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 Raptor is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
With 150 base Stamina, the VR Raptor has average stamina. Melee starts at 100% - respectable melee power that scales with level-ups. The VR Raptor has 200 base Health - relatively fragile. A base Weight of 140 means a reasonable inventory size.
The VR Raptor is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Feed it Simple Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
Once tamed, the VR Raptor fills a general-purpose role, adaptable to whatever your tribe currently needs. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 20°C–28°C temperature window. A wild VR Raptor is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.23 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
