What are tips for metal? Tips and strategies for metal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Crank that melee damage real high everyone! My 400% ankylosaurus gets 200 metal per rock, and my cousins trashy 250% only gets 75 per rock. Ankys with the damage get the metal.
If you want loads of this on Mobile go to the Volcano with an Ankylosaurus and some chests then you can harvest lots of iron ore and place it into the cabinet. The only issue with this is transporting your iron back to your base. I got 17,000 iron ore with this.
if you break an obsidian rock with an anky you somrhow get bonus metal
Drop quetz - “Metal yay” :D
Ramp quetz - “Boutta end your career” >:)
If u want metal tame an argentavis with a saddle then get an ankylosouros or a dodicoros set whichever one you want on wonder carry the one you want with an argentavis then go to stone to get metal or go to somewhere with gold rocks for even more metal if u want gold rocks go to a volcano you can get a lot of metal and that’s how you get a lot of metal hope that helped
If on mobile to to herbivore island on the cliff most of the rocks are metal
On top of the cliffs at the bottom left of crystal Isles is are sets of 5 or more metal nodes per cliff
Tame a Dunkel and go break coral under the sea and you will have alot metal
I don’t know how the magmasaur isn’t the best metal farmer, breaking one rock can get you over 500-600 metal on official servers with no boost
You just have to get an ankylo and go to herbivore Island and you will find the metal rock
Remember to keep all your metal in your anky due to weight decreasing. Crystal, obsidian, and stone go in the argy.
Use something that can carry an anky with good wight and fly to some metal nodes really helpful if you don’t have a base in the mountains
Once you get an argy, no need to level weight for your ankylo. Argies are able to carry ankylos, so focus your argy points on weight so you are able to carry all that metal in the anky
Ankylosis is the way to go on mobile just take r lvl to 99 and get metal
If you have a ankylosaurus upgrade it's melee stat to get more metal
Metal is scare in Gen2 but you can find it in mountains and the space area as well as element and element shards
Tame an Anky and find the gold rocks and destroy them you get about 10-30 metal per rock.
The island has a volcano In the middle of the map full of metal,crystal and obsidian take any flying tame up there and you can get like 300 metal depending on your weight
If you play on a random gen ark then you can get a decent amount of metal from the slightly bigger small rocks on the beach
A argie and a anky are good combos.just go to mountains with ur argie carrying the anky and if the argie has no things in it's inventory and you pick up a anky full with metal your argie can pick it up with weight left over!
