It says rex kibble but has the glow and "should" act as extraordinary. My error, but the sentiment was the same. I guess it takes the challenge(?) out of it if everything can just use the same kibble.Įdit: I noticed I did say extraordinary instead of exceptional about the rex kibble conversion before. I guess now I understand a little why people hated on the new system so much when it came out. Good to know it wasnt supposed to be like that tho and I guess I could just use extraordinary and exceptional for everything at this point. So its possible there was a glitch that caused my kibble to not function the way it was supposed to.īut I know for sure that my higher tier kibble being fed to a tame was acting like raw meat or something with the taming % dropping like a brick. I think I remember specifically people saying on SE imprints were still asking for old kibble n the new ones wouldnt be accepted. Its just within the first couple days of the kibble changing I remember people saying it wasnt working properly on their server. I know it works now from many imprints and tames Ive used them on.

Or is the glow and item-picture-change the conversion you are talking about? As an example, Pteranodon egg kibble still is called Pteranodon egg kibble, it just has a green glow and can be used on any creature that prefers Simple kibble.

But no kibble was converted across 3 servers that I actively play on with over 20 kinds of kibble on two of the three, it was all given a glow but remained the same. If you were playing on Official servers, the Rex kibble would've been considered Exceptional kibble. I think I may have been trying this using rex kibble that was converted to extraordinary and although it acts the same now that part may have been what bugged it out for me. Havent tried it again since I dont do too much wild taming anymore and when I do its usually a max level so I didnt want to waste anymore time or kibble on testing that again.Īlso something to note. I was low on superior so I used extraordinary and after like 3 kibble the taming effectiveness was down under like 70%. Ok then maybe something was messed up with the system when it first came out on xbox cause I tried it out taming I think a daedon which would need superior kibble.

Although using extraordinary kibble to tame a phiomia or something like that probably isnt all that worth it unless you are abundant in the resources to make it. So basically yes if you just aim to produce extraordinary kibble and use that exclusively you will be able to tame every creature in the game with it. I have tested this out for myself and using a higher tier of kibble is exactly the same for taming effectiveness as the preferred kibble. This is exactly how the system works, once again: Effectiveness is equivalent (the same) when using a dino's preferred tier kibble or a higher tier kibble during taming.ĮDIT: A base that I failed to cover that might come up: I am on an Official ARK PvE-network server. If I used Regular, Superior, or Exceptional kibble, an identical result would occur. I am looking at a 50% tamed 140 Doed, it has eaten nothing but Extraordinary kibble, and is exactly as effective as its preferred tier. This is correct, as I sit with the exact situation I described above. 4 per 50% so total will be -.8% TE, 99.2% at finish), which is exactly the same as the preferred tier.Īgain, as long as you are using preferred tier or higher than preferred tier, you get effectiveness as if you are using the preferred tier. It eats the kibble at 3.2% tame per piece meaning 32 will give ~102 taming affinity total), and at 50% tamed it is exactly on track at 1x to finish at 99.2% effectiveness (99.6% TE currently with 50% tamed, loss of. As long as the kibble you are using is in the preferred tier or higher, you will get effectiveness as if you are using the preferred tier.ĮXAMPLE: You knock out a 140 Doed and because you have a ton of Extraordinary Kibble, you take 32 with you to tame it.
