Calculate expected resource yield per node for any dino. Select a node type and harvester.
Each hit on a node generates resource drops. The game randomly picks a resource from the loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the node faster, which can reduce total drops. The "best" melee is where you get the most drops.
Compare dino harvest yields from creature corpses. Select a corpse and up to 3 harvesters to compare.
Each hit on a corpse generates resource drops based on damage dealt. The game randomly picks a resource from the corpse's loot table for each drop. Higher melee depletes the corpse faster, which can reduce total drops. All dinos get the same resource distribution from a given corpse - the difference is total drops from base damage.
The Aberrant Ovis is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
Stamina sits at 100 base, providing tires quickly. Melee starts at 106% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. The Aberrant Ovis has 96 base Health - extremely fragile. Weight capacity starts at 90, giving it not built for hauling.
Taming the Aberrant Ovis doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Sweet Vegetable Cake.
After taming, the Aberrant Ovis earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Defeating one in the wild grants 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.79 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
