You need to starve them before you feed them. The taming bar goes up much quicker if they're low on hunger, and each creature has a specific type of berry that is more effective for taming that species. You'll just need a lot more narcoberries/narcotics so they stay unconscious long enough to almost starve ( I suggest investing in narcotics, they take five narcoberries and a rotten flesh but do not spoil ) The taming system could use some tweaking, I know for a fact it takes at least a couple hours RL time to tame the larger and more powerful mounts |

A couple hours isn't too bad as long as it is worth a couple hours of work. |

Its worth it for trolls. They fully comprehend that stupid proto-elephant took you a good 45 minutes to tame. And so they kill it and steal your stuff. That and I'm just bad at Ark. Its hard ![]() But sooooooooooooo epic. |

Yeah that part is dumb, I'm just saying that for a number of things in games that is perfectly reasonable. I've spent longer having a beetle fornicate with a failed clone of a godcat and been perfectly satisfied with the results. |

From what I've heard, the Brontosaurus takes between 3 and 4 hours to tame. That's just insane. The thing is eventually you just run out of narcoberries/narcotics and you can't do anything about it because if you leave too long, something will come along and kill your sleeping beauty or it will wake up and all your progress will be erased. But yah it takes A LOT to tame anything. I spent about 45 minutes on a dilo and only got it halfway before I ran out of narcoberries and it woke up while I was looking for more, and was standing next to a trike today for an hour trying to keep it asleep and it was just not working. AFAIK you are definitely not supposed to lone wolf this game. Personally my goal pet is a spider because I like giant monsters that don't look like they could exist. ![]() (For anyone curious, the Trike's favorite berry is the purple one and IIRC, the Para's is the red one) |

Well, a couple of things. Starving the dino isn't very helpful. They eat whenever their hunger drops by 50 below the max, and the bar decreases by a constant rate. Basically, if you starve them, sure, they'll keep eating. But the rapid eating is cancelled out by the time you spend waiting for them to get hungry. As for narcotics, it's not so simple. There's this thing called taming effectiveness. The higher it is, the faster your beastie will train. The method you use to KO is the initail determinor of how high it is. Tranq arrows are the best, followed by slingshot headshots who are in turn followed by repeated punches. Now, whether you use narcotics or narcoberries also influences the taming effectiveness. Carnivores don't eat berries, so if you feed them narcoberries, the taming effectiveness will drop. In their case, use narcotics. With herbivores, it's the opposite. You want to feed them the berries. That's all I got to say for now. |

So guys, I love this game. If you are having trouble with other players in a PvP server, you can always try a PvE Server. Other players can't kill you, you (already tamed) mounts, and can't grief your stuff. They can steal your items out of chests, but as long as they are in a safe in a locked house, you're good. The only down side is that most of these are not official servers, so you can't take your character to any other server except other unofficial servers, but that's not much of a problem for me. If you guys want, the server I play on is PvE and Usually has a lot of free space. The server is pretty reliable. It's calleg 24/7 PvE Inflicted.org. We could start up a genome village. |

Indeed. MH is a good example of this fact, too. Except as often as not, you spend hours trying to get a rare part not because the monster that drops it is even necessarily difficult, but because the RNG and Desire Sensor hate you with a passion. At least in ARK, I assume, it's just a matter of difficulty against you and not a sadistic god of luck. |

1. I'll give you that, but the taming effectiveness is actually a little higher when you starve them from what I've found. 2. The Narcoberries/narcotics do not affect taming effectiveness from what I've seen. It doesn't matter which you feed herbivores though I haven't tried for any carnivores yet so I can't vouch for them but from what I've read it doesn't appear to matter for them either. It's the torpidity bar that drops taming effectiveness. |

That's what I get for not testing it myself. And, what do you mean by "It's the torpidity bar that drops taming effectiveness"? Do you mean it's best to keep it high, or low? Anyway, DM, I couldn't find the server. How about we use an official one? I've been playing a lot on server 356 I believe. It pretty much always has room, and there's at least one spot pretty devoid of people, namely where I live. In other news, I finally tamed a Stegosaurus (Who is now known as Stan). It took me 2 frickin hours of non-stop berry collecting! Like, really game?! |

From what I understand, you want to keep that as high as you can and keep it high, ensuring that the bar never drops below a certain level within reason. I haven't personally tested this, but as I have understood it from some of the comments in reddit and steam, as the torpidity drops so does the taming effectiveness. @DM: I'd love to join a server and check it out though my internet connection is really bad so I make no promises.... |

Actually I believe taming effectiveness drops every time they eat. It drops less if they eat their favorite food. And yah DM I'd love a Genome tribe. not sure when I'll be playing next but I'll go on that server next time. |

So, uhhh... How many of you have killed a T.rex so far. 'Cause with a bit of help from Stan the Stegosaurus, it wasn't that hard. Basically, what I'm saying is, you guys need to get a Stego. Stegosaurus is a BEAST! |
