Metal Nodes
Stone
MetalEach 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.

Raw Meat
Hide
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 Jerboa, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. Classified under the Shoulder Pet group.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Jerboa brings solid damage output to the table. Health-wise, the Jerboa sits at 55 base, making it extremely fragile. Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves. It carries 120 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.
Taming the Jerboa requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Plant Species Y Seed for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Jerboa is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild Jerboa yields 0.5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.51 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
