Exceptional Kibble — Detailed Guide
Taming food from an extra large egg
Tamers in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended feed Exceptional Kibble to the creatures they are taming; it is made from an Extra Large Egg. Its description reads like a pet food label: "This specially blended pet food is a favorite of many extra large creatures. Containing only the finest natural ingredients, it provides pets with the balanced nutrition they need. And with a taste they can't resist, they'll warm up to you in no time! Not intended for human consumption."
Cooking a batch
It is crafted in a Cooking Pot or an 
Industrial Cooker from:
- 1 Extra Large Egg
- 10
Mejoberry - 5
Fiber - 1
Rare Flower - 1
Focal Chili - 1
Water
A craft takes 30 seconds and gives 1 XP. 
Eggs the ARK Wiki counts as Extra Large include the 
Rex Egg, 
Quetzal Egg, 
Giganotosaurus Egg, 
Therizino Egg and 
Bronto Egg, among others.
Creatures that want it
Kibble moves the taming bar faster than Berries or Meat and costs less Taming Effectiveness, which adds up to more extra levels once the tame is done. The ARK Wiki lists Exceptional Kibble for forced tames of the 
Rex, 
Giganotosaurus, 
Spino, 
Therizinosaur, 
Quetzal, 
Mosasaurus, 
Brontosaurus, 
Managarmr, 
Karkinos, 
Fasolasuchus, 
Amargasaurus and 
Yi Ling, and for passive tames of the 
Tropeognathus and 
Basilosaurus. Other creatures value it at only 66% of regular Meat and Berries, and the wiki does not advise it for them. Higher quality kibble is accepted too: 
Extraordinary Kibble can stand in for it.
Spoilage, weight and loot
A piece spoils in 72 hours, or 3 days. Each weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. Our records count 49 crate types that can contain it, for example the Dragon Hoard, Astraeos Lime, Genesis Blue and Genesis Orange, and list it on 9 maps. The ARK Wiki also mentions that it glows like Mastercraft-quality items.
