In no specific order of taming, except argy comes first cuz its a flyer and gets you around map cuz of its good stam and weight

If you want to hatch an argent but you dont have air conditioners, I recommend dropping the egg out at night and then pick it up when it hits daytime. Repeat the same process until the egg hatches (it may take a while, though).

Very good cargo tame. Can be used for combat if necessary. Gets a Rapid Regeneration buff for a bit after harvesting a body. Has weight reduction on valuable resources like obsidian, metal, and crystal by 50%. Don’t have one? Get one.

So it tamed a low level one and don’t have a saddle for it. I used three stone gateways and two gates. I don’t fly him because I am only a level 51 so I use him to bring lots of metal and crystals from the mountains home.

This thing is VERY OP I’ve killed alpha rexs with this it’s crazy. Must have tame

Imprinting on an argy is op. I imprinted 90% (with a shorter cuddle. Interval timer) and it gave me an argy that does 200-400 damge and has a weight capacity of 1000

You can pick up anky with player on anky with Argy. Have player 1 fly Argy. Pick up anky with other player riding anky and collect all the metal.

Tame a high level male, high level female, breed them and you get the dino you will use the most. Use tranq arrows or tranq darts and 4 dino gateways for a trap and NEVER use a slingshot, it will die even if you heal it

They can pick up ankys and doedics for stone and metal runs

Mobile smithy with saddle, build a trap sucker him in and you have an awesome let.

I wish they had a speed buff that has the ability like soaring or gliding in the sky, I dont mind if its slower than the griffin or the snow owl but it would be nice if there is somew way to make them go faster

This berb will give you the confidence to continuously peck almost any dino in ARK considering that you heal fast as fu-

When you eat a dead carcass of a dino/ person.

An amazing early tame. Goes down in a few arrows, and when tamed serves as a body guard and a friend on an early metal run as storage. Later can be used to pick up many important tames.

It can pick up THORNY 🐉DRAGON and alot of other thing smaller than thorny

PC players using Xbox controller pick up Dinos with left trigger. They don’t have a tight turn radius so I find it easier in most cases to sprint fly ahead of what you’ve aggro’d and land to fight them head on. Go watch Captain Fatdog video on YouTube for a low material cost Argy trap. Works like a charm.

These things can be op in 4 categories, Strength, Stamina, Weight and Speed

In order to keep them safe but still level them up make a small base somewhere safe tame a pteranodon and use the pteranodon to drop fills for it to kill

To those of you who are strictly after utility...this beautiful avian is a flying Smithy.

You can now Literally repair crossbows On The Fly.

...Just maybe land first.

These things are great for getting other tamed. This is because they can pick up most animals and drop them into taming pins, and have a lot of health in case the taming goes wrong in some way, which can also allow them to defend your unconscious tame. I highly recommended it.

If your using this bird to pick up hostile animals the animal can still attack you so use one with big big big big big BIG BIIIIIIIGGGGG amounts of health
