So what did you do in ARK today?

I just tamed my first Giga and found out that it wasn't worth it in the least. It was a lvl 20 Giga when it was wild and now it's lvl 40. I already have three Rexes that are lvl 220+ and ALL OF THEM are WAY better than the Giga.... It has a minimum of 3000 less health than all of my Rexes and for gods sake my lvl 200 Phiomia hits almost 3X HARDER IN THE MELEE DAMAGE DEPARTMENT (The Giga has 45% melee damage...). Because of it's overall patheticness I named her Tiny. If anybody's wondering why I bothered to tame a lvl20 Giga, it's because it's literally the only one that spawned on the entire map. I scouted the entire map with my Pteranadon before I settled for a lvl 20. I'm just glad I have a Giga now so that I can move on and tame things that might actually be worth the effort...

All points should go into melee and the percentage is of their base damage

giga base damage is 1000 so 45% of that

rex base damage is 62 so you need 726% to equal your giga currently

phiomia base damage is 10, I'm not even doing this math

That being said, it is a bit of a worthless tame at that level but really it is still very strong and will be alright for simple meat runs in the swamp. Just don't use it to fight other giga's, titans, alpha's, and avoid kentro's with it else it will rage and eat you.

I mean the reason I know that my Phiomia has far higher melee damage is that I tested the Giga out on a training dummy and it was throwing out 96 as the DPS... Also my Rexes have 20k health and my best has 1000% melee damage.

PS4 - Single Player - The Island

 

continued to grind it out with my latest character. Finally got to level 38, so I could make the Ptera saddle! Now i can go work towards taming some Argies, even if I can't saddle them for another 30 levels.

Last night while waiting to hit that level 38. I ended up  taming 2 Trikes for berry gathering and defense, tamed 6 dilos, and took a raft trip to the cave on the ESE side, and grabbed some crystal. (I never could find that damn cave in the SSE :( )

With my crystal, I crafted up some spyglasses, with crystal to spare. 

I also tamed up another Ptera and I took care of that Spino that was not far from me. I tamed it up, OF course when it was at 98%, a freaking Sarco appearred and nearly killed it, so I ended up with only 15% TE :Jerbcry:

Oh well, I can't even ride it for many more levels, but at least I have some more protection for the base until then.

Next phase is to take the Ptera out and find and tame some Argies.

 

Gotta run........

Finished the workshop, built a fabricator, a generator, cabling and my first refrigerator. I've got powah! Very nice, about time. Still a very long way to go. I also desperately need a better anky and a bird, and a quetz would be nice too...but one step at a time.

Having completed my building for the day I went out to tame and came back successful. Added 2 more dilos, a dimo, a pachy, 2 paras, a ptera and a terror bird to my farm. I also ended up taming another micro because it was annoying me while I had the terror bird down, so I now have an unintentional egg group of those lol. I'm actually in pretty good shape now, with at least one female of every imprint kibble animal except gallis and dimetrodons, of which I currently have none of either. Animal wise my biggest priority now will be two more female argents to complete an egg flock. I am really hurting without a good spino, I just do not like rexes that much.

With the workshop completed my biggest base priority by far is the aviary itself to protect my rapidly growing collection of farm animals, plus it will eventually house my working birds too.

But I also need a lot of interior work. The biggest in every sense of the word is of course an industrial forge, but an immediate need is also a grill so I can begin jerky production in earnest now that I have a fridge, eggs and crops. One fridge will also fill up very quickly, as I'm used to having at least 4 or 5 just for basic food storage. And of course who can make kibble without a cooker...

So, so much to do.

I've started again, couldn't stay away for too long! This time around ive decided to do Single Player (inspired by Diablo 2) and come here to write about it! I tend to stray from my plans or get bored on SP plays so I figure if I record some key parts it will keep my intrests up!

 

For this go ive decided to do a full ascension experience. Playing through story on Island-SE-Ab, beating the bosses and decking out a base in Tek.

 

This will be a long, multi-tiered journey and I plan to make it pretty low farming rates (2x harvest, 1.5x xp, 4x Tame) while breeding is boosted to compensate for non persistant world and sporadic playtimes. I also have a slight boost to per point invested in Weight for dinos and player. (1.5) 

 

Now lets start! I decided I would start in Ragnarok without any stipulations besides getting a good crew together to eventually bring over to Island and do bosses. Ive been at it now for a few weeks, ill stuff all the starting stuff into a small paraphrase.

