Stone
MetalEach 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.

Raw Meat

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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Bulbdog is a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.
With 200 base Stamina, the Bulbdog has average stamina. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Bulbdog brings decent hitting power to the table. Starting at 145 Health, it's extremely fragile. Weight capacity starts at 120, giving it a reasonable inventory size.
Taming the Bulbdog doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Plant Species Z Seed.
After taming, the Bulbdog is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.05 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
