Kibble (Raptor Egg)

A kibble from before the rework

Kibble (Raptor Egg) is a Simple Kibble that, according to the ARK Wiki, now belongs to ARK: Survival Evolved Mobile. Our records also hold rows for ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The in-game text reads: "This pet food recipe has been carefully designed to give balanced nutrition to almost any creature native to the island. Includes plant fibers to help with digestion and egg to bind the mix. Humans have difficulty digesting this."

Removed from PC and console

On PC and consoles this kibble type existed until the Homestead! Kibble Rework patch, which moved kibble over to quality-based types. The wiki gives the cut-off versions as 293.100 on PC, 533.14 on Playstation and 784.13 on Xbox; the Nintendo Switch edition dropped it with its remastered version, 601.0. On PC and console it can no longer be crafted in any way. For the current recipes in ASE and ASA, the wiki points to its main Kibble page.

Crafting and taming on Mobile

On Mobile it is still cooked in a Cooking Pot or an Industrial Cooker, and a TEK Kibble Processor (Mobile) can produce it from any mix of kibble worth a value of 3. Our ASE and ASA rows store a crafting time of 30 seconds.

Taming is its main use. Kibble raises the taming bar quicker than Berries or Meat and costs less Taming Effectiveness, which means more bonus levels on the finished tame. It was once used to force-tame the Mammoth on PC and console and still fills that role on Mobile. Fed to other creatures, it counts for only 66% of what regular Meat and Berries give, and the wiki advises against it there.

Spoiling, weight and the Super variant

A piece spoils after 72 hours (3 days) and weighs 0.1; 100 fit in a stack, which then weighs 10. Mobile also has Super Kibble (Raptor Egg) (Mobile), cooked with a Super Fertilized Raptor Egg (Mobile) in place of the normal Raptor Egg; it tames faster and with higher Taming Effectiveness.
