Superior Augmented Kibble

A kibble that left the game

Once part of the Extinction expansion, Superior Augmented Kibble is a Superior kibble from ARK: Survival Evolved that has since been removed. It arrived in patch 285.104, and Extinction used it as a comfort food for taming and imprinting while trying out the kibble rework from Homestead, which turned kibble into quality-based types. The item was taken out with v293.100 on PC, while Xbox lost it in 784.13 and PlayStation in 533.14, and the ARK Wiki states it can no longer be crafted by any means. Its description opens with: "This specially blended pet food is a favorite of many larger creatures."

Its role in taming

Kibble pushes the taming meter up faster than berries or meat do, and it lowers taming effectiveness less, which leaves more bonus levels when a tame completes. This kibble was once used to force-tame creatures such as the Argentavis, Megalodon, Mammoth, Snow Owl, Tapejara and Woolly Rhino, and to tame the Deinosuchus passively. Any other creature values it at only 66% of the effect 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:

• 10 Mejoberry
• 10 Red Crystalized Sap
• 3 Fiber
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 Rare Mushroom
• 1 Prime Meat Jerky
• 1 Water

Eggs the wiki counts as large include the Allosaurus Egg, Argentavis Egg, Spino Egg and Titanoboa Egg. Our records give a crafting time of 30 seconds and 5 XP per craft.

Weight, spoiling and glow

A piece weighs 0.1 and they stack to 100, a full stack weighing 10. It spoils after 72 hours, or 3 days. Our records tie it to the Extinction map. The kibble glows like Journeyman-quality items, which the wiki suggests may hint at the worth of the eggs that went into it.
