PixARK provides an area to craft, but it might be difficult to figure out independently if you’re new to the game. When you launch the game, choose the Creative Mode, as it gives every player a procedurally generated map, making their experience unique.
Once the game begins, read the map, collect resources, and knock down creatures to tame them. This might not be easy if you don’t have the required items, but don’t worry; we have you covered! This beginner’s guide contains 10 starter tips for PixARK players to enjoy their game with a thrilling experience.
10. Reading the Map
The first thing you start with is the map. This map lists different biomes in the game, but reading it is crucial to getting started. Novice Grassland is the starter area you need to begin with, and the difficulty increases for other regions.
If you’re starting the game in solo mode, you will not get the entire map or the Mountain Forest biome will not be present. This means that all the creatures belonging to that biome will not be there in the game.
In this case, you need to restart the game and get a new level. It might take a few tries until you get a suitable map.
9. Collect Wood As You Start The Game
When you start the game, find a safe ground to land on. Once on the ground, you must collect berries from the bushes or go to the trees to collect wood. When you collect wood, open inventory. By default, it will allow you to craft a torch, wooden axe, wooden pickaxe, and wooden stick. Use the pickaxes to destroy blocks, chop down wood with the axe, and knock out creatures with the stick.
8. Tame Creatures Often
Taming Creatures in the game is not as difficult as it seems. Simply put, you need to walk up to a creature a place a certain type of food in its inventory. The type of food will vary due to the diverse number of animals available in the game, but you can be assured that our PixARK Taming Guide will cover everything especially for Beginner’s.
7. Level Up Your Health
One of the most important tips in our Pixark Beginner’s Guide is to level up your health as often as possible. It is ridiculously easy to kill you at the game’s earlier stages. You can also use an assortment of various berries to increase your statistics, such as health. Alternatively, you can find berries for other purposes, such as falling asleep.
The best way to level up is to pick up resources. Use the tools as soon as you have them to get the resources. Getting to Level 6 is important but not that difficult. Continue to pick up resources wherever you can find them. At Level 6, you will be able to get the spear. Another shortcut is to trap a turtle between blocks and poke it with the spear until it dies.
Having the spear is important because it has a range that is longer than almost any other melee weapon in the game. A spear will allow you to hunt creatures much more easily and thus level up even faster.
6. Master Crafting
Crafting is easier if you have relevant resources. For example, if you want to make a spear, you will need wood, fiber, and a rock. Once you have these, go to the craft menu and choose the craft item option. Now, to get rocks, you need to dig two blocks deep.
Once you have the spear, you can stab someone with it or use right click to throw it about. It can be picked up once thrown to be used again. Once you have the spear, you can trap a turtle in the dirt blocks, which should not be that difficult. After that, simply poke at the turtle with your spear to kill it and level yourself up faster than intended.
5. Always Get Your Inventory Back After Dying
If you accidentally kill yourself, don’t worry. The best thing about PixARK is that it lets you recover all your assets each time you revive. When you respawn into the game, you will see a gravestone on the mini-map and the compass, pinpointing the location of your body. Simply go to the marked location and retrieve your items.
4. Scan Creatures To Learn About Them
A cool feature of the game is that when you hold the secondary attack, you can scan the area nearby, including the crawling creatures, to see if they are tamable. You can also use this feature to scan cubes in the surroundings.
3. Master Building
Building is easy and fun in PixARK. Once you have enough resources, Place the foundation from the build menu and then build on it. Remember that ceilings need to be placed on top of the walls and then connected together, as opposed to Minecraft, where they are automatically connected to each other.
Once you are Level 10, you can begin upgrading your wooden base into a stone one and constructing a bed, which could work as a permanent spawn point.
2. Do Not Ignore Quests
Before we end the guide, remember that you can complete quests to get rewards such as ores. You can check the bottom right of your map for quest markers. The markers will have a different color based on the type of quest they represent, so figure out which quests you like doing and do them to get your rewards.
1. Use Dinosaurs Wisely
Once you tame a dinosaur, go close to it and press E button to open options. You can tweak your pet according to your setting. Don’t make your dinosaur aggressive as it will get him killed soon.
You can also keep the dinosaur in your inventory to carry him around.
