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 X-Yutyrannus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps. It belongs to the Variant category.
Its base Stamina of 420 gives it respectable staying power. Dealing 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Yutyrannus brings decent hitting power to the table. Starting at 1,067 Health, it's solidly tanky. A base Weight of 500 means an enormous weight pool.
You'll need to knock the X-Yutyrannus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. For best results, use Extraordinary Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
Once tamed, the X-Yutyrannus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 32°C and 34°C. A wild X-Yutyrannus is worth 30 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.94 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
