How To Find All Gas Veins In Ark: Survival Evolved Fjordur

June 28, 2022 by www.gamespot.com Leave a Comment

There are dozens and dozens of items to craft in Ark: Survival Evolved Fjordur. Not only did the developers release the new map, but they also released a number of new items, mechanics, dinosaurs, and other features to be included on the map. One new feature that many players have had questions about since Fjordur launched is the gas veins . Gas is an extremely valuable resource in Fjordur, as players will need it to craft a number of useful items and gear. However, collecting the gas isn’t as easy as going to a gas vein and adding it to your inventory. Although, you will first need to know where the gas veins are in Fjordur before you can think about collecting it.

On the current Fjordur map, there’s only one location where players can find gas veins. This location houses several veins, though, so there is some wiggle room in where you actually go to collect the gas. Once players have arrived at a gas vein, they will see Congealed Gas Balls on top of the vein. This is the item that you need to craft all of the items that require gas, such as Hazard gear, gasoline, charge lanterns and batteries, etc. In this guide, we’ll go over where you can find the gas veins in Fjordur as well as explain exactly how to collect the Congealed Gas Balls.

Collecting Congealed Gas Balls

Before you make the trek to find a gas vein, you want to ensure that you have the right equipment to bring the gas back with you. In order to physically add a Congealed Gas Ball to your inventory in Ark, you need to construct a Gas Collector . This item essentially allows you to collect the gas ball and add it to your inventory in real-time.

In order to build a Gas Collector, you will need the following resources:

  • 20 Red Gem or Red Crystalized Sap
  • 40 Crystal or Primal Crystal
  • 60 Cementing Paste or Achatina Paste
  • 75 Metal Ingot or Scrap Metal Ingot

Once you have those resources, go to one of the following crafting stations to actually build the Gas Collector.

  • Smithy
  • Argentavis Saddle
  • Castoroides Saddles
  • Thorny Dragon Saddle
  • Tek Replicator

With the Gas Collector fully constructed, you can place it in your inventory and bring it with you to visit a gas vein. It should be noted that the Gas Collector is considered a structure, so it will take damage by objects or creatures out in the wild. The collector will also lose health slowly over time, so you will eventually need to craft a new one depending on how much gas you collect.

To collect Congealed Gas Balls, you need to place the Gas Collector over a gas vein and let it fill up. You can tell how much of the collector’s inventory is left by looking at the glass side panel and seeing how much of it is filled. In total, the Gas Collector can hold 24 stacks of 100 Congealed Gas Balls and it takes roughly 900 minutes for it to completely fill up. Of course, if you don’t need that many gas balls, then you can just take however much you need and then store the Gas Collector back in your inventory.

Locating Gas Veins

Now for the information you need. There is one rough location where gas veins are located on the Fjordur map. They are only found on the island of Vardiland, which is the southwestern island. More specifically, the veins are located in the Vardiland Valley, which is on the western side of the island but more towards the center, near the lake. The veins are found at coordinates 81-84 – 16-13. You’ll know you’re getting close to a gas vein if you see pink smoke hovering over the ground.

The gas veins aren’t difficult to spot and using a Gas Collector is simple enough. However, you might need to wear protective gear to shield yourself from any gas bursts that arise from the veins. With all of this information, you’re ready to start collecting gas and make a plethora of items in Ark Fjordur.

Destiny 2 Lucent Moths Guide: How To Get Witch Queen’s Lepidopterist Triumph

May 25, 2022 by www.gamespot.com Leave a Comment

Uncovering the secrets of Savathun’s throne world isn’t just something to do to pass the time in Destiny 2 ‘s latest expansion, The Witch Queen –it’s your overall goal. All the weird mysteries you solve uncover more of the story or provide resources and unlock new weapons. One of the secret objectives you can complete in the new location is to find several “Unique Lucent Moths,” which are small objects you can add to the cave near Fynch in the throne world, not unlike the hidden penguins that were part of the Beyond Light expansion.

Two new moths appear in the throne world each week, and while the game will give you hints as to where you can find them, it doesn’t tell you how. We’ve delved into the depths of Savathun’s realm to find the moths and retrieve them, and you can find everything you need to get them yourself in the guide below.

