The baby Gestione takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Gestione babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Gestione babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

The Gestione is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the DMG classification.

Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. With 825 base Health, the Gestione is impressively tough. With 300 base Stamina, the Gestione has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 300, giving it generous inventory space.

The Gestione is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Gestione is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Killing a wild Gestione yields 18 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.94 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.

Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted Gestione gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.
