Mutations manifest in two different ways. IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET MUTATIONS RUIN YOUR LINE DURING THIS PROCESS. Anything 0-5 points in a stat is acceptable. Note: You don’t necessarily have to do 0 points like I didn’t in this example. So the final result was a male and female level 89 X-Anky (37(melee)+38(HP)+13(wasted)+1(base)). Then I bred that with the 37 melee, breeding it until I kept all of those low stats PLUS 37 melee. Once I got all of this, I bred together the low levels until I had a low level anky with the low points in Stam, Food, Ox, Weight, and Speed. I also tamed several Level 5-15 X-Ankys that had 0-5 points in ANY of the minimized stats (make sure you punch the low levels to get a minimal taming bonus). So I tamed several X-Ankys until I got an anky with 37 points in melee, and another with 38 HP. This means you want to minimize Stamina, Food, Oxygen, Weight, and Speed. Melee to get more resources per hit, and HP to not die if you’re dropped while being carried or if you’re attacked. There are two stats that matter on an anky. I will be using my current breed line of X-Ankys as examples. Note: X-Dinos have a max level of 500 (they do still keep the 255 point stat cap) If you have 150 levels in useless stats, you just lost 150 possible points, so you want to reduce those to make room for the important stats. On official, the max level is 450, and there is a stat cap of 255 for an individual stat. You are quite literally minimizing your useless stats while maximizing your useful stats. The process of min-maxing is simple, but time consuming. I will be explaining using the point system, so if you skipped over it, you may want to read the section on that. Now for the bread and butter of the breeding system. Note: This is not a guaranteed chance, so you may need to breed several babies to get the stat you want.Īlright. For example, if you have a Male Rex with 37 points in HP and 24 points in Melee, and a Female Rex with 31 points in HP and 45 points in Melee, you can breed them together and you have a 55% chance for each stat to roll in favor of the higher stat on the babies to get the 37 HP AND 45 Melee. Not only do you get that stat increase, but when you ride a dino that YOU are imprinted to, it gains 30% extra damage and 30% damage resistance. This bonus increases the dino’s stats by 20% with 100% imprinting (assuming vanilla settings). Raising a baby lets you get an imprint bonus. However the reasons for breeding goes deeper than just getting more dinos. You find a male and female of a dino, breed them, and get babies. My binocular mod is incorrectly showing the damage percentage) BREEDING (Ignore the 82% damage and note the 37 points. Below I have a screenshot of the Giga’s stats once it tamed. It is SUPER important to remember that the highest stats have a higher chance of getting more points added to that stat. So on a 150, that comes out to 224 with kibble taming, meaning there are 74 more points that will randomly allocate. Once I tame it, the stat points will increase randomly by the amount of levels it gains. All other stats have such minor increases with tamed levels that it does not make a difference. On a Giga, the only stat that matters is Melee. So as you can see, this Giga is pretty exceptional. Tamed dinos have a different point system that we will cover a little later. NOTE: Dododex stat calculator is for wild stats ONLY. If you add up all of the points, that equals 149 (+1=150 because level 1 doesn’t have stats) The reason I love using Dododex is that I can pull up the app on my phone and quickly input stats as I’m looking at the dino. I input the wild dino’s stats and you an see just to the right, it says how many points are in each stat. The picture below is a wild 150 Giga that I knocked out. The easiest way to see and understand this is on Dododex. This is the allocation to each stat from its current level. This extensive guide will include everything from searching for stats, explanation on the point system, min-maxing your dinos, how to properly breed and stack mutations, and probably more! So sit tight and enjoy! STAT POINT SYSTEMĪll stats in ARK are based around a point system. Why am I making this guide? Because you can go past 20/20 mutations legitimately and breed literal super dinos. The mutation system in ARK is incredibly confusing to an unexperienced breeder, and from my experience and others, it takes time, knowing the proper techniques, and sometimes it just “clicks” for some people after a certain point. I have been a “professional” ARK breeder for quite some time now and I would like to share and explain proper breeding techniques. Hello! My name is Psychopation, and I am a part of the Dododex Team on Discord.
