Magmasaur
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.
The Magmasaur is a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Farmer classification.
Starting at 3,000 Health, it's one of the toughest creatures in the game. Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. Stamina sits at 500 base, providing respectable staying power. A base Weight of 550 means massive inventory space.
After taming, the Magmasaur is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 90°C–110°C temperature window. Killing a wild Magmasaur yields 120 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
