In the world of Ark, two popular taming choices are Ankylosaurus (Anky) and Doedicurus. Both dinosaurs have unique abilities that make them efficient for harvesting resources, with Anky being renowned for its ability to collect berries and metal, while Doedicurus is praised for its impressive gathering capabilities of stone and green gems. In this article, we will explore which of the two dinosaurs is better for collecting crystals.
Summary of Key Points

• Anky: gathers berries, metal, no crystal gathering capability, but is a good breeding mount and can collect its own metal.
• Doedicurus: gathers stones, green gems, does not collect metal or berry, has a unique, armored tail that allows shattering rocks.
History of Resource Gathering in Anky and Doedicurus
Ankylosaurus:
• Ankylosauruses, also known as Anky, are bipedal dinosaurs that feed on plant-based food such as fruits, seeds, and nuts.
• Over time, Anky discovered that its tail was heavy enough to break rocks allowing it to gather resources independently.
• In Ark game, Anky’s ancestors had an ability to generate metal ore, which their descendants retained.
Doedicurus:
• Doedicurus is a large creature that lived during the Upper Miocene to Pleistocene era.
• From its body, scientists estimate that it was likely heavily armored with a thick armor plate running along its spinal column and a bony tail that could have reached up to 6.
• Due to its advanced gathering skills, Doedicurus had a more mobile lifestyle compared to Anky.
