[@phazinlazersmusic2848]

An extra tip. If your starter base pair isnt 150, you can potentially breed up a better pair as long as you make sure it doesnt have a mutation. For example i have a tamed 150F giga and an 84 male from taming. As long as it doesnt have a mutation, you can breed the 2 together to get a higher level male to make a base pair from. It can be useful for some more tedious, harder to tame creatures.

[@sandwich3495]

^This, idk why anybody hasn't mentioned this...

[@Asdfboy_]

Thing is, your Giga will almost never have better stats in any of the areas because the best stats you've got are probably the ones from your 150. How it works is that wild dinos have a system to give them levels randomly up to 150, if you get lucky one of the wild ones you get might get a lot less points in say Oxygen which is a worthless stat and in turn get his other stats boosted. That is why she recommends to tame a lot of 150 and see who has the better stats, because breeding another 150 will only inherit the stats of the parent with the highest ones. There's a neat mod I use to make this a little better that's called "Awesome Spyglass!" that shows exactly how many points wild dinos have in each stat, so you can just search for the one boosted stat you want with just your spyglass, a plus from it is that there is a possibility to get a

@@sandwich3495 in a way she did mention it, at the beginning she spawned in 36 rexes. And picked the ones with the highest stats in certain fields. So before even mutating you have to get the best health and melee together for example. So your two 150s are level like 200. Then you start mutating. If you only use the 150 and an 80, odds are the 80 won’t even have any stats better then the 150, so you would only have a 150 still

[@stevetaranto6732]

Essentially to sum up the vid: 1: search for the wild tames with the best stats to mate for the best base pair. 2: have 1 base male and multiple base females 3: once you get mutations on one stat, continue to breed for that stat only in order to get a consistent chain and the most amount of mutations for that stat 4: if the chain is on a female mutation, breed that female with the base male in order to get a male with 0 on the patrilineal mutation chain and transfer the moms matrilineal chain onto the newbreds patrilineal chain. 5: Once the mutations for one stat is complete, breed that for another stat with the base and search for another stat boost and a new mutation chain

[@cyanide7270]

As a bonus side effect of gaining a Mutated Female, whilst breeding her with the Base Male, you can also let the Base Females also breed, which will then also potentially net you 1) More Base Females to add to the breeding line which will exponentially increase the speed of gaining mutations, and 2) Possibly a new mutation chain beginner, say a Damage mutated male that you can put aside for when you want to start that line off.

[@hyperionsf3220]

I was following this guide and the first line I did, after getting my first health mutation in a rex, was I got a female that got a random attack mutation as well. Talk about luck! How do you take this female and give its attack stat to a base male, despite having a 1/20 patr and 1/20 matr now?

[@Zaj88]

Very well made guide with meticulous step-by-step explanations. The only real thing missing is showing that you can continue mutating infinitely. If you breed the Final females with the first base male, there is a (half) chance that you can get a mutation on the patrilineal side, as the first base male has 0/20 - this also has to coincide with the fact that the new born babies have to inherit stats from the final females. As there are still mutation slots avalible (on the first base male), you can actually continue to compound stats along the way by breeding the new mutations into the line. This is how alphas do it now - infinite breeding: If you breed a 20/20 male with a 20/20 female there is a 0 % chance of getting a mutation. The chance of getting a mutation is about 3 %, if both parents have avaliable mutation slots (ie. 19/20 patrilineal and 19/20 matrilineal). In very rare cases (0.06 % of the time) you can get a double mutation - this is because a mutation can happen on both the fathers and mothers side. Having a father 0/20 and a mother 20/20 (or a 200/20 mother) will essentially half the chance of mutations, and will also nulify any chance of a double mutation, because there are no mutation slots left on the mothers side. There is a 50/50 chance that if a mutation occurs the father mutates the mothers stats on the baby, and this is why you can mutate infinitly. You could breed your final females with a 19/20 melee male base to continue making better rexes, adding mutations to your line as you go. I believe this fact was also in the video, but I want to underline it: The max level a dino can be on official is level 450 - any dino above 450 will get deleted with server-restart. Make a new base pair by breeding a base with a level 1 rex to transfer level 1 food and/or oxygen stat - that way you can have even more points in the other stats, and still be at or below level 450. Thank you so much for this contribution - I can't imagine how long it must have taken you.

Honestly I'd suggest not even trying this on official unless you have around 64 females. I've speced weight and can carry 32 eggs at once so it's just a solid number for me. But 64 should allow you to get mutations a lot easier. I'm playing solo currently and I only have 8, so I wait til they lay 4 eggs and hatch at the same time. About the time those are hatching the other 4 are just about or already there waiting to be incubated and hatched. Sadly theres times when i have to go 8+ cycles. I've legit gone passed 256 eggs a handful of times before getting a proper mutation for the chain I'm working on. Just bad luck I guess Haha. Only reason I get by with 8 is because I've cranked the intervals. If doing on official I'd lose my mind unless I had at least 4 groups to minimize the downtime for breeding to alleviate the headache of the cooldowns (at least for rexes) 4 pods of 16 would work decently well. Been a nightmare but having my rexes having an additional ~250% damage boost from birth is quite nice. Next chain is health. Gonna have me some boss rexes soon!

