~ BREEDING ~

First thing you need to know about griffin breeding is that they’re finicky. If you ever wanted to replicate what it’s like to raise a pet in real life in ark’s format, this is the best challenge you’ll get.

#1- Babies under 10% maturity refuse food if they’re separated from their mothers. They do not care about the sore, only the dam. After 10%, they’ll start eating from the trough and become independent from their dam.

#2- Once you fully imprint on them using candies, if they don’t reach 10% before the next imprinting time,

They will refuse food if they’re not imprinted on again, despite already being at 100% imprint.

I am not sure if this is accurate for all families of griffin, as this did not happen with my ‘Ra family baby, but it did with my ‘Yss family baby.

#3- Babies, even with toy yo-yos on a maturity boosted server, grow incredibly slowly. To put it in perspective, it only takes 2hrs on a max boosted server w/ yoyo to get a giga to 10%. It takes a griffin about 10-15 hours. HOWEVER, from what I’ve noticed they don’t eat much. They’re very sparing with food and get slots quickly, so they really only need to be sat with for the first hour if you have a good food supply.

#4- Unclaiming any griffin will effectively turn it wild and you will have only 15 minutes to knock it, and wake it up tamed after doing so, before it dies of neglect.

So if you are selling griffins as a part of your admin shop, as I am doing, you’ll want to sell adults by pre-trapping them, completely depleting their food value via stimberries prior to unclaiming, as well as a good amount of biotoxin to help it knock, and then giving your buyer a good longneck with shocking tranq darts and a 15x balm with allo or griffin kibble in order to instant-tame it.

Make sure your buyer is fully prepared and knows the sensitivity of time in re-taming your griffin, and if they do not knock it in time, I suggest doing so yourself.

It may also be wise to pre-collect your griffins implant invade of mishaps.

I hope this helps Dododex mods as well as users! This is all information that I had to find out for myself through experience and through in depth research.
