This is for newer players so please don’t downvote because your Quetz and anky can get more. Step one make a raft with a bed and some storage and if you want to you can put a furnace down. Step two if you have an anky get them on the raft with some ramps and roofs. Step 3 look at the ark wiki and find the nearest metal rocks (the gold ones). Step four Christopher Columbus your a$$ over there. Step five for longer stays make a little house nothing fancy even 2 foundations a bed and storage with some backup gear will do. Step six get that metal. Also bring way more than you think you ever will, 1900 metal ore will only make 10 longneck rifles. Thank you for reading this, if I knew you read this it would make my day, now have a lovely rest of your day……

Anky=Cute idc what u have to say

Gas bag+mining drill= more metal than you know what to do with!

Make it point to the sky if this helped!!!

If ur on mobile just go to the top of the volcano and there will be all the metal, obsidian, and crystal u will ever need with ZERO things that want to kill u.

P.S is it just me or does everything I type have a 12 second delay

Poor people use a stone pick. Crazy people use a metal pick . Normal people use a anky rich people use a magmasour

On ASA metal takes about 1 hour to respawn.

Tame an anky and argy pick up the anky with an argy go to metal mountain then hit metal rocks with your anky and boom you have a metal making machine

If you are having trouble getting metal and don’t have anky, go for the small piles of rocks you should get 2-3 per pile

Leave Anky Melee at 800 that’s cap adding more Melee does not get you more metal use the rest of the points on weight and health
