Wishbone

Wishbones from the Turkey Trial

The Wishbone is an event resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, carrying the in-game line "Be thankful and make a wish!" During the Turkey Trial event the Super Turkey drops it, and the bones are crafted into items at a Cooking Pot or spent there to summon the DodoRex.

What Wishbones buy

Our recipe data counts 35 recipes in ASE and 36 in ASA. Costs at the Cooking Pot, as the ARK Wiki gives them, include:

• 40 for the Turkey Emote
• 25 each for the Belly Rub Emote, the Food Coma Emote and the Hungry Emote
• 15 each for the Pitchfork Skin and the Turkey Leg Skin
• 10 each for the Chieftan Hat, Bonnet Hat, Pilgrim Hat and Turkey Hat skins
• 5 each for the Dodo Pie, Meat and Turkey swim top and bottom skins
• 5 for a random chibi-pet of rare or better quality, and since Turkey Trial 6, 1 for a random Common one
• 2 for Thanksgiving Candy

Our data adds the Turkey Costume Skin at 50 in ASE, and the Friendly Gesture Emote and Touchdown Emote at 30 each in ASA.

Summoning the DodoRex

A Cooking Pot can summon a DodoRex for 400 Wishbones. The summon shows up as the first entry in the pot, with an orange outline. With the Wishbones and some fuel inside, start the fire and choose the option to summon with tribute: the DodoRex appears on top of the pot, and the use key claims it. It lasts 25 minutes after the summon, claimed or not. Pots built before the event do not offer the summon, and the wiki's fix is a new Cooking Pot. It also reports a bug in which the DodoRex sometimes keeps walking in the direction the player faced when placing the pot, breaking walls it runs into; as it walks faster than a player sprints, a fast mount nearby helps.

Each Wishbone weighs 0.1 and they stack to 200, for a full-stack weight of 20.