 

I started out in Highlands with a vigor. I've been waiting all week to start up, only having mainly weekends to play. I have a game plan in mind, get a horse. Get a ptera, saddled. Build a trap, get a Griffin. I did the usual thatch hut, berries etc. As i was stimbling around scanning for that one Giga that spawns there I stumbled upon Rockcarrot and took off to find a horse. I saw a few low levels, I had 72 carrots so I was going to look for something decent. After the second ridge, my wives' friend was watching, I was explaining the game and how I was looking for a Horse. As im texting and walking she screams "Unicorn!" and I scramble and get to it. Only a level 20, oh well! Tamed it up, took off around on my newfound glory. 

 

As im slumming around I find a 130 horse, jump off my Unicorn and hop on the 130. Im bucking around mid tame and my.unicorn gets jumped by spiders and snakes, she dies.. not even named!  I end up getting smacked a few times, losing some % but taming the horse. Great starter mount for a level 27! 

 

I decide im not going to comit to a base yet and set up a small outpost in the waterfall cave in highlands. Tamed a 130 Trike, leveled up a bit. Tamed a 145 pteradon with some slaughtered sheep meat and parked it in my cave until I can make a saddle for it.

 

Finally able to make my saddle i take off to the skies to find a new (and hopefully perm.) base location as I make my way to Green ob to get a Griff. I make a small but efficient trap, a side hut to store my Ptera and go searching for a decent griffin. Theres 3 spawns around, 50, 90... I almost brought it back but decided to keep looking. Near the bridge, 130! I seem to be on a 130 trend but ill.take it! 

 

I got the sucker in the trap and after a long proccess and a few crossbows later I got it knocked out. I only had a few mutton left and set out to get some prime. Nearly killing my ptera a few times I decide to just raw meat the rest and watch a movie while it tames up. It came out at some lower %, 75 or something but a huge boost for me regardless. 

 

I left my trusty ptera there and flew off with my griffin to search the lands for a suitable (and nice) spot.

we  mass breed gigas and they  usually come out with 10k health and 360% to 400% melee damage  with is upped by 10% with  imprint buffs we usually kill any  gigas that have under 10k health or 200% melee unless it has cool mutations

PS4 - Single Player - The Island

 

Late night of work, and after work dinner commitment, so not much time played last night, but I did take one of the Pteras out in search of better Ptera or Argy. The levels on the island at this setting are so freaking low! the highest I have seen for ANYTHING, was a level 36 Anky. Otherwise everthing is lower. My Pteras have less than 300 stamina, so flying is a chore. But I will continue to look and try to tame a better one. 

So as I fly over to the redwood area near the center of the map, I see a beacon, and drop down to grab it. I open up the drop and it is a Pachyrhino saddle. This is a dino I have NEVER tamed, and never plan on taming. So just as I am about to jump back on the Ptera, I get Dilo'd. Luckily the Ptera is on Neutral., so he takes off to defend me. But then I get bit by a snake, I am a sliver away from dying, when the Ptera kills both the Dilo and Snake. I pass out from snakebite, and when I wake up, my Ptera is also knocked out! So I am feeding it Stims, trying to revive it, as I see other snakes and dilos in the area. While waiting for the Ptera to wake up, I am also chomping cooked meat to get my HP back. 

Finally "First Flight" my Ptera wakes up and I prepare to jump on, a Kapro comes flying in but before it actually grabbed me, I poked it in the face with my metal pike, I hit like 3-4 times and then it flies backwards over a rock and disappears. It wasn't killed, it just like rubberbanded back from where it came from; really weird. Needless to say, I jump on the Ptera and try to get the heck out of there, but the Ptera is overweight due to the meat we both had collected fighting off the baddies, so I'm dumping meat as another Kapro and snake are closing in,  literally at the last second the Ptera starts moving, and I start to exhale, but NO, the Ptera is now out of stamina and so we land just yards from where we took off! :Jerbmad:

 

The bad guys are coming, and I am freaking out. Once again at the very last second, we take off and have just enough stamina to fly far enough to land out of agro on a rock. Eventually we make our way to the top of the hill in the redwoods where the rich metal is. In the past with other characters, I have seen  plenty of Argies here, so I start looking around, and finally see a couple of Argies. With my new spyglass, I see that they are level 2 and level 4. :( But since I only have raw meat anyway, I figure I will take the Level 4 as a starter. A few crossbow shots later it drops and I stuff some meat in it. ( I'm not worried about perfect tames since I am in a hostile area, it is a low level bird, and I don't have prime or kibble anyway)

