I had a really good pick to I didn’t see the need to use one of these guys until I found out that these guys can hold over there max weight with just harvesting with max weight since putting items in the guys inventory when it’s full doesn’t work this helps I just pick it up with my flyer and go around dropping it on rocks and with the weight reduction the anky has I can carry more up if this was helpful

Remember even if ably is full of metal you can still carry just fine with argentavis- the metal doesn’t count to the carrying weight.

Everyone talks about metal farming with them but they are also the only tame that gets both flint and stone from regular rocks. A pick does that too but ankys can defend themselves better then u and ur pick lol. Oh and can farm faster. Use one for metal but let them hit some normal rocks so you can become the sparkpowder lord

The higher the melee on Ankylo the more ressources is NOT true. That's a myth. It just means more damage, so that you can destroy nodes in one shot when you reach a certain melee percentage. One shotting nodes = faster farming. After that point is reached, leveling melee is useless (unless you want a fighter ankylo). Level melee until you can one shot nodes, then invest in weight.

Use these for getting berries,really they can harvest like 100 at a time. Just tamed one with rock carrots and you’ll have a harvesting machine

:)

Very good for metal 10/10 would recommend.

I've tamed an anky recently and I found out how efficient it is. Just make sure to lvl up on weight as it stops auto harvesting after its half way through its weight.

To the quetz and argy guys. Tame a karkinos and farm on ab best way hands down

Tip: More damage = more metal.

When breeding Ankylosaurus, imprinting is a great investment.

I'm not sure If this is obvious to everyone else but I realised its 100% worth it, not only can they carry soooo much more metal than you, they also don't have durability like your weak little hatchet so you don't have to bring an extra three on your volcano trip.

Give your anky tons of berries and/or veggie cakes, they totally deserve it!

Metal metal metal metal metal metal

My Anky Buddy is a tank and great at metal strongly recommend

it’s better to carry it with an argentavis instead of transferring all the metal and cryo poding it

Metal only weighs 0.25 kg in an ankylo instead of 1 kg.

These guys are good all around. They can do good damage and are good resource collectors. The only downside is that they are very slow.

You cannot lie this is the best creature of all Time for getting metal. If you need metal tame the Dino.

The Anky is the M-1 Abrams of the Cretaceous. It’s tough as hell, and packs a punch with that tail. They can take out a TRex pretty easy. However they really shine as Metal miners. Anky reduces the weight of carrier Metal to 15% normal weight. So a stake of 300 will only weigh 45 on an Anky. So never transfer Metal off your Anky until you are putting it in the forge. Also, conventional wisdom says pump lots of damage. This is wrong. Don’t go beyond 220% or so. It kills the nodes to quickly and you actually lose Metal ore that way. Take a few more whacks and get about 600 per big node instead of just 300. When leveling friend Anky, focus 220 Damage, over 10k health, and the rest in weight. A low level Anky is always better than no Anky, so if you get a low one, get it to 220 damage, 600 weight and the rest in health (until 10k) and leftover in weight. These dinos are essential to the survival and success of any Survivor or Tribe!

Great for flint, metal and cactus sap as well. A must have in Scorched Earth

If you need to get metal while being a low level or not having a anky mine river rocks it has a bigger chance of getting metal than rocks

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.

The Ankylosaurus harvests a lot of metal when hitting a metal rock. Up to 130 on official servers. They can also smash normal rocks (which are everywhere) to get a lot of flint and about half as much stone. This is perfect for making sparkpowder.

It can also be carried by Argentavis (which has a lot of weight), so you can easily transport your Anky to mountains for metal.
