The honest state of Prehistoric Farm tier lists
A fair warning before the table: the game launched October 2, 2026, no official stat table exists, and one large competitor wiki publishes confident rankings with zero exact numbers attached. Everything below is labeled by evidence level — that is the part most tier lists skip.
| Tier | Dinosaurs | Evidence level |
|---|---|---|
| S — endgame targets | Mythic dinosaurs (Update 1, five species), Raptor X line | Video-reported content exists; acquisition routes still being documented |
| A — best overall | T-Rex, Spinosaurus | Community consensus for top riding/value; reported Legendary rarity |
| B — best speed | Velociraptor | Community-cited fastest mount; egg free via UPDATE1 code |
| C — solid mid picks | Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus | Reported Rare/Epic; mid-tier consensus |
| D — starters & fillers | Compsognathus, Parasaurolophus, Ankylosaurus | Reported Common/Uncommon; early-game herd filler |
| Special | Aquatic boat-replacing dino, flying dinosaurs | Mechanics confirmed (aquatic) or video-reported (flying) |
What each tier means in practice
S — the Update 1 chase. Mythics are the newest, rarest tier and the current endgame flex. If you want them, the documented routes run through Update 1 content — Sky Spires for flyers, the Raptor X line for its content — tracked in the update log.
A — T-Rex and Spinosaurus. The community’s pick for best long-trip mounts and overall value. Both are expected to require deep-island fossil sets and the full unlock chain: Bronze shovel → boat → deeper islands (the islands guide maps it).
B — Velociraptor, the smart early buy. Cited as the fastest mount, and right now its egg is free with the UPDATE1 code — the single best value in the game. Redeem it on the codes page before anything else on this list.
How to actually get the ones you want
Every dinosaur flows through the same pipeline — set → egg → incubator → feeding → Elder → ride — documented end to end in the beginner guide. Two accelerators matter for tier chasing:
- Free eggs first. UPDATE1 (Velociraptor) and WEDIDIT (Allosaurus) hand you two mid-to-high picks for zero digging. Codes are on the codes page.
- Match sets to your access. Chasing a T-Rex set before you own the Bronze shovel is wasted sailing. Progress gates are in the shovel guide, and the full species-per-island mapping is in the dinosaur list.
When will this table have real numbers?
When footage or official text provides them. As soon as movement speeds, growth times or income per species get documented, this page converts from consensus tiers to a data table — watch the last-updated date. Meanwhile the riding guide covers what is verified about riding mechanics, and the money guide explains why a working herd beats a trophy roster early on.
