tbh i made it for people playing on my cluster cuz constant questions for breeding were tiring to answer, glad to see that so many other people have use for it :).
On official servers be careful in that dinos do have a max level before they are despawned during a server restart or you upload them (I think you can cryo them to keep them safe). The Max level is 450 on official servers. Cryo them to keep them safe.
They are not safe in cryos... they "update" in cryopods or during server resets. So if u get lvl 451 normal dino, dont cryo it. U can use it till server reset or you cryo it or you upload it. You still can bring it to all bossfights
this guide is AMAZING!!! I have literally 3000hours of Ark, watched many 2 hours videos on how to do the mutations and never really got the hang of it until NOW! I love it and will be subscribing for more :) THANK YOU Ace5! Rock on Dude!
You are a FUCKING GENIOS!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Why soo many youtubers have a hard time explaining that you can only increase stats until you reach 20/20 mutations after that its a matter of luck that you get them on the mother's side and its carried over to the father so it can still count but doesn't occupy space on the mother's side x/20 allowing you to max out the stats without the mother's side ever reaching 20/20.
Bro on small tribes r the stats on mother -1100293 and father 14163738 like they extrem high on both sided and i wanne Start my own breeding line on giga can i just use my Alpha male and breed them with the 0/0 i got and still get mutas?
@@MF.FINLAY thats not really a video related question but sure, idm answering. Simply put, Dino level is a summary of wild points randomly distributed by ark system into specific stats. You can view those stats by either using a modded spyglass (available on most private servers) that exactly shows what are the points in the stats right next to them. On official its a bit trickier, you can use this site for example: www.dododex.com/stat-calculator Find a Dino, its levels, then manually input the % you see on F menu after knocking it down/opening F menu if its your tame. Trick is, if you added even a single Domesticated level (levels you add manually after taming in F menu), stats won't show properly. You also cant imprint the dino or else it wont match up.
Yo guys why don't we make a discord group chat so we can all discuss breeding and mutations? This video was extremely helpful but I'm sure people might still have questions every now and then (me included, I have only been playing ark for a week, first time ever).
You can always ask by DMing me on Discord that i've added in description. I've explained almost everything, but if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Jotaro is a great pick because in Eyes of Heaven he gets Star Platinum Over Heaven, SPOH has an infinite time stop and reality overwrite can beat everyone on the list with one punch
That is not much of an issue since in most cases mutator allows you to swap gender or you can just keep breeding a female offspring with random 0/20 0/20 male until you get a male with the proper main stat.
Hello, this video is great and super understandable! Can I ask a question? I'm done with mutating my rexes up to 20/20 on male side and now it has the melee i want (105 melee) and i was looking to work on its hp by mutating and working on the same process for HP. When i get the HP i want, Can i combine the melee and the HP into one super dino?
Your understanding is wrong. You can keep mutating to 254 stats regardless of the counters as long as your female breeder has less than 20 mutations. The main thing you need to understand is even if mutation stop at the male end aka father's end. The mother can mutate father's stat as long the mother has less than 20. The mother I am referring to isn't the counters but the actual dino you are breeding with, the female breeder. To elaborate further. Mutation stats can be granted from BOTH mother and father, not just one of the parent. This means that even if the father has exceed 19 mutations (combined) counter. As long the mother's mutations (combined) counter not more than 19, the mutation can be granted by the mother. So a simple example, mutating melee. You got a male with 100 melee and a female with 50 melee. The male has a combined mutation counter of 100, 43 on mom side and 67 on father side. The female has a combined mutation counter of 19, 10 on mom side and 9 on father side. During mating process, the baby will have 55% chance (not 60% as shown in video) to have the better stats. Then, a mutation stat will apply AFTER that RNG. This mutation stat can come from EITHER father or mother, as long one side has less than 20. In this case, it come from mother because it has less than 20. This also means that it is possible to get DOUBLE mutations aka one from father and one from mom. However, in this case, since father already hit the limit, no mutation will ever come from him. So aka as long your female breeder is less than 20 overall mutations counter, your offspring will always have a chance to mutate.
this looks good, thanks :D i have never bred purposefully before, just for fun slapping dinos together to make a family. but i think im going to try it. seems a bit similar to pokemon stat breeding. Some questions I have are: 1. 'wrong' offspring will show the exact same melee stat as the father after being having matured, while 'good' offspring will already show it higher right after maturing? 2. It is probably a bad idea to level up the father, at least in melee, since you will not be able to see what the original stat was? 3. say you get a certain color mutation and the mutation after that you get another color mutation, but you liked the first color better. Can you make the previous color reappear somehow? Or would you need to keep breeding for the stat AND the color to land properly on a certain dino, making it a near impossible chance? 4. How do you see how many points a stat got, for instance, the 40 you started with?
i use Ark smart breeder to keep track of all my stats of my dinos i like to breed or have offspring with. if you play on official servers and like to breed this is a must have program and wil make your life allot easyer :)
Just to be clear: the amount of females is simply to increase your fertilized egg output, right? Could you do it with just one female instead and have her breed all the eggs with increased breeding speed multiplicators? Great video my man!
Yes. Its just to increase eggs count = higher chance. Thats why you dont use alpha female, as she could breed only with 1 male at the time. If your server allows 0 breeding cooldown you can as well just use 1. More you use, more eggs, more chances at proper off-spring
Hi Ace! Nice video! I still have one question about the "Alpha". My mutated baby must be male to continue the process? I mean, if a baby hatched with the mutaded right stats but as a female it must be discarted ?
You need a Male to continue, yes. If you got a female you either swap its gender with Mutator if you play unofficial and have access to it, or breed it with a random 0/20 0/20 Male Rex until you get a male with proper stat
Transfer stat to male via fresh male breed or mutator. It is easier to have wanted stat on a male, because male can mate with bunch of females at once, oposed to when u have stat on female, she can breed only with 1 male at a time.
So if I have a male theri that’s 149 with identical stats as a female 149 and I get a male that’s 151 with a melee mutation I want to keep breeding him with the 149s until I get another male that’s 153 with another mutation?