Very well done u take after nooblets very clear clean instructions u make a complicated task easy to understand

[@seeshellgaming6883]

Thank you

[@leewalton3626]

This is a perfect guide, take a little while to get it into your head when the females come along but works a treat. I am now a master breeder! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@jordanvineyard3531]

This was such a good tutorial. I’ve watched plenty of other videos and read a couple threads. None of them explained breeding as well as this video. Thank you!!

[@alejandro1251]

This guide is so beautiful, I was having so much trouble being a newcomer an all trying to have boss destroying tames. Thank you!

[@AxleLotl]

I always thoroughly enjoy watching these detailed tutorials/guides! The breeding mechanics in ARK are very simple, but the correct process for stacking mutations and min-maxing tames has no room for error which is what makes it exceptionally confusing. This is magnificently put together (:

[@calmrake]

This is the only video i could find where you actually do what you are explaining! I really appreciate this!

[@Littlea-hole1]

I have watched about 15 videos on this subject and yours was the only one that I was able to fully understand and keep up with. Thank you for that.

[@seeshellgaming6883]

ty, glad it still helps after all these years

[@cornxx3]

I give even more props now for the time it must've taken to make this video. I'm breeding rexes finally and I'm referring to this video for concise instruction. It took me 100+ rexes (thanks to the scorched earth rex triangle for quick respawns) to find decent starters, 70+ eggs to get my 1 base male and 8 females and 96 eggs to get my first mutation in a worthy stat (damage). The length of time it's taken me to get to this point with RNG makes you really appreciate a video of this nature. I can only imagine how nuts this would be on official without boosted mating and hatching.

[@ttanker1]

I love this guide. I was so confused about the "base" dino. Started over 3 times until I came across this video. Talk about time consuming! Omg, took me a couple weeks to get my base dinos. I've rewind this video so many times, im pretty sure I could quote word by word lol. I appreciate the patience it took you to make this tutorial.

[@derpderp8270]

Yo do levels matter because like that’s the hardest part about mutations

[@ps1hagrid268]

@@derpderp8270 probably late but yes if you base already has good base stats the mutations can get higher because it’s the bottem point and goes up gradually

[@derpderp8270]

@@ps1hagrid268 so I should get higher lvls?

[@ps1hagrid268]

@@derpderp8270 well the level you tame your dino on is kind of becomes your base

[@ps1hagrid268]

And if your base is higher that’s the lowest stats so the mutations begin at that point

[@MayaaLea]

Hands down the best guide! Thank you so much, I knew nothing about mutations and now I'm ready to breed my own.

[@Du0plexGaming]

This is genuinely the most helpful guide I've ever seen for Ark.

[@matthiass.7249]

I first saw this a year ago and still use it now, still the best Ark guide I've seen.

[@MadGamer_666]

Thanks to this I finally understood mutations... definitely one of the best guides.

[@leonhardt6105]

I've bred some impressive creatures, but now I can up my game. Finally, a detailed, clear, and comprehensive guide to breeding. I had to learn the hard way, as there was no such guide when I started. Well done meshell. Great to see the shard in action too 😉

[@arkbacon2630]

This is the best guide. The other ones are harder to understand because they are like 20-30 minutes. For someone that is new to mutations this is perfect. Thank you

[@dawson8715]

THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY EXPLAINING THINGS. I’ve been trying to figure out breeding for damn near a year now and every guide I watch or read skips over little details. I didn’t know you were supposed to keep your base females, nor did I know to look for higher levels than the parents.

[@alexdouglas101]

This is a really long and really thorough video. It is perfect!! Exactly what I wanted. Lots of explaining, which is what I needed when learning how to breed for stats. Still works for today even with the incubator, incubators make it a little easier, but it’s still just as valuable information. Thank you!!

[@seeshellgaming6883]

thank you very much. yeah the incubator just makes this process so much easier to understand.

[@katiea545]

This is definitely the best guide I’ve seen. I’m a beginner and she explains everything step-by-step without assuming I already know anything. Perfect, thank you!

[@purgehunter7481]

This is a perfect guide, the fact you took your time to do this for people is awsome 10/10. There is only 1 thing I'm sad about, not seeing them in action after all the time you put in to it. Keep up the good work

[@andrevieira8700]

As a more casual player, I never understood breeding and mutations. This was so useful. I understood the logic easily. You made it seem so effortless too. Thank you so much!

[@eclipsesmoonshine405]

I’ve been searching for videos to explain how mutations and breeding work. This is the second video I’ve found and it is so extremely detailed and with super helpful visuals. This is my favorite ARK video now.

[@seeshellgaming6883]

thank you very much for your support. I tried to show as much as possible and explain it as simply as i could. Thanks!

[@hastewolf4535]

The hardest part is killing all the babies with bad stats :(

[@danpats1]

HasteWolf yeah my wife doesn’t like that part, I’ve killed maybe 10000 babies at this point lol

[@xxCrimsonSpiritxx]

.-. This hit right on the feels

[@mikemdk2]

I find it quite easy. One time I was teaching a friend how to breed and showed him all the cute babies and while he was admiring them I proceeded to slaughter them all, I like dark humor.

[@christopherblake2588]

I showed my dad the game while I was breeding for stats, he’s never looked at me the same. 🥴🥴🥴
