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.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Iguanodon as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Misc classification.

With 250 base Health, the Iguanodon is on the squishy side. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it decent staying power. A base Weight of 375 means a solid weight pool.

To tame the Iguanodon, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Iguanodon earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 24°C–28°C temperature window. A wild Iguanodon is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.32 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
