Hey I’m new. Could I breed the daughter with the original tame and continue from those offsprings? I did it and food went down but stamina and melee went up.

Is there a way I can find out the original stats from there using math?

[@brandonmercer6552]

@Syntac Hey Syntac, I have a few questions if you have time to answer. I'm sure you are busy so if you don't have time don't worry about it. If you have already answered these questions before please ignore them as I must have overlooked them and I apologize ahead of time. I've watched your video a few times now and I've reviewed the other articles I've found that have been posted regarding breeding. 1. If I have a Male Dino with one melee mutation upgrade +1 (2 melee points) from breeding on the Paternal side that then breeds with his unmuated/base female companions, that then spawns a Female Dino with +2 melee upgrade(4 melee points) on the Paternal side, could I then breed the +1 melee male with the +2 melee female to create +2 melee babies without any negative side effects? I had hoped that I could combine the two together to achieve the +2 melee on a new male and then breed the new +2 melee male with the unmutated females to continue the normal breeding process. 2. I understand that you can choose to breed only melee with one male and then only health with another male. Is there any downside to mutating some into health and some into melee on one male through breeding instead of focusing on one or the other? Or does it just make tracking the mutations much easier if you keep melee on one male and health on another? 3. To continue mutating a dino, you basically have to keep starting new breeding lines sort to speak and then once you have a new "max 20/20" male, you breed until you have a max 20/20 female who then will breed with another 20/20 male in order to go above the 20/20 limit to 40/20 for example. New line + Breed with your female squad to mutate on up. #1 20/20 Male Breeds with a different line of 20/20 Female to create 40/20 Male. #2 40/20 Male then breeds with another new line of 20/20 Female to boost that number to 60/20. Is this correct? And I assume you would just keep BASE/non-mutated males in reserve to mate with your female squad. 4. I believe you went over this but I wanted to make sure I understood correctly. Once a baby is born with a mutation, you 100% want the mutated baby to be a male, not a female so that you can breed with the unmutated females, great. Does the mutation have to strictly come from the Male/Father side or can the mutation come from the Female/Mother side? I thought all of mutations needed to come from the fathers side so that when you breed with a base/unmutated female, the mutations could continue as the female is 0/20. I hope that made sense...as I'm writing it I'm questioning and possibly confusing myself. I may be looking too much into this. 5. Do the rules of "max level" apply to unofficial/private servers? I've seen a few people posting about how they have level 2000+ Dinos on a private/unofficial server, and even after a restart their dinos are still present. Maybe they are lucky? I 100% would not want my bred dino to be deleted. I understand that on official the level cap of 450 will apply and wipe any dino over that level but I wasn't sure about unofficial/private.

10:50 You forgot one thing: when you get a desired 2nd mutation on a female you want it to mate with an unmutated male until you get a male baby with the mutation. this way you can keep it and keep stacking 2 or more desired stats on varius male dinos. eg.: one male with each x/20 stats in melee, hp, stamina, respectively.

@@jaheart7370 if that makes sense

[@nikhilschmelzle5654]

@@fishskategaming OK let's say you get a Hp mutation on a male. And now you get a disired dmg mutation on a female or vise versa. You want to keep both. Basically you can go 20/20 on the dmg mut. and 20/20 on the HP mut. But you need to do it with 2 different Dinos. Bacause if one Dino has 17 in Hp and 3 in dmg and later you combine the stats by mating with a 13 dmg 7 HP most you will get is a 17hp/13 dmg. But you want 20/20. So keep the mutation of the extra stats in a second Dino or baby which you get on your way anyways. Convert that second Dino into male, by mating, so later on its easier to mate with all the females.

This is even better than the ultimate breeding guide you made There were a few things that even i (a pretty long time ARK player) didnt know Id say that most ark players (not those who know everything bout the game) should watch this vid Ill share this with all my friends who play ARK (only 1)

[@samsunputih5608]

at least you have a fiend who play ark i dont even have 1

[@dorians2138]

For years i didnt have a single friend who would play anything with me (i have friends, they just dont play anything that i play) Just 2 months ago 1 of my friends started playing ARK and we started playing together If i found someone i believe you'll find too

13:30 I think you can also use the Super Spyglass Mod to see how many points your creature got.

[@GeorgeMonet]

The Soulball mod also shows the mutations. As does the Awesome Spyglass mod.

