Player-written tips for Metal in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Go to gen 2 and smash rocks with the super punch. Easy metal and can travel encumbered

Take a karkinos on a map that spawns then and duel wield ankylos, so much metal

Since ankylos have a much higher weight reduction, if you really want to maximize metal for each run, you should keep all the metal in the ankylo while picking it up on an argy or quetz and placing it next to metal rocks.

Easier said than done but get a magmasaur and level up weight. It'll one shot nodes and with 300 melee I get like 600-700 metal each hit on official 1x gathering.

Bring some strong dinos as bodyguards. Magmas aren't good at fighting

A good way on aberration is to bring karkanos with anky and when you finish with one rock use your karkanos to throw it

Crystal isles has one of the best metal areas to farm. Close to the red ob on a river past a mountain range that has some red trees on it you can find a river that gets you stone metal and obsidian. 👍

The way i go on metal runs is go to the desert with a quetz and an anky on its platform and i get the metal and put my anky back on the quetz and it barely weighs anything because of weight reduction note: i only do this on official servers if its unoficial and inf weight this…

Metal. Metal is USEFUL. But where oh where are they on Scorched Earth?

Magmasaur can get you easy 5k per node and abb is a good place for metal.

Super metal guide metal at the EarlyGame to the EndGame

In this guide you will find ways to get metal at the beginning of the game easily even massive metal farms!

Early game metal :

requirements :

Pick or metal pick.

To get your first metals, look for river rocks…

For collect a lot of metal .. you have to use your ankle in the water try it 😍

What you need to do is find rocks on mountains or shores(the shores have shinier, more rounder rocks) and hit then with any kind of pick.

A great way to get some of this early game is to use your pick, walk near your base and mine the small piles of rocks on the ground, they usually give a bit more metal than the large rocks.

Large rocks with metal pick> 2 metal. Small piles on the ground>4-6
