Rock Drake Saddle — Detailed Guide
A saddle that hides its rider
Aberration introduced the Rock Drake Saddle, and the ARK Wiki also lists it on Fjordur, Lost Island, Crystal Isles, Valguero and Genesis: Part 2. It is recorded in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended and goes on a tamed 
Rock Drake, as the item text says: "Equip a Rock Drake with this to ride it." When the Rock Drake camouflages, the saddle does too, and the rider turns invisible along with it.
Seats and riding
The saddle has a second seat, which a passenger can use to be carried along for transport or to act as a gunner. The ARK Wiki also notes that the Rock Drake is the first creature tamed from birth that requires a saddle to ride; the 
Wyvern and 
Reaper, also tamed from birth, do not.
Recipe in ASA and ASE
The engram unlocks at level 75 for 26 engram points, and crafting also requires level 75. A craft takes 10 seconds and gives 70 XP. In ASA the recipe is:
- 350
Hide - 225
Fiber - 125
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 85
Red Gem or 
Red Crystalized Sap
Our ASE record uses the same amounts with only Metal Ingot and Red Gem. A 
Smithy, an 
Exo-Mek and a 
Tek Replicator can craft it, as can the 
Argentavis Saddle, 
Thorny Dragon Saddle and 
Castoroides Saddle.
Armor and loot
The saddle has an armor rating of 25 and 50 durability, weighs 20 and stacks to 1. Our records count 53 crate types that can contain it, among them the Aberration Dungeon Red and Yellow crates and the Aberration Purple and Red crates, and they list the Rock Drake and 
Corrupted Rock Drake as creatures that drop it.
