Variant
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.
The VR Allosaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the VR Allosaurus has respectable melee power. Starting at 630 Health, it's quite durable. Stamina sits at 250 base, providing average stamina. A base Weight of 380 means a solid weight pool.
You'll need to knock the VR Allosaurus 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 VR Allosaurus fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 32°C. Killing a wild VR Allosaurus yields 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.53 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
