Fiber harvesting

Fiber is gathered from bushes and used for crafting armor, saddles, and tools in ARK: Survival Ascended. The Metal Sickle gives 2x Fiber yield compared to hand-picking.

Range shows the approximate variation around each simulated average.

Node yields assume the recorded base harvest HP (e.g. 1000 for Redwood trees, 620 for Metal nodes). In-game, trees and rocks whose harvest health scales with their size have per-instance HP that varies with the node's size, so actual yields per node will vary. The values shown represent the average.
