Exceptional Augmented Kibble

A removed Extinction kibble

Exceptional Augmented Kibble comes from the Extinction expansion of ARK: Survival Evolved, and the ARK Wiki says it was removed in v293.100. Its description opens with "This specially blended pet food is a favorite of many extra large creatures." On Extinction it worked as a comfort food for taming and imprinting and was used to test the kibble rework of the Homestead update, which moved kibble to quality-based types. The wiki says it was available until 293.100 on PC, 533.14 on Playstation and 784.13 on Xbox.

The former recipe

Before v293.100 it was cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker from:

• 20 Element Dust
• 10 Mejoberry
• 3 Fiber
• 2 Rare Flower
• 2 Raw Prime Fish Meat
• 1 Extra Large Egg
• 1 Water

The wiki states it can no longer be crafted by any means. Our database still keeps this recipe, naming the egg an Exceptional Dinosaur Egg, with a crafting time of 30 seconds and 10 XP. The wiki's list of Extra Large eggs includes, for example, the Rex Egg, Quetzal Egg, Giganotosaurus Egg and Therizino Egg.

Taming value

As with other kibble, it fills the taming meter faster than berries or meat and lowers Taming Effectiveness less, which leads to more bonus levels once the tame completes. The wiki notes it was once used to force-tame a Managarmr, and its page also names creatures it is used to force-tame now, among them the Rex, Spino, Quetzal and Mosasaurus, plus the Basilosaurus and Tropeognathus as passive tames. Other creatures value it at only 66% of regular meat and berries.

Weight and spoiling

Our records give a weight of 0.1 per piece, a stack of 100 weighing 10, and a spoil time of 72 hours, or 3 days. The wiki adds that it glows like Mastercraft-quality items.