  • Week 1
    • Moth No. 1: Quagmire
    • Moth No. 2: Apothecary

Week 5

Moth No. 9: Altar of Reflection

You can find this week’s first moth by jumping into the Altar of Reflection node on your map, which will take almost directly to its location. Solve the rune puzzle to open the door into the main chamber, where you’ll find a bunch of Hive, including an Archivist and a boss.

As you go in, look up and to the right on one of the columns. You should see a Deepsight node; activate it and do a 180 to look back at the door you entered and you’ll see platforms you can now climb. On top of them, above the door, is the lucent moth.

Moth No. 10: Fluorescent Canal

The final moth is among the easier to find, and one of the cutest. Head to the Fluorescent Canal and make your way to the center of the area, near the exit to the Court of Thorns. There’s a big fountain just before the dais leading up to the Court doorway, marked by a bunch of statues of thralls reaching upward in the center. Watch the fountain for a second and you should spot the moth floating on a small dish, enjoying the Throne World’s sun as it floats around its own personal lazy river.

Turn in this last moth to the cave behind Fynch and you should complete the Lepidopterist Triumph for the Witch Queen seal.

Week 4

Moth No. 7: Court of Thorns

To find this moth, you’ll need to load into the Wellspring activity through the node on the Throne World. Wellspring sees two versions of the activity rotate daily: Defend and Attack. Jumping in on a Defend day is best for this moth, as you can snag it immediately before the activity even starts, since you’ll find it in one of the side rooms off the first arena. If it’s an Attack day, you’ll have to get to the final boss room to claim the moth, but that’s not too difficult either.

The moth is in one of the three side rooms in the Wellspring chamber proper. If you’re facing the Wellspring at the center of the room, it’s in the chamber on the right. Head over to this pink-tinged room and check the lowest statue on the left side of the room. The moth is perched on its hand.

Moth No. 8: Witch’s Echo

You might remember the Witch’s Echo location from The Witch Queen’s story campaign–it’s the area you’d go to access a portal to make your way to the Altar of Reflection to view Savathun’s memories. To get there, head to the Quagmire and take the northwest exit that takes you to the Temple of the Wrathful and the Temple of the Cunning. After heading through the orange portal, go through the building guarded by Scorn ahead until you come out the other side. Climb up the side of the temple here; you’re headed for the bridge off to your left.

You’ll find yourself in a dark cave next and the Witch’s Echo name will appear on your screen. Keep moving forward until you hit a better-lit cave chamber with some Hive tech inside and a group of Scorn to kill.

Clear the room and look to the sides for a Deepsight node. Activate it and check the side wall across from you. A door that was previously half-buried will disappear, revealing the hidden moth.

Week 3

Moth No. 5: Miasma

Ride your sparrow to the Miasma from the Quagmire and head north, pretty much right into the center of the area. While other Lucent Moths require you to fight enemies or solve a puzzle to unlock them, this one is just tough to spot. Eyes up, Guardian–the moth you’re looking for is in a tree.

The tree is easy enough to find, and it’s not far from the edge of the Miasma that’s a flat, open bog, where a public event flag spawns. It’s also near some destroyed Hive buildings, and to the west of the big, round tower that’s in the northeast corner of the area. Approach the tree from the east and you should be able to see the moth; it’s a lot harder to see if you come at it from the south. Climb up by jumping into the branches toward the trunk of the tree and then leaping onto the moth’s branch; you’ll fall straight through most of the others.

Moth No. 6: Temple of the Wrathful

Return to the Quagmire and ride your sparrow north again, past the exit to the Miasma, to the path that takes you into the rocky tunnels toward the Temple of the Wrathful and Temple of the Cunning. Go through the dark part of the tunnel until you come out into a cave full of Scorn, then jump through the orange portal to your right. That’ll drop you right out front of the entrance to the tunnel–when you came through here during the story campaign, you fought a Scorn Walker at this location.

Turn to the right and head past the big door into the temple grounds. This is the edge of the courtyard, blocked by a rocky wall, and you’ll find a bunch of Scorn here guarding an orange bubble. Kill them and the bubble will disappear, revealing the Lucent Moth.

