Dude... thank you. I just started playing ark and am usually pretty good at picking up game mechanics. The way some creators take an hour to explain something that can be explained in 10 minutes was killing me and making it so hard to follow. No long intro, no fluff, easy to follow. Thank you.

Brilliant. I've been playing Ark for a couple years but never fully understood this. You're great at explaining this so even a dummy like me understands it. Good job.

Anyone else annoyed that the binoculars are a last engram unlock, the game is basically done by that point so no one outside of pvp would be too concerned with mutating AFTER getting them. (I know there’s mods that can be used but I’m talking from a strictly vanilla POV).

[Hammerthegrey]

Dude you earned my sub and thank you for making this, I've been watching videos on breeding for 2 weeks trying to understand and they all repeat the same stuff in circles, never getting to the "how and why" great job can't wait to get into your other vids!

[AJ-W]

Dude this video feels like it was made just for me and my buddy. Thank you for this explanation! You are awesome and you 100% got my sub!

At 11:00 that wolf is not necessarily fixed as it still has a ton of wasted mutations and since it does and the number is over 20 thechance of further mutations gets cut in half from something like 7% to 3.5%. its best to just go back to before the mistakes occured as it will save a lot of time. And its notthe end of the world if you get a female with a mutation all you have to do is breed the female with an unmutated male until it passes the mutation you want on to a male.

[Phaevryn]

This video finally made me understand how it all works because it's explained in a logical, detailed but not super nerdy manner. Awesome.

[itseye]

Wow! This video blew my mind. I finally understand how mutations work and in way less time then some confusing videos I already watched. Thank you so much for explaining with everything in a line. It finally makes sense. Subbed!

[dbdragoner]

Thank you so much for this video and the fix! I've been breeding raptors and couldn't figure out why they weren't getting anymore stat increases. My clown raptor army may now march every forward!

from someone that knows a lot about breeding in ark this was actually funny to watch very well done an explained very well ive tried to teach others how to properly breed an most times they don't care or don't listen ive now just given up teaching others they'll breed up dinos for few days an then ask to use one of mine and its just painful to watch them take dinos I'm breeding an mix it with there messed up breeds i wasted so many days teaching ppl an then they just revert back to how your not supposed to breed or continue to not do it right or efficient id try an let it slide an teach or explain it again few more times an eventually gave up wish there was more ppl in my server that enjoyed breeding an actually knew what they were doing but there isn't they'll trade dinos that aren't worth stack of fiber i now keep all my breeding separate from everyone else sucks but it is what it is just wish i had ppl to help an get into breeding truly feels like I'm playing whole other game sometimes there playing free for all breeding messy and I'm breeding super dinos

[ynyn-rlqk]

Thank you my good man. Ive been playing ark for years now, been breeding for a bit. And you just saved my line of wolves I'm super breeding. Appreciate you loads.

I think you said that the dino didn't really get mutations even though the count mutation went up but I think color changes in a dino even though theres no extra stat mutations, the colors will still count at mutations. In my opinion, I would go for color in mutations in a dino towards the end of the line unless you randomly get the colors you want.

Done a lot of breeding on ASE - so assuming its the same on ASA, some people like it in text form - Basically;

Wild / Start:
- Get wild dinos with stats you want
- Breed until you have a male and female (non mutated and they have all of the right stats) - this is your original/start pair

Mutation 1:
- Breed together the non-mutated pair (keep a hold of the original male for later)
- Swap out the male each time there is a mutation on the male line (kill anything else)
*You end up with the 20 mutation stack male breeding with the original non-mutated female(s)

Mutation 2:
- Take the non-mutated male again, breed with one of the non-mutated females and do the same for a different stat and this time do it while swapping out the female.
This takes longer because for the male line, you can use multiple females to 1 male but this doesnt work for female line.
*You will end up with a 20 mutation stack female breeding with the original non-mutated male

End:
Once you have your 20M and 20F,
- Breed these together until you get a male and female with both mutation stacks applied. (This is your perfect mutated pair)
- Breed them together and the child from this is your riding/using tame(s), imprint and then store the perfects somewhere safe

- - -

4 Stack Mutation:
If you want to do a 4 stack Health, Melee, Weight, Stamina (10 mutations) -- its the same thing, instead of 20 you just stop at half way.
You will end up with 2 males, 2 females. Breed till the mutations transfer over

😮 man..I can't tell u how helpful this video was to me. I've watched other videos and still didn't have a good grasp on what I was looking at. Thank u

[Cathanys]

Thank you for the detailed video. All these years I didn't know how to breed with mutations.

[lgtdiva]

11:56 Actually after watching this video WITH pictures, it makes perfect sense to me, thank you

[ricogrissen]

Best video ever on how mutations work! 😃 Great job on this! I've subbed, and I will watch more of your videos! 😁

[NoMaaDRED]

First time understood how the mutation works. Good work splitting it properly.

[iamthejustin]

@ConCon is 100% correct. Once you've mastered this process, you could also start a different batch for negative mutations. So you have your health batch, damage batch and the negative mutation batch, where you keep smashing the mutated dino together to get the mutation counter below 0; as the counter accumulates, it'll go past the byte value, flipping to negative, which essentially means both sides have 0 mutations, and you get increased probability and efficiency of getting mutations. You need approximately 32 generations to achieve this. And it's only for people who are going for max stats.

In the previous ARK: Survival Evolved, you saw all the Real-Money Traders on the black market use this strategy.

Thank you for explaining that I have been struggling with the "why" and you explained it verry well Thank you! again!!
