How to get tonnes of narcotics, without even needs it :
Bring scorpions, while you're riding equus
Every little or big things you'd meet, start to knocking it with the horse, let the scorpions keep tranqs the target and feed
Meanwhile, go farm berries with the horse, and go get the meat form the big arthropods
Enjoy the narcotics
How to not use narcotics, even with dudes requires it to be tamed :
Start to tranq it, with the horse, but keep the attack rate low
Even when the target is knocked out, keep kick it, every times you'd see torpidity to low, but doesn't feed him yet
If you were careful, to not kick to much, the starve level could be around 25% while the tame target would have to low health to keep kick it, so once you'd feed him, the tame progress would jump instantly

Don't Listen to people who say that they are waste of time. If are probably used they will be the best early game dino ever and in taming you just have to complete hunt Megapirana task and you will get a 10X smoothing balm and then gather 8 to 10 bushes and you will get 2 carrots then just go and tame it.
BEST THINGS ABOUT THEM IS THAT THEY DO A CONTINUOUS TORPOR DAMAGE WITH THEIR KICK NOT LIKE OTHER CREATURES LIKE PACHY AND SCORPION. AND YOU AND EASILY MAKE NARCOTICS IN THEM SO THEY ARE VERY GOOD FOR TAMING.
BTW THIS IS MY FIRST TIP.
Since I haven’t seen anyone say this, equus have six ‘classes’ based off of their power on mobile. If it’s power is 1.99 or less its in the lazy ‘class’, if it’s power is 2-3.09 it’s in the ‘normal’ class and will not have a special name when born, if it’s power is 3.10-4.50 it’s in the ‘swift’ class, if it’s power is 4.51-6.64 it’s in the ‘maiden’ class, if it’s power is 6.65-13.32 it’s in the ‘racing’ class, and finally, if it’s power is 13.33 above it’s in the ‘thoroughbred’ role. This is a good way to get a guess on a babies power when it’s born.
