Genesis Part 1 Mission Loot Table for ASA: Search Drops by Item, Mission and Biome

Genesis Part 1 mission loot is useful only when you can answer one practical question: which mission should I run for the item I actually want? A generic loot table is hard to use mid-progression, so this guide adds a searchable finder for the mission drops that matter.

The data below is a static baseline imported from the ARK Official Community Wiki mission loot tables for Genesis Part 1. The site does not fetch the wiki at runtime; the rows are committed locally so the guide stays fast and filterable.

Item and mission names stay in official English even on the Spanish version, because that is what players see in wiki.gg, loot-table searches and most in-game discussions. ASA can still retune live mission drops, so treat this as verified baseline data and confirm valuable farms in game.

How to use the mission loot finder

Search by item or mission first. Typing Stego Saddle, Tek Sword, Flak, Mining Drill or part of a mission name filters the full Genesis Part 1 mission loot set immediately. Then narrow the result with category, biome, mission type, difficulty and loot bucket.

The quick chips are there for common farming questions, not because those are the only valuable items. If you are planning a rebuild, start broad with a category like Saddle or Armor, then use biome and difficulty to find a mission you can actually clear. Every row links back to the wiki.gg source page for that mission's loot table.

How to read drop rate vs quality

Drop rate is the listed chance for that item entry in that mission loot table. A higher drop rate means the item appears more often in that table, but it does not guarantee a useful roll, and multiple loot entries can still compete inside a reward crate.

Quality range is different. When wiki.gg exposes a range, it describes the estimated quality or armor/damage band that can roll for that entry. Alpha usually has better quality ranges than Gamma, but the item can still fail to appear. If the finder says Not listed, the source did not expose a useful quality range for that row.

Special, Boosted and Common drops

Special drops are the most interesting rows. They are mission-specific items that are not just the normal background pool, so they are often the reason to target one mission over another. The Tek Sword on The Rhino 500 is a clean example.

Boosted rows are items that appear more often in that mission compared with ordinary shared loot. Common rows are broad pool entries that can show up across many missions. Common does not mean bad, but it usually means you should compare quality, difficulty and route speed before treating one mission as the only farm.

High-value examples to sanity check

Tek Sword should show The Rhino 500. In the baseline table, The Rhino 500 has a Tek Sword special drop at 6.149% on Gamma, Beta and Alpha, which is why that Race is such a good first farm if you already unlocked Tek Sword through Nunatak.

Stego Saddle should show the real missions where it appears instead of a guessed answer. In the current baseline, Rip It, Roll It, and Punch It! appears as the highest-rate special result at 17.312%, with Ocean, Escort and all three difficulties listed. Use the finder to compare the rest of the Stego Saddle rows before committing to a route.

Pair loot targets with Hexagon farming

The best mission is not always the mission with the largest single drop rate. If you fail it repeatedly, need expensive repairs or spend too long travelling, a slightly worse loot row can be the better farm. Start with the loot target, then check whether the mission fits your gear tier.

For no-loot starts, the mission walkthrough explains why Races are the safe first completions. For economy planning, the Hexagon guide compares Race, Escort, Hunt, Retrieve and Gauntlet payouts. Use this page to choose what you want to drop, then those guides to decide how safely you can farm it.

Turn the drop target into a farm plan

If the finder points to a mission you cannot clear yet, compare mission-ready dinos and FFA tames, gear, blueprints and consumables, or ask in Discord what Genesis mission loot and carry coverage is live.
