Element is a strange resource available in Ark Ragnarok that is fully mature and in its final form. The element is used to make the components of the Tek Tier armor and other items, fuel the Tek Structures in the form of Element Shards, and more.
Farming for Elements in the Ragnarok map can be a little difficult and confusing sometimes since they are a rare material. Therefore, we have made a complete guide on the best ways to farm Elements in Ark Ragnarok, including how to Craft Element.
Best Ways to Farm Element in Ark Ragnarok
There are a few ways to farm Elements in Ragnarok, but the following list covers the best.
1. Boss Fights
You will be rewarded with Element when you defeat any boss in the Ark Survival. All bosses drop this material except Rockwell and Overseer.
The number of Element dropped depends on the difficulty of the fight. For example, the Manticore Alpha boss will give you 285 Elements compared to 38 Elements for the Gamma. Similarly, Alpha Dragon will give you a maximum of 220 Elements in the Ragnarok.
You are advised to gather Elements whenever you can during the fight because you will lose any chance to pick it up once you are teleported out of the arena.
2. Farm Element Dust
Unfortunately, you cannot farm element dust in the Ragnarok map, but the good news is that Element Dust is transferable from different servers, such as Genesis, to Ragnarok. Entire dust can be converted to elements or shards by simply letting it spoil. Element dust can easily be farmed from city structures, such as benches, lamps, and tables. So farm it on another map, and then transfer it to Ragnarok.
3. Tek Creatures
For this method, you must have some Tek Creatures and enable their mating. Ensure their eggs drop to a lower level surrounded by 1 battery, 2 air conditioners, and 1 vault. Grab a chainsaw, and once the baby hatches from the egg, use a chainsaw to slaughter it, and you will get tons of element dust.
4. Tame Gacha
Gachas are found in the Northwest side of the Wastelands. These creatures are tamed by feeding almost anything. Once you tape them, set their production unit to element, and they will drop crystals on the ground. These crystals contain different items, including elements, element shards, and element dusts.
How to Craft Element in Ark Ragnarok?
In other DLCs of Ark Survival, you can craft elements using a Charge node or an Engram. However, we cannot access the Charge Node in Ragnarok, so you must use the Engram.
Once you have the Engram, you need the following items to craft Elements.
- x15 Blue Gem
- x8 Charge Battery
- x50 Congealed Gas Ball
- x20 Element Ore
- x20 Green Gem
- x1 Powered On Station
- x10 Red Gem
If, for any reason, you do not have all these items mentioned above, but you still want to craft Elements, it is possible by utilizing the Element dust in the Engram to craft the Element. For every 1000 Element Dust, you can craft one Element by adding one Unstable element in the Engram.
