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.

What you get harvesting corpses with Yi Ling

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 Yi Ling is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Wall Runner category.

Its base Stamina of 300 gives it moderate endurance. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. At 325 base HP, the Yi Ling is reasonably durable. It carries 140 base Weight - average weight tolerance.

The Yi Ling is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the Yi Ling is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 38°C–42°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.26 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
