Podric Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Does anyone know how the pearl gathering scales with melee? I recently tamed an angler and i was curious as to weather i should pump melee or speed for maximum gathering efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oScottieHo Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 They seem to gather the same amount regardless of melee,50 - 60 pearls a time. Ive leveled movement,health and weight. Melee is on 387. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goaty Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Leveling melee helps a lot. Someone said he got 40 pearls on a new angler, after a few levels in melee he could get 100 per node. I would say movement speed and melee. Start with movement to out run plesis and mosas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark7np Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 No, meele helps quite a bit, so leveling it does help with the yields per node. I don't remember comparable numbers... We went from just short of 50 on a 120isch kibble tame and x1 to almost 100 with x1.5, a 140+ and quite a number of meele points. It can go up to 150 as far as we heard from other tribes. The consensus in my tribe is that It'll probably go even higher with imprint and mate boost. So for us, full meele it is. It gathers a lot either way though, and after a while you'll be swimming in electronics. So if you need to evade hostile fish, it's probably better to push speed first. Even a relatively low level one will likely gather more than by hand, and it is a lot more convenient. You may not even need to gather more per node to sate your pearl/electronics needs.

This is a subjective observation, but sadly a wrong one. Ark works in a way that more damage always gives you better amounts of ressources. That's a core mechanic. So yes. Damage does affect it.

myksta0121 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Yes melee 100% increases gather rate. Tested on singleplayer spawned in lvl 150 angler was getting about 50 pearls per node. After addexperience 100000000 admin command and putting all points into melee was getting 100+ pearls per node. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverly Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 thats nice .. i will breed me one +imprint :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup3riorArs3nal Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 It takes fewer levels to double it's speed than it would to double it's harvest. IE for Anglers it would be better to increase speed over melee. Especially since if you aren't fast enough squids are insanely lethal to Anglers.

Gather more= move slower. Gather less= move faster. Personally, i enjoy just moving faster. I am sure 10 points in movement speed versus 10 points of melee on a newly tamed angler will reveal you will get more pearls with the speed as it probably isnt a huge amount at just 10-20 points in melee as was tested by previous individuals in the discussion.

NONE Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I tamed a level 30 or 40 just to check on the pearl gatehring abilities last week. I pumped its speed by 25% and and putting stam into the rest. I still have a vault full of pearls that are going unused. I'd say it depends on the level. if its a lower level fish just go for speed and stam, but if you can afford it w/ a higher level you should def increase dmg for more pearly goodness.

DarkCloud Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I just pumped speed, it gets a ton with base melee, so i'd rather just get from node to node quicker and be able to run from stuff/get back to my parking spot quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this. And this is right. But the post I quoted was about saying that damage does not affect it, which is simply wrong. The guy didn't say a thing about speed being en par with melee in regards of efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he did say you needed quite a few points to gain a substantial amount through melee :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NONE Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 yeah, speed vs dmg is definitely debatable when it comes to efficiency, if you're like me and have had more than once keyboard breaking experience in the murky depths the increased speed is definitely a priority.

Silk Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Anyone who says melee doesn't matter is flat out wrong... big time wrong. I did the tests. I took a bred imprinted angler with 402.7 melee, and these are the results: Tamed angler with 200 melee, no mate boost: 22 pearls per bite Person without imprinting riding it, no mate boost: 48 pearls per bite Person without imprinting riding it, mate boosted: 52 pearls per bite Person WITH imprinting, no mate boost : 68 pearls per bite Person WITH imprinting, mate boosted: 78 pearls per bite --- I mean, it doesn't get more definitive than this.
