Lost Colony is all about pushing progression through repeatable missions — and if you want to craft tributes, unlock boss access, or just keep momentum, you’ll quickly run into the same bottleneck everyone does: Sigils. This guide breaks down the fastest, most reliable way to farm Crimson Sigils and Aberrant Sigils on ARK: Survival Ascended’s Lost Colony map, including a full list of mission coordinates you can run outside the city.

What are Sigils in Lost Colony?

Sigils are Lost Colony progression resources tied to the map’s repeatable mission system (Outpost Missions). Lost Colony Outpost Missions are designed as dynamic, repeatable encounters (Defense Outposts, Attack Outposts, and Resource Caches). :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

On this map, you’ll mainly farm two types:

• Crimson Sigils — earned from missions in the city (city mission terminals/instances).
• Aberrant Sigils — earned primarily from tundra outposts (especially Defense Outposts).

Sigil tiers (Gamma, Beta, Alpha)

Sigils come in difficulty-based tiers:

• Gamma → Minor Sigils
• Beta → Greater Sigils
• Alpha → Prime/Primal Sigils (many tools/databases label them “Prime”). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Important: If you’re planning boss progression, you’ll need large stacks of these tiers for tributes (for example, Gamma often uses 100 Minor of each, Beta uses 150 Greater of each, and Alpha uses 200 Prime of each in some tribute recipes).

Best way to farm Crimson Sigils (City missions)

Crimson Sigils come from missions in the city. If your goal is Crimson-only farming, your best loop is simply repeating city missions back-to-back at the highest difficulty your group can clear consistently.

City mission farming tips

• Efficiency beats difficulty (until you’re stable): If Alpha runs wipe you or take forever, you’ll often earn more per hour by spamming fast Beta (or even Gamma) clears.
• Bring “mission-ready” kits: extra ammo, spare armor, healing, and a “get back in fast” plan (beds/spawn points nearby) so wipes don’t kill your momentum.
• Chain runs: treat it like a dungeon grind — finish, restock quickly, re-queue immediately.

Best way to farm Aberrant Sigils (Tundra outposts)

Aberrant Sigils are mainly from the tundra outposts, with Defense Outposts being the go-to target when you specifically need Aberrant. The Lost Colony DLC frames these as “Defense Outposts” where you hold out against waves, and “Attack Outposts” where you breach and destroy structures — both are part of the repeatable Outpost Mission system.

Aberrant farming strategy (simple & effective)

• Prioritize Defense Outposts when you’re hunting Aberrant Sigils specifically.
• Run a route, not a single location: rotate through nearby outpost points so you always have something active/spawned.
• Optimize for speed: quick clears + quick travel + quick restock.
• Scale difficulty only when consistent: Alpha is great for Prime/Primal/Prime-tier sigils, but only if you can clear it reliably.

Mission coordinates outside the city (your map checklist)

Below are the known mission points you listed for running outside the city. Copy these into your in-game GPS notes, map pins, or tribe route plan.

Defense Outposts (Aberrant Sigil focus)

• (85.2, 86.5)
• (40.2, 10.2)
• (56.8, 37.9)
• (70.0, 66.7)
• (58.8, 30.0)
• (77.9, 5.4)
• (97.8, 13.7)

Outpost Assaults (Attack Outposts)

• (39.9, 3.4)
• (54.9, 4.2)
• (91.5, 85.3)
• (93.5, 95.2)
• (73.7, 62.3)
• (70.0, 85.9)
• (You also found one in the city before starting the list.)

Loot Drops / Resource Cache-style points

Lost Colony also includes Resource Caches as part of the Outpost Mission system — these revolve around securing valuable drops before enemies overrun them. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

• (33.2, 28.6)
• (69.4, 95.9)
• (87.9, 45.8)
• (95.4, 85.1)
• (90.2, 19.5)

Fast farming route idea (how to turn coordinates into Sigils/hour)

If you want a practical way to grind without thinking too hard, run a “triangle loop” based on what you need:

• Need Aberrant? Pick 3–4 Defense Outposts that are closest to your current base, and rotate them until you’re stacked.
• Need Crimson? Park a kit in the city and spam city missions (Gamma/Beta/Alpha based on your clear speed).
• Need both? Split sessions: do a city batch for Crimson, then do a tundra batch for Aberrant — swapping before you burn out keeps the grind feeling less brutal.

Common problems (and quick fixes)

“We can’t find Defense missions / they don’t spawn”

Some players have reported Defense Outpost missions being inconsistent on certain servers. If your route feels “dead,” rotate farther, relog, or test other points from the list to confirm it’s not just that one area.

“Alpha is too hard, but we want Prime/Primal/Prime-tier sigils”

Don’t force it. Prime/Primal/Prime-tier is great, but consistent Beta farming can beat messy Alpha attempts over time. Once your tribe can clear Alpha without wipes, then you scale up.

Quick reference (bookmark this)

• Crimson Sigils → City missions
• Aberrant Sigils → Tundra outposts (especially Defense Outposts)
• Gamma → Minor
• Beta → Greater
• Alpha → Prime/Primal (“Prime” naming appears in item databases/tools)

SmallTribesShop tip (optional but smart)

If you’re running missions nonstop, you’ll burn gear fast. A dedicated “Lost Colony mission kit” (extra armor sets, ammo stacks, medical supplies, and backup weapons) saves a ton of time between runs — and time is the real currency when you’re farming Sigils.

Good luck on Lost Colony — and if you want, tell me what you’re farming for (boss tribute, crafting, trading, or just progression) and whether you’re solo/duo/tribe, and I’ll tailor an optimized route using your coordinate list.
