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.

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 Dire Bear as a tamable, omnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the DMG classification.

At 400 base HP, the Dire Bear is moderately tough. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 500 base Stamina, the Dire Bear has good endurance. A base Weight of 650 means excellent carrying capacity.

To tame the Dire Bear, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Giant Bee Honey for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Dire Bear pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. Killing a wild Dire Bear yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.66 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