After putting the meat in the Argy, I jump on the Ptera to view the taming from a rock a bit away. (I always try to do this, to prevent drawing a baddie towards me and the KO'd dino)

Suddenly I hear a screech, and the level 2 Argy is attacking us. I jump off the Ptera (who I had set to passive when taming the first Argy) and I knock out this Argy as well. It lands right on top of the rock I was on, and so I grab some more meat from the Ptera, and now I have two argies taming. Sure they are both low levels, but what the hell It is better than nothing, and I can always use them as mules for metal and protection.

Then I notice off in the distance a level 18 Argy, and I know there is no way I will pass this up. (Pretty funny to say, considering with my Ragnarok character I only tame 140 and above normally; but on this Island map/setting the levels are so incredibly low.) Well it was dodgy, but I got the Level 18 Argy, and even better, was that as he was flying away, he ended up dropping right next to the other two Argies. I then had to rush and kill a nearby Ptera, to get meat for Argy #3. 

A few tense minutes watching raptors get closer, and I had 3 tamed Argies! the 4 flyers and I then took to the air and towards the home base. Each time we had to stop for Ptera stamina, I would look for a low level dino and set the Argies on it for the meat and XP. Finally not far from base, I landed on a hill top that has a Explorer note and rich metal and I filled up the argies with metal while also gaining 3 levels in quick time for my character. I am now less than 20 levels from making Argy saddles!

Slowly the burdened argies and I made it home, I unloaded the metal into the forge. (It was so nice to actually put 600 metal into the forge, instead of 7 , 9, 13 pieces at a time like normal from the river rocks.)

I crafted a second trough and filled that with meat and berries, leveled up all the dinos that were ready, and called it a successful night!

Another day goes by, I spent most of my time looking for a base spot and also was looking for a nice sturdy tame. After flying around highlands I see a 150 bear on redwood sands and build a trap to try and knock it out. Luckily I put a bed, the bear almost killed my Griff and did kill me twice. Got that sucker penned and knocked out. Grabbed some raw mutton and it tamed out quite nice. I decided upon this mountaintop near Beaver Paradise (Titan's Rise) and set up camp. I just built a small shack, bed etc until I can go grab my horse, bear and ptera. 

 

I log off for the night to make the migration tomorrow

Sorry for the double post, I decided to record all of this after over a week of playing so trying to throw it all down while at work, pesky boss keeps interrupting me :P 

 

I managed to get my Ptera, Bear and Horse to my new base spot. Lots of sabers around but theyre made quick work of with my Asc. Pike I got from a yellow ring drop! I had drops turned up tp 4.0 and have since turned them down to 2.5, I didnt want to find Asc. Stuff all over the place (but kept the pike because its so good :) ) 

Managed to get up a wall, gate and a small taming pen to double as an Argy pit and drop tame spot. Kited some level 20 argy around my base into it, made up a saddle and went off searching for a beaver to throw in there. 

 

After a long fight with some beavers (i just wanted free paste :( ) I found a level 100, good enough for now.. got it up in the pen and tamed out decently with berries. 

 

Continued making my base a bit more fortified, knocked out some low level doed and made up a behemoth gate, logged out for the night happy with the progress I made!

 

The next day I logged on with a plan in mind. I was going to expand my base, get some metal going and get an Anky tamed up. I found a 140 Anky just down the hill, knocked it out after a loooong chase trying to bring it up closer to my base. I just throw spikes around it and tame it in the open. Grab my Argy and do a fly around while im waiting for the tame, spot a 150 female Saber and a 130 male, tame them 1 by 1 while my Anky tames.

 

I throw all my new tames in my expanded base and head out my front gate for some metal. Few hundred ingots later, after dinner I get to work making up a fab, genny fridge and ac. Feels good to be into electrical age again! Been stocking up on jerky, made a grill and cooked a few stacks of mutton, threw in my new fridge. Ran out again for a quick metal run, made some more arrows and some tranqs. 

 

I gathered some taming mats and decided I should at least look for a Rex to get my line started. Head off to my griffin outpost, saw a 130 rex there the other night. My griffin was a nice 130 tame, tamed with raw meat so it lost quite a few levels and im feeling it with low stam. Found that 130 rex, got it knocked out after almost dying to the roar making me poop haha.

