Pursuits are a feature in ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. They work in a similar manner to quests, and when completed, give rewards.
Overview[]
Pursuits from single player to multiplayer modes differ because single player offers a more tutorialized set of basic pursuits to help introduce new players to the world of ARK. Multiplayer jumps straight into the fun of hunting, taming, and exploring! [1]
Pursuits can give quite a lot of XP to level up (see list below). For Pursuits that give a lot of XP (like Artifact Pursuits), it's recommended to use multipliers in order to get the most XP.
For example, if one has 4x experience boost from both an Explorer Note Pursuit and a 2x XP buff with Primal-Pass, applying Intense Focus and consuming a Broth of enlightenment would earn them a 15x XP boost total (18x in the PvP zone of PvX or PvX Clock).

Daily Pursuits[]
Daily Pursuits are a type of Pursuit that can be completed once a day for 2 Ancient Amber and 300 XP. Completing pursuits several days in a row will increase the amount of Amber received (day 3 = 3 Amber, day 5 = 4 Amber, day 10 = 5 Amber, day 15 = 7 Amber, day 25 = 10 Amber, day 60 = 15 Amber, day 150 = 18 Amber, day 365 = 20 Amber). The pursuits are selected from a pool of about 40 different Pursuits (40 are known) and generally consist of tasks such as hunting, fishing, taming, or surviving. Some may complete instantly depending on a player's progress. New pursuits are given at midnight in the player's time.
Daily Pursuits grant 50% bonus Ancient Amber to
Primal Pass holders.

Notes[]
- Completing 50 straight Daily Pursuits will unlock the
Graft: Ultimacy
.
- The Photograph Pursuit doesn't work when you're on a mount.
- At the Photograph Pursuit: Aquatic Giants, the Basilosaurs does not count for one, although the camera indicator turns green. This might be a bug.
- At the Grand Voyage Pursuit there is a bug where if you leave the game it will register where you started but if you leave while the pursuit is for example 60% complete it would be only 40% complete if you return watch out.
- In the Grand Voyage Pursuit, if you leave your raft for more than 30 seconds, the mission restarts.
- Rewards from pursuits are almost always Ascendant Quality, however what makes them stand out more is that the item yielded from the pursuit is much stronger than normal Ascendant Quality gear. For Example, If you tributed the Artifact Of The Strong and got a ascendant Compound Bow from it, it will typically have around 300~ durability and damage, however the compund bow obtained from the Hunt Basilosaurus pursuit is much stronger, typically having around 700~ durability and damage. (Tested on Medium Mode, higher difficulties still have the same interaction.) Keep this in mind as it may end up just eliminating the need for grinding a better item, as you may not get anything better than the reward from the pursuit.
- Both Thin Air and No Air can be cheesed if you just use a bed to quick travel to the top or bottom of the world. This will completely eliminate all the challenge of the pursuit.
- The Tributing pursuits do not actually serve any purpose aside from showing you how to do it. So you don't lose or gain anything from doing them or not.
- In Case I Don't See Ya doesn't appear in multiplayer.
