What is a magmasaur used for? magmasaur utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These things are king at metal/obsidian/crystal farming. The only benefit of a tek stryder is teleporting mats back to base. I just set up and filled an Indy forge on the redwoods mountain with a freshly raised 125 without lvling. 166% melee. Weekend boost rates (2x harvesting). If you get even a half decent one, you can easily have more metal than you know what to do with
Be careful when you aren’t riding them, if they are attacked they will taunt and a low level magmasaur will die pretty quickly when literally everything around it(even passive animals like parasaurs)attack them. I almost lost my lvl 60 magmasaur when a dilo hit it and then all the stegos and brontos started attacking.
Don't listen to the Dododex listing, Magmasaurs are the BEST metal gatherers and it is worth it to steal one. A 100 melee gets way more metal than my 500 melee Ank did. Just grab a few Pteras you don't care about and head in there. The level doesn't really matter because any Magmasaur will gather more metal than an Ank.
Also, when you get a Magma, you don't have to worry about eruption because it is immune to it.
