Ark: Survival Ascended – Where to Find Oil – Best Oil Spawn Locations on The Island Map

Hey there Ark adventurers! You ready to get your hands oily?? If you’re prowling around The Island map & thinking “Where in the world do I find all that precious oil??” then you my friend are in the right place… We’re about to embark on a journey across land sea & even under the waves to uncover the richest oil spots that’ll make you the envy of every survivor out there.

The Ultimate Oil Hunt on The Island Map

Beachside Oil Bounty (8.4, 23.6)

First off, hit the beaches at 8.4, 23.6… not for sunbathing but for those layered-rock-looking oil nodes. Pro tip: Grab a Kilosaurus with beastly melee stats & watch the oil pile up.

The Cold Gold (Iceberg at 5.8, 5)

Next stop, the Iceberg at 5.8, 5… It’s not just a frozen wasteland, it’s an oil haven. You’ll want a flyer here to navigate; these icy spots are perfect for oil bases & you’re pretty much left alone up there.

Coral Oil Secret (South Zone 1 Beach)

Now here’s a sneaky one: those bluish-purple corals on South Zone 1 Beach? they’re loaded with oil. A metal pick is your best friend here for mining that liquid gold. Stone picks? Nah, they don’t cut it.

Lagoon Loot (82.4, 34.1)

Over in the lagoon at 82.4, 34.1, there’s a bunch of those oil corals. Sharks can’t reach you in the shallow waters here so it’s a chill spot for oil gathering.

Tropical Beaches & Trilobites

Early bird gets the worm… or in this case, the oil. Trilobites crawling up on the tropical beaches in the morning are like mini oil fountains, plus they drop other cool stuff.

Other Crazy Ways to Get Oil

Dung Beetle Oil Ops

Here’s a quirky one: Dung beetles… yep, they can turn waste into oil. Just let them roam around in their cages & they’ll work their magic turning poop into oil.

Egg-cellent Oil with Hesperornis

Got Hesperornis laying eggs? Toss ’em in a cooking pot, light it up & voila -> oil production starts. It’s slow but hey, it’s steady.

Basilosaurus: The Oil Producer

If you manage to tame a Basilosaurus, you’re in for an oil treat; these dudes naturally make oil over time… breed a bunch of them in a water pen & you’ve got yourself an oil reservoir.
