What ARK players use the Angler for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

The best and if not only Dino to gather pearls with great efficiency! Gathers about 5 times more pearls than you pick up by hand. Level stamina and weight as melee is not worth the investment.

I think that the angler fish antenna should have a blindness attack

When breeding anglers, pick up a baby angler in a fish basket and then release it. It will instantly become an adult

Angler gel can be used in fireplace substitutes as wood

It’s way more than 6 minutes per one gel depending on what you’re using it in. 6 minutes in a campfire. Well over 30 minutes in a standing torch.

amazing on aberration. just tame one, cryopod it, and put it in fertile lake and you’ll wake our with 15,000 pearls each run.

Anglerfish are excellent harvesters for collecting silica pearls

They are very good at harvesting pearls. Another good use is their incredible gel. You get way more gel from an angler than from snails.

I went out of my way to tame this for black pearls but I realized my 140% apprentice pickaxe gathers slightly more than the angler even though I pumped points into melee.

Wow what a Bob fish ! The best tame for underwater exploration! lvl 216 with good stats! Amazing! :-)

An angler combined with a flying tame is the best way to get silica pearls to your base, take a flying tame with lots of weight when you are collecting silica pears, when you're done dump all the pearls into your flier and fly back to your base

If you had these guys to light up your water pens it's time to dust them off. They now gather pearls.
