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.
What you get harvesting corpses with Parasaur

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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Parasaur is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Support category.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the Parasaur has respectable melee power. At 200 base HP, the Parasaur is relatively fragile. Its base Stamina of 450 gives it respectable staying power. It carries 480 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
Taming the Parasaur requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Feed it Basic Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the Parasaur earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C. A wild Parasaur is worth 1 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.14 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