This was really simple explained i think i finaly got the hang of it. Im trying to breed anky's (just for fun) and what i do is i breeded until i had 1 male with the stats i wanted 0/20 mat 0/20 pat, same with the female 0/20 mat 0/20 pat. (have about 50 females all 0/20 0/20) Male and female have all the same stats This is where i get lost... So the only thing i actually need to do is wait untill i get a Male offspring with 1 mutation in the desired stat and switch it with my alphamale and repeat forever? example: The male baby has 1 mutation in weight. I raise it and switch it with the previous male. Then i keep breeding the 1 mutation with the 0/20 0/20 females untill i get another male with 2 mutations in weight. Raise it and repeat this process forever untill i have a lvl 377 so i can level it up to 449 (on official servers they get deleted at 450 and you can level it 72 times)
thats pretty much what you want to do. Dont bother with other stats tho, thsese you can inbreed after your main stat is where you want it to be. You can have 255 weight and 1 in everything else, then inbreed this 255 weight into a different dino with other stats. From friends that plays on official i know that they cheese the lv450 mechanic by finding Rex that has 1 in all stats, then breeding that 1 rex to 254 melee and 120hp~~ and leave all other stats at 1 so you can have a 254+71 melee and still enjoy quite decent HP or mix it around with +40/+30 into both depends if you need that extra HP. Most creatures have no use for other stats except Melee/HP/Weight, so you should choose a main stat and substat, then leave all others at 1 to get those 2 going as far as possible.
@@AceFive1 i have one more question if the male has 20/20 mat and 20/20 pat and female has 0/20 mat and 0/20 pat can you still get mutations when you breed? im a little stuck now because i had a male offspring with 1/20 on maternal side? and i wonder if everything must be paternal on the male in order for infinite mutations. thanks in advance
@@kerkvlerk4720 all of your mutation will always land on paternal side anyway. If you have an anky thats 20/20 pat and 20/20 mat and you breed it with 0/20 0/20 female, your offspring will be 40/20 0/20. Once you hit 20/20 on Pat side tho, only maternal side mutations will count so you must be sure that female you breed with is lower than 20/20 (summarized, preferably use 0/20 0/20 females, that way your maternal will never go above 1/20).
dang i messed up i just kept going and would get random mutations but i ended up getting 20 melee mutations. on father side. then i stopped. now it shows after i breed with females, 0/0 400mil/20. can i still keep going?
Question. You said as long as the female doesn’t have any mutations it will not mutate on female side then show how it does mutate on female side? I’m confused. Is it because the male side is full it rolls over?
Im saying that as long as theres no mutations on females, Maternal side will not ever got above 1/20 on an off spring. It'll keep stacking on Paternal side, while maternal side always will remain 0/20 or 1/20 (if mutation occurs there on that particular breed). Off spring mutations always follows both parents side. If you have 21/20 0/20 Father and 0/20 0/20 female and mutation occurs on female the offspring will become 21/20 1/20. Now if you breed this off spring with the same 0/20 0/20 female and it again mutates on female side the offspring will be 22/20 father (the one from female side went on father side cuz its still only Father having it) and 1/20 on female (cuz again, mutation occured here just now. You simply have to uinderstand the system behind it and that fathers summary of mutation always goes to Paternal and mother's to Maternal and since mothers are always 0/20 0/20, the most it can go to is 1/20.
At 8:43 you showed mutations going over 20 on one side and said that you can do this “infinitely”. I thought any mutations after 20 would not count for anything? I think you even mentioned that earlier in your video?
Yes, but did you watch and listen to everything afterwards? After 20/20 on father's side indeed not a single mutation will count. Only if it occurs on that side. By breeding 25/20 0/20 male with 0/20 0/20 female, female's mutation side will never go above 1/20. Every mutation on that side will count and increase the stat.
Level of dino is summary of all stat points. If all stat points are maxed out, it gives 1785. Technically if you add 73 domesticated levels, max max level will be 1857(not 1858 cuz one stat has to be 254 to be allowed to level up further as mentioned), unless you play private server that allows more domesticated levels than 73, then it can be even more.
@@AceFive1 No, since a level 1 dino has no points spent to it. It's not level 0. Therefore you have to add 1 to the sum of all spent stat points. But it's not like it's extremely relevant...was just a nitpick
Lol I’m still mad about the flyer nerf. I think we should be able to upgrade speed even on official up to a certain percentage. Say 150 percent so fifty percent faster. That’s not crazy. I’m tired of flying on my argy for a half hour at a time
when you go into their ancestry line (middle button under stats) theres list of mutation a Dino has in its breed line. Wild Dinos usually have nothing, bred dinos has its parents into. On top left and right theres mutation list that by default is 0/20 on Paternal and 0/20 on Maternal. Thats it.
I didn't fully understand the adding domesticated points to the dinos thing. If I tame to 253 /254 in all stats let's say I'm not gonna be able to use all my domesticated levels right? Because they'll all cap at 255? Also is it better to breed till max level minus max domesticated levels you can get and just level up the last bit?
No. Domesticated levels and Wild Levels are completly unrelated. You can have a 253/254+73 (or whatever is max domestiacted level on your server). Theres just a bug that if you actually reach the 255, game wont let you add more, nothing else, anything below 255 works fine.
Probably too late for the question but: If i get the offspring with father melee + mutated but it's a female rex, do i kill it and search for a male or i can change the sex to male with s+ mutator and still go on with it as alpha male and replace the old one? Also sorry for my english :)
I got a Question and need help, its about breeding. I completely understand the breeding System and how to do it but.. I always use like x50 multiplier for breeding on the Female Dinos for Rexes etc. so it doesn't take to much time. Am i really forced to boost these stats? Because on normal settings it would take weeks/months to get good Dinos. And from my experience on the Bosses like the Broodmother, you really need Dinos with mutations on meele/health. So is there a way to beat the game on complete legit Settings? I dont get it and i'm desperate
Multiplier you are talking about is how much % domesticated levels (the ones you get while killing stuff with the dino) gives to specific stats. It has no impact on wild stats and the stats you breed for, its completly separate. And yes ofc its possible to do it with vanilla settings. Tho for Broodmother most people simply uses Megatheriums due to their buff vs Insect-type dinos.
So to start a like a super line of Dino’s you mutate the male as long as you want then when you’re happy you just breed him to a female that came out with the same stats?
no, you take MALE with highest DESIRED stat (you breed 1 stat per breedery, never more. You breed that one Male with as many females as you want. You aim to get an offspring that mutated your desired stat (i.e melee went from 44 to 46). Then you replace your OLD MALE with that new one, with higher stat and repeat the process until you are satisfied. Its always MALE you want. If you were unlucky to get mutation on a Female offspring, just breed her with a random male for as long as you get a MALE with that desired stat. Its explained in the video, please rewatch it few times.
Quick question, if im playing on a server without the level cap, i can theoretically get 254 points in all stats through mutations correct? Not that its really needed, but would be a cool trophy
Hey, I think I understood how it works and it was well explained. But what would be the best and fastest way for me to get all the best stats from several Dinos into 1 pair so I can breed multiple top Dinos? Like I have 7 Dinos, each with a single stat being very high. What would I do to get a dino pair with all their stats combined?
