Rockarrot is one of the very few crops available to ARK players and can be helpful in several recipes.
What is Rockarrot?
Rockarrot is one of the crops that you can grow in ARK. It doesn’t take much effort to get the seeds, but planting and cultivating it can be tricky. Rockarrot is an ingredient in so many recipes in ARK that having a steady supply of them isn’t a bad idea. Besides, once you have a greenhouse or garden to cultivate rockarrot, you can use the same space to plant citronal, longrass, and savoroot.
How to Get Rockarrot in ARK
To cultivate rockarrot, you must create crop plots and plant the seeds you’ve gathered. Like other crops, rockarrot doesn’t have a very long spoil timer. It goes bad fast when it’s removed from the crop plot. For example, it only lasts for five minutes in your inventory before it goes bad. While you can extend it a bit by placing it in a tamed dinosaur, preserving bin, or refrigerator, rockarrot still only stays good for eight hours and 20 minutes maximum before going bad. Most players wait to harvest crops until they’re ready to use them because of this rapid spoilage timer.
Uses for Rockarrot
Rockarrot is the food most beloved by the Equus. While simple kibble will work most quickly and effectively as a taming food, rockarrot is the second-best choice to tame these horse-like animals. Once you feed it a rockarrot, you have to mount it and stay on to continue to tame it. Every time you’re thrown off the Equus, you have to feed it to get back on and continue the process. Go armed with quite a few rockarrots if you plan to tame one outside a premade trap.Rockarrot is an ingredient in simple kibble, which is used to tame many animals. While you can use foods other than kibble to tame animals, kibble gives you the highest bonuses to taming and leaves with you stronger creatures.Rockarrot is an ingredient in multiple cooking recipes. For example, Broth of Enlightenment and Enduro Stew both require rockarrot. Broth of Enlightenment gives you a 50 percent experience gain bonus for 20 minutes. Enduro Stew increases your health recovery for 15 minutes. Rockarrot is also an ingredient in Simple Vegetable Cake. This food is used to tame and feed Achatinas. It’s essential to have a reliable source of rockarrot for this recipe before you tame them so that you can feed them after they’re yours. You also use rockarrot to make Bug Repellent. This item helps you avoid the notice of particular creatures – notably insects – which can help you sneak through enemy-heavy areas and avoid some frequent sources of torpor and poison. Bug Repellent also requires a citronal, so you’ll need two crops to make it.If you like holiday decorations, make sure to have a rockarrot ready for winter. There is a snowman you can use to decorate your base. However, the recipe does require one rockarrot, among other ingredients.
