike other resources, it cannot be farmed at different locations or obtained from defeating bosses. This means you cannot find an element in Ark Aberration; instead, you can create it in the charge node.
To create an element, you need to gather blue, green, and red gems, along with a charge battery, congealed gas ball, and element ore. This guide helps you gather the ingredients and craft the material for Ark Aberration.
Where to Get Green Gems in Ark Aberration?
The green gems are easy to find in the green zone of Mushroom Forest. This region has several locations, including 46.8 Latitude and 27.3 Longitude, 48.8 Latitude and 27.1 Longitude, and 47.7 Latitude and 27.2 Longitude near the radiation zone.
This is the first ingredient you can collect in the early game along the cliffs, and as you go to the higher ledges, you will find a higher concentration of green gems. The most concentrated gem area is at 44.5 Latitude and 29.3 Longitude.
Where to Get Blue Gems in Ark Aberration?
The blue gems can be found in higher concentrations in the Luminous Marshlands in the middle area of the map, mainly at 36.9 Latitude and 52.6 Longitude. You will find the gems near large mushrooms; use a whip to harvest them to stay safe.
Where to Get Red Gems in Ark Aberration?
For the red gems, go to the lowest part of the map in The Overlook at 49.0 Latitude and 49.0 Longitude. You will find the red gems close to the silica pearl and oil. Two spots we found in this area are at 59.2 Latitude and 50.9 Longitude and 60.1 Latitude and 49.7 Latitude.
Where to Get Element Ore in Ark Aberration?
The element ore can be found at the surface on the southwest region of the map. Start with the entrance at 79.1 Latitude and 28.1 Longitude; once you head up, you will find a group of purple-black rocks that you must harvest using a pickaxe to collect the element ore.
Another farming location is at 53.9 Latitude and 47.7 Longitude. Once you get to the location, you will notice a big metal spine in the blue zone; work your way to the bottom until you reach a giant dino skull at 50.3 Latitude and 49.7 Longitude. Enter the skull, and you will find lots of element ore. This is the safest area to farm ores.
The best farming location is at 27.2 Latitude and 62.5 Longitude, a cave on the surface.
How to Collect Congealed Gas Balls in Ark Aberration?
To make congealed gas balls, you first need to find the gas veins. In the northeast region of River Valley, one gas vein is located at 29.1 latitude and 59.9 longitude.
Once found, you need to place a gas collector over it. Now, for the gas collector, your character needs to be at level 40, and you must have the following crafting material to craft it at smithy:
- 60x Cementing Paste
- 40x Crystals
- 75x Metal Ingot
- 20x Red Gems
After placing the gas collector, it will start making the congealed gas balls. To speed up the process, head straight to the Blue Zone in Luminous Marshlands, at 41.9 Latitude and 60.7 Longitude.
From there, you must move to the right side and eat some aquatic mushrooms. Keep moving forward, and you will find some gas veins; place gas collectors there. There are 12 gas veins where you can place gas collectors and get more congealed gas balls.
How to Make Charge Batteries in Ark Aberration?
You can craft charge batteries at Smithy for 22 Engram Points at level 45. You will require the following items as well:
- 20x Congealed Gas Ball
- 10x Metal Ingot
- 4x Crystal
- 15x Polymer
Locate a charge note and place your batteries inside it to charge your batteries. However, you can only place 10 batteries inside the note.
How to Craft Element in Ark Aberration?
After you have gathered all the resources, head straight to the southern end of River Valley and you will find a charging node at 36.3 Latitude and 50 Longitude.
The crafting process will take only 30 seconds, and you will get 3 elements. If you want to craft a lot of elements, simply leave the batteries inside and take the remaining resources out; once the batteries are charged, put back the resources and craft again.
How to Get Element Early Game?
If you’re struggling to get an element no matter what map you are on, the easiest way would be to get it by transferring it off another server. Go to Extinction, have an argentavis and doedicurus, and simply spawn into the sanctuary. There will be a lot of lamp posts, tables, and benches in the area that you can knock down to farm a ton of elements.
Another way to farm element dust is by getting to element veins. There are 3 difficulty element veins that give different amounts of element shards and element dust. Once you collect it, use it to craft element.
