Anky should have a Weight reduction right

Thats the item that every ark player needs and wants

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!

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

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)

They are handy to have around to make scopes long neck rifles iron pick and iron hatchet or bullets

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

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
