Holy thread necromancy!

Love how the first reply in this thread was a complete troll, but very few knew it, back then, lol.

Starve taming (BEFORE adding food to the dinos inventory) will not affect taming effectiveness, it will just ensure you don't lose any important materials used during taming (kibble) in case your tame gets killed. However, if you feed the dino and then the food runs out, that WILL affect effectiveness. So either put in the food from the start or wait until it loses enough food to be tamed in one go.

Increasing taming effectiveness during a tame is not possible. To get the highest effectiveness, always do full kibble tames.

Feed them stimulants, it excites them. Stimulants and Prime meat. Unless its and Herbavore. Then Stimulants and mejo

Use Kibbles for 99.9% effectiveness.

If you don't have Kibbles, use Prime Meat for carnovores or Vegetables for herbivores.

99.9% effectiveness is not possible on a 120
You will always lose some effectiveness unless your taming multiplier is at x50 or something

Tonight I just tamed a lvl 145 Argent and it tamed at 100%, gaining 72 levels as it was finally tamed. Kibble FTW!!

You do not and can not increase the taming effectiveness. The taming effectiveness is essentially nothing more then a pre-tamed level increase bonus based on what you use to tame said dino multiplied by it's base level.

Ultimately kibble will yield the highest results if you completely tame said dino using it's favorite kibble. After that it's reduced based on the "food source" used and decreases over the total time it takes to tame said dino.

This information is absolutely correct.

A few more tidbits... If a tames health is more than 20 points lower than it's maximum, it is considered to have taken damage, thus lowering the starting Tame Effectiveness. A dino will only recover it's full health when it is conscious. The amount of Narcs or Narcoberries used during taming has no effect on taming efficiency. Happy hunting and good luck !
