Elgar Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hi, I was browsing through Dododex website and I discovered this article : "ARK Breeding & Mutations Guide". Link : https://help.dododex.com/en/article/ark-breeding-mutations-guide Nothing I didn't already know, except this paragraph which really surprised me : Quote On a Giga, the only stat that matters is Melee. All other stats have such minor increases with tamed levels that it does not make a difference. Once I tame it, the stat points will increase randomly by the amount of levels it gains. So on a 150, that comes out to 224 with kibble taming, meaning there are 74 more points that will randomly allocate. It is SUPER important to remember that the highest stats have a higher chance of getting more points added to that stat. "Highest stats have a higher chance of getting more points added to that stat." Mmm, what ?? I tamed a bazillion dinos and I always thought that the points which are added upon completion of the taming were randomly allocated. Like, totally randomly. For a 150 dino who will gain 74 points (kibble taming), that means an average of 10 to 11 points for each of his 7 stats. But it's random : some stat will gain for example 9 points, another stat 13, another 8, etc. According to this guide, that would mean that it's not totally random, but that the higher a stat is, the higher chance it gets to have points added. Is it true ? What do you dev kit wizards think ? Looking at you @invincibleqc ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yekrucifixion187 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think it may be worded confusingly but your random distribution should be correct. I think it is implying that if during that random distribution it gives one of those 25 level rolls, and it hits that stat, that's how you get your 50/60+ breeding stock.

Deadman Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Not in my experience its completely random which stats the points go into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, what ?? I tamed a bazillion dinos and I always thought that the points which are added upon completion of the taming were randomly allocated. Like, totally randomly. Yes, they are distributed randomly. If it gains 74 levels from taming, then 74 loops are performed increasing a random stat by 1. The initial value doesn't matter. However, although the wording can be confusing, that quote is right to an extent. For example, if your tame have 5-10-5-5-5-5-5, then the 10 have much better odds at becoming the highest of all once all post-tame points are distributed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomiDarko Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 My lvl 224 Raptor which had 30 points into melee pre-tame and ended up with 36 after wouldn't have ended in an Alpha Rex' stomach if higher stats mean more points into them after taming...

Piffguru Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I never heard of this one before, only thing close is with breeding its said that for example the male has 100melee and the female has 150melee that the baby will have a 55% chance of getting the higher number of the two. I believe that to be correct but as for taming stats being allocated im pretty sure its random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it true ? The guide is mistaken, each point is distributed randomly with an equal chance of going to any stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
