A handy guide to utility tames:

Achatina- Mainly found in swampy areas. Tame with sweet veggie cake. After tame, produces lots of CP and Org Poly when set to wander.

Anglerfish- found in deep oceans, the anglerfish is relatively hard to tame. It doesn’t require a saddle, and gathers huge quantities of silica pearls

Anky- Found in a plethora of different places. Look in snow, mountain, jungle, desert, etc. A relatively easy knockout tame, the anky is wonderful at gathering metal.

Argentavis- Found in mountains, snow, or desert biomes mainly. Another relatively easy tame, reduces weight for many useful materials. With high weight capacity, they are useful for transporting items or creatures. They also have a smithy in their saddle. Also, on a sadder note, Dilos got into my breeding buIdling and killed my best female 😢

Beelzebufo- Found in swamps mainly. A very easy tame, can gather cementing paste from insects.

Castoroides- Found in swampy areas, some snow biomes, and rivers/lakes. Not the easiest tame, but not to hard. When tamed, they gather wood like a pro! They have a smithy saddle.

Direbear- Found in redwoods and snow biomes. Lives alongside dangerous creatures, making it tricky to tame, but once tamed, it’s like a metal sickle that gathers 5x the fiber

Doedicurus- Found in redwoods, mountains, snow, desert, volcano. A relatively easy tame, although if it takes too much damage, it will roll up, drastically increasing the torpor it takes. Once tamed, it is a beast at gathering obsidian and stone

Dunkleosteus- Difficult tame thanks to its heavy armor. An oceanic tame, they are the anky/Doedic of the sea, gathering large amounts of metal and stone

Karkinos- found in Aberration and Val and CI and Genesis. in my opinion, these are utility tames. They are difficult to tame due to the fact that you can’t use normal tranquilizers. Once tamed, they can carry a maximum of two creatures. Carrying doedics or ankys in their claws can be a very efficient way to get metal.

Mammoth- Found in snow. Not too hard to tame, and gathers wood very effectively!

Moschops- found on beaches and forests. can harvest many different materials effectively. You can choose which materials your Moschops can harvest better

Quetzal-very hard tame, but doable, especially with a tribe. Has astounding weight and is great for transport!

Snow Owl- Easy knockout tame found in extinction snow biome. When tamed, can heal other creatures and is a great travel mount.

Therizinosaurus- Challenging tame found in jungles. Can gather wood, thatch and fiber quite well.

Thorny Dragon- Easy tame found in deserts. A good tame for gathering wood on SE, a map lacking many normal wood gatherers.

Hope u liked! Pls 🆙 the tip. Have a nice day! 😀

Leveling up the melee attack makes you gain more amount of metal

Shoot it in the face whilst going backwards there to slow to reach you when it runs away go in front of it and carry on shooting it in the face with tranqs. Vote ⏫

1. Get tranq arrows and a crossbow

2. Find an anky of your desire

3. Shoot it in the head while walking backwards (they're slow so you can just walk while shooting)

4. When it runs away chase after it and shoot it

5. It'll be knocked out.

6. Feed it recommend food and any narcos if needed.

7. Congratulations!

They get about 3x more metal than you! And depending on the level they can easily kill Raptors and other small predators.

They're found almost everywhere

Beaches, highlands, chalk hills, green forest, I've even see some near desert.

First ankys are good at gathering metal but you sill get a set amount of metal from a node. 220% is fine anything more than points in that is a waste. People have for years not understood that.

Second keep all the metal on your anky never transfer while mining. Ankys have reduced weight carrying ore whatever dino you use to carry the anky with dont transfer the ore.

Third its better to have a low level anky and low level argent than no anky at all.

Fourth the best place to get metal by far is abberation using crabs to carry your anky you can get tens of thousands of metal ore in 30 minutes its just insane.

Fifth again anything over 220% melee is a waste in skill points I would recommend 220% melee the rest HP a dead anky isnt good to anyone.

Thats my experience in around 4k hours all solo pvp official player trust me I know!!!

Best dino for gathering metal 9/10

does upping melee affect the amount of metal gained?

1. Go to herbivore island

2. Make sure Y got hide Armour

3. Make sure Y got tranquilizer arrows

4. SHOOT the BEAST down!

5.when knocked out, feed it purple berrys or rockarrots

6. Give the thing a saddle

7. KNOCK SOME METAL OUT OF THE GROUND!!!!!👍

Metal boi that's all u need to know

One of these paired with quetzal harvesting will give you the fastest harvesting for metal, crystal and obsidian. Just level melee and let the quetz take the weight of the Anky.

If you're breeding Ankys 100 berrys last 19:32

So you got enough time for a poo

Pump melee granted your going to encumber faster but the metal you get out of a rock is higher

you can find them easily at easy area number 3 then get enough levels for raft and go to the small island because that’s where I find a bunch, good luck. please up👆so more people can see this, thank you😁.

If being chased run to them cuz they can kill carnos in the wild😮😮

I’m the guy who made the list of utility tames, I just want to say that I wrote that doedics take increased torpor when they’re in a ball, that was a typo, they take much less torpor.

Grab him with argentav or quetz, if u r not patience enough with their speed. (Dont be dumb like me who travelling from redwood to snow biome for obsidian with only riding this guy) damn.... Im so nub XD

If you think the mountains are too dangerous

Just go to the Herbivour Island

Its the small island in the south east of the map

The Ankylosaurus will not attack you in the wild unless you attack first. When battling you can run away quite easily, just be aware, they have high health, so if you plan to kill one make sure you have enough stamina and resources to kill them.

It takes a long time to tame just saying