 

Got it tamed up, now its a long walk back so i threw it in my griffin pen's walls. It really sucks that rex cant fit through dino gates anymore! I decide ill throw it in obby and download closer to base. Was fed up with my griffin and set out to find a better one around. Killed a few around and nothing over 100 was spawning.

 

Logged off for the night decided id stay near green for easy taming next time ai get on

Finally finished off my tribute to all those box-bases: A 16x16 breeding facility made out of 4x4 metal boxes.

Cheers to my tribemate who didn't kill me after I've spent all those 70+k ingots he farmed. (Official legacy gathering settings)

Hah ! Thats awesome. Id love to see some interrior pics!

 

Almost caught up on my current progress! 

After taming that rex, I saw the saddle was 74 now. Being 68? I think i decided to head home and grind some exp, maybe get a bronto to speed up narc production.

 

As im flying out of green ob valley I spot a 145 griffin! Get back to my taming pen, grab my ptera and drag the griffin back to my pen, get it knocked out. (This pen is seriously the easiest taming pen ive made, griffin AI doesnt like pillars and they get trapped easily :) ) 

 

As its taking its forced nap, i decide to fly around and take in the sights. I spot a 135 paracer by green ob, cant build near obelisk T_T so I knock it out old fashioned way. Throw berries in it and head back to griffin. Hes almost tamed up, stash my first griffin and hop on my new one to level it up. A few bronto and rexs later hes already better than my old one :) Paracer is tamed up, I walk my rex to green ob on follow, throw paracer and rex in cloud to download closer to my base from a drop.

 

Found a MC paracer saddle platform on the way home and found out you cant download/upload from drops in SP ><

 

..oh well! I head back home, no timer on SP so i rest easy. Found a 150 bronto walking near a cliff by my base, craft up a bunch more arrows, take my new MC crossbow out and park on a cliff to shoot the bronto. It goes down pretty easily, even walked close to my base! Now the long wait.. make a saddle while im waiting.

 

Get that sucker tamed up, do a big berry run and continue my buisness. Im starting to accumulate a few big tames and decide i should expand my base a bit. Mated my sabers and went off expanding my base a bit. Saber baby came out pretty meh.. didnt bother imprinting more than once. (50% isnt bad) 

 

As im expanding I get a gut feeling that this place isnt going to work for my ever expanding tame count. I decide to head back to green ob, scout a new rex and look at a base spot near green ob. I know thats the biggest, mosy flat spot on Rag and I decide I should be close to an Obelisk for future transfers to the Island.

 

I caved and started planning my green ob base. I didnt want to be here, as I was at Lake Vogues on my last private server. Oh well! I wont be spending too much time on Rag except to breed rexs for Island anyways.

 

Frame out a decent 15x12 hatching pen, throw 120 fences down and head off to look for a doed for here, sick of hand harvesting after 120 fence foundations and roughly 50 foundations.

 

Found a badly injured 130 doed (is there a tame level theme or what??) Throw a stone box around it and let it heal up as I fight off multiple rexs and such. I was tired, was getting close to midnight and I work at 630am. Head to bed, ill tame that doed Thursday after work (yes, im still behind a day haha)

Last double post, this will have me caught up! After re-reading I realized two things. One, im a terrible writer and im glad I do labour for a living. Two, I forgot to add while travelling between my two bases I found a 150 argy, knocked it out with the arrows I had in the open. It was a huge battle to keep it safe where it was but eventually tamed out perfect :) 

 

Started off Thursday with a base in mind. Of course it never is *just* that!

Jumped on my doed, brought my beaver over yesterday with my argy and headed out into the bush to mass produce a base. I spent a good 2 hours straight on doed/beaver using argy to ferry prebuilt dino gates, walls etc back to base. We havent gotten TLC2 yet on Xbox so I was suprised how efficient this was. I actually kept focus and at the end of it all I had 100 gates & doors, 150 walls and 45 foundations. I was going the lazy gate-wall route this time because I know this base will be big and its already pretty laggy for whatever reason near Green ob.

 

I had a lot of time to play so I managed to get my entire permiter wall up, including 2 behemoth gates with another behemoth gate on my 15x16 breeding / crafting facility. I ended up just putting a roof on the crafting portion and leaving the breeding pen open to the air. Not too worried about threats, there might be a Giga spawn (very rare) but the gates will stop em. There is a titan spawn, I usually just lead them away though.

