Wardrums — Detailed Guide

Tribal drums for everyone around to hear

Wardrums are a playable instrument in ARK: Survival Evolved, filed under furniture on the ARK Wiki. In the game's words: "A set of tribal wardrums, to let everyone around hear the power of your tribe."

Playing the drums

Set the drums on the ground first, then mount them to play. Keys 1 to 5 play the individual drums, and the first two can also be struck with the left and right mouse buttons.

Crafting a set

The engram unlocks at level 13 and costs 6 engram points. Wardrums are crafted in the inventory in 5 seconds, give 7.7 XP and need:

Weight, durability and loot

A set weighs 4, and a full stack of 100 weighs 400. Counted as a wooden structure, the drums are safe from bare hands, stone weapons and ranged attacks that are not explosive. Many aggressive creatures cannot damage them either; the wiki's list includes the Dilophosaur, Pulmonoscorpius, Sabertooth, Terror Bird, Kaprosuchus and Thylacoleo. Our records count 56 crate types that can contain them, such as Astraeos Blue and Genesis Blue, and list them on 14 maps, including The Island, Ragnarok, Valguero and Fjordur.
