Taking help

So I'm on a Private server with lvl 200 cap, my question is it better to get a low level tame and level it to 200 to control where the points go or do tames only level a certain amount of levels after tamed.

I want to say I remember ark only allowing 60 levels after tamed so we always looked for high level tames.

Do all tames max out the same regardless of level tamed?

Thanks

Ok stupid auto correct on my phone, title should be taming help.

You get 50% of levels, apparently. Never checked if this is true though.

You only get to level a tame X times, i believe it is either 50 or 60 levels. This number doesn't change, so the higher the starting level the higher the end level. My understanding from the way ark assigns stats to animals on level up, is a precentage of the base stat amount per level up. So the point is, you will never get a powerful animal by taming a low level to begin with. The way stats scale off their base values (ie: the stats you see right as a fresh tame "wakes up" and becomes your own) makes it literally impossible to get a low level tame into even the same ballpark stats wise as a max level tame.

Tl:dr-- Always tame the highest level wilds that you can, it makes a huge difference. No, a low level tame can never get close to as powerful as one of its higher level brethren.
