Noglin Taming Calculator
Let a wild Noglin jump onto one of your own tamed creatures and take it over. Bring several durable, low-damage creatures: whatever it possesses will attack the rest of your group and you, and a hard hitter turns that into losses. Each ride lasts thirty seconds and is capped at a fifth of what it needs, so it takes at least five, and a creature it has just used refuses another for forty seconds, which means five different creatures rather than one used five times. It ignores anything wild.
How this tame works
No feedingOffer it 5 of your creatures. About 3 minutes at level 150.
What a possession is worth scales with how hard that creature is to tame itself, up to a cap. Anything needing 68,450 progress or more pays the full share; weaker ones pay less and you need more of them.
Creatures in this band: Brontosaurus, Titanosaur, Mosasaurus, Shastasaurus, Leedsichthys, Amargasaurus, Voidwyrm. All of them clear the threshold, so each one pays the full share.
- It only counts creatures that belong to a player tribe. Possessing something wild gives you nothing at all, and you cannot use the same creature twice.
- It inherits a share of how badly each victim was itself tamed, on every possession rather than only past the limit. Use your best-tamed creatures and the figure above holds; use poorly tamed ones and it will finish lower than shown.
- Each ride lasts 30s and a ride is capped however long it runs, so the rides alone come to 2:30. A creature it has just ridden refuses another for 40s, which is why they have to be different creatures.
- It never takes more than 20% from one creature, so 5 is the floor no matter how strong they are. Going past that starts costing effectiveness fast.
Starve & Torpor Timers
The Noglin, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Misc classification.
Its base Stamina of 100 gives it low stamina reserves. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Noglin brings solid damage output to the table. With 50 base Health, the Noglin is glass-cannon fragile. It carries 80 base Weight - very limited carrying capacity.
As a tame, the Noglin is valued for its harvesting efficiency, collecting key resources faster than most tools. A wild Noglin is worth 0.5 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.07 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
