About this converter
ARK taming times in this table use Level 30 with preferred kibble on official 1x rates from the official community wiki. Small tames are fast: Compy at 1 minute, Dilophosaur at 13, Phiomia at 25, Parasaur at 38 and Raptor at 50. Mid tames pass 100 minutes: Gallimimus at 101, Direwolf at 112, Triceratops at 113, Pteranodon at 150, Sarcosuchus at 212 and Stegosaurus at 225. Heavy tames pass five hours: Rex at 318, Spinosaurus at 414, Giganotosaurus at 441 and Quetzal at 539. That makes one Quetzal equal 539 Compys of feeding time. All rows pin KO tames with kibble. Raw meat and berry tames take far longer.
How to use it
Pick two dinos 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 dino, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total minutes. Try Quetzal at 539 against Raptor at 50. Switch to hours for long tame planning. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Times are Level 30 only with preferred kibble and standard food noted per row: Basic Kibble for Compy tier, Simple Kibble for Raptor tier, Regular Kibble for Pteranodon tier, Superior Kibble for Direwolf tier and Exceptional Kibble for Rex tier. Higher wild levels need more food and more time. A Level 150 Doedicurus with kibble still takes 1 hour 42 minutes in the worked example. Berry and raw meat tames can triple the clock and cut bonus levels. For example the same Doedicurus on berries takes near 6 hours 38 minutes for 17 bonus levels. Evolution Event boosts cut kibble needs and can lift efficiency caps. Non violent, fish basket, turret and Titan tames use other rules and stay out. Tek, X and Aberrant variants use separate rows and stay out.
