Intro from BoonSlevin: Huge thanks to the amazing and very quick work by Pocemon and JWS51203, we already have all the details about Spawn Mechanics post 1.3 update! Here we detail how spawns are localized in the game and explain why you should start hanging out at fire stations and pet stores!

Editor’s note: Huge thank you to our new Artist for these incredibly amazing info-graphics! Thanks HattPumpkins!

What Influences Spawns in Jurassic World Alive?

Though we don’t know exactly how it plays out, spawn points are clearly associated with location tags that influence which dinosaurs are found there. The broadest of these tags encompass all dinosaurs currently spawning in the game and are listed below:

Global

Parks

Local (4 different types)

Global spawns can spawn at any point while park spawns spawn at parks, preserves, and other naturalesque public locations. The four localized categories are more vague. These appear to be what we referred to as “local spawns” in our previous spawn article.

These may be the areas that we are most likely to see dinosaur “migrations” to and from. These four local categories may be variable in size, but all appear to cover broad areas. We don’t know what these local areas are tied to, but we can tell you what appears in each one!

Changes in Spawns post 1.3 Update

In version 1.3, Ludia has entirely changed the spawns in every Local and Global. New Dinos were added to the “Nest Spawns” and “Nest Locations”, which you’ll see later in this article. On the temporal side, they’ve added new Dawn and Dusk spawns, so those aren’t just for the looks! As you will notice, Park spawns no longer have any non-hybrid hybrid materials, making it less of a chore to have to go to parks for hybrid ingredients. Each local has added a day/dawn/dusk Epic Dino and each has an all-day rare hybrid. To balance each local out, they each have 2 epics with hybrids.

To complicate things, we do see Dinos pop up in unexpected places. However, most spawns operate as expected, given the categories below. Check out the Dinosaurs in each category, below.

Global Spawns

Parks / Green Space spawns

Local Spawns

These four categories may correlate with our speculation regarding local spawning. Here are the dinosaurs that you can find in each local area. We’ve put each of the four local spawn categories on a separate line for ease of interpretation.

Nests in Jurassic World Alive

Jurassic World Alive does not currently have “nests” in the sense that Pokemon Go did, but there is something we will call nests that we think is even cooler! You may have noticed that some dinosaurs only spawn at certain times (day or night), but you occasionally see these dinosaurs at other times (e.g. running into a Velociraptor mid-day). If this happens to you, you’ve just run across a nest!

We’ve linked certain spawn points to business/building types and, at these points, a group of dinosaurs can spawn at anytime. Below is a list of these nest locations and their associated dinosaurs.

Remember, there’s always a very low chance of any dino spawning anywhere, so if you see a dino extremely out of place, then that should be your explanation!

Spawn Rates

Tier Spawn Rate in Percentage Any Common 0.88% Any Rare 0.105% Any Epic 0.01% Any Rare Hybrid 0.004% Any Epic Hybrid 0.001%% Global Common 43.56% Global Rare 5.20% Global Epic 0.297% Global Rare Hybrid 0.198% Global Epic Hybrid 0.05% Local Common 43.56% Local Rare 5.198% Local Epic 0.693% Local Rare Hybrid 0.198% Local Epic Hybrid 0.05% Total 100%

Total Common 88% Total Rare 10% Total Epic 1% Total Rare Hybrid 0.4% Total Epic Hybrid 0.1% Total 100%

It seems like Ludia has been listening to the community and has effectively increased Rare Spawns and has even increased Local Epic spawns by six times! This is surely the time to go out and hunt some Rare and Epic Dinosaurs!

Parting Words

Let this be your guide to Dinosaur habitats and habits and go explore! There is still much to learn about just how rare Dinosaurs are at these locations and exactly how much variability there is with each spawn point. If you want to join in the hunt and conversation, check out our Discord!
