Hey guys! So, you're cruising along in Raft, probably dealing with shark attacks and trying to keep your thirst at bay, right? Well, one of the most crucial things you'll need is clean water. And while the simple purifier gets the job done, the Advanced Purifier is a total game-changer. It's faster, more efficient, and just plain better. But how do you actually get your hands on the blueprint? Don't worry, I've got you covered!

Finding the Tangaroa Key

First things first, you can't just stumble upon the Advanced Purifier blueprint right away. You need to progress through the main story a bit. Specifically, you'll need to find the Tangaroa Key. This key is hidden within Balboa Island, a significant location you'll discover as you follow the story. Balboa Island is hard to miss. It is large and has bears that will attack you. Once on the island, you will need to solve a puzzle. To solve the puzzle on Balboa Island in Raft, you need to restore power to the crane by finding and placing three batteries in the correct slots within the island's electrical systems. Look around buildings and higher places, because that is where the batteries are found. These batteries are scattered around the island in various buildings and may require some exploration to locate. Once you have all three batteries, head to the crane control room. Insert the batteries into the designated slots in the control panel. This will activate the crane. With the crane now powered, use its controls to move the platform with the crates into a position where you can access them. Jump onto the platform and search the crates for the Tangaroa Key, which is essential for progressing the story and accessing new areas. This will require some parkour and careful jumping. After you get the key, you will be able to continue the adventure.

Heading to Tangaroa

With the Tangaroa Key in your pocket (or backpack, technically), it's time to set sail for Tangaroa. Tangaroa is a massive, partially submerged city that you'll find by following the coordinates given to you through the story. It's impossible to miss – this place is huge! When you arrive at Tangaroa, take some time to explore. The city is filled with buildings to loot and climb. The city's vertical layout is an important aspect to consider when navigating, as key locations and items are often found at different heights. Keep an eye out for useful resources, but also be aware of the threats lurking within the city, such as the many robots patrolling the area. These robots can pack a punch, so be prepared to fight or sneak your way around them. Tangaroa is a non-linear city, meaning that there are many ways to go about looting it, and many different ways to get to the same place. Don't be afraid to make mistakes as you explore the city. You can even find notes that give you hints as to where to go next, or lore that enriches the story.

Finding the Blueprint in Tangaroa

Okay, this is where it gets specific. Inside Tangaroa, you're looking for a specific building: the tallest building in the city. It's hard to miss, trust me. This is where the real adventure begins. Make your way inside and start climbing. Be cautious as you ascend, as there are robots patrolling the various levels, making stealth or combat necessary. As you ascend the building, continue to be on the lookout for robots. If they spot you, be ready to fight or find a way to evade them. As you climb higher, you'll eventually reach a small market area. The Advanced Purifier blueprint is located inside one of the market stalls. Search each stall carefully, and you'll find the blueprint sitting there, waiting for you to grab it. The stall containing the blueprint is often tucked away, so take your time and check every corner of the market area. It is also possible that the blueprint can be located on shelves. Once you find the blueprint, make sure to interact with it to learn the crafting recipe.

Crafting the Advanced Purifier

Alright, you've got the blueprint! Now it's time to craft that bad boy. Here's what you'll need:

• 6x Plastic: You'll find this by collecting trash from the ocean. Keep your net handy!
• 4x Metal Ingot: Smelt metal ore in a smelter to create these. You'll need to mine metal ore underwater.
• 2x Glass: Cook sand in a smelter to get glass. Sand can be found on beaches or underwater.
• 1x Circuit Board: These can be found in crates or purchased at trading posts. Sometimes, you can craft them.

Once you have all the materials, head to your crafting table and combine them to create the Advanced Purifier. Place it on your raft, and you're good to go!

Why the Advanced Purifier is a Game-Changer

So, why go through all this trouble for an Advanced Purifier? Well, let me tell you:

• Faster Purification: It purifies water much faster than the simple purifier, saving you precious time.
• Less Fuel Consumption: It uses less fuel (planks) per use, making it more efficient in the long run. This is super important when you're trying to conserve resources.
• Larger Capacity: It holds more water, meaning you don't have to refill it as often. More water equals more hydration, equals more happy raft life!

Tips and Tricks

• Bring a Friend: Tangaroa can be tough, especially with those robots. Bringing a friend makes things way easier.
• Stock Up: Make sure you have plenty of food and water before heading to Tangaroa. You don't want to run out mid-exploration.
• Be Patient: Finding the blueprint can take some time, so don't get discouraged. Just keep exploring, and you'll find it eventually.
• Use Ziplines: Scattered around Tangaroa are ziplines that can help you get around faster. Keep an eye out for them.
• Clear a Path: If you're struggling with the robots, try clearing a path as you go, so you can easily retreat if needed.

Conclusion

So, there you have it! That's how you get the Advanced Purifier blueprint in Raft. It might take a bit of effort, but trust me, it's totally worth it. Clean water is essential for survival, and the Advanced Purifier makes life on the raft so much easier. Now get out there, explore Tangaroa, and start purifying that water like a pro! Happy Rafting!
