taming a trike

[Xeonic]

so the taming effectiveness keeps going down, is there a specifc berry to feed it for it to go back up?

[Osterberg501]

Taming effectiveness will always keep going down you need to keep giving it nacro berries or narcotics to keep it asleep while keeping it fed. Also if you just keep it knocked out till it gets to about 100 food then give it all the berries it's taming will jump super fast but for that to work feed it nothing till it's food is very low.

Try all the berry to have the best effectiveness at the begining (Works only at the first feed on each dino)

I know you can keep him uncouncious feed him with narcoberry (Not too much or the effectiveness will go down faster)

[Bonkeybee]

No, but I believe the Trike prefers the purple berry... whatever it was called. Don't hit it, and don't feed it meat, the effectiveness goes down no matter what.

Taming a trike ? the best berry (SPOILER): Mejoberry

[Zourin]

don't think you can do it with whatever you've got in your pocket. It'll take around 100 of both mejo berries and narcos.

Taming effectiveness goes down for each action you take while taming so using alot of narcos will lower it faster. keep the torp between 60-70%. This is why narcotics are better then berries since its a 20-50 torp range in 1 use vs 15torp from berries.

I believe that Azulberries are the favorite because when you give the trike all the berries it will eat them first

Narcotics nor Narco berries reduce effectiveness, this was confirmed some time ago in an old post, prob still around if you searched for it.

Neither narcos nor narcotics reduce the effectiveness at all. Narcotics are more effective than raw narcoberries, but either do just fine.
Using any berries will typically take the same amount of time, but mejoberries will result in better effectiveness and will require fewer of them than other berries.
The trike should consume mejoberries before consuming others. If there are no mejoberries, it will consume whatever berry is first in the inventory (except narcos and stims, of course).

Narcoberries also increase torpor by 7.5 per berry, not 15. Narcotics will always do 40 torp per narcotic.

I think in the year since he first posted, the OP may have sussed it out...

Although in the avoidance of doubt, the order of preferred foods for herbivores to keep the highest TE is always Kibble>Mejoberries>Vegetable Crops>Every other berry (excluding narco and stim berries of course>

Year old thread guys, these are the peeps who were first working out what we now know as common knowledge. It's like cave paintings!
