Basic Kibble — Detailed Guide
A kibble cooked from Extra Small Eggs
Basic Kibble is a taming food cooked from an Extra Small Egg in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description starts: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to many smaller creatures." The ARK Wiki names taming as its main use: kibble raises the taming meter faster than berries or meat and lowers Taming Effectiveness by less, which leads to more extra levels when the tame finishes.
What Basic Kibble tames
According to the wiki, it is used for forceful taming of the 
Dodo, 
Dilophosaur, 
Parasaur, 
Phiomia and 
Kairuku, and for passive taming of the 
Mesopithecus. Other creatures value it at only 66% of what meat and berries give them, and the wiki advises against using it for them. A creature that asks for Basic Kibble will also take Superior, Simple, Regular, Extraordinary or 
Exceptional Kibble.
Cooking a batch
It is cooked in a Cooking Pot or an 
Industrial Cooker in 30 seconds, giving 1 XP. The ingredients:
- 10
Amarberry - 10
Tintoberry - 5
Mejoberry - 5
Fiber - 1
Cooked Meat (or 
Cooked Fish Meat, or 
Cooked Meat Jerky) - 1 Extra Small Egg
- 1
Water
Extra Small eggs on the wiki's list include the 
Dodo Egg, 
Dilo Egg, 
Parasaur Egg, 
Kairuku Egg, 
Vulture Egg and 
Featherlight Egg, along with the Autumn, Spring, Summer and Winter Drakeling Eggs.
Spoilage, loot and raid healing
A piece weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, for a full stack weight of 10. It spoils after 3 days (72 hours). Our records count 48 loot crate types that can contain it, for example the Dragon Hoard and the Genesis Blue crate. The ARK Wiki also points out that Basic, Simple and 
Regular Kibble restore the most food (95) when fed to 
Daeodons, and it recommends Basic Kibble for healing a raid team, calling it the easiest of them to mass produce from the lowest tier ingredients.