You would breed three pairs of those together and then rebreed the children, which will have the best of two stats. That way you're only left with 4 (one original with one best stat and three children with two best stats each). Those 4 you can combine to only 2, and that you can combine to 1 with all the best stats. Hope it was understandable. But usually it'S enough to take two or maybe three best stats and accept the othe stats being lower because they don't matter at all.
The way i inbreed stat is i take first pair i.e Melee + HP. Breed until i get offspring with best stats (easy since its only 2 stats). After that, i make that offspring Male and add 4-5 females that possess next big stat (i.e stamina) so i breed Melee+HP Male with 5 Stamina females until i get Melee+HP+Stamina. Repeat, add more females for next etc.
When the fathers side is at 20/20 and mothers is at 1/20 if the mutation hits on mother’s side why doesn’t the 1/20 go to 2/20 instead of the fathers side going to 21/20?
Like i said, mutations are taken from Parents and slapped on Maternity and Paternity. Your dino that was born with 20/20 father and 1/20 mother will now breed with 0/20 0/20 female. Offspring of this couple will have summed up mutations of parents. Knowing that, offspring has 20/20 + 1/20 of father = 21/20 and 0/20+0/20 from mother = 0/20. If mutation occured on mother's side again, your dino is now 21/20 1/20. This will repeat forever, as long as you use 0/20 0/20 females, the only side that will increase in mutations will be Father's side as only Father has any mutations in this couple. Hope its understandable.
Nope, sadly not. Just breed a shit ton of dino's. I'm on ps4 as well. It sometimes takes me 100+ breeding sessions to get melee mutation. My advice is, just trade for a breeding pair with good mutation with someone. It will save you hours of time and effort
unfortunetly no. Just breeding normally and deal with another insane RNG number (7% chance for offspring to mutate naturally). Terrible job, i suggest using like, 100 females and maybe you'll get a right mutation every 5-6 breeds.
Also if I am breeding for weight with my Argent and say he is 51 but I want to breed for stamina and health eventually. If I get a male born that has the same 51 weight but gets a mutation in stamina out of luck, should I replace my current male breeder with him since it is a stat I want to increase but to a lesser import than weight?
No. You never breed for more than 1 stat per breedery. If you want Stamina, find a male that has the highest stat in it and build it a separate breedery. If you breed for weight, you kill everything that didnt go into weight. Adding unneccessary mutation to the pool slows down the process. Make 2 separate breederies where 1 breeds Weight, other Stamina. After you are done, inbreed the 2 to have both at once.
You forgot to highlight the point that mother can mutate father's stat and thus allow baby to inherent a higher stat. Much of the comments seems to not understand this point. Or perhaps you don't understand this point either? That is to say you don't need a clean female breeder but your female breeder must be below 20 aka it can be from 0-19 and mutation will still occur. The alpha male's counter has no real meaning because mutation counters grow exponentially.
yup, i definitely do not understand that even tho thats the whole point of the video B). If i'm gonna add even more confusion about what females to use, people will understand even less. This is a guide HOW TO BEGIN, if you start with a clean 0/20 0/20 Alpha Male, if you dont use 0/20 0/20 females you'll cut your first 20 mutations short and enter just-female side mutation way too fast, extending the process. Appreciate the input, but next time listen more carefully.
Im playing official, so im never gonna reach this kind of stats but of im breading a Rex, i get a double mutation one on mele (what i want) and one one o2 (what i dont want) does it matter if i bread away the o2 stat later on if i woud like to have the "perfect rex"?
Yes, you focus on breeding only 1 stat to the point of where you want it to be. Then you can just inbreed any other stats into this rex with a bit of effort and patience.
Keep breeding it with a random 0/20 0/20 male for as long as offspring comes out as Male and takes over the female's stat. If you have access to Mutator, you can use gender swap pulse.
So if all my females and males have 1000s of mutations ill need to re tame let say another female with 0 mutations and Carry on process with my male with lots of mutations in both?
Try to breed untill you have the exact same male and female (statwise) so its easyer to follow up what your doing. So if you have a male rex with 40 health and a female rex with 40 melee, breed until you have a male melee and female with identical stats and then start with the mutation process.
You breed that female with random 0/20 0/20 male for as long as you get a Male with desired mainstat from female. If you have access to mutator you can use gender change pulse too.
I can't seems to get 21/20 at all, always goes to 1/20, however I'm at 0/20 20/20 on male, is that an issue? Should it have been 20/20 0/20? Don't know if it matters, I thought it doesn't.
Ok, not sure I 100% understand, after re-watching the video, does it mean that I have to first have 1/20 20/20, before it will start going to 21/20 without it being a "nothing"?
@@Nka19 That means that your females arent 0/20 0/20. If you get big numbers on Maternal Side it means you are using females with a lot of mutations and it stockpiles on their side. Technically it doesnt matter past 20/20, but you should be using a clean 0/20 0/20 females, Alpha Male doesnt matter at all, can be 4000/20 5000/20 for all you care.
@@AceFive1 Oh i do, I got around 50 of them boxed 😁 And S+ hatcheries next to it to collect the eggs. But from 500 eggs or more i always got 1/20 - 20/20 from breeding 0/20 - 20/20 with all my clean females. What i did for now was, i got a female 1/20 20/20 and breed it with my clean male with 0/20 0/20 and it turned to 21/20 0/20 🤣
@@Nka19 you make it a lot more complicated than you should. Simply find a Male with a stat you want to breed, put it together with as many 0/20 0/20 females as you can and follow the process on vid. 0/20 0/20 females, nothing else
@@AceFive1 Think you understood wrong, i did that last process only today as a work around to get the stat over 20/20, until now i only breed for males, saved my world before i threw eggs in case i get female with what i need so i could reload and throw again until male poped up. Saves time.
I am planning to make a video guide about what these numbers are. ITs a "wild stat point". Dino's level is determined by their stats so its 1+summary of all stats it has. To find out what is the Wild Stat point you either need a Spyglass mod that displays it or you can take a clean, not leveled/not imprinted dinos and input his stats here: www.dododex.com/stat-calculator and you'll know how much of points it has.
Ya but in the beginning, dont you gotta have two dinos with good stats? What if you have 1 alpha male and 12 crappy rexes, you breed them over and you get the melee you want but a 3000 hp rex? don't your 12 females have to be identical to the alpha male you breed before you go down this road?
Why would they have to be? I said that females can be level 10 Rexes with every stat at 2. Once you FINISH breeding the stat you wanted, you can inbreed this stat into any other rex you have (some perfect tame with other stats you want). Level and stats of females doesnt matter. Its always about Alpha Male. Its his stat that has to carry over and mutate.
