About this converter
ARK saddles act as body armor for tamed creatures at primitive quality. Most engram saddles give 25 armor. Seven bulky herbivore and platform saddles give 20 armor: Carbonemys, Trike, Bronto, Paracer, Paracer Platform, Diplodocus and Pachyrhinosaurus. The Titanosaur Platform saddle gives 1.0 armor. All Tek saddles give 45 armor. That makes a Tek saddle 45 times the Titanosaur platform and nearly twice a standard saddle. Blueprint drops can roll higher armor, but every row here pins the primitive engram value.
How to use it
Pick two saddles and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first saddle, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total armor. Try a Tek saddle against the Titanosaur platform to see the 45 to 1 gap. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Saddle armor cuts rider damage through the saddle armor formula, with a coefficient near 4 for most dino bites. Blueprint quality raises armor past these rows and sits outside the table. Tek saddles also add usable weapons that cost element, which is noted but not converted. Platform building limits and weight sit outside armor rows. Values pin ARK Survival Evolved primitive stats from the official community wiki.
FAQ
Which saddle has the lowest armor?
The Titanosaur Platform Saddle at 1.0 armor. It trades protection for a buildable platform.
Which saddles have the highest base armor?
Tek saddles at 45 armor, or 1.8 times a standard 25 saddle. The Rex Tek Saddle rows that value here.
Why do so many saddles share the same value?
Most give 25. Carbonemys, Trike, Bronto, Paracer, Paracer Platform, Diplodocus and Pachyrhinosaurus give 20.
Can saddles roll higher armor?
Yes. Blueprint drops scale past primitive values. Rows here pin primitive engram armor so ranks stay fixed.
