Cursed Metal Pick — Detailed Guide

A cursed take on the metal pick

The Cursed Metal Pick is a harvesting tool in ARK: Survival Ascended from the Lost Colony DLC. Its in-game description: "A large metal pick for harvesting primarily flint from rocks, thatch from trees, and meat from bodies." In practice that means swinging it at rocks for flint, at trees for thatch and at bodies for meat. Our records list it as a Halloween event drop on Lost Colony, which is also the map they give for it.

Recipe for the Cursed Metal Pick

One pick takes:

Crafting takes 5 seconds, yields a single pick and gives 1 XP. It weighs 2 and does not stack.

Crates that can contain it

Our records count 10 loot crate types that can contain the Cursed Metal Pick. Most of the listed examples come from Lost Colony outposts: the Lost Resource Cache in Easy, Medium and Hard grades and the Molten Works crates in Easy and Hard. The Neophyte crate is among them as well, and our records place it on maps from The Island and Aberration to Astraeos and Valguero.