Week 2

Moth No. 3: Alluring Curtain

Spawn in at the Quagmire and head for the exit far to the east to reach Alluring Curtain. You’ll need to travel around the outside of the fortress, which is a path you’ll have taken if you’ve completed the “Of Queens and Worms” questline for the Parasite Exotic grenade launcher. The path is pretty straightforward, but there’s a fair amount of platforming to be done to get where you’re going. Keep watching for Deepsight nodes, as these will reveal platforms you can use to scale the big towers sticking out along the way. The first is next to a white Hive statue, and will reveal platforms on the tower just off the edge of the platform.

You’ll be following the path a long way, through several instances of platforming. Look for a courtyard with a fountain in the middle–this is your destination. When you arrive, you’ll find Lucent Hive to fight, including an elite Wizard named Ir Olena, Moth Keeper. You only need to kill the Wizard to make the moth appear; it’ll be on the ground wherever Ir Olena falls.

Moth No. 4: Temple of the Cunning

The Temple of the Cunning is a location you visit during The Witch Queen’s story campaign. To get back to it, head to the Quagmire and then drive north into the cave-like area where the Scorn spawn, just west of the cliff and nearby Lost Sector. The path should take you downward in elevation and into some rocky tunnels, which then lead into some dark, rocky tunnels that you can illuminate by shooting glowing orange sacks of goo. At the end of that, you’ll reach some ruined underground structures filled with Scorn and find an orange portal.

Hop into that and you’ll emerge before a tall fortress built into the rock wall. If you played the campaign, you’ll remember that you go through the doorway ahead to reach the Temple of the Wrathful; instead of going into the fortress, hang a left and go around the outside of it.

Keep moving along the path until you enter the structure on the other side of the bridge. Keep advancing; you’ll eventually come to a rock wall with light blasting out of it, which you can move through if you duck. You might remember this area as the one that precedes the temple proper, which you reach by dropping down a long fall and landing on a bridge. If you reach that drop, you’ve gone too far. Instead, look for a blueish room with a hanging chandelier of crystal lights and a round platform in the center, filled with Scorn enemies. Kill them all and the moth will appear on one of the columns in the center of the room.

Week 1

Moth No. 1: Quagmire

The first Lucent Moth is the easiest to find. From Fynch’s location, set out east across the Quagmire section of the throne world toward the region’s Lost Sector. When you near the Lost Sector, which is itself close to a big cliff on the northern side of the region, turn and face back to the west. You’re looking for a tunnel that runs under the big hill ahead of you. As you enter the tunnel and approach the far end, a group of Lucent Hive will spawn in front of you, including a Wizard. Clear out all the enemies and look to the tunnel wall on the right, or western, side. You should see a green bubble that will dissipate when all the Lucent Hive enemies are destroyed. Behind the bubble waits your first “Independent Moth.”

Moth No. 2: Apothecary

To get the second moth, you’ll need Deepsight Resonance Tier 2, which you can earn from Fynch by leveling up your Throne World reputation rank. You’ll also need to make a long trip to the Apothecary, a section of Savathun’s fortress that you’ll enter during the “Of Queens and Worms” quest line. To get there, head to the Florescent Canal area and go to the north end, where you’ll find a gate to enter the section of the fortress called Queen’s Bailey.

From here, the pathway is straightforward, so keep moving through Queen’s Bailey until you reach an outside area. This section will have a big entrance into the fortress at the top of a long flight of stairs in the center, which will be ahead of you and on the right as you move into the space. Ahead, you’ll see a stout, square building with enemies inside, with the same thing mirrored on the far side of the main entrance.

Go past the stairs to the other square structure. When you arrive, look for a Deepsight Resonance node on top of the turret and activate it. That’ll give you about 30 seconds to find and shoot five black, round seals that carry Savathun’s green Witch Queen insignia. They’re all scattered close around the square building, and you can find them by the low hum they give off. Here are the five insignias’ locations, if you’re standing on the small staircase leading up to it:

Inside the square building on the right wall

  • Outside of the building, on the back wall on the right side
  • On the square pylon at the top of the stairs on the left side
  • On the back side of the back-left pylon at the top of the stairs
  • Outside the building on the left side from the stairs, just beside the doorway heading in

Destroy all five insignias before your Deepsight runs out and the moth will appear on top of the square building at the top of the small set of stairs.

[Lifehacks] Catch some z’s under the roof of a traditional hanok this summer vacation

Make your vacation different from the get-go by staying at a traditional Korean home, or hanok . Different from the modern buildings that fill Korean cities now, hanok is a popular choice for those who want a different overnight experience away from the fancy high-rise hotels and busy rooftop pools.

