Lasso Tier List: All Ropes Ranked

This article ranks every lasso type in Raise Animals from best to worst, based on rope strength, handling, and upgrade cost. You enter your playstyle and budget, and the tier list below tells you which lasso to buy first and which to skip.

Formula

The tier score is calculated as: Tier Score = (Your Level + Budget / 100) / 2. This gives a weighted average of your progress (level) and your spending power (budget in coins). A higher score means a better lasso tier is recommended. The variables are:

• Your Level – your character level, from 1 to 100.
• Budget (coins) – the total coins you are willing to spend on a lasso, from 0 to 100,000.

The result is a number from roughly 0.5 to 100. Use the table below to map it to a tier.

Worked Example

Using the default values (Level 10, Budget 500 coins):

1. Add level and budget/100: 10 + (500/100) = 10 + 5 = 15.
2. Divide by 2: 15 / 2 = 7.5.
3. The tier score is 7.5, which falls into the D tier (score 5–10).

So with a level 10 character and 500 coins, the recommended lasso is a basic rope, not an epic one.

Tier List Overview

Here is the full ranking of lassos in Raise Animals, from best (S) to worst (D). The tiers are based on in-game stats, not personal preference.

• S Tier: Golden Lasso – highest durability, fastest throw, but very expensive.
• A Tier: Reinforced Lasso – great balance of strength and cost, best for mid-game.
• B Tier: Standard Lasso – reliable and cheap, good for early game.
• C Tier: Flimsy Rope – breaks often, only useful for practice.
• D Tier: Broken Rope – cannot catch anything, purely decorative.

How Lasso Tiers Work

Each lasso has three hidden stats: durability (how many throws before it breaks), throw speed (how fast the loop flies), and catch radius (how close an animal must be to get caught). Higher tiers improve all three. For example, the Golden Lasso has 50 durability, while the Flimsy Rope only has 5. The game does not show these numbers directly, but you can test them by throwing at a fence.

How to Choose the Right Lasso

Your choice depends on what you are doing:

• Early game (level 1–15): Stick to the Standard Lasso. It costs 100 coins and lasts long enough to catch basic animals like chickens and goats.
• Mid game (level 16–30): Upgrade to the Reinforced Lasso. It costs 500 coins and doubles your catch radius, making it easier to catch faster animals like deer.
• Late game (level 31+): Save for the Golden Lasso. It costs 2,000 coins but never breaks, saving you money in the long run.

If you are on a tight budget, the Standard Lasso is always a safe pick. The Flimsy Rope is never worth buying, even for practice, because it breaks after 5 throws.

Common Problems and Misconceptions

Many players think the Golden Lasso is always the best, but it is overkill for early game animals. Another common mistake is ignoring the catch radius – a lasso with high durability but small radius will miss often. Also, some players believe that throwing faster makes you catch more, but actually the catch radius matters more. Finally, note that lassos do not stack with other tools; you can only carry one at a time.

Cost Comparison

Here is the price and durability of each lasso, so you can decide what fits your budget:

• Broken Rope: 0 coins, 0 durability (useless).
• Flimsy Rope: 50 coins, 5 durability.
• Standard Lasso: 100 coins, 20 durability.
• Reinforced Lasso: 500 coins, 40 durability.
• Golden Lasso: 2,000 coins, infinite durability.

Per throw, the Standard Lasso costs 5 coins per use, while the Reinforced costs 12.5 coins per use. The Golden Lasso costs nothing after purchase, so it pays off after 400 throws.

Safety and Maintenance

Always check your lasso’s durability before a big hunt. A lasso that breaks mid-throw can injure you or the animal. Repair your lasso at any workbench for a small fee – it is cheaper than buying a new one. Also, never use a lasso near water; the rope can tangle and drown you. Store your lasso in a dry place to prevent rot.

Alternatives to Lassos

If you do not like lassos, you can use a net for small animals or a trap for larger ones. Nets are cheaper but have a shorter range. Traps are reusable but require bait. Some players prefer the whistle, which calls animals to you without any tool. Each method has its own pros and cons, but lassos remain the most versatile for general catching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Golden Lasso worth it?

Yes, if you play for more than 10 hours. It never breaks, so you save money on repairs and replacements. But for casual players, the Reinforced Lasso is better value.

Can I upgrade a lasso?

No, lassos cannot be upgraded. You must buy a higher tier one. However, you can sell your old lasso for half its price.

Why does my lasso break so fast?

You are probably using a Flimsy Rope. Switch to at least a Standard Lasso. Also, throwing at rocks or metal fences reduces durability faster than throwing at animals.

What is the best lasso for beginners?

The Standard Lasso. It is cheap, durable enough for early animals, and easy to handle. Avoid the Flimsy Rope entirely.

How do I catch rare animals?

Rare animals require a higher catch radius. Use the Reinforced Lasso or Golden Lasso, and aim for the animal’s head for a better chance.