Cuz all mutations stacks up on małe side, if you use females with mutations you'll make your life harder because you'll reach 20/20 faster than you would with 0/20 female.
i use Ark smart breeder to keep track of all my stats of my dinos i like to breed or have offspring with. if you play on official servers and like to breed this is a must have program and wil make your life allot easyer :)
@@kerkvlerk4720 i dont agree with ark smart breeding being anyhow useful. You can get all the stat values of your dino simply by inputing them on dododex/ark fandom site and it'll give you a hard wild level numbers. By these numbers its easy to deduct what stats are highest and which dino to use as Alpha (ofc you cant have imprint and any levels added to get proper amounts of %). I've tried this smart breeding thingy and on unofficial its 100% worthless due to spyglass modes, on official its just as much of a pain as using those 2 sites i listed above.
You can do it via any modded spyglass or if you play Vanilla then you can input raw, BASE stats (cant be imprinted) to: www.dododex.com/stat-calculator and you'll get the wild point numbers.
If a Female gets a mutation should I remove her from the breeding pool? What I am not understanding is that if I have a male argent with say a 50 weight and he is mating with a zero mutation female with 34 weight, how is that going to bump his weight stat higher?
Then re-watch the guide for as long as it needs to click. Mutation adds +2 to a random stat based on what was inherited. If your offspring inherits Male stat (50) and mutates in that weight stat, it'll be 52. If your offspring inhreits Female stat (36) and it mutates, it'll be 38, but you dont care about that as this offspring is crossed out for losing first RNG which is a chance to get higher stat (male's in this case). For a good offspring all numbers have to allign. You need to get the higher stat (male's one), then it needs to mutate that particular stat (1 out of 7 chance) and if its above 20/20 you also need to win a 50/50 chance that it mutates on female side (its random and doesnt matter, male stat can be increased even if female side mutated, which side mutated has no relation to inhrited stat). I've explained it in the vid, looks like you didnt pay close enough attention.
@@AceFive1 I watched the video multiple times the problem I have is I have seen so many videos with people who have differing opinions that I am just confused. Watching the video again my plan is to have my Male breeder and 40 unmutated females. I will mass breed, eliminate all the females and males that are not better than the male. Do not replace the females in the breeding pool with better females with mutations and simply keep breeding over and over with the 40 zero mutation females and hope RNG blesses me with mutations in weight. The people on the server I play on insist that you never level up the breeding male and the females he is breeding with, you just leave those points unspent. From your video that doesn't seem like it makes a difference.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 Yes, what you just said is a proper way to do it. The reasoning behind not leveling or imprinting those is that official servers or unofficials without any Spyglass mod/other mods that can show you "wild points" have it ruined if you level them up. If you paste down raw stats of a newborn that wasnt leveled into a calculator on sites like dododex or ark wiki, it'll tell you how many actual wild points (the ones i talk about in vid) your dino has. Servers with an actual spyglass mod that shows you directly wild and domesticated levels doesnt have to care about that
@@AceFive1 Cool, the server I play on has that telescope mod and I was trying to tell them that leveling the tames does not matter because we will always know what their original stats are. However, I have only been playing ARK for about 2 weeks so I was told to STFU and I had no idea what I was talking about.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 People and especially "youtubers" that records guides have very weird, biased opinions about stuff. I personally dont play the game anymore, but a lot of systems are way simpler than people makes them to be by pouring way too much info than needed to convert. Glad the vid helped you and hope you'll get some decent argies.
@@lucash3551 i mean, its instant? Depends on your server rates and what you aim for. You literally use mutator and breed them, offspring will always have a mutation
You breed them together, 60% chance go get the better one of each stat. You use 0/20 (or less than 20) females to enable more (new) mutations. But already achieved mutations does not disappear, so you can breed them to get a super-dinos with maybe 40/20 64/20 or similar :)
@@urnansflipflop7894 but if u breed that with a wild one all mutations switch to one side. That helps?

"With S+ Mutator"
I would like to be able to get the 3 tribute missing for rockwell... ya know... the alpha one.
On official servers be careful in that dinos do have a max level before they are despawned during a server restart or you upload them (I think you can cryo them to keep them safe). The Max level is 450 on official servers. Cryo them to keep them safe.
so is 450 safe or cap at 449?
Apparently differs for tek and X species?
They are not safe in cryos... they "update" in cryopods or during server resets. So if u get lvl 451 normal dino, dont cryo it. U can use it till server reset or you cryo it or you upload it. You still can bring it to all bossfights
@@Privacymatter27 so the tactic is to breed till 450 get xp and before raid/boss etc you adds lvls?
@@PLTakeMe nope, i would breed till 375 so i can lvl them up fully (less work)

BRO u are actualy did what noone talk about.... TY
Probably the best explanation I've heard so far. We'll done sir
you explained this easier then the top ark youtubers
Best explanation on UA-cam fair play and thank u
thanks so much man, this video really helped out alot better than any other videos out there

Thank you Mr. Ace. Finally, an explanation I can understand. 😀 -Xandermeister
Very good video it really made it click for me. It’s always you Germans that know how to be efficient lmao!
Thanks, im Polish tho Kappa
@@AceFive1 my bad, my American ears aren’t as well tuned as they should be
You are a FUCKING GENIOS!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Why soo many youtubers have a hard time explaining that you can only increase stats until you reach 20/20 mutations after that its a matter of luck that you get them on the mother's side and its carried over to the father so it can still count but doesn't occupy space on the mother's side x/20 allowing you to max out the stats without the mother's side ever reaching 20/20.
Good job mortal this was helpful speed wagon approved
Thank you and congrats on 100 subs
Finally i understand how mutation works
Best video on breeding...
Bro on small tribes r the stats on mother -1100293 and father 14163738 like they extrem high on both sided and i wanne Start my own breeding line on giga can i just use my Alpha male and breed them with the 0/0 i got and still get mutas?
Right I'm new to this game and I really dont under stand what people say when it's got "40" melee or "27" stam
Please explain
@@MF.FINLAY thats not really a video related question but sure, idm answering. Simply put, Dino level is a summary of wild points randomly distributed by ark system into specific stats. You can view those stats by either using a modded spyglass (available on most private servers) that exactly shows what are the points in the stats right next to them. On official its a bit trickier, you can use this site for example: www.dododex.com/stat-calculator
Find a Dino, its levels, then manually input the % you see on F menu after knocking it down/opening F menu if its your tame. Trick is, if you added even a single Domesticated level (levels you add manually after taming in F menu), stats won't show properly. You also cant imprint the dino or else it wont match up.