The traditional Korean-style home is usually a one-story building. The roof is covered with tiles called giwa , and the floor uses Korea’s own floor heating system called ondol , though there won’t be any need for it in the summer. Traditionally, all doors and windows are made with Korean paper called hanji . The entire building is built without using any nails or adhesives: the carpenters cut the wood in a way that the entire house can be assembled by itself, which means it is even possible to take the entire house apart and move it to a different location.

Most hanok resorts are built close to mountains and rivers so as to be near to nature and away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Still, there are some hanok across the country that have withstood the centuries. Some of the families that kept their traditional house still live in it, or even open some parts of their house to paying guests.

The typical hanok with giwa roofing was usually owned by aristocrats who were relatively better off than others, and would have many rooms to spare. Unless frequently used, the hanok could quickly turn into something like an abandoned house, so many hanok homeowners opt to keep their house partially open for guests, so as to keep the house alive.

Some newly built hanok resorts provide the same comforts available at hotels while still keeping all the traditional elements that make the overnight experience more Korean.

Located in Andong, South Gyeongsang, this hanok is located right by a cliff and river. Guests are welcome to go by the river and set out their own chairs for a drink or even an outdoor barbecue. On a clear night, the sky is filled with stars.

The elderly homeowners still live on the premise and greet the overnight guests each day. The husband checks people in, and the wife makes guests’ stays even more memorable by making alcoholic drinks made of rice, similar to makgeolli. The murky alcoholic rice drink is made by fermenting rice with traditional Korean yeast called nuruk . While bottles of the same traditional drink sell out quickly at liquor shops in Seoul, there is enough here to drink and even bring home. The drink is called Ellyeop Pyunjoo, and a bottle goes for 30,000 won ($23).

Accommodations can be booked for an entire house with friends and family, all the way down to just a single room. If you plan on spending more time outside by the river or in the garden area, the cheapest option available would be a small room for two, starting from 70,000 won.

Awon Museum & Hotel

This particular hanok hotel in Wanju, North Jeolla, gained much of its popularity due to global star BTS. The boy band visited the property for a summer photo shoot for one of their albums in 2019.

Though the full experience would require an overnight stay, many come just to make a quick day trip. The hotel is often photographed with its white linen hanging in front of the windows, dancing in the wind, and many guests take a photo with the dancing curtains in the background. The hanok was reassembled with the same wood as those used to make the hanok village in Jinju, South Gyeongsang.

The hotel is open from noon till 4 p.m. to anyone that visits without a reservation. Such passersby cannot go inside the rooms but are allowed to sit down on the maru , the balcony area of hanok, or walk around the garden. For overnight guests, rooms start from 270,000 won.

To make the stay more eventful, guests can rent out hanbok , traditional Korean dress, to wear on the hotel premise. Guests can also play traditional games like yutnori , a Korean board game, or try learning pansori , a traditional Korean genre of musical storytelling or learn the most well-known folksong, “Arirang,” with professionals playing gayageum, a traditional Korean stringed instrument, alongside.

The rooms start from 189,000 won per night.

Beyond Disney: 10 fun activities for kids this summer that won’t break the bank

June 27, 2022 by www.foxnews.com Leave a Comment

 Lara Trump to Disney: If you like California, 'stay out of Florida' Video

Lara Trump to Disney: If you like California, ‘stay out of Florida’

Fox News contributor Lara Trump responds to Disney’s delayed plans to move employees from California to Florida.

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

Many parents and families of young kids have set their sights on Disney vacations over the years.

For scores of people right now, however, those plans are pretty much out the window — or at least put on hold.

The cost of a trip to Disney World or Disneyland can quickly surge into the thousands of dollars once park passes, shuttle travel, accommodations, airline tickets, incidentals and more are factored into the equation.

HAS THE COST OF DISNEY WORLD BECOME UNAFFORDABLE FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY?

Parents and kids can have a good time this summer while also taking control of the costs and the scheduling.

Here are 10 fun summer activities the whole family can enjoy without breaking the bank.

1. Have some backyard fun

Parents and caregivers can put a lot of pressure of themselves to try to keep their kids happy. But this Virginia mother — like plenty of others, to be sure — discovered that you don’t need a ton of money to be creative. I bought an all-purpose pop-up sun tent for the beach — and used it in the backyard as a fort, which is great fun for kids ages 3-12.

