Moderate Lifedrinking (Melee Trait) — Detailed Guide

Healing from melee hits

Moderate Lifedrinking (Melee Trait) is a melee weapon trait in ARK: Survival Ascended, part of the Wasteland DLC. It turns damage into healing: "Heal for 7.5% of the damage you deal with this weapon, to a max of 5% of your max HP." The rest of its description says it must be applied in a Makeshift Megalab.

Between Lesser and Greater Lifedrinking traits

Our records link it to two other Lifedrinking traits. 10 Lesser Lifedrinking (Melee Trait) combine into one Moderate Lifedrinking in 15 seconds, and 10 Moderate Lifedrinking are in turn the ingredient for Greater Lifedrinking (Melee Trait). That is the only recipe that uses it, per our records.

Where it turns up

4 crate types can contain it:

  • Armadoggo Crate (Extinction and Astraeos)
  • Astraeos Orbital Legendary
  • Astraeos Orbital Medium
  • Extinction Orbital Medium

Our map record for it reads Extinction and Astraeos. The trait has a stack size of 1.
