so people know, the faster more effective way to gather flint is a mantis with a pick. Gather more and faster with a mantis ! It’s the most slept on for flint!
The industrial grinder and a doedic is by far the most efficient way to get flint plus xp. If you're in the bullet making business this is the way.
The mining drill gets more stone than flint
Ive found ankys gather flint the best but even faster way is to gather stone and grind it to flint in a industrial grinder
If you do use the pick, pair it with a mantis, this makes it much faster and also allows you to get around more. If you have a Dino with good weight and movement speed, have it follow you to get more at one go.
Using an Anky in the rivers on the island to farm river rocks can be very effective for flint farming.
Use a mantis with a good pickaxe and it's pretty good
Anky or mantis are the best options to run flint
If only the materials for the industrial grinder wasn’t so expensive
A picaxe gets more flint than a hatchet.
What about the mining drill? Thats pretty good if you ask me.
use a giga and farm points on genesis then buy slot caps of flint saves time and doesn’t risk so many tames
If you have the man power. Get two ac picks and a crab with two mantises....... flint run done so much faster and crab can carry ALOT
On Ragnarok, Dunkleo’s can also gather flint (together with stone) in the water. But less effective than anky/mantis on land.
Ive found ankys gather flint the best you could also just gather stone and grind it to flint in an industrial grinder its a little quicker
Ankys gather flint best but u can also use doedics to gather stone and grind it in an indus grinder. A cheaper option can also b a tropeo
A lot of people are saying that using a industrial grinder is better for flint but the speed that it turns stone into flint isn’t worth the waist of resources. Depending on your server settings it’s probably easier and much faster to just hit rocks with a metal pick instead.
An Ankylosaurus with bred stats into melee/ full imprint is better. No imprint or extra mutations on an anky isn't as good as Speedy Mantis imo.
The best way now to farm is with a tek strider it crazy..!!
The matel pick is not good than anky