 

Got all my crafting stations down, I was smart this time and built my genny in my foundations whilist framing so I was able to run cable perfectly straight & hidden in foundations. Woohoo! Farmed up another fridge, 2x ac and a ton of storage. 

 

I wanted to do some taming now, I set off on my rex (now saddled) for a killathon around green to try and get a good level male rex spawn. Spent a good hour just killing before i got my first intresting dino, 120 female rex. What the heck. Knock it out away from the spawns and let it starve with spikes around it as Im killing away. Almost another hour passes, my rex is tamed and im still killing. I head back to base to drop hide off and possibly hop off and whuddya know.. Ark has other plans. I spot a real nice coloured Rex, red spine, white body, red-orange belly, scope it and its a 140 male! Hes close to my base so I drag it to my gates and pin it with more gates against mine. Knock it out, tames up with no problems. Low hp, high stam, decent melee. 

 

I threw them together and made a couple eggs which ive hatched and just finished babies before bed.

 

I just got home (irl) just hopping on now to get some imprints, start of my weekend so much more interesting things to come later!

That's why you leave the rex on passive and use a pike/sword/crossbow to kill the dilo. Or spike walls for protection.

Yesterday was another busy day.

First off I will say...I didn't do any building. I did make a grill and immediately farmed oil and then a couple of alphas to fill it. With my jerky supply finally rolling I went off to hunt, mainly looking for two argents to round out my farm.

Out to carno point, the first thing I took notice of was a lone Easter argent attacking an alpha raptor...and the alpha was fleeing. You better believe I checked that bird first, a 135 male. I had a feeling I should tame it so...I did. I got it down and took a huge risk running home to make what I could for kibble, then ran back. I was going to starve tame but the alpha had disappeared so I did the next best thing. Gathered a bunch of prime, fed it, chucked the kibble in then went off to farm. I eventually found the alpha (it had run into the snow and gotten stuck out of sight) but obviously it was too late by then. No matter. Still got the tame as good as I could manage and it stood up a 190. Very respectable, and the stats aren't too bad either. 39 HP, 33 weight and 34 melee, stamina got the shaft a bit but I'll take it.

Got him home and went back out to hunt. Eventually tamed and brought home 2 Easter ankys, a terror bird, 3 more argents and 2 pegos. Yes, you read that last one correctly. I tamed pegos. On purpose. Crazy, right? I also went looking for a pachyrhino but didn't find any at a level I was willing to tame.

The only screenshot I took last night, I did tame that anky successfully and brought her home:

20180406142632_1.thumb.jpg.a1c675bb03cc7968a740ccc89bd2d343.jpg

Today's goal: coax eggs from my argents and going out to hunt for the good spino I so desperately need. I was getting so frustrated with Cadbury last night. It's not his fault, but he's just too slow and cumbersome, and the Blue Spino Ranch needs, well, spinos. I only have the one so far, and she's not strong enough for much beyond the occasional swim in the bay below my ridge.

I got myself a 135 Ptera and I kibble tamed it! Please can you help me to name it? :D I also tried to do a huge crystal run on the island but my argy can only carry 250 crystal back from the volcano. My base is on craggs island. Boooooooo!

With such low weight you are probably better off hitting in the area of 75 47 (hill top here has a few crystal nodes) and 64 60 (hill top here). 

from personal experience you'll have some bugs and Theri's to deal with at 75 47 but they are rarely on top of the hill. 

You could also hit a few nodes right in the beginning of the hunter artifact cave 80 53. they are right in the entrance before you get to the nasties. Again some Theri's, Troodons (so no go at night) and maybe a Carno biggest obstacles but for a quick hit it'll at least save you some time until you get a higher weight bird to make the trip to the Volcano worth it. 

I also see you posting, so just so you know there is a post limit on your first couple of days. So if you hit it don't fret, come back tomorrow and keep posting meaningful content and you'll get out of early bird soon enough.

I'm sad, since yesterday the official server ragnarok pve is capped (i see much raft ecc) and I d'not know what to do. Me and my friends wanted to be bosses and grow t rex here but he decided to don't play, is frustating...

I don't know what to do, I don't want to play on unofficial servers because they don't last long and I also want to unlock the achiviement and have the chance that I can go in all the maps...

