Ghillie Boots

Camouflage from the ground up

Ghillie Boots are the feet slot of the Ghillie Armor set in ARK: Survival Evolved, a set built for staying hidden rather than for raw defense. The game explains: "Strands of Organic Polymer cause this to disperse heat and keep you cool. Camouflage keeps you more hidden from enemy creatures. Provides moderate physical protection, but less than Chitin."

What the set offers

Ghillie armor shrinks the range at which enemies can see you by 50%, which makes it easier to slip past predators. It keeps heat out very well and gives moderate cold insulation, on a par with Cloth Armor. For damage, the boots fall between Hide Boots and Chitin Boots, with an armor rating of 32 and 45 durability.

Making a pair

With Hide Boots learned, the engram opens at level 33 for 11 engram points. The boots are crafted in your own inventory from:

• 4 Organic Polymer, or Corrupted Nodule
• 6 Hide
• 4 Fiber

Crafting takes 5 seconds and gives 2.8 XP. A repair uses 2 Organic Polymer, 3 Hide and 2 Fiber, and the whole Ghillie set adds up to 40 Hide, 26 Organic Polymer and 18 Fiber.

Weight and other sources

The boots weigh 2. 342 crate types can contain them, for example the Aberration Blue crates and the Aberration Dungeon crates, and our records list them on 14 maps.
