They double as a smith( yes you can craft stuff with the BIRD!!)

They take half weight for crystal,metal,and obsidian.

the weight of metal is half on an argy vote up to let people know

You can insta tame it by making it attack you and it will harvest a body then knock it out when it has the health increase stat (green thing around its head)then once it is knocked out I will tame automatically, HELP THE BOBS

Getting a massive TLC update in March 2018. The saddle will act as a mobile smithy, Argentavis will be able to carry with Talons as well as with its beak, reduced carry weight on obsidian and a few other unannounced resources (similar to the mammoth and wood), and will also gain a Rapid HP Regen upon eating (likely from devouring corpses and not specifically food from inventory). Like so people can see!

If you want to easily farm with A doed or anky, stay still while flying by a metal rock or normal rock and they will automatically swing

Basically it can pick up anklyo’s which not only are the best metal harvesters but also have reduced metal weight. What I’m trying to say is that it is good mid game metal farmer, for instance I just did a run with a level 45 argentavis and an Anklyo and got 1000 metal ore. On mobile btw so take some of these facts with a grain of salt.

There is a working glitch right now that allows you to (almost) instant tame these things. First, trap the Argy in a simple trap you can walk out of but the Argy cant fly out of. Second, put all of your items in a box next to a sleeping bag next to the trap and then commit die. Respawn at your bag, shoot the argy with lots of tranqs and use dododex to make sure you dont knock it out. Third, take your dead body and drag it within reach of the Argy, once the Argy consumes it its head will glow green, now knock the Argy out the rest of the way and its food bar will be drained heavily.

This allows for a near instant tame and works best on the lower levels. Using this method on an Argy makes it a faster name than a Pteranadon.
I used this on Thanksgiving day 2019.

These are great for taming small Dinosaur because you can hold it above while your team fires tranq and you can also go gather prime with it

You can wedge him between two pillars and ceilings side by side pike to death. Easy start trap for farming.

For your first, the Northeast Shores, there are a few that spawn there but beware of Rexes, Allos, Carnos and Raptors, also the beach head along the northwest coast, just short of the snow biome. Other than that, they spawn on mountain tops - but that's more dangerous area.
Best advice: Tame a pteranodon first. Kite the prospective Argie to a safe location and into a trap. Tranq with a crossbow (bow can kill) and tame with prime meat, mutton or kibble.

Argie traps:
1. Trapper Raft. Must have ceiling and two doors. Pros- can be sailed close to location and tame on water away from potential threats. Cons - initial investment of time + material.
2. Dino Gate trap.
4 stone gates placed sequentially half a foundation apart with doors on first and last. Lure into the trap on ptera and close gate behind you, dismount, close 2nd gate. Cons - exposed to smaller predators during taming. Use spiked wall perimeter.
Use stone, can destroy wood/thatch.

Argy has weight reduction on crystal too

This isnt really a Taming Tip tho it is a Good tip. If your trying to hatch a Argy egg or just any egg But dont have a Ac Unit then go to the snow area(This Only works if there is a snow area Like on the Island) And set up a little campsite there(Kinda like a small house or base) and fill it with campfires. Light all the campfires and the Egg wont be to hot. This might not be for everyone but it worked for me

Due to the update in april, 2017, speed is no longer an option. It is more useful to use a pteranodon to obtain a wyvern egg because they are faster.

Best way... build a cage with a Dino gate and lure it in and you can tranq and tame it in peace

Argy saddals double as a smithy votexxupxx to hear moreto hear more

When taming be careful when using tranq arrows because you can easily kill the argy. Wait several seconds between shots

An argentavis can't fit through a ceiling with one tile missing, but a pteranadon or lymantria can. Build a trap with one corner ceiling missing, aggro the argentavis, fly in one side and out the missing ceiling tile, and land. Dismount, run around, and close the entry door. Tame safely at your leisure.

Forget all the things that they say right now use pteradons to steal wyvern eggs!

Have a couple of these follow you when you go on metal runs for TONS of metal
