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.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the VR Ferox as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Variant group.
Health-wise, the VR Ferox sits at 1,100 base, making it solidly tanky. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. With 1000 base Stamina, the VR Ferox has massive stamina reserves. A base Weight of 350 means good carrying capacity.
To tame the VR Ferox, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Simple Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the VR Ferox fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
