Oil rocks + anky + deod + pick harvesting test

[Wikumos]

Ok, decided to test something, since there's now oil rocks on land, around North 3, and they are everywhere....

Firstly, the server I play on is 3x harvesting, so will vary if on an official server or private server with different settings.

With basic metal pick I averaged 23 oil per rock.
With anyklo (500% dmg % stat) I got 48 oil per rock.
With deodicrus , I got 0 oil per rock.

So, in short, ankys just got alot more useful !

That is expected. Ankylo is the pick on steroids. Doeds are the hatchet and only get stone.

I wonder how a higher pick would do verse and anky. Think I'll try that tonight when I get home and find out

i think on my other server i decided the dinos were better than journeyman metal tools. but i always tame a high lvl. it aint worth being bored forever to tame something if your not gonna get a good dino out of it.

Well Doeds do get obsidian.
But it's not really new, we used to have a diving ankylo for the underwater oil rocks near the shore. The oil rocks on the surface obviously make farming oil even easier, but depending on the server those rocks might be heavily contested.

Oh, and I see in the patchnotes that they fix "Some Resource quantity fixes in Snow Biome", so the surface oil rocks might become harder to come by

I wouldn't mind them making the on land oil nodes act more like the ones in the underwater caves where they give you about half of what you get from nodes in the middle of the ocean. And less of them, it looks really crazy on some of the small islands in the snow area with all the nodes on them.
