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

Argy+mantis=more metal than you will need in the whole game

Give my dunkle a moment,i just drop him on metal and cryo him before death

For starters,ankyylosaurus is best for getting metal,magmasours are better at gathering metal but it is hard to acquire their egg.

If you need a lot of metal just turn up the harvesting amount and go to those cluster of rock of the rocks by or in the water. It really works don’t tell anyone on you server so that you can kick there@$$ with all your fancy metal tools.

Just go for shiny rocks and always Cary a weapon and go in low populated places

A great way to get lots if metal: Step 1: Get an argy. Step 2: Mine metal on a mountain and put it in your argy's inventory. (Not yours!) Step 3: get lots of metal, argy's have a 50% reduction. Step 4: Go back, and refine your metal into ingots.

Magmasaur or a apprentice+ mining drill in an abb surface entrance or abb blue zone is amazing metal harvesting tactic

Magmasaur is faster than anky on the ground, and gathers more, you don’t need a flier

Guys if u tame a tek stryder (the type with the cannon thing on top of its head) you can use the secondary attack to get about 14 metal per regular rock (not beach rock just regular). If u have lots of these rocks around you can get a stack of metal easily. And it's a lot…

Thanks guys I’ve gone to herbivore island at the bottom right of the map and on my first run there I’ve gotten around 1,000 metal!! Planning to go back there ever once in a while!

I would just like to say:

Rest In Peace Herbi, you will be missed.

In my opinion a phoenix is the best because you can just fly to the location

Tek stryders are underrated. If you are late game I recommend stryders over ankys when gen2 has metal biome

I got a base on metal mountin so tame Anky and now I farm metal
