The New Taming Guide YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW in ARK Survival Evolved

[@The1Helleri]

A good basic overview for orienting the new player. I do have some time and effort optimization centric notes for those interested: Narcotic only does slightly more base torpor than the equivalent amount of berries to make it (40 per 1 narcotic instead of 37.5 per 5 narcoberries). Every 3 narcotic effectively saves you 1 narcoberry. Or every 4 narcotics saves you 5 narcoberries. That's important to know because the material savings is low for normal amounts used per average tame (say 60-140). They're needed for tranq arrows and darts of course. But until a player gets to the level of having a chemistry bench the main benefit of making narcoberries into narcotic isn't the savings on mats vs. effectiveness. It's that it doesn't expire. Now if a player is spot taming (no prep; see it tame it kind of thing) making narcotic to use for keeping a tame knocked in most cases is wasted effort. You only need to make enough for arrows or darts to down the creature. Spending that extra time to rot the meat and make the narcotic (especially if you already have enough tranq arrows and darts) isn't typically worth it. When that time could be better spent building temporary infrastructure ( like spike walls) to protect the creature while it's taming. But if one is determined to make a lot more narcotic than they actually need. A good tip would be that you can 'split all' on stacks of raw so that every single unit that was in the stack has the same expiration time. This means you'll get say 40 spoiled meat after just a few minutes, Instead of waiting a few hours to half rot a few stacks left in a box or something. While Bio Toxin does do 80 base torpor. That's well out of reach for most new players. Also it expires. Most people won't be using it most of the time. It's worth using if you've easy and safe access to it. But it's just good to add that one should have the more realistic expectation that most of the time they'll be working with narcoberries and related products thereof. Same goes for shocking tranqs, prods, harpoon darts etc. The Magnifying glass is waste of engram points given that dododex exists and most people can count. Those engram points are better spent on fishing rod (which actually costs one less engram point than a magnifying glass). Not only in combination with a Chair or Pelagornis can you fish for Blue Prints. But dragging Honey to a rod as it's ammo (holds 1 per rod at any given time) will stop the expiration timer on the honey until it is removed again. With kibble...Just about the only kibble worth having is extraordinary. Even if you don't have a deinonychus farm or bee hives, it's so easy to collect the ingredients from the wild that virtually every other kibble is a waste of time (the thing about higher tier kibble substituting lower tier, works for special care requests on raising babies as well). But something very important to know here is that eggs and kibble only transfer once. That means if you acquired an egg or some kibble on a server. It can only be moved to another server one time (if someone gives you some, assume it can only be used on the server you're on, even if they tell you otherwise. This will save a lot of headache).

[@Raasclark]

Absolutely incredibly detailed addition to this. Thank you for taking the time to write it all. Deserved of a pin!

[@The1Helleri]

@@Raasclark No problem. But even doing a little write up like that on a subordinate subject to the larger one it comes out as primer, lol. I didn't even (on the subject of saving time and effort) mention starve taming, the how and why of it. Getting a new player from know-nothing to competent tamer could be a 10 part series (at least). It's good that you gave that prompt at the end to fill in any gaps or more detailed info in the description. I imagine it must not have been easy to choose a scope of coverage in order to provide clear and concise information with such a broad subject. I've tried making videos for ARK. I can't even. Only ever gotten to the recording stage with most attempts. My OBS remuxes end up being 1-3 hours long and I can't bring myself to cut any of it. I end up deleting files for hardrive space eventually, lol. Brevity is not a strong suit of mine.

[@Raasclark]

@@The1Helleri Its certainly a challenge to ask where to start, especially when your audience could be at any range of experience! I've learnt to just run with it and be as honest as you can mate. Whilst I am experienced in a sense, I still find out things 4 years on. In ARK especially theres always someone who knows something you may not.

[@The1Helleri]

@@Raasclark Same here I have maybe 3k hours split between two accounts And I still learn new things all the time. I suppose none of them are as revelatory as they used to be. More like "hmm...didn't know that." But that one can still be learning so far in...That's remarkable in-and-of itself. More recently it's been that I stumble upon questions no one seems to know the answer to and requires testing to figure out. Or I find strategies of play that are really effective but no one seems to be doing them. But all of that is merely within my sphere of experience which is solely PvP Official. I imagine if/when I branch out from that it will feel like a new game all over again.

[@lapislazerz861]

Well I wouldn’t call the magnifying glass a complete waste of engrams as it rlly helps when trying to get a reaper because you can check if the reaper is at the below 2k hp threshold without accidentally killing it

[@jonathanmm9293]

That giga attack pretty much sums up all my taming efforts.