It’s like how much of a stat a animal has like say a 1 of your Rex has 40 melee and another one has 60 melee the one with 60 is better.
Yo guys why don't we make a discord group chat so we can all discuss breeding and mutations? This video was extremely helpful but I'm sure people might still have questions every now and then (me included, I have only been playing ark for a week, first time ever).
You can always ask by DMing me on Discord that i've added in description. I've explained almost everything, but if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks helped a lot
Jotaro is a great pick because in Eyes of Heaven he gets Star Platinum Over Heaven, SPOH has an infinite time stop and reality overwrite can beat everyone on the list with one punch
I'm in the middle of watching the video, but if I have females with 30k hp and 900% dmg, is it profitable for me to mutate the male?
Just breed her with some random Males for as long as you get Male with the same stats, that will be your Alpha Male.
Very nice
Great video thank you!
Dont forget that theres also another 50%chance the purfect rng is a female when u need a male so theres ANOTHER % added on making it harder yall
That is not much of an issue since in most cases mutator allows you to swap gender or you can just keep breeding a female offspring with random 0/20 0/20 male until you get a male with the proper main stat.
@@AceFive1 i just ment if you dont use the mod/ doing it vanilla it adds to the dificulty
Hello, this video is great and super understandable! Can I ask a question? I'm done with mutating my rexes up to 20/20 on male side and now it has the melee i want (105 melee) and i was looking to work on its hp by mutating and working on the same process for HP. When i get the HP i want, Can i combine the melee and the HP into one super dino?
Your understanding is wrong. You can keep mutating to 254 stats regardless of the counters as long as your female breeder has less than 20 mutations. The main thing you need to understand is even if mutation stop at the male end aka father's end. The mother can mutate father's stat as long the mother has less than 20. The mother I am referring to isn't the counters but the actual dino you are breeding with, the female breeder.
To elaborate further. Mutation stats can be granted from BOTH mother and father, not just one of the parent. This means that even if the father has exceed 19 mutations (combined) counter. As long the mother's mutations (combined) counter not more than 19, the mutation can be granted by the mother.
So a simple example, mutating melee. You got a male with 100 melee and a female with 50 melee.
The male has a combined mutation counter of 100, 43 on mom side and 67 on father side.
The female has a combined mutation counter of 19, 10 on mom side and 9 on father side.
During mating process, the baby will have 55% chance (not 60% as shown in video) to have the better stats.
Then, a mutation stat will apply AFTER that RNG. This mutation stat can come from EITHER father or mother, as long one side has less than 20. In this case, it come from mother because it has less than 20. This also means that it is possible to get DOUBLE mutations aka one from father and one from mom. However, in this case, since father already hit the limit, no mutation will ever come from him.
So aka as long your female breeder is less than 20 overall mutations counter, your offspring will always have a chance to mutate.
@@Lu5ck ty
this looks good, thanks :D i have never bred purposefully before, just for fun slapping dinos together to make a family. but i think im going to try it. seems a bit similar to pokemon stat breeding.
Some questions I have are:
1. 'wrong' offspring will show the exact same melee stat as the father after being having matured, while 'good' offspring will already show it higher right after maturing?
2. It is probably a bad idea to level up the father, at least in melee, since you will not be able to see what the original stat was?
3. say you get a certain color mutation and the mutation after that you get another color mutation, but you liked the first color better. Can you make the previous color reappear somehow? Or would you need to keep breeding for the stat AND the color to land properly on a certain dino, making it a near impossible chance?
4. How do you see how many points a stat got, for instance, the 40 you started with?
i use Ark smart breeder to keep track of all my stats of my dinos i like to breed or have offspring with. if you play on official servers and like to breed this is a must have program and wil make your life allot easyer :)
Just to be clear: the amount of females is simply to increase your fertilized egg output, right? Could you do it with just one female instead and have her breed all the eggs with increased breeding speed multiplicators? Great video my man!
Yes. Its just to increase eggs count = higher chance. Thats why you dont use alpha female, as she could breed only with 1 male at the time. If your server allows 0 breeding cooldown you can as well just use 1. More you use, more eggs, more chances at proper off-spring
Wow...thank you!!
Hi Ace! Nice video!
I still have one question about the "Alpha".
My mutated baby must be male to continue the process? I mean, if a baby hatched with the mutaded right stats but as a female it must be discarted ?
You need a Male to continue, yes. If you got a female you either swap its gender with Mutator if you play unofficial and have access to it, or breed it with a random 0/20 0/20 Male Rex until you get a male with proper stat
Transfer stat to male via fresh male breed or mutator. It is easier to have wanted stat on a male, because male can mate with bunch of females at once, oposed to when u have stat on female, she can breed only with 1 male at a time.
So if I have a male theri that’s 149 with identical stats as a female 149 and I get a male that’s 151 with a melee mutation I want to keep breeding him with the 149s until I get another male that’s 153 with another mutation?
So will the mother side never go up by 1/20 or is it a 50% chance that it will?
it is 50%, but even if mother side goes up, it'll be transfered to male side on next breed
Thanks bro this really helped
Thank you
I added you on discord, I have a few questions that are a little outside this video but still pertain to breeding.
You explain well, but sory I didnt understand anything with numbers 20 1
This was really simple explained i think i finaly got the hang of it.
Im trying to breed anky's (just for fun) and what i do is i breeded until i had 1 male with the stats i wanted 0/20 mat 0/20 pat, same with the female 0/20 mat 0/20 pat. (have about 50 females all 0/20 0/20) Male and female have all the same stats
This is where i get lost... So the only thing i actually need to do is wait untill i get a Male offspring with 1 mutation in the desired stat and switch it with my alphamale and repeat forever?
example: The male baby has 1 mutation in weight. I raise it and switch it with the previous male. Then i keep breeding the 1 mutation with the 0/20 0/20 females untill i get another male with 2 mutations in weight. Raise it and repeat this process forever untill i have a lvl 377 so i can level it up to 449 (on official servers they get deleted at 450 and you can level it 72 times)
thats pretty much what you want to do. Dont bother with other stats tho, thsese you can inbreed after your main stat is where you want it to be. You can have 255 weight and 1 in everything else, then inbreed this 255 weight into a different dino with other stats. From friends that plays on official i know that they cheese the lv450 mechanic by finding Rex that has 1 in all stats, then breeding that 1 rex to 254 melee and 120hp~~ and leave all other stats at 1 so you can have a 254+71 melee and still enjoy quite decent HP or mix it around with +40/+30 into both depends if you need that extra HP. Most creatures have no use for other stats except Melee/HP/Weight, so you should choose a main stat and substat, then leave all others at 1 to get those 2 going as far as possible.
