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

does upping melee affect the amount of metal gained?

Best dino for gathering metal 9/10

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.

In his inventory metal weighs a quarter of the real weight

Metal is a quarter of its weight in an Ankylo.

Tame this if you haven't bought genesis part 1

An ankylo (leveled in melee) and a quetz or argy (leveled in weight) is the single best way to farm metal. Just pick the anky with your bird and drop it on metal rocks. Then get on the anky and hit the metal rocks. The ankylo’s weight does not matter since the bird carries all

Everyone knows that these are great for metal but they can also harvest berries very well with the alternate attack button. They are also the best around for harvesting flint, so are great when you’re looking to make a lot of gunpowder.

These things are great for resource gathering, the higher melee the more resources you get so upgrade that.

Collecting: wood=thatch. Fiberflint=stone. (Won’t harvest bodies)

So a lvl 30 anky can fight and alpha raptor! Mine has killed 3 due to it hitting hard and knocking them back, the raptors can't hit them! Ankylosaurs aren't just for metal, but they are also for alpha raptor killing machines! These things are my favorite herbivore because of this.

It makes no sense that an anky cant damage stone...

It is the only creature that harvests EVERYTHING! Trees, stone, plants, metal. If you want to clear out an area bring an anky.

Why would you level spd , health on ankylo , only noobs do that . Level up melee only and use argie or qz to farm with it

With the recent update Ankylo can hold four times the metal because it weighs less as long as it's in ankylo 's inventory. So 100 metal will weigh 25lbs instead of 100. Also tamed Anky will have more speed than usual. Happy farming ^__^ -Geo

DONT USE ANKY FOR OBSIDION, for mobile Anky is the highest ranking creature for obsidian but the Dododex is wrong, the doedic is MUCH better at obsidion collection

Melee 480 imprinted, 520 not.
The rest in weight or speed.

The Ankylosaurus is, in my opinion, one of the best dinos to tame as a low level. Not only is it the best dino to gether metal, it is also a great taming mount, because it can collect berries and can kill little things like Raptors easy. This will be one of your most used dinos when you get into the higher levels and taming an Anky as soon as you can make the saddle (lvl 40) is highly recommended.
