Tips & Strategies
I know it says anky is the best which i used to believe until i tried magmasaurs , my magmasaur ls level 200 with 350% damage ( not even leveled ) gets 750 from the small nodes and like 1300 from the big ones , my harvest rating is x2 but anky at x2 gives 250 to 330 from the smaller ones and 800 at most from the big ones , on any map that has magmasaurs just get any level 90+ , imprint it and level up damage and weight , if you wanna be smart with it you don’t have to level up weight on the magmasaur , you can tame an argy anky and magmasaur , collect metal with the magmasaur , put it in the anky and pick it up with an argy then go home , that compensates for the fact that you can’t pick up a magmasaur and he doesn’t have weight reductions on metal
More Metal Tips
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……

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
Herbivore island has a bunch of metal rocks and there are no predators there