@@AceFive1 i have one more question if the male has 20/20 mat and 20/20 pat and female has 0/20 mat and 0/20 pat can you still get mutations when you breed? im a little stuck now because i had a male offspring with 1/20 on maternal side? and i wonder if everything must be paternal on the male in order for infinite mutations.
thanks in advance
@@kerkvlerk4720 all of your mutation will always land on paternal side anyway. If you have an anky thats 20/20 pat and 20/20 mat and you breed it with 0/20 0/20 female, your offspring will be 40/20 0/20. Once you hit 20/20 on Pat side tho, only maternal side mutations will count so you must be sure that female you breed with is lower than 20/20 (summarized, preferably use 0/20 0/20 females, that way your maternal will never go above 1/20).

Damn I legit feel like I'm in school again trying to understand how maths work cuz I didn't listen in class
Wait so if the melee mutation happens, but the baby is female, it’s useless? Cause it can’t breed with the 0/20 0/20 females?
No u just breed it with the male so it automatically gets a mutate for melee for a male
dang i messed up i just kept going and would get random mutations but i ended up getting 20 melee mutations. on father side.
then i stopped. now it shows after i breed with females, 0/0 400mil/20. can i still keep going?
yes. Until 1 stat reaches 255 Wild points in it.
best breeding video i have seen! Good Job!
Question. You said as long as the female doesn’t have any mutations it will not mutate on female side then show how it does mutate on female side? I’m confused. Is it because the male side is full it rolls over?
Im saying that as long as theres no mutations on females, Maternal side will not ever got above 1/20 on an off spring. It'll keep stacking on Paternal side, while maternal side always will remain 0/20 or 1/20 (if mutation occurs there on that particular breed). Off spring mutations always follows both parents side. If you have 21/20 0/20 Father and 0/20 0/20 female and mutation occurs on female the offspring will become 21/20 1/20. Now if you breed this off spring with the same 0/20 0/20 female and it again mutates on female side the offspring will be 22/20 father (the one from female side went on father side cuz its still only Father having it) and 1/20 on female (cuz again, mutation occured here just now. You simply have to uinderstand the system behind it and that fathers summary of mutation always goes to Paternal and mother's to Maternal and since mothers are always 0/20 0/20, the most it can go to is 1/20.
At 8:43 you showed mutations going over 20 on one side and said that you can do this “infinitely”. I thought any mutations after 20 would not count for anything? I think you even mentioned that earlier in your video?
Yes, but did you watch and listen to everything afterwards? After 20/20 on father's side indeed not a single mutation will count. Only if it occurs on that side. By breeding 25/20 0/20 male with 0/20 0/20 female, female's mutation side will never go above 1/20. Every mutation on that side will count and increase the stat.
The max level should be 1786, technically, since a level 1 dino has no points spent into it. So you always have to add 1 to the sum of all stats.
Level of dino is summary of all stat points. If all stat points are maxed out, it gives 1785. Technically if you add 73 domesticated levels, max max level will be 1857(not 1858 cuz one stat has to be 254 to be allowed to level up further as mentioned), unless you play private server that allows more domesticated levels than 73, then it can be even more.
@@AceFive1 No, since a level 1 dino has no points spent to it. It's not level 0. Therefore you have to add 1 to the sum of all spent stat points. But it's not like it's extremely relevant...was just a nitpick
Lol I’m still mad about the flyer nerf. I think we should be able to upgrade speed even on official up to a certain percentage. Say 150 percent so fifty percent faster. That’s not crazy. I’m tired of flying on my argy for a half hour at a time
thats why i stopped bothering with officials
awesome vid but 1 question what does 0/20 mean
when you go into their ancestry line (middle button under stats) theres list of mutation a Dino has in its breed line. Wild Dinos usually have nothing, bred dinos has its parents into. On top left and right theres mutation list that by default is 0/20 on Paternal and 0/20 on Maternal. Thats it.
I didn't fully understand the adding domesticated points to the dinos thing. If I tame to 253 /254 in all stats let's say I'm not gonna be able to use all my domesticated levels right? Because they'll all cap at 255? Also is it better to breed till max level minus max domesticated levels you can get and just level up the last bit?
No. Domesticated levels and Wild Levels are completly unrelated. You can have a 253/254+73 (or whatever is max domestiacted level on your server). Theres just a bug that if you actually reach the 255, game wont let you add more, nothing else, anything below 255 works fine.
Probably too late for the question but:
If i get the offspring with father melee + mutated but it's a female rex, do i kill it and search for a male or i can change the sex to male with s+ mutator and still go on with it as alpha male and replace the old one?
Also sorry for my english :)
you can change gender with ss/s+ mutator or breed it with random 0/20 0/20 male until you get male with same stats
Liked and subbed great content man
I got a Question and need help, its about breeding. I completely understand the breeding System and how to do it but.. I always use like x50 multiplier for breeding on the Female Dinos for Rexes etc. so it doesn't take to much time. Am i really forced to boost these stats? Because on normal settings it would take weeks/months to get good Dinos. And from my experience on the Bosses like the Broodmother, you really need Dinos with mutations on meele/health. So is there a way to beat the game on complete legit Settings? I dont get it and i'm desperate
Multiplier you are talking about is how much % domesticated levels (the ones you get while killing stuff with the dino) gives to specific stats. It has no impact on wild stats and the stats you breed for, its completly separate. And yes ofc its possible to do it with vanilla settings. Tho for Broodmother most people simply uses Megatheriums due to their buff vs Insect-type dinos.
Is that a 40/20, 1/0 male same as 41/20, 0/0 male, those two go for 0/0, 0/0 female, will go for the same results you want
So to start a like a super line of Dino’s you mutate the male as long as you want then when you’re happy you just breed him to a female that came out with the same stats?
no, you take MALE with highest DESIRED stat (you breed 1 stat per breedery, never more. You breed that one Male with as many females as you want. You aim to get an offspring that mutated your desired stat (i.e melee went from 44 to 46). Then you replace your OLD MALE with that new one, with higher stat and repeat the process until you are satisfied. Its always MALE you want. If you were unlucky to get mutation on a Female offspring, just breed her with a random male for as long as you get a MALE with that desired stat. Its explained in the video, please rewatch it few times.
Quick question, if im playing on a server without the level cap, i can theoretically get 254 points in all stats through mutations correct? Not that its really needed, but would be a cool trophy
Yes you can
Hi, i have got a 0/20 20/20 giga on my server, do i do the same thing? or is it different since my muts are on the other side to yours?
