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 Paraceratherium, a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It belongs to the Soaker category.

At 1,026 base HP, the Paraceratherium is impressively tough. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Paraceratherium brings respectable melee power to the table. With 300 base Stamina, the Paraceratherium has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 850, giving it excellent carrying capacity.

You'll need to knock the Paraceratherium unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Superior Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the Paraceratherium pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. A wild Paraceratherium is worth 12 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.66 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
