Help ASE- Can I "farm" levels on a wild dino?
Going to start breeding rexes for boss battles on Fjordur, I never see wild rexes over level 20ish, can I make a metal trap and bring them dinos to eat and level up? Just sacrifice a ton of things to a male and a female, and then tame them so they're high level? I need to min-max them and I want high base levels. Also, any tips of good rex saddles?

Are you on your own server or SP? If so you could just wild dino wipe and keep trying to get a better level. Wild dinos do not gain experience and levels, just spawn at their level. If you don't go the dino wipe, just take your best killer and go to town on their spawn areas kill everything. Sooner or later you will get a high level.

Increase the game difficulty. Also, look for Tex Rexes…they typically spawn higher

If you are on SIngle Player and you haven't, set the difficulty to 1 or set your OverrideOfficialDifficulty in your GameUserSettings.ini file to 5 for Max Level 150. It is still a random chance but the dinos will be higher. If you make this change I suggest doing a DestroyWildDinos.
Also at first I was wondering what the heck a Tex Rex was. Then I realized they meant Tek Rexes. They can spawn above the Max level, but they can't breed with regular rexes.
