Mammoth
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 Mammoth, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It belongs to the Support category.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Mammoth brings solid damage output to the table. At 1,020 base HP, the Mammoth is solidly tanky. With 330 base Stamina, the Mammoth has moderate endurance. It carries 500 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.
You'll need to knock the Mammoth unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Superior Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Mammoth is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 8 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.62 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
