Distinguishable by its red color, the Tintoberry is one of the different berries that can ba harvested in Ark by players.
Players may consume this berry in order to replenish a small amout of food or a tiny amount of water when needed.
Aside from being an edible, this berry is also a resource necessary for crafting important consumables that players can use, much like the Medical Brew.
There are two ways to get Tintoberry, which is harvesting plants for berries (and other resources) or by growing them from crop plots.
Players can handpick the berries from different plants and even use tamed creatures to make harvesting faster, such as the Therizinosaur, Brontosaurus, Ankylosaurus, and more.
Tintoberries can be grown by placing Tintoberry Seed and Fertilizer (or Feces) into a crop plot, which requires a supply of water.
