Range shows the approximate variation around each simulated average.

Node yields assume the recorded base harvest HP (e.g. 1000 for Redwood trees, 620 for Metal nodes). In-game, trees and rocks whose harvest health scales with their size have per-instance HP that varies with the node's size, so actual yields per node will vary. The values shown represent the average.

Best Tool for Pelt

Pelt harvest multipliers210 creature records. Comparison score = average items per node.

Tamed levels invested in Melee Damage. More melee = more resources per hit. Max 73 levels after taming.