[@dielaberbrudergaming6288]

it does?Sry, the mod confuses me a bit, or atleast what it shows.

Getting mutations is very time consuming, so if you do get a female with the mutation you can just breed breed it with the original male until your new mutated female has has a male offspring with the mutation

[@supastu6753]

My man! This was my question as well. Thank you.

[@nastyfoster9318]

I play official and this is not how you breed a mutation on both sides of the parents fucks up the stats you want a good male stud with lots of low level clone females and if you get a mutation make that the new stud ect

[@wintertriggersme6304]

NASTY FOSTER It doesn’t fuck up the stats, it stays the same. Breeding with low levels just decreases the level and removes points lol

[@imnotshane9467]

Question, do the original female/male need to be the same lvl? Or is it fine of ones like a 225 and other a 217

[@hibernalia6868]

I think you can breed them to get the same level in both but with different genders (That's what I do at least) and then you start breeding for mutations once you have the same stats/level parents (For easier way of spotting mutations)

[@imchillyb]

I love your videos. I'm grateful for your channel Syntac. Thank you for producing such amazing content. Your Let's Play videos and tutorials are helpful, poignant, and always welcome. Love ya mate!

[@Fadedagent64]

i actually learned a lot from this. gonna try to look out for their stats more often and changes in them after breeding. it does make more sense the more you think about. its mainly boiled down to finding good, high-stat dinos and breeding them to create a change in their baby's stats to make more babies to create the perfect dino of your liking.

[@bowzee1502]

This is the game that no matter how much u play it ull never do everything u could have done

[@Jason-mg2vj]

So, if I’m understanding this right; You acquire two wild Dino’s, male and female. Breed them till you get a male and female, then you breed the tame born Dino’s a hundred times till you get a mutation, and then you bread the mutated Dino?

[@ASKaaron32]

in a nutshell yes. but i would add to the first sentence, "you acquire two wild dino's with different good stats,..."

[@glenniseler7522]

@@ASKaaron32 so do those have to be the same level or did all of his in the video just happen to be

[@ToxicTiger_Tx4]

@@glenniseler7522 you find 2 dinos. (one with better health and one with good strength) and since the one with the strength has bad health, and the one with the good health has bad strength, you will have to bread them until you get a male and a female with both the good strength and the good health and basically the same good stats. And you do that just so you dont get a baby that has good health from the mother but also bad strength from the mother and not from the father. Just bread them until you find 2 female and male that have same stats that are good, then bread them so that every baby has the same stats as both untill you get mutation on the stat you want. I can explain more if you want

ASB is an amazing tool that I always use when breeding. And breeding is really where I take my fun in Ark :) This was a nice coverage of mutations which is a tricky subject.

[@AmedeoSpeziale]

I'm gonna be completely real with you, I had to rewatch this video a couple times to understand certain points and at some point I eventually started taking notes lmfao. But now I understand the concept and know how to do it, ty for this video. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@purelyevolvedgaming8066]

Very good and detailed video! I've been playing Ark for a while and never had to do the breeding because I had tribemates that did it instead. Now I am doing it for the first time and I never realized how in depth the breeding and mutation process is on Ark. Thank you for this guide!

im playing ark with 2 friends on almost official settings (little bit easier) and we want to do the broodmother soon (alpha). think it might help with a few mutated megatheriums :D thanks for this tutorial man, 15 minutes and no unneccesary information and time waste. helps a lot :)

[@sirsilco]

After watching this over and over I think I get the rhythm. Allos are so sick in ark. A mutated pack boosted army lead by a Yuti seems like it would be immense.

[@3Romanaka]

For side note wasnt in video If you want to increase mutation % make mutation counter negative, to do so you just need to breed like 3bil and after its goes negative Negative mutation is lower than 20 mut so more change to get mut

[@mechavos4066]

does negative mutation increase with breeding and becomes positive?

[@3Romanaka]

@@mechavos4066 Yes it does but if you breed 2 negativ mut dinos muation can go pozitiv If you got negative mut breed with vlean one

Recommendation: Pay attention in the stacking mutations part. If that wasn't obvious enough.

10:49 - "we also have another allo here, this one has 20 health mutations stacked." How do you get a 20 Health Stack Matrilineal, when you are only swapping out the Perfect M with 20 Melee Mutations? What am I missing here?
