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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Daeodon as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Healer classification.
Its base Stamina of 250 gives it average stamina. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Daeodon sits at 900 base, making it solidly tanky. A base Weight of 400 means a solid weight pool.
To tame the Daeodon, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Daeodon is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Killing a wild Daeodon yields 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