Hey, I think I understood how it works and it was well explained. But what would be the best and fastest way for me to get all the best stats from several Dinos into 1 pair so I can breed multiple top Dinos? Like I have 7 Dinos, each with a single stat being very high. What would I do to get a dino pair with all their stats combined?
You would breed three pairs of those together and then rebreed the children, which will have the best of two stats. That way you're only left with 4 (one original with one best stat and three children with two best stats each). Those 4 you can combine to only 2, and that you can combine to 1 with all the best stats. Hope it was understandable. But usually it'S enough to take two or maybe three best stats and accept the othe stats being lower because they don't matter at all.
The way i inbreed stat is i take first pair i.e Melee + HP. Breed until i get offspring with best stats (easy since its only 2 stats). After that, i make that offspring Male and add 4-5 females that possess next big stat (i.e stamina) so i breed Melee+HP Male with 5 Stamina females until i get Melee+HP+Stamina. Repeat, add more females for next etc.
Mine doesn't go any mut it all
It stays on 0/20
You have to keep breeding over and over again it’s an rng chance a dice roll
Use females low lvl
When the fathers side is at 20/20 and mothers is at 1/20 if the mutation hits on mother’s side why doesn’t the 1/20 go to 2/20 instead of the fathers side going to 21/20?
Like i said, mutations are taken from Parents and slapped on Maternity and Paternity. Your dino that was born with 20/20 father and 1/20 mother will now breed with 0/20 0/20 female. Offspring of this couple will have summed up mutations of parents. Knowing that, offspring has 20/20 + 1/20 of father = 21/20 and 0/20+0/20 from mother = 0/20. If mutation occured on mother's side again, your dino is now 21/20 1/20. This will repeat forever, as long as you use 0/20 0/20 females, the only side that will increase in mutations will be Father's side as only Father has any mutations in this couple. Hope its understandable.
What if you are on ps4 and cant use mods? Is there a way to increase the chance getting mutations without those s+ mods? Thanks
Nope, sadly not. Just breed a shit ton of dino's. I'm on ps4 as well. It sometimes takes me 100+ breeding sessions to get melee mutation. My advice is, just trade for a breeding pair with good mutation with someone. It will save you hours of time and effort
unfortunetly no. Just breeding normally and deal with another insane RNG number (7% chance for offspring to mutate naturally). Terrible job, i suggest using like, 100 females and maybe you'll get a right mutation every 5-6 breeds.
HOW TO CHECK MUTATED HP /OX/STA?,
NEED IMPRINT 100% FIRST?
The max level Dino when all stats are mutated how does it work on boosted servers?
What program do you use to make that ?
I understand now what to do but, what decides to which side the mutation goes to
[R]andom[N]umber[G]enerator kekw
Also if I am breeding for weight with my Argent and say he is 51 but I want to breed for stamina and health eventually. If I get a male born that has the same 51 weight but gets a mutation in stamina out of luck, should I replace my current male breeder with him since it is a stat I want to increase but to a lesser import than weight?
No. You never breed for more than 1 stat per breedery. If you want Stamina, find a male that has the highest stat in it and build it a separate breedery. If you breed for weight, you kill everything that didnt go into weight. Adding unneccessary mutation to the pool slows down the process. Make 2 separate breederies where 1 breeds Weight, other Stamina. After you are done, inbreed the 2 to have both at once.
Reverse piper perri 2:03
You forgot to highlight the point that mother can mutate father's stat and thus allow baby to inherent a higher stat. Much of the comments seems to not understand this point. Or perhaps you don't understand this point either? That is to say you don't need a clean female breeder but your female breeder must be below 20 aka it can be from 0-19 and mutation will still occur. The alpha male's counter has no real meaning because mutation counters grow exponentially.
yup, i definitely do not understand that even tho thats the whole point of the video B). If i'm gonna add even more confusion about what females to use, people will understand even less. This is a guide HOW TO BEGIN, if you start with a clean 0/20 0/20 Alpha Male, if you dont use 0/20 0/20 females you'll cut your first 20 mutations short and enter just-female side mutation way too fast, extending the process. Appreciate the input, but next time listen more carefully.
@@AceFive1 Obviously you don't understand. Next time check out how others do their's mutation guide and how they do their explanation.
Im playing official, so im never gonna reach this kind of stats but of im breading a Rex, i get a double mutation one on mele (what i want) and one one o2 (what i dont want) does it matter if i bread away the o2 stat later on if i woud like to have the "perfect rex"?
Yes, you focus on breeding only 1 stat to the point of where you want it to be. Then you can just inbreed any other stats into this rex with a bit of effort and patience.
It maybe late but can u breed ur alpha male to that same 15 females? Or should u catch another females to continue breeding each time u get mutation?
you dont change females, ever. Completly no point.
Ok and if I get a Offspring with a melee mutation (3:10) but it’s a female what I’m gonna do than???
Keep breeding it with a random 0/20 0/20 male for as long as offspring comes out as Male and takes over the female's stat. If you have access to Mutator, you can use gender swap pulse.
So if all my females and males have 1000s of mutations ill need to re tame let say another female with 0 mutations and Carry on process with my male with lots of mutations in both?
Sorry, havent been up here for a while. Yes, thats exactly it. As long as females are below 20/20 (preferably 0/20) you can mutate infinitely.
Do i have to tame wild females or can i just breed females 0/20 0/20 and use them?
Try to breed untill you have the exact same male and female (statwise) so its easyer to follow up what your doing. So if you have a male rex with 40 health and a female rex with 40 melee, breed until you have a male melee and female with identical stats and then start with the mutation process.
and what if the u get the stat mutation your looking for but its on a female ?
You breed that female with random 0/20 0/20 male for as long as you get a Male with desired mainstat from female. If you have access to mutator you can use gender change pulse too.
But ive seen in videos when they tame a low lvl female for breeds they dmg so it does not get any extra points how will this effect the process?
I mean, i've kinda said that it doesnt matter at all what stats or what level female rex is. It can be literally anything.
@@AceFive1 thanks for responding
I can't seems to get 21/20 at all, always goes to 1/20, however I'm at 0/20 20/20 on male, is that an issue? Should it have been 20/20 0/20? Don't know if it matters, I thought it doesn't.
Ok, not sure I 100% understand, after re-watching the video, does it mean that I have to first have 1/20 20/20, before it will start going to 21/20 without it being a "nothing"?
@@Nka19 That means that your females arent 0/20 0/20. If you get big numbers on Maternal Side it means you are using females with a lot of mutations and it stockpiles on their side.

My male can have hunderts of mutations on male and female side and can mutatet as long my female is on 0/0 0/0?
Yes
what does 255 stat or 254 stat mean is it our dinos level or what ?
