Jump into the Discord for starter help, shop info and the rules. See you on the beach.
You’re earning from minute one
Points build up while you play — never for paying — and the shop turns them into dinos, kits and boss tributes. Type /shop, /quests and /points in game.
What points buy
Pteranodon
Your first flyer — one evening of play. Ravager 600, Anky 900, Argy 1,000.
Rex, level 250
Boss-fight ready. Wyverns 5,000, Rock Drake 4,800, Yuty 4,400.
Giga or Carcha
The apex tier. Dreadnoughtus 10,000, Titanosaur 15,000 — for the truly patient.
Boss tribute bundles
Every artifact and tribute for a boss run in one buy — Broodmother to King Titan (5,000).
Quest lines run from Hunter and Tamer through Bounty Hunter and Demolitionist to Veteran — each tier pays more, up to 5,000 points. Daily and weekly quests reset automatically, and your kills hit the Discord kill-feed with the weapon and distance.
Vote for the cluster
Ten seconds a day. Votes push us up the server lists so new survivors find us.
