Running is something you will do a lot of in Ark Survival Ascended. The game forces you to run most of the time. When you first spawn, you will run from Dilos and Raptors. When you progress a bit further, you will be forced to run through caves and smaller spaces. The game even has caves that force you to dismount and explore them on foot. Finally, in the late game, you will be running through boss arenas and fighting the various bosses the game has to offer. All of this requires one thing, movement speed. Since it can no longer be leveled in ASA, you’d want to know how to increase movement speed in the game. If that’s the case, consider reading this guide for more details.
Of the many changes that were made to ASA to make the game better, one of the most notable is the change to the movement speed stat. You can no longer level any points into movement speed, which forces you to play the game more strategically. There are also changes to the ping system, taming baby dinosaurs and even some dinosaurs like the Oviraptor. These are all QoL changes that were designed to make the game better and easier to play. However, now that movement speed cannot be leveled up in the official servers, here’s everything you need to know about increasing it.
Ark Survival Ascended (ASA): How to increase Movement Speed (Singleplayer/Official Server)?
Movement speed is what governs your speed on land. Levels invested in movement speed increase the speed at which you can move and reduce the stamina you use when running. This can be both greatly useful and a little bit of an issue. Too high movement speed means you effectively cannot move around the map normally, and the game can stutter, while too low (default) essentially means you just aren’t fast enough.
How to level movement speed in Singleplayer?
To level up movement speed in a single-player save, you will have to enable the Speed Level option in the Game Rules tab. This is a simple process, and you can follow these steps for the same:
- Head over to the Create/Resume Game.
- After this, access the Game Rules tab.
- Here, select the World tab, and you will find the Allow Speed Leveling option. Make sure that it is turned on.
Movement speed levels were an integral part of the old game, and this forces you to play more strategically. Since you cannot outrun creatures like raptors and sabertooth tigers anymore with leveled movement, you have to think and come up with a better strat to avoid them. This makes them more of a threat than they were before. Apart from this, the only way to change your movement speed is with soups and broths.
How to increase movement speed in Official Server?
Since you cannot set the game rules in the official servers, you are forced to play with the preset rules for them. In order to increase your movement speed in the game’s official servers, you will need to consume the various broths and potions you have available. The one that directly increases movement speed is Focal Chilli. You can craft this in a common cooking pot. Here are the required ingredients to craft it:
- 9x Cooked Meat/Cooked Fish Meat/Cooked Meat Jerky
- 5x Citronal
- 20x Amarberry
- 20x Azulberry
- 20x Tintoberry
- 10x Mejoberry
- 1x Water
Once crafted and consumed, the effects last for about 15 minutes. During this time, there is a uniform increase in your character’s movement speed in-game that makes you significantly faster on official servers. This is temporary, so you will have to keep that in mind.
Anyway, that is all we have on how to increase movement speed in ASA in both singleplayer and official servers. If you found this article helpful and would like to read more, make sure to visit Android Gram daily.
