ARK: Survival Ascended - Introducing the new metal farm, the Karkinos Ankylosaurus!
Explanation of a new metal farming method in ARK: Survival Ascended, the Karkino-Ankylo (a method combining Karkinos and Ankylosaurus). Compared to the conventional Dunkleosteus method, the advantages of Karkino-Ankylo, specific gathering locations, efficient stat allocation, and actual gathering results are introduced.
Comparison with Dunkleosteus:
1. 🦀⛏️ What is Karkino-Ankylo? Transition from Dunkle and Revisions
- ✅ Due to updates regarding automatic collection by Doedicurus and Ankylosaurus, collection is now possible without weight restrictions.
- ✅ As a result, the "Karkino-Ankylo," which involves transporting an Ankylosaurus with a Karkinos, is gaining attention as an efficient metal farm.
- ✅ It has the potential to replace the conventional Dunkleosteus-based metal farm.
| Dinosaur | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Karkinos | Tame and breed wild individuals. Specialize in weight. |
| Ankylosaurus | Ideally, one with ore weight reduction characteristics (Mineral Bearing). Quick Hitting is also effective. |

2. ⚖️⛏️ Karkino-Ankylo Characteristics: Weight Reduction Effect and Transport Capacity
- ✅ Mineral Bearing trait significantly increases the Ankylosaurus's carrying capacity.
- ✅ Compared to Dunkleosteus, the amount of metal ore that can be transported can be doubled (up to 600 stacks).
- ✅ Ankylosaurus originally has a 50% weight reduction effect for metal ore.
| Characteristic | Effect |
|---|---|
| Mineral Bearing Tier 2 (x2) | 300 Metal Ore → Weight 14.6 |
| Mineral Bearing Tier 3 | 300 Metal Ore → Weight 4.5 (Ideal Value) |

3. 🗺️⛏️ Recommended Gathering Locations and How to Use Karkino-Ankylo
- ✅ Recommended gathering location: Mid-layer near coordinates 40.9, 79.6 in Aberration.
- ✅ It is recommended to bring highland creatures (such as Featherlights).
- ✅ Carry the Ankylosaurus with the Karkinos and have the Ankylosaurus automatically collect metal ore.
Comparison with Dunkleosteus:
- ✅ Easy to operate: Because it is collected on land instead of underwater, there is no need to worry about vertical movement.
- ✅ Easy stamina management: Karkinos consumes little stamina.
- ✅ High defense ability: You can attack while holding the Ankylosaurus with the Karkinos.
- ⚠️ Note: If you get too close to the player's buildings, the Ankylosaurus may fall from the Karkinos.

4. ⏱️⛏️ 15-Minute Metal Farm Results
- ✅ Collected a total of 99,740 metal ores in 15 minutes of gathering.
09:34 - 12:35
5. 💪⛏️ Ankylosaurus Stat Allocation and Efficiency
- ✅ It is recommended to specialize the Ankylosaurus's stats in melee damage rather than weight.
- ✅ Increasing melee damage increases the amount of collection.
- ✅ As a guideline, efficient collection becomes possible when melee damage exceeds 1000%.
- ✅ If a more powerful Ankylosaurus is used, it may be possible to collect 150,000 or more metal ores in 15 minutes.
