Highest Level Dino on your server? (Official Only)

[tyrant tommy]

Greetings fellow survivors!

I have been doing a lot of theorycrafting regarding breeding of dino's and there seems to be ALOT of misinformation on various websites. Contradicting theories and people believing in completely different absolutes regarding how breeding works, are common place at this point.

As a quick health check on how this is all working out for everybody, I am curious what your highest level bred dino has been, what the highest level dino you have seen is and what the highest level you think is possible.

I have bred a 184 (just started recently). I have seen dinos in the low 200's and I think there is probably a level cap around 250-280.

Thanks!

Tommy

I have a 155 bred direwolf, he is 175 atm. He chews through anything in his way and has taken out alpha raptors. My mate and I were given him by the nieghbours who bred him from a pup. Its actually a huge dps jump from low level... we use him to smash everything Carnos are taken out easy as well... I love my Bolto

His starting age was 150

His parents where both in thier 170s i think... He is basically Cujo... havent tried attacking a Trex... we are both low levels... will let you know how powerfull he gets. ATM he is a killing machine, if we need meat or hide we just take him for a walk along the beach... lol

Due to randomness the highest stat that can reasonably be found is 38 points. This bread into all 6 stats results in a 228 baby +59 makes a 287 theoretical max.

Beyond 38 points gets into 1:million or greater odds.

Rex wise it is technically possible to get a lvl 1020 this would require 6 parents with a 1:24137569000000 chance

Yeah, it's pretty hard to get a higher level dino as it very RNG and time consuming to first tame the dinos with each of the high stats you need and then you need to breed them to the point where you'll get a male and female with all of the highest possible stats from each dino.

I know I'm Necroing an Old thread, but, Ryker, I'm curious, Where did you get the chart at the bottom of your last post?

There's a Steam guide that has that info for each creature. Matter of fact, I think Ryker made it.

EDIT: Well, the guide that came from appears to no longer exist. You can use https://github.com/cadon/ARKStatsExtractor (it's long since been updated and is quite a bit easier to use and has a lot more bells and whistles) to check your exact creature stats to chart for breeding if you wish. It does still occasionally run into odd things it can't calculate (I have a pair of Plesiosaurs it has NEVER been able to do exactly, but yet it can calculate all new ones fine at the time of taming), but 99% of all cases, it will find your stats no problems.

Yes, the Ark Smart Breeding / Stats Extractor (same thing) is THE tool for breeding. The whole "this parent was 170 ish, that one was bla ish, this dinos health is 7280.5, here 7981.8" is just too much speculation to know what will happen. Use the tool, extract the levels and you know what's going on. It also let's you play with stats, meaning you can test stuf, see what stats dino x with this many wild and that many tamed levelups would have. It now even contains a breeding plan feature which proposes which parents to breed to maximize a set of desired stats. Really great stuf.

The highest I've got is 41 food levels on a Castorides, btw. It was an level 180 admin spawn though (meaning 120 spawn and dotame). That's 10200 food, for comparison...

About probabilities and all that: The probability for a dino to have 40 levels in one stat is way more complicated than just "roll 40 ones on a 7 sided dice". That would be 40 levels in e.g. health, which is not as probable as 40 levels in whatever stat. What you would have to do is divide all possible outcomes for 178 dice rolls and divide those by the number of possible dice rolls where one roll occurs at least 40 times. That is a bigger probability than "have exactly 40 levels in exactly that stat". So as long as nobody starts throwing some rather serious combinatoric formulas arround, with proper explanation of the model he uses, and why that should be correct... Well, then I am am inclined to not believe in those probabilities. That is rather more complicated than what I would expect to be covered by high scool level math. We did stuf like that in a college lecture on combinatorics in germany, intended for math and IT students, mostly.

I mean yeah, the basis should be a simple urn model. 7 different balls representing the stats, with putting back the balls, and without caring for the order. Then you chose 178 times, and count how often each ball was chosen. For exactly 40 levels in one stat, you need to chose that stat 40 times, and the others 178-40 times. The probability for that is (I think), (1/7)^40*(6/7)^138. That would be 9*10^-44, which is insanely low. But for at least 40 you would need to add the probability for 41 stats in that level, 42 and so on. Which should be the same as (1/7)^40*1^138: about 1.6*10^-34 - so it is about one billion times more probable of you accept 40 or higher instead of just 40! If we don't care about the stat we need to multiply this by 7, for the seven stats.

Then again, the average level is 178/7, so about 25. The probability for a dino to have leveled up at least 25 times in health is (1/7)^25 by my formula, which is about 7*10^-22. That is not much. Way too improbable actually. If we don't care about the particular stat, according to my model above, we would multiply that by 7, which is more probable, but far away from the actual probability: 1. Meaning a Level 178 dino will have at least one stat which is at least level 25 or higher. Simply because the levels need to go somewhere. If it has 24 levels in 7 stats, then only 168 levelups have been applied, so we're stil 10 short.

This means that my model is crap. It is plain wrong. It probably does not take into account that levels have to go somewhere. So I'd have to use a model which does. No clue what model would fit that (I never particularly liked combinatorics...). But maybe (if nothing else) this shows that calculating these probabilities is not so trivial, and if someone just posts some numbers, it is quite probable that those numbers are wrong. Just throw some probability arround and I daresay you got similar chances of beeing right. ;)

My highest level pteranodon atm is 288, it hatched at 237 and has a max level of 298 given the 61 levels you can assign. I have the potential for 242 pteranodon babies given some new stats I am attempting to breed in currently. A 242 baby therefore has the potential to max level at level 303. I'm pretty excited for it but still a bunch of work to get there. :D

I also have argents I'm working on and the stat pool I have will allow them to hit 237 at hatch but I only just started so HEAPS of work to put in there.

The 38 points and +59 levels is relatively old though. Now it's reasonable to find 42 points for stats and it's now +61 levels. So max can certainly exceed 300 on official now. :D

highest dino i ever got was a lvl 410 raptor after months of non stop breeding raptors (slowly merging the best stats out 30 or so lvl 120 perfect tames). Sadly it died a miserable death to a gigano XD.

Wow what server was that? What level were they hatching at (was 410 their max level)?

[jey123456]

was on official 49. It was lvl 410 on hatching. Before that my highest was 375. but now im stuck with a lvl 170ish since i cba to restart from scratch and all my eggs were destroyed by the gigano raid and so were all the raptors worth mentioning.

How many points in each stat is that?? :O

[jey123456]

it was a while ago so i dont remember the specifics. but it had stupidly high oxy and food points combined with a pretty epic hp and stam. i loved that raptor xD. Used to be able to sprint from one side of the map to the other without running out of stam nor fear alpha carnos.

I wish i had screenshotted him at the time but i didnt expect him to be the last of his family lol.
