Crafting is an essential component of survival in ASA, but I discovered the game doesn't really describe how it works. In this guide, we will examine why Crafting is an important skill in ARK Survival Ascended and how to utilize it best.
How does Crafting skill work in ASA?
Crafting is one of the main character skills in ARK Survival Ascended, and it influences your crafting ability by reducing crafting time. By adding points to the Crafting skill, you will significantly speed up the process needed to spend on making a new item. This can be a determining factor in the overall meta, especially when creating large batches of items like Torches, Spears, Arrows, and such.
Lowering the crafting time for items can be especially useful if you find yourself in precarious situations, particularly early on in the game. Trying to assemble a weapon while getting attacked by a predator can mean the difference between life and death. Playing the game in PvP makes crafting an especially important skill to level up, especially if you have to face off with another player early on in the game.
To my understanding of the Crafting skill mechanic, allocating points to it does not enable you to learn more advanced Engrams more quickly; only a direct point investment to learning new Engrams does so, which requires you to level up.
