Stone

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.
The Direwolf is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the DMG classification.
With 330 base Health, the Direwolf is reasonably durable. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. Its base Stamina of 260 gives it average stamina. Weight capacity starts at 170, giving it a reasonable inventory size.
The Direwolf is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Direwolf is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. A wild Direwolf is worth 6 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.58 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
