Knocking out level 110 Spino
I don't really have much experience with this, and I'd rather not waste the resources I have. If I could, I'd like to make good use of the 300+ narcotics I have. I'm on a +10 Tame server and would like to tame a level 110 Spino.

I've made the long neck rifle after farming the small smooth rocks for their precious metal. I have roughly 67 more ingots left for tranq darts. Would that be enough to knock down a level 110 spino though?

I'm also by myself, but I'm sure I can do it if I know what I'm dealing with. I've always managed to succeed with perserverence before, but at the cost of severe loss' sometimes.. any feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Take a few spare tranq arrows and a crossbow with you.
29 darts to knock it out.

Look up spino in the wiki. It will tell you how many darts it takes to KO a level 120. Take that many at least.

It should take ~29 tranq darts to KO it. If you also have a crossbow and tranq arrows, I'd bring those and use those as well.

You can use taming calculators if you want to know how much something will need/how long, etc: http://www.survive-ark.com/taming-calculator/

not sure the cost to make a tranq dart, so I can't answer your question.

but might want to try one of these.

With a spino, it's not just the amount of narcs it takes to knock it out, it's the amount it takes to keep it under too. Spinos wake up really, really quickly...when I tried to tame one in my solo game I had a full stack of narcs, and it still wasn't enough to keep it from waking up before the tame finished.

Granted having taming speed set higher will reduce the risk on that front, but it'd still be good to have plenty of narcotics by you to make sure it stays down for the count.

It all depends where you find it, if it's at a spot where you can shoot at it consistently without it hitting you. Either that or get it to attack something else before it breaks your armor.

Cook some prime meat if you think you won't be able to farm raw prime fast enough.

At 10x taming speed the calculator sais 29 darts or 41 crossbow shots (I believe spinos have headshot bonus so maybe less if you get headshots). Also 27 cooked prime and 231-302 nacotics to tame it at +52 lvls, even better with some raw prime.

Instal on your mobile phone an app called dododex. ..
