Bring 12 Sabertooth Salmon.
No knockout| Fish | Progress each | Needed | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|
 Sabertooth Salmon | 411 | 12 | 80.44% |

 Piranha | 118 | 42 | 25.13% |
Progress scales straight off the size of the fish you drag over, so a larger corpse is worth proportionally more.
How this tame works
- There is no cooldown between fish, so this goes as fast as you can catch them and drag them over. The only clock is your own.
- Drag the fish corpse up to the Otter rather than putting it in your inventory. It eats what you are carrying.
- Each one is worth the same no matter its level. Higher levels simply need more of them.

More about taming the X-Otter
Found throughout the ARKs, the X-Otter is a tamable, piscivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Variant classification.
Health-wise, the X-Otter sits at 39 base, making it extremely fragile. With 105% base Melee Damage, the X-Otter has solid damage output. Stamina sits at 180 base, providing decent staying power. Weight capacity starts at 30, giving it minimal inventory space.
As a tame, the X-Otter earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Killing a wild X-Otter yields 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.84 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
