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

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

I've heard that you aren't supposed to level the melee past 800, because it will 1 shot the rich metal nodes giving you less metal, instead of two hits, which would give you more metal.

Went to herbivore island in the hopes of taking one and bringing back a couple hundred metal. I ended up leaving with 3,700 metal. Such a good investment, get yourself an ankylo

Me and my tribe mate were pretty new to the game and we needed metal as we were always low on rifel ammo so we got Anklo we got two .For some reason we got 2 level 50 end 73 they both were mates and they're perfect for going to mountains now we collect metal in duos with both and it is efficient

I don't know if anyone else has thought of this but shouldn't ankys and dodics do torpor with their tails

does upping melee affect the amount of metal gained?

Necessary tame
#1 Metal miner unless ur on genisis cuz magmasaurs

It can be carried by argy, reducing weight for metal cuz argy has -50% while this guy has a wopping -85% weight reduction, plus its faster than riding normally

Gathers immerusable amounts of flint

Ankylos are not useless even in the wild. If you're being chased by a carnivore, run to them. They are very strong depending on its level. And they usually spawn on groups, which means they can kill anything easily.
