Sabertooth
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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Sabertooth is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Misc category.
Its base Stamina of 200 gives it average stamina. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Sabertooth brings decent hitting power to the table. At 250 base HP, the Sabertooth is relatively fragile. Weight capacity starts at 200, giving it a reasonable inventory size.
Taming the Sabertooth requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
After taming, the Sabertooth is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 5 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.48 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
