DMG
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 Shadowmane is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the DMG classification.
Health-wise, the Shadowmane sits at 825 base, making it quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Shadowmane has decent hitting power. With 450 base Stamina, the Shadowmane has respectable staying power. A base Weight of 425 means a solid weight pool.
Taming the Shadowmane doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Filled Fish Basket (1.5x Fish).
After taming, the Shadowmane earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. A wild Shadowmane is worth 5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.95 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
