anubis3691 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Alright guys so I know, the amount of resources you get per hit is based on melee damage % stat. My question is, if I take for example a rex, and it's base damage is 65. A giga base damage is 400? 420? Whichever. Let's say I up the rexs % so it equals the same as a base 100% melee giga.. Will the Rex, with what would have to be around 500-600 I guess melee % gather the same amount of meat as the 100% melee giga? I'm asking because you really can't buff giga weight, but you can a rex, so I was thinking about taking one of my 12k hp 449 melee Rex's and just boosting weight and (edit) melee**, so I could pull all the meat off the Rex when it's full onto my character and then fill the Rex up again. To be more meat run efficient lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 in theory if u can get a rexes melee to 2400 then it should gather the same amount of meat, but the giga will stil have other advantages ( 2400 is just a guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandta Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Would a wyvern not be better? Faster to get to your base drop and go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeyGriffin Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 You hit the stack limit of 300 stacks before you hit max weight on any 1/2 decent giga anyway. Meat doesn't weigh all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyB Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Ye same as above, don't worry about weight u will hit slot cap first, I think giga has more stars in meat gathering than a rex as even a low level giga seems more efficient on a meat run than a high level rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayn Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Each dino has a certain hidden multiplier attached to it for harvesting certain types of resources. Iguanadons and Megatherium both gather thatch. Megatherium is inherently better at gathering thatch than the iguanadon. At equal melee damage, megatherium will always harvest more. Gigas have a higher multiplier for gathering meat than a rex. You could match the gather rate between a super high melee rex to a super low melee giga, but equally melee specced rex/giga will never match. Plus, you're capped at 5x overdamage, so once you break 525% melee damage, you should never see harvest amounts go up after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
