This is easily one of the best Mutation videos I've ever seen. I had the basics down for mutations, was a little cloudy on how to get more once the male was capped but my highest mutation right now is only 5 for I was in no hurry. Lol I had also heard that breeding mutations had about a 7.5% chance. I have 11 breeding lines going with 20 Base females in each line, so every couple of days I'm getting 220 babies/eggs and for a while I was thinking the rate was more like 2.5%. I've watched lots of vids on the subject, some very helpful while others I'm not sure they knew what they were talking about let along be able to explain it to others. Thank you so much. So helpful to at least know the way the system is set up.
In an ocean of misinformation about Ark mechanics it's always good to see another facts based video from you. I had no idea the mother (creature with the lower stats) was slightly more likely to get the mutation. Guess there's always something to learn. PS- Love the little carnos.
@@TiiaAurora I keep trying explain that mutations and the counter aren't related but no one believes me :) I always explain it as permanent stat changes and when the baby is made the parents stats roll and decide which one passes down than if they mutate
Great explanation. Fits what I've seen too in breeding in ARK I've noticed if you get a stat to a goal than try and mutate another stat it is much harder to get the stats together into a baby. Assuming 2 rng rolls additional on top of the other rng involved in breeding so I've moved back to having clean females and starting a free male line with desired mutations than breeding them together to get the stats together.
Thank you so much for these videos. I love the level of organization and thoroughness you provide! I've been sporadically playing ark single player since it came out as a beta, but I never truly understood breeding until I ran across your content! I think I may finally beat the island after almost 10 years with my mutant army of Theries 😂.
Thank you for your excellent breeding guides. I can't tell you the number of times that I've shared it with people having questions about breeding, level caps, mutations, etc. Each time I try to recall what you've said in your videos and directed them to watch them all on your youtube channel. I am about to start my own breeding on a server with a friends. I have several dinos that I want to breed up with different focus on stats. I know that it will be a long process of chance to get where I'd like to get each of them. But I do have some questions. In previous videos, you mention that you have your F0 females. How often do you swap out the females for the breeding process with something like the "new" F0 or F1 females, if ever? Do you wait until you have the males near or at the limit in the stat before you merge the stats together on the females? Do you create new females every 10, 20, 50, 100 points for the male? If I want like 100 or 200 points in health and melee damage on a dino, do I combine those stats on a female to use to make the other dinos with those two stats together, health and melee damage, before I start making a large set of them for a boss fight or my own use?
I just watched the Ultimate Breeding Guide again. You answered by question there. You keep the basic unmutated females until the whole process is complete and swap out the males that have the mutations in the stats that you're progressing to continue the mutation process. And for my other questions, I see that you mentioned it in another video, where at the end of the process, I merge them on to a single female to breed up a full set of dinos with those combined stats. If I'm in error, please let me know. It's a very long process, and I don't want to make a mistake.
When stacking mutation your interested in mutating one specific stat at a time. I believe this is correct, if not please let me know where I am incorrect. Given that a stat has been chosen and the first mutation has occurred and the number of mutations on the mother's side is 0/20 and the father's is 1/20 and if there are seven possible stats that could receive a mutation, then the possibility of each subsequent mutation of the desired stat would be 4.07% divided by 7, or 0.58% chance. Is my thinking on this correct? This would mean that to get the second mutation of the selected stat, most likely one is going to have to go through over 200 babies/eggs ? Does your experience also indicate this? or do mutations happen more than or less than I am anticipating?
I’m no expert but I believe this is roughly correct I have been mutating carcharadontosaurus’s and have gone through the same amount of eggs each mutation
If you get a mutation on a stat that is not for that breeding line (ex. health mutation when breeding your melee line), do you just scrap the baby as if it didn't have the mutation?
@@TiiaAurora another question for you: For the F0 females, since the level doesn't really matter, can we use clones? For instance, could I tame a level 12 creature and clone it several times, and use those for my breeding females?
Just to confirm - you keep upgrading the mutated male and you keep breeding it with the unmutated females? Eventually your stats bypass the females to such a degree that in order to get a useful mutation you need A) Dino to get traits from Paternal + B) accept stats from your male + C) hope for a mutation IN the stats you want? How am I seeing dinos with 100's of mutations out there when my % are so incredibly low for me to hit ABCD on my requirement?
Okay. Mutations for dummies with no time: get you two high level Dino’s with stats that are above average. If you can go ahead and use mutagen on the dad early on for head-start. Breed them until you have a ton of females you will need them most important part. The babies will pop out with mixed stats try and get a male and female with the best stats from both parents. When you get perfect stat parents Recreate the “perfect” stat female by either breeding or cloning but you need between 50-100 female breeders if you want it to go fast. You will get mutations on babies stats. Keep male babies with perfect stat plus mutations that you like. Try to stack mutations and discard babies with mutations other than the one you want. Basically stack all melee mutations or all Stam mutations. Simple. Repeat stacking mutations until you get 20/20 on dad side then stack the rest on mom side. Simple. Follow guide if you want to know more but this is it really. Edit; should be obvious but you are dummies so when you get a mutated male with the stat you like you have to replace the breeder male with the mutated male and do that everytime in order for each mutation to pass down family line. Duh
The comment was for the people who don’t want to watch vids not criticizing you or anything like that. Also. I thought you stack mutations on female after you get the 20/20 with male due to it now allowing you to mutate male further. I thought When you get the mutation on female it just transfer to male side anyway…..
@@TiiaAurora also my explanation wasn’t wrong and if I’m correct it’s not wrong at all. Partially wrong at best which I am okay with lmao. We are all here to learn relax
@@bonittoderrick you continue to stack mutations on the male no matter what. You can't stack mutations when both parents have mutations already. That way you only multiply the counter and cap both parents.
hi, i breed pair of shadowmanes, both 210lvl and got child with 230lvl with no mutations. i see this first time, didn't found any info. how this child got 20lvls ? is it a glitch?
Nice one Tiia. Informative, factually correct and interestingly edited. I wish more ark youtubers put as much effort into their videos as you do!
Much appreciated!

