Kibble is the best taming food in ARK: Survival Ascended \u2014 feeding a creature its preferred kibble tames it faster and with much higher taming effectiveness<\/strong>, which means more bonus levels on the finished tame. ASA uses a clean, tiered kibble system based on egg size. This guide explains the tiers, how to craft each one, which creatures want which tier, and how to keep kibble in steady supply.<\/p>\n

How the kibble system works<\/h2>\n

Instead of a unique kibble per creature, ASA groups kibble into tiers<\/strong> determined by the size of the egg<\/strong> used to make it. Bigger, rarer eggs make higher-tier kibble, and higher-tier creatures want higher-tier kibble for the best tame. Knowing the tiers is most of the battle.<\/p>\n

How to craft kibble<\/h2>\n

Each kibble recipe combines an egg of the correct size with supporting ingredients \u2014 typically a fibre, a crop or berry, water, and a meat or jerky<\/strong> depending on the tier \u2014 cooked in a Cooking Pot<\/strong> (or much faster in an Industrial Cooker<\/strong>). Once you have an industrial cooker with piped water, you can batch-produce kibble in bulk, which is how serious tamers always have the right kibble ready.<\/p>\n

Farming eggs<\/h2>\n

The bottleneck is eggs. Two ways to get them:<\/p>\n
