Friend told me that they need about 700 nberries. Not sure about the meat. I took a level 3 down with about 10 tranq arrows.

I tamed one with another person, I put a good 7 Narco arrows and he probably put around the same. Took about ~130 Narcotics and like 60 or 80 meat. Thats a rough sketch atleast. And it took about 1 and half to 3 hours Dont remember it all lol.

i think it took me 14arrows for lvl6 spino and (not completed yet) around 800-900 berries i put like 5 or 6 stacks of meat in him but he ate only 2 1/2 so far i think

I think it took a couple of hundred Narcotics and 15-20 arrows to take down? and a fair few stacks of meat (I was collecting as I was taming so I'm not sure exactly)

It totally depends on the level and spino torpor counts down faster than any dino :(.

Tamed a 60 Spino, took ~60 arrows to the face and approximately ~800 narcotics whilst being fed only prime meat. Was losing about 5 torpor per second.

I believe it took 3-4 hours to tame? Lost track of time.

About 30 Primes and 150 Narcotics minimum; for a level 40 (highest I've tamed), I needed around 55 Primes and 600 Narcotics.

EDIT: Sounds about right, I think it was 2 and half hours.

lvl 76 spino took about 50 tarrows and yes i was doing the 4 sec count, thing eats narcotics like a bronto est berries about 500, i gave raw meat as fillers and it had prime meat evertime it came time for it to eat so unsure about the number but i would have to guess about 30 prime, and the tame took about 2-3 hours and its lvl gain from tame would be 46lvl increase from lvl when tamed, then server updated, came back on still had all the stats and lvl boost after tame, tamed creature but lvl boost did not happen. sad day.

lvl 28, 20 arrows...1000 narcoberrys.. and 200 meat :)

Spinos burn through torpor.

The trick is to use berries instead of narcotics because they don't seem to reduce taming effectiveness, and since they raise the torpor slower, it gives you more time before they start burning through it again.

The downside is you need a TON of berries.

Not like a Rex what so ever.

I tried to tame a Spino once and the torpor drops like a sinking rock. The time it takes to tame it vs how much you have to pump it full of drugs isn't worth it.

I think the torpor drops to zero on a low level spino in under 10 mins, while a Rex would take over 30 mins giving you breathing time.
