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.

The Grendel is one of ARK: Survival Ascended's boss creatures, fought in its own arena with a prepared team. It falls within the Boss classification.

With 3500 base Stamina, the Grendel has outstanding staying power. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Grendel has decent hitting power. At 100,000 base HP, the Grendel is extraordinarily tanky. It carries 1000 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.

Once tamed, the Grendel guards its arena fiercely - come prepared with your best creatures and gear. A wild Grendel is worth 1500 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
