ARK: Survival Ascended Dino Stats Calculator

ARK: Survival Ascended Stats Calculator

Compute the exact post-tame stats for any of 323 ARK: Survival Ascended creatures. Set wild level (1–500), taming effectiveness (0–100%), and imprint percentage, then either auto-distribute wild points evenly or manually allocate per stat. The calculator shows the full chain: base value → wild value → post-tame value (with TE-driven bonus levels) → final leveled value → with-imprint value. All eight stats covered: Health, Stamina, Oxygen, Food, Weight, Melee Damage, Speed, Torpidity. Data verified against ark.wiki.gg dossier pages (April 2026).

The Canonical ARK Stat Formula

ARK uses a multiplicative formula chained across four phases — wild leveling, post-tame bonus from taming effectiveness, domesticated leveling, and imprint bonus:

// Wild value (no tame yet)
wildValue = base × (1 + wildPoints × wildPerLevel)

// Post-tame: TE adds bonus wild levels (floor(wildPoints × TE / 2))
postTame  = base × (1 + (wildPoints + bonusLevels) × wildPerLevel)

// After spending domesticated points
final     = postTame × (1 + tamedPoints × tamedPerLevel)

// Imprint bonus (HP, Melee, Torpor, Speed, Food, Weight)
display   = final × (1 + imprint × 0.20)

The TE bonus is why kibble tames matter — a 100% TE Rex gets +75 bonus levels at level 150, distributed proportionally to the wild points already in each stat. Tame the same Rex with raw meat at 30% TE and you get only ~22 bonus levels.

Stats by Imprint Eligibility

Source: ark.wiki.gg/Creature_stats_calculation — "the imprinting bonus IB only affects bred creatures, and all stat-values except of stamina and oxygen (it does affect the torpor-value)".

• ✓ Health — +20% at 100% imprint
• ✓ Melee Damage — +20% at 100% imprint
• ✓ Movement Speed — +20% (the most impactful imprint stat for travel mounts)
• ✓ Torpidity — +20% (relevant for boss fights and torpor-resist tames)
• ✓ Food + Weight — +20% (less commonly noticed but real)
• ✗ Stamina — never affected by imprint
• ✗ Oxygen — never affected by imprint

Wild-Level Distribution Reference

A vanilla level-150 creature has 149 wild points distributed at random across the leveled stats. The default "distribute evenly" mode here splits across the seven leveled stats (HP, Stam, Oxygen, Food, Weight, Melee, Torpor) which gives ~21 per stat — a reasonable approximation of the average wild dino. Use the per-stat input to model a specific roll, or use the "Max one stat" preset to see best-case for a single stat (the breeding-line target value you'd aim to inherit on every cycle).
