The discovery and use of different kinds of metal have made a significant contribution towards the modern, industrialized, weaponized, and technologically advanced phase of our kind. Similarly, Metal & Metal Ingots in Ark Survival Ascended play a crucial role in the advancement. Getting our hands on Metal in the prehistoric step up is like skipping thousands of years. Surviving in ASA is important, but advancing at the same time is also needed.
The Metal and Metal Ingots you’ll get from here can be used for creating weapons and equipment like Magnifying Glass, Pike, Sword, and Metal Sickle. If you are curious about what else needs Metal, you can check our ASA weapons recipes.
Ark Survival Ascended Metal Locations
Metal nodes can be found all over the map of The Island. Mainly surrounding the hills and close to the lava of the Volcano. The regions rich with metal nodes mostly have other materials like Obsidian, Crystal, and Flint. You need to have Stone Pick to break and collect Metal from these Metal nodes. If you are not sure about how to recognize Metal nodes, then look for the rocks that have visible metal ores in them. As you can see in the picture above. And though they can be obtained from tons of locations, here are some of the best coordinates to mine them.
- Latitude 23.7 and Longitude 11.3
- Latitude 42.7 and Longitude 37.5
- Latitude 67 and Longitude 62
- Latitude 80 and Longitude 43.7
- Latitude 86.1 and Longitude 66.3
Some of these places have dangerous creatures, so if you are a beginner start with the locations with weak ones. Once you have obtained sufficient Metal for Metal Hatchet and Metal Pick, craft them and proceed to difficult locations.
