Fastest way to smelt is industrial forge

If you are like me and have no idea how to craft this, I’ll help you! First, you need to collect metal. 2 metal turns into 1 ingot. It can be collected from caves as a yellow crystal. Next, craft a refining forge. Put in fuel and the metal, and you have metal ingots!

If you have a plat quezt and a ladder next to it just mine metal with anky and quezt then put it in a mortar and pestle Then once u have that amount you need carry it all or drop and carry then u hop on the ladder attached to the quezt that way it doesn't add weight and carry the anky with your quezt and u can carry 10k metal no problem (Sorry if this is a bit confusing)

Metal rocks (the shiny yellow rocks) give raw metal then put the metal on forge and boom you have metal ingot

If you put raw metal in a Phoenix it will automatically smelt it

Weirdly, i thought eqqus had weight reduction for this, I don’t know why.

The phoenix’s C attack can collect metal and it’ll automatically smelt in it’s inventory

The secret to life is north zone three. Good tames, lots of metal, and not to hard. Up for fun

If you want a fun way to get metal, tame a high level giga and just stomp around the map killing everything, but focus on the tek creatures. I sent one ark day doing this and I got tons of exp and over 200 scrap metal plus a load of oil and element dust. This is also a good way to get hide for saddled.

Do metal runs with skiff and magmasaurs and they will collect and cook the metal

Get metal from rocks then craft a refining forge put the metal in and some wood light the fire then you get metal and when you have metal I recommend crafting a smithy

13 points   Jul 4, 2021   Report

Craft a industrial grinder,place 15 shocking trankdarts,grid 10 of them ..

There you go you have 10metal and 10biotoxin

15shocking trankdarts are unharmed....

You got a unlimited metal and biotoxin farm...

1gasolin=10metal+10biotoxin

Nice trade right.....?

If your getting less metal ingots than your raw metal,remember that 2 raw metal makes 1 metal ingot

Though heavy Anky’s metal gatherers. DON’T USE DODICK’S TO COLLECT METAL ROCKS!!!!!

Go find shiny rocks harvest them and make a refining forge and light it put the metal inside then you have metal ingots
