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.

The Castoroides is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Farmer group.

With 180 base Stamina, the Castoroides has decent staying power. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Castoroides sits at 450 base, making it reasonably durable. It carries 300 base Weight - generous inventory space.

The Castoroides is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Superior Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Castoroides earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.84 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