I am planning to make a video guide about what these numbers are. ITs a "wild stat point". Dino's level is determined by their stats so its 1+summary of all stats it has. To find out what is the Wild Stat point you either need a Spyglass mod that displays it or you can take a clean, not leveled/not imprinted dinos and input his stats here: www.dododex.com/stat-calculator and you'll know how much of points it has.
Ya but in the beginning, dont you gotta have two dinos with good stats? What if you have 1 alpha male and 12 crappy rexes, you breed them over and you get the melee you want but a 3000 hp rex? don't your 12 females have to be identical to the alpha male you breed before you go down this road?
Why would they have to be? I said that females can be level 10 Rexes with every stat at 2. Once you FINISH breeding the stat you wanted, you can inbreed this stat into any other rex you have (some perfect tame with other stats you want). Level and stats of females doesnt matter. Its always about Alpha Male. Its his stat that has to carry over and mutate.
Bro what If I don't have s+ mutator?
Why you need to breed with tame female instead of using baby with mutation female ?
Cuz all mutations stacks up on małe side, if you use females with mutations you'll make your life harder because you'll reach 20/20 faster than you would with 0/20 female.
@@AceFive1 Yes.
How do I know what stats are better in a Dino then the others and how do I know what mutated on the stats
you either use a spyglass mod on unofficials or write down the percentages from F menu on dododex / ark wiki fandom page to get the numbers

@@kerkvlerk4720 i dont agree with ark smart breeding being anyhow useful. You can get all the stat values of your dino simply by inputing them on dododex/ark fandom site and it'll give you a hard wild level numbers. By these numbers its easy to deduct what stats are highest and which dino to use as Alpha (ofc you cant have imprint and any levels added to get proper amounts of %). I've tried this smart breeding thingy and on unofficial its 100% worthless due to spyglass modes, on official its just as much of a pain as using those 2 sites i listed above.
How do you tell how many points are in a stat to begin with?
You can do it via any modded spyglass or if you play Vanilla then you can input raw, BASE stats (cant be imprinted) to: www.dododex.com/stat-calculator and you'll get the wild point numbers.
@@AceFive1can you tek stuff or is it the same as the regular version? Also what if my stats per lvl is cranked up?
If a Female gets a mutation should I remove her from the breeding pool? What I am not understanding is that if I have a male argent with say a 50 weight and he is mating with a zero mutation female with 34 weight, how is that going to bump his weight stat higher?
Then re-watch the guide for as long as it needs to click. Mutation adds +2 to a random stat based on what was inherited. If your offspring inherits Male stat (50) and mutates in that weight stat, it'll be 52. If your offspring inhreits Female stat (36) and it mutates, it'll be 38, but you dont care about that as this offspring is crossed out for losing first RNG which is a chance to get higher stat (male's in this case). For a good offspring all numbers have to allign. You need to get the higher stat (male's one), then it needs to mutate that particular stat (1 out of 7 chance) and if its above 20/20 you also need to win a 50/50 chance that it mutates on female side (its random and doesnt matter, male stat can be increased even if female side mutated, which side mutated has no relation to inhrited stat). I've explained it in the vid, looks like you didnt pay close enough attention.
@@AceFive1 I watched the video multiple times the problem I have is I have seen so many videos with people who have differing opinions that I am just confused. Watching the video again my plan is to have my Male breeder and 40 unmutated females. I will mass breed, eliminate all the females and males that are not better than the male. Do not replace the females in the breeding pool with better females with mutations and simply keep breeding over and over with the 40 zero mutation females and hope RNG blesses me with mutations in weight. The people on the server I play on insist that you never level up the breeding male and the females he is breeding with, you just leave those points unspent. From your video that doesn't seem like it makes a difference.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 Yes, what you just said is a proper way to do it. The reasoning behind not leveling or imprinting those is that official servers or unofficials without any Spyglass mod/other mods that can show you "wild points" have it ruined if you level them up. If you paste down raw stats of a newborn that wasnt leveled into a calculator on sites like dododex or ark wiki, it'll tell you how many actual wild points (the ones i talk about in vid) your dino has. Servers with an actual spyglass mod that shows you directly wild and domesticated levels doesnt have to care about that
@@AceFive1 Cool, the server I play on has that telescope mod and I was trying to tell them that leveling the tames does not matter because we will always know what their original stats are. However, I have only been playing ARK for about 2 weeks so I was told to STFU and I had no idea what I was talking about.
@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 People and especially "youtubers" that records guides have very weird, biased opinions about stuff. I personally dont play the game anymore, but a lot of systems are way simpler than people makes them to be by pouring way too much info than needed to convert. Glad the vid helped you and hope you'll get some decent argies.
Why didnt i found this video earlier
Fr been searching for months😂
@@sweatyyy_nalid4730 nur still dont unterstand the bypass of the Limit lol
can you please make a video how to breed more stats? like for rhinos or manas? because i don"t know the best method to do that
Do you need high level female rexes? Or level 100 enough?
Like i said, level of females has no meaning at all, they can be level 5 for all you care.
@@AceFive1 how long does this mutation process take?
@@lucash3551 i mean, its instant? Depends on your server rates and what you aim for. You literally use mutator and breed them, offspring will always have a mutation
IAM THE 69 SUBCRIBER WOOOOOOOOO
am not really a content creator or youtube, but thanks for subbing LUL might post some ark stuff later as well
@@AceFive1 😎
So, how does one bring 2 lines of breeding together please?
You breed them together, 60% chance go get the better one of each stat. You use 0/20 (or less than 20) females to enable more (new) mutations. But already achieved mutations does not disappear, so you can breed them to get a super-dinos with maybe 40/20 64/20 or similar :)
How do you check what stat will be mutated?? 3:06
You can't tell beforehand, you compare the stats with the father and check for increases.
My dinos have like thousands of muations and tens of thousand o mutations on official small tribes what that mean
If on both sides, then that means whoever bred them had no idea what he was doing.
@@urnansflipflop7894 I mean they are top stat but I think these have been breed by a crap ton of tribes then just stacked
@@urnansflipflop7894 but if u breed that with a wild one all mutations switch to one side. That helps? I mean i have a Male like the guy say with hundrets of mutations on both Side and i breed it with a wild one and Switch all that Shit on (male) Side can i breed with them? So the female side ist clear again
But what if u get mutated female?
if you get a mutated female, you want to breed it back to the male
untill you get a male with her stats, and then make him the new alpha breeder
How do you find out if your Dino has 0/20?
open his ancestry line and check numbers on top. Should say 0/20 on both left and right side
@@AceFive1 thank you for the fast answer
