Pro Tips for Using This Tier List

Prioritise High Impact Creatures

One mutated S-tier often covers the revenue of an entire pen of F-tier pets. Invest lasso time and feed in your top row first.

Climb the Ladder Fast

Use D and F animals to learn mechanics, but target B-tier enclosures as soon as possible so A and S spawns feel within reach.

Track Weather Buffs

Disco or Storm events can multiply S-tier payouts by 10x. Check the forecast board before long farming sessions.

Protect Ranch Capacity

Clear low-tier pens regularly. Empty slots mean you can instantly capture the next legendary without juggling storage.

Keep Optimising Your Ranch

The right tools turn tier insights into faster profits. Jump straight to the utilities players rely on after ranking their pens.