She doesn't get the mutation but she triggers it. It's kinda confusing since the counter and the mutation itself aren't connected.

@@tthompson5707 yea its kinda a weird concept. other than going up together both are not connected.
I just started this game. I really enjoyed the detail of your dino breeding series. Thank you very much.
Thank you!

Thats why I only do line breeding on one male. I don't need more RNG than mutations already are :D

My god this is such an underated channel
you're too kind!

I love your videos. Thank you. 💙💙💙

Amazing video
Thanks!
I love your videos in ark thank you very much thank you thank you thank you thank you
Glad you like them!
So the levels of the tames don't need to be raised or match the mate for mutations?
Exactly :)
@@TiiaAurora thank you so much the other 2 videos I watched made it seem like the need to be same levels this will take so much less time now.
@@stephenhobbs5883 Yea some people go for the same level. I usually cant be bothered :D
If you get a mutation on a stat that is not for that breeding line (ex. health mutation when breeding your melee line), do you just scrap the baby as if it didn't have the mutation?
Those babies will be turned into prime meat jerky :D

@@dgoalie92 clones work just fine
@@TiiaAurora Thanks! I appreciate the quick responses. You've been very helpful.
Then on top of it stacks mutation and gets confusing like I need help

How am I seeing dinos with 100's of mutations out there when my % are so incredibly low for me to hit ABCD on my requirement?
Yes. It's a lot of RNG involved. On official people have 400 females to breed with to get the guaranteed mutation.
One question,how do you know what stat you got an mutation on?
You compare the baby stats with the parent stats. thats why you never level or imprint your breeders
hi again, i got 1 mutation on hp, if i will get another mutation, it will go only on hp, or can be random - like on meelee or stamina?
It can be totally random. But you want to keep the ones that only happen on HP preferably
@@TiiaAurora but it means i can build up on both, i can make and melee and hp together. thanks :)

Also your explanation is wrong. You don't stack mutations on the female ever.
