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.
X-Dunkleosteus isn't used to harvest meat or hide from corpses.
Check the node yields above to see what it gathers from resource nodes.
Found throughout the ARKs, the X-Dunkleosteus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Variant group.
The X-Dunkleosteus has 689 base Health - quite durable. With 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Dunkleosteus has respectable melee power. Its base Stamina of 200 gives it decent staying power. It carries 910 base Weight - massive inventory space.
You'll need to knock the X-Dunkleosteus 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 X-Dunkleosteus is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Defeating one in the wild grants 12 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.43 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