Check your local stores’ prices or go online, as the costs vary.

Set up a sprinkler or baby pool for the kids to cool off in — or set up a bubble station and play some upbeat music. You don't need to spend a fortune for the kids to have fun.

Add a child-sized beach chair, blankets, pillows and towels for the inside of the tent. Pull together some healthy snacks and add drinks to a cooler for convenience.

Around the yard , set up a sprinkler or a baby pool to cool off in if there’s no pool (make sure to watch all young children closely around any body of water, no matter how shallow the water may be).

The sky’s the limit on the fun backyard activities.

More fun: Set up a bubble station and play some fun music. Consider holding a scavenger hunt for the kids. Purchase a giant lawn bowling set and a giant Connect Four game for the kids (check online or at your preferred store for prices). The sky’s the limit on the fun backyard activities.

2. Visit a local zoo

Kids love the zoo and there are plenty of options. Take the kids to the zoo for a summer’s day or throughout the year; prices vary per ticket depending on location.

At the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, children under the age of two enter free.

For children ages 2 to 11, tickets cost $14.95 per kid; and for ages 12-plus, a ticket costs $17.95, according to the Virginia Zoo website.

Become a member to enjoy events all year ’round. Prices range from $69 for an individual adult to $249 for a family (deluxe package of two adults and three guests) per year.

3. Go to a county, state or national park

Find a great park to visit . Many parks have camping grounds, cabins, hiking trails, bike trails, lakes, beaches and more — and many of them host local events.

Most parks charge an entrance fee. Admission may be free at some parks or range from $5 per person to $35 per vehicle. Go online to contact your preferred park for fees.

For five days in 2022, the National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee will offer free admission to everyone. The remaining free dates in 2022 are August 4, Sept. 24 and Nov. 11.

4. Spend a night or two in a hotel near home

Book a hotel room in your area for a night or two — or try a local restaurant you’ve never been to before.

Search out art festivals and food festivals to enjoy.

Check out local splash pads in your area or buy your own to cool off.

Plan an indoor picnic, book a spa day, or plan a themed lunch or dinner at home.

Better yet, throw a summer party for the kids with music. Pick up balloons and decorations from a local dollar store to spice up a room, patio or deck.

5. Go to a children’s museum

Check out museums and cultural centers in your local area for a day out with the kids. Hunt out educational presentations, planetariums, exhibits and interactive games.

Check with your local museum to learn about summer programs — and sign up the kids. Costs vary according to the city or town in which the museum is located.

6. Head to an aquarium

Aquariums are always a good idea for the kids — they learn and have fun at the same time.

Families enjoy the views at the largest aquarium in the world in Atlanta, Georgia.

Depending on where you go, there may be otters, dolphins, turtles and stingrays — maybe even sharks.

Some museums offer special dolphin trips. The Virginia Aquarium offers dolphin-watching and whale-watching boat tours. Prices vary, depending on the aquarium.

7. Enroll the kids in an art class

Look into art classes or craft classes for your children this summer.

Local art studios often have a variety of classes and options such as pottery making, canvas painting and glassworks for older kids and adults.

8. Help your children learn to cook

Introduce your kids to the joys of cooking by signing them up for classes — then try making some recipes together at home.

Look into local classes this summer; take a few classes together.

Or hold your own cooking class at home . Pick out a cookbook — and just go for a recipe that’s right for your child’s age. Maybe choose a favorite dessert to make together, then watch your young one enjoy it with relish.

9. Plan a fun day trip

Pack the car and take a day trip with the kids to a local lake, mountain, beach or waterfall.

Take plenty of snacks with you, plus lunch — and take the scenic route to your destination.

Regardless of the exact activity you choose this summer, there are plenty of ways to have fun together without spending a fortune — and your kids will remember this special time for years to come.

10. Take advantage of military and veteran discounts

If you or a spouse are an active military service member or a veteran , the Interagency Annual Military Pass provides free entrance to national parks and other federal recreation areas to current U.S. military members and their dependents, according to the National Park Service on its website.

U.S. military veterans as well as Gold Star families are eligible, the park service notes. Check out www.nps.gov/findapark to find a U.S. park near you.
