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 Shinehorn is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Shoulder Pet category.

Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Shinehorn sits at 115 base, making it glass-cannon fragile. With 180 base Stamina, the Shinehorn has decent staying power. A base Weight of 100 means average weight tolerance.

This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Plant Species Z Seed.

As a tame, the Shinehorn earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.05 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