[@Raasclark]

Glad someone related 🤣

[@jonathanmm9293]

Rage quit,then rinse and repeat 😂keep up the good work dude.👍

[@nicholascastles]

Whoa. As a vet this is pretty awesome. Thanks for the advice brother!

[@Raasclark]

As a vet who dips into bob moments now and then myself, I fully appreciate the time you took to reply dude!

[@icecoldeh544]

Narcoberry are the best form of narcotics for tames with a fast wake up time. This is because narcoberrys have the SLOWEST GAIN PER SECOND FOR TOPOR allowing you to leave the the tame or not have to worry about the tame waking up for much much longer. I believe it is actually 2x longer.. 100 berries = 7500 topor

[@felix.s28]

Taming is the biggest part about ark yet it is so long, i hate having to stand there over an hour, it's just boring and I bet most of the player base can agree is the most boring thing about ark

[@razhok9725]

And thats why that taming speed gets increased

[@jjferrin4]

How do you check the torpidety like all those green stats??

[@elementalzz5328]

5:38 that jump doe 😂

This feature would have been useful when i played ark 2 years ago

[@superdinoholt2956]

Help when o hover over the taming tracker it disappears until I look away why? I’m on console to

[@RegionYT]

I already knew all this but it was still a very well put together video, nice job 👍

[@Raasclark]

Thanks mate 👍

[@HenryLee-l9g]

When I put food in my Dino’s inventory the taming bar won’t move won’t do I do

[@samphillips598]

I pressed A on one of the names within the hud and the name nd tracker disappeared so does anyone know what to do

[@marcellusjohnson510]

Yeah same

[@mmoneyw]

Yea I came so see how to find that individual tame that disappeared I want to put it back on my tracker

[@allfather55]

Is captain jack sparrow talking?

[@cuper3000z]

Hey man can you do me a fav can you test the numbers when a turrets hit the doe in ball form cuz i think they take %75 reduced dam so could they be new sokers

[@Raasclark]

I'll note to have a look pal!

[@georgekohuth1540]

If I hover over the info while taming a dino from a distance I can't see the ifnomation. Why is this. How can I fix it

[@bhavyamehta8043]

Plz can I get answer of this: I wanted to tame a trike so I went in front of it and started damaging it with a bow and stone arrow, trike died but didn't got unconscious. What to do if it doesn't get unconscious and dies directly It was about lvl 4 with 375 hp

[@benjamindkos]

You have to use the other arrows i think they are called trank arrows or a slingshot the stone arrows do not do topor damage just health damahe

[@nah3518]

good information. time to tame my first max lvl

[@GrumpFish]

Know this is a year old but have a question. The tribe in in, private hosted server, has everyone as admins, no admin logging, and everything is tribe owned. I had 3 argys earlier loaded with gear and mats just up and vanish from the game. No disconnect, no removal from tribe, no flee, nothing. I have been flying around for the last 2 hours trying to find them with no luck. No tracker on them nor dino tracking mod. Any advice on how to find them or just say heck with it and move on?

[@SefiroUltima]

should submit that horse jump for the guinnes record

[@ForcedUkulele]

Another nice vid as always

[@whitecreamyranch3570]

That is so sick, it’s sad even just quality of life things are so difficult to get. But very good mechanic

[@joelkp1185]

How did that unicorn survive that, although I suppose you were in creative

[@foxyfighterprochampion8610]

I don't know why but I give the food but the taming doesn't even go up

[@HenryLee-l9g]

Same bro

[@stremrfortnite1572]

Do we have mod in ps5

[@Raasclark]

I've yet to officially play a PS5 yet mate. However I'm working through all the info I have about the next gen versions as we speak

[@maxhayesx]

does this still work?

[@peabo7894]

Whenever I feed my dinos meat tho they don’t eat it even if they are a carnivore

[@spdutahraptor777]

not gonna lie, i was expecting a true tips and tricks video.... but i guess not everyone knows how to tame, so, that's alright

[@Iarry_16]

Nice feature but doesn't affect me when I can clone any dino lol

0:18 You Crazy Black dude!!

[@PasqualItizzz]

As gender is a social construct, do I need to set "patriarchy = true" in the ini files for the taming screen to work?

[@spdutahraptor777]

not necessary.... just tame yourself a a griffin.... they are gender neutral

Anyone else wonder why your pro freind tell you to let the food bar go down

[@Raasclark]

As per the description and pinned comment mate, head to dodorex for an understanding on food vs consumption vs taming.

[@MrShroomed]

So if your dino gets bumped on accident by another dino or yourself, you don't waste kibble on a ruined tame, you let it wake up and knock it out again.

[@hetlrz4sken]

Longshot -_-

Yup! Lol the admin code is called oneshot. Been saying it for years!
