The new Ark Fjordur map offers dozens of promising locations to build a good base. You will, however, need to consider several factors when deciding where to start building.
We focused on safety and resource availability while deciding the 5 best base locations. While food is easily available, water, metal, and oil can be pretty hard to come by and these locations made them accessible.
Considering these factors, we chose the best PvE and PvP gameplay base locations. So, looking at all these factors, we’ll look at the best places to build your base in Ark Fjordur.
Ark Fjordur Base Location #1
Starting with the best location for the base at 08.4 Latitude and 62.6 Longitude in the upper northern portion of the map. Right outside the entrance of this area, you will find Hesperonis, which will give you organic polymer; you will also find tons of metal nodes here.
This area has some prebuilt structures, and the chamber to the right has respawning boxes that give you metal ingot, obsidian, and hard polymer. The pool in the middle of this area has silica pearls.
Ark Fjordur Base Location #2
For the next base location, head to 30.6 Latitude and 63.2 Longitude, and you will find a prebuilt castle with lots of space to spread out and build defenses on the outside.
This castle is surrounded by resources like metal, obsidian, oil veins, and honey nodes. On the inside of the base, you can set up turrets to defend yourself, and one of the chambers leads to a small cave that is filled with crystals. The pool inside the cave spawns Silica Pearls.
Ark Fjordur Base Location #3
Head to 29.2 Latitude and 39.4 Longitude, and you will find an opening to one of the biggest caves in Ark. This cave makes one of the best base locations that is also impossible to raid.
This cave spawns lots of metal and crystal deposits. You get the perfect temperature here; just outside the cave, you will get tons of rich metal deposits, while the mountain above the base has plenty of crystal and obsidian.
Ark Fjordur Base Location #4
At 82.2 Latitude and 21.2 Longitude in the southern continent, you will find an entrance that will lead you to the Mines of Moria, your next base location. The area inside has prebuilt structures that just need a door.
The boulders are made from harvestable rocks that can be cleared out. There is a small water deposit here that spawns silica pearls. The chambers contain plants that can be harvested for organic polymer.
Ark Fjordur Base Location #5
The last base location is in the Snow Castle at 22.8 Latitude and 17.9 Longitude. This castle has a small dungeon that is perfect for defending yourself if you are getting attacked. This base is good if you’re looking for a larger area to spread out on and it also has metal node and crystals right on top of it.
