The Metal Pick is one of the Tools in ARK: Survival Evolved. It is unlocked at Level 20 for 6 Engram Points.

When compared to the  Metal Hatchet, the Metal Pick provides more  Thatch than  Wood when chopping Trees, more  Raw Meat than  Hide when harvesting corpses, and more  Flint than  Stone when mining rocks. Additionally, it harvests more resources at a higher rate than its predecessor, the  Stone Pick, and has a higher chance of harvesting rarer resources.

The Metal Pick has 40 Durability, costing 0.075 Durability per use, for a total of approximately 533 uses.

Quality

Items which use stats, namely Melee Damage, Durability, Armor, Hypothermic Insulation and Hyperthermic Insulation, have Item Quality, with higher quality items having better overall stats (though lower quality items may be randomly superior in an individual stat). Items with improved quality can be obtained from beacons, loot crates, and other forms of loot drops (such as from killing predators), while blueprints of higher quality items are obtainable only from beacons and loot crates. Items with higher quality can cost substantially more than primitive versions.

Items that are affected by quality:

• Weapons
• Tools
• Armor
• Shields
• Saddles

There are currently six levels of quality, defined as follows.

	Primitive	Ramshackle	Apprentice	Journeyman	Mastercraft	Ascendant
Random Multiplier Threshold	1	1.25	2.5	4.5	7	10
Crafting XP Multiplier	1	2	3	4	5	6
Repairing XP Multiplier	1	2	3	4	5	6
Crafting Resources Requirements Multiplier	1	1.33	1.67	2	2.5	3.5
