Breeding dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Evolved can be a complex process, especially when trying to predict the levels of your baby dinosaurs. This calculator helps you estimate the expected level range of your offspring based on the levels of the parents and other factors.
How to Use This Calculator
To calculate the expected baby level range in ARK:
- Enter the level of the first parent dinosaur
- Enter the level of the second parent dinosaur
- Select the dinosaur species (affects level inheritance)
- Select the breeding quality (affects level inheritance)
- Click "Calculate" to see the expected baby level range
The calculator will display the minimum and maximum possible levels for the baby dinosaur based on the inputs.
Formula Used
The expected baby level range is calculated using the following formula:
Minimum Level = (Parent1 Level + Parent2 Level) × 0.45 × Species Modifier × Quality Modifier
Maximum Level = (Parent1 Level + Parent2 Level) × 0.55 × Species Modifier × Quality Modifier
Where:
- Parent1 Level and Parent2 Level are the levels of the two parent dinosaurs
- Species Modifier is a value between 0.9 and 1.1 based on the dinosaur species
- Quality Modifier is a value between 0.9 and 1.1 based on the breeding quality
Note: The actual baby level may vary from these calculated ranges due to random factors in the game.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the expected baby level range for two level 50 dinosaurs:
- Parent1 Level = 50
- Parent2 Level = 50
- Species Modifier = 1.0 (average)
- Quality Modifier = 1.0 (average)
Using the formula:
Minimum Level = (50 + 50) × 0.45 × 1.0 × 1.0 = 45
Maximum Level = (50 + 50) × 0.55 × 1.0 × 1.0 = 55
The expected baby level range would be between 45 and 55.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
This calculator provides an estimate based on the formula used in ARK. The actual baby level may vary due to random factors in the game.
Does the dinosaur species affect the baby level?
Yes, some dinosaur species have modifiers that slightly increase or decrease the expected baby level range.
How does breeding quality affect the baby level?
Higher breeding quality generally results in a wider range of possible baby levels, while lower quality narrows the range.
