Overview[edit | edit source]
Organic Polymer, a natural version of Polymer that can be obtained from killing
Kairuku,
Hesperornis,
Mantis,
Karkinos, and harvesting bee hives. It can always be used in place of Polymer, but is not as ideal because it has a spoil timer and can only stack up to 20, while regular Polymer can stack up to 100.
Corrupted Nodule
is also a natural version of Polymer, found on Extinction. It can be harvested from dead Corrupted Creatures in the Wasteland.
On Ragnarok, however, if you have tamed a Griffin, a really good strategy would be flying over to the beach of the volcano area (with black sand), divebomb a bunch of
Mantises, and with the
Griffin's fast speeds fly over to your home, and use the
Organic Polymer as a substitute for the normal Polymer.
