Mine metal rock with metal pickaxe

Do not go one the mountains, it’s very dangerous it’s much better near the redwoods but there’s sill terror birds

Use a mining drill it’s better than an anky and saves yo the time of taming one

Get an anky and level weight and attack.

Use to mine metal a Dino you need

Using a Pteranadon to fly over to herbivore to tame an anklyosaur make sure you have a raft and watch out for the giant tuna and megalodon Please. Oh the anklyosaur put him on the top of the so you don't get stuck in him.

If ur on mobile just build a raft and tame a pteranodon then go to the mountain in the top left of the map and make a couple of runs with it. You can tame multiple PTs and it works even better

Use a pick in the extremely early game

The best duo is argy and anky if trio doed anky argy

Magmasaur is better than anky at metal farming

this is basically infinite iron mining tool.

You can still get this from regular rocks if ur or in the mood to go find metal rocks but it’s many times faster to go to the top of volcano with an argy and anky for larger amounts

If you go to the north cave and have a saber or raptor I can get away from predators fast while u farm metal and crystal or even stone

It is not that rare were I am in rocks it is

If you are a beginner go to the island in the bottom right. Tame an anky and start farming.

I got a really good tip to get metal ingots

Warning it’s olny on mobile

Farm artifact of sky lord

Then get as many revival platforms

Then demolish them for ingots! About 200 per platform if you play casual

100 if you play medium

50 on hard

Nothing on brutal ):

A lot of people should know this, but if your slow or just new, pay attention. You mainly find metal near water, therw is a difference between metal rocks and just rocks, metal rocks are more grayish and more shiny, if you don't see any, you might be able to see normal rocks under water, they drop metal but not the 20 something you would get from a metal rock, mainly search in rivers, NOT ON SHORES they don't spawn on shores, if you do see some they're the only ones there, usually they're near predators and carnivores so don't get in the water unless your willing to drop the soap for a piranha, also bring bolas there are usually raptors near them, and have a fast dino or a flyer, then are also near forests, the most I've found were in the south western rivers near the obelisks, hope this helped and don't drop the soap to the piranhas.

Take your argy then go to the nearest mountain drop the ankilo then ride it to a rock mine it then put that sweet iron into your argy then g home cand you got some iron

Go to red obelisk on survival evolved there you will find a lot of river rocks mine those river rocks give a decent amount of metal plus there's no enemy's there this is to replace going to the mountain dont go to mountain to gather metal you'll loose your favrite anklo poor herbi rip herbi
