Spino Saddle BPs

[Dalanna]

Hello, fellow Ark survivors. Lately I have been a bit puzzled. I am huge fan of Spinos in Ark (and overall) and focus my breeding and gameplay on them to great extent - I have been working on Spinos for a good year. Now for the actual question.

Just like anyone, I would like to get a good saddle blueprint for my favorite dino, and here is where the problems come in. I have seen Mastercraft and even Ascendant blueprints for all high end dinos except Spino. This particular BP is not in the Underwater Drop loot table, but I have heard rumors of Apprentice+ in red cave drops. I recall also looting a Ramshackle from a beacon.

I haven't so far found any confirmation that it could be in the fishing loot table despite having fished up a Carno saddle, which is also in the red cave drop loot table (like spino), but not in the underwater one (like spino).

Can anyone provide any insight or tips? Am I just extremely unlucky, or is this blueprint purposedly made so damn hard to acquire compared to the other high end carnivores (for god's sake, ascendant Giga saddles are easier to come by than a MC spino saddle)? Any idea if it can be acquired through fishing?

The official wiki has loot lists for beacons and deep sea loot crates:

In terms of fishing it just says 'saddles' can be obtained, not specifying which. So that could mean any, or it might just mean they contributer didn't stipulate which:

Don't know about cave loot though, I'm afraid.

I picked up an ascendant Spino saddle from the Carno Cave on the Island only a few days ago.

We've got ridiculous amount of high end BP's from fishing, but no Spino's yet. Taperja and Allo saddles we havent found a BP for anywhere

i've found a mastercraft spino saddle BP on a yellow or purple sky drop