I think I'll leave ark and I'll look for another game

Remember if you hold a torch they run from you at night now ! :)

I had a busy night! The wife is away at a hockey game this weekend (Cya later Swede brothers!) So I got the whole night to myself!  I Started off by getting 100% imprint on my rex (praise RNGesus) now I have a good base breeder and a good meat runner. Stats need some work but im excited to get my own bloodlines going. Currently sitting at 8k hp 310 melee 1.9k stam

 

As this was happeneing i farmed up the rest of my base, placed 5 fridges, more AC for breeding room. Tamed a level 90 anky for small metal runs at new base. After a few runs i realized its probably faster just to find a dedicated metal spawn and build an outpost.. tomorrow d1nk problems.

Ive been hitting the ice cave drops pretty hard the last few days. Roughly once an hour and ive gotten loads of good stuff. Finally looted a pick blueprint, happened to be a nice Asc one too! Now I just need an axe bp! Theres roughly 5 possible red drops around my base, also hit those hoping for a rex saddle bp.

I bred up another rex, knocked out a 150 paracer near base, mating pair for my 135 I tamed earlier. The rex got shafted on stats but I figure its just another body for the army. Paracer tamed out great, good hp and melee! Found a 150 mammoth, as im knocking it out dodging wolves in snow near my base, mustve accidently hit it an extra time, i didnt notice until i threw food in awhile later and didnt want to reknock out. (Came out 74%) 

 

Did a few more metal runs while it was taming. Got a few stegos for the start of an egg farm. Birthed a baby pacer, came out same stats as new tame but opposite gender, sweet! Realized ill need a kibble farm for imprints so thats my mission today. 

 

This base is really coming along, almost complete for the main buildings.. just need to flesh out the crafting stations more, get a farm together (need a dung beetle) and some finishing touches. Ive gone for function over aestetics this time, though I will try to atleast make it look good! 

 

Just logged on for the day today, getting some lifeblood into me (coffee) and im ready to get stuff done. Hoping for some good imprints on my baby Paracer

So, been a while since I've updated. The wife and I were getting a little bored on our Aberration server shortly after the valentines day event so we decided to take a little break for a bit.

Earlier this week we got the urge to play again, but not on Aberration. We wanted to go back to the island. We haven't played the Island since the island was the only map, shortly after the first biomes came out. So I rented a second server last night and today started new toons. The only mod Im using is S+. We have a difficulty of 7.5, taming at 7.5x and gathering and xp at official rates.

We spawned at the red oblisk and got a little shack built near the red oblisk cove. Spent most of the morning levling and stock piling and we also tamed a poop machine to use as a fridge.

 Then an alpha raptor spawned near our beach. We are no way prepared to kill one, so i put all my gear in a box and spent the next 20 minutes suicide kiting it away. Once it was far enough away we called it quits for the day. 

Our immediate plan is to level to 16 to build a raft, then we are going to pack up and move north and build a base on the outskirts of the snow biome. Our 1st time playing the island we spent most of out time around weathertop and hidden lake, so we thought it would be nice to check out differant areas

So far today some terrifying and good news. I was out on my lesser griffin getting drops and checking tames. Landed for a yellow near my base and a 145 giga came out from some trees, i tried to run but foolishly was out of stamina from traveling before and died, lost my first griffin! I went back and admin killed the giga out of spite. My first admin code kill lol.

 

Was out looking for a dung beetle and came across a 145 quetz flying above volcano. Im only level 76 but I do have quite a few rex eggs, having 6 rexs from breeding now. I chased that sucker for a good while and got it knocked out in murdersnow lake. Made some rex kibble painstakingly in the cooking pot, got 3/4 of what I needed the rest will be mutton. Currently 50% tamed.

 

Edit: Ive had two dashboards today, one made me lose a tame, the other made my quetz tame at 80% go back to 30% when i pumped narcs on him, had to go refarm 1000 narc berry and lost 4 kibble because rollback (idk wsaidits fine now, got more mutton itll only tame a few lvls lower.

That being said im worried about my xbox's ability to keep ragnarok my main farming / taming / breeding map so im going to take preventative measures. I need a kibble farm but it will lagg me out and potentially cause more of these and worst, corrupt save. (Knock.on wood for me please!!) So im going to devise a "tame for kibble" system where i tame X dino (maybe has to be mate boosted?) And kill them.off in exchange for spawned eggs at an amount per the tamed level. Low amount say.. 5 eggs per lvl 150 or something to keep the grind & reduce lagg.. 

Edited out question, answred below. Thanks!
