Air Bladder — Detailed Guide
A portable oxygen supply
The Air Bladder is a tool that our records list for ARK: Survival Ascended. The game describes it as follows: "Oxygenates the surrounding water when used, but slowly leaks." The ARK Wiki ties it to Aquatica, and the version that added it is 360.1.
How it works under water
It holds 300 oxygen. Using it under water gives the Air Container status effect for 60 seconds: oxygen rises by 100, plus a further gain of roughly 10 per second. Each use always takes 100 of the stored 300, even when the survivor was short by less than 100, the same way water containers such as the 
Canteen behave.
Crafting one
It is crafted in the inventory and gives 0.45 XP. Ingredients:
Fish Scale
Cementing Paste
Achatina Paste
Plant Species W FruitIt weighs 0.3 and does not stack (stack size 1).
Compared with the Air Jar
The wiki likens the Air Bladder to the 
Waterskin: it carries less oxygen than the 
Air Jar, loses oxygen slowly and has a similar icon. Even so, its engram unlocks at the 
Water Jar's level, while the Air Jar shares its level with the Waterskin, which the wiki suspects is a mix-up.
