Drakeling
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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Drakeling is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.
Starting at 150 Health, it's on the squishy side. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Drakeling has solid damage output. Stamina sits at 150 base, providing moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 65, giving it very limited carrying capacity.
This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Exceptional Kibble.
As a tame, the Drakeling is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 17°C and 20°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.28 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
