Raw Prime MeatEach 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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Argentavis as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Farmer classification.
At 365 base HP, the Argentavis is decently sturdy. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. With 400 base Stamina, the Argentavis has good endurance. Weight capacity starts at 400, giving it good carrying capacity.
To tame the Argentavis, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Superior Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the Argentavis is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 12°C–13.5°C temperature window. Killing a wild Argentavis yields 7 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.68 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
