Extraordinary Augmented Kibble

A kibble that left the game

No longer craftable, Extraordinary Augmented Kibble was taken out of ARK: Survival Evolved in v293.100, and the ARK Wiki states that it cannot be made by any means now. It came with the Extinction expansion, where it served taming and imprinting as a comfort food while the Kibble Rework of the Homestead update was tested; that rework moved kibble to quality-based types. PC kept it until 293.100, Xbox until 784.13 and PlayStation until 533.14. The description says: "This specially blended pet food is a favorite of many exotic 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."

Taming with it, in the past

Like other kibble, it was fed to creatures during taming: the wiki explains that kibble fills the taming meter faster than berries or meat and costs less Taming Effectiveness, leaving more bonus levels once the tame is done. It was once used to force-tame the Managarmr. For other creatures it counted for only 66% of regular meat and berries, and the wiki advises against using it on them.

The former recipe

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

• 50 Mejoberry
• 10 Fiber
• 1 Cooked Lamb Chop
• 1 Giant Bee Honey
• 1 Special Egg
• 1 Water

Eggs of Special size, in the wiki's list, include the Wyvern Egg, Rock Drake Egg, Magmasaur Egg and Crystal Wyvern Egg. Our records still list a crafting time of 30 seconds and 10 XP per craft.

Weight, spoiling and a few oddities

A piece weighs 0.1 and a stack holds 100, which comes to 10 for a full stack; it spoils after 72 hours (3 days). The wiki notes that it glows like Ascendant-quality items, and that since the Homestead update it has been sorted as Exceptional-grade kibble instead of Extraordinary-grade.
