Since it is slow DO NOT use in wyvern trench unless on scorched earth.

Use a taming pen with an Arge and you can get a lot of good resource farming dinos (beavers ankylosaurus etc.)

The argy is a good grinding birds if you grid a lot then these are great. The griffin are better but for grinding no. Also im pretty sure the argys are faster. If you wanna steal wyvern eggs. Then use a griffin.

Argentavis is cool to tame because they because they hold

a tone of stuff. My Argentavis has moved around my dinosaurs. But he is super slow

If you don’t like argents stay away from their island (top right corner)

A must to any survivor. Lots of health, weight, and melee damage

It’s an easy tame and halves metal weight and carries ankylo and has good weight best flying Dino ever

You can use its inventory as a smithy

I have a lvl 40 Argy named Falcone. I was hoping to breed a very beautiful male with her, but he mate was stuck in redwoods and got killed. I got a apprentice argy saddle blueprint, which took me hours to make. But in the end, it was worth it. Argys are pretty helpful, but can be annoying at times. They help you pick things up, and a decent lvl can have good weight. If you pick a wild raptor up with an Argy, it can't pounce on you. Also, their stam is the decent too. Good for travelling long distances, whether flying full speed or regular flying.

But heres a consequence... They are slow, so slow that a pteranodon can beat them in a race. They spawn in the Artic, or the place near the artic. The saddle is unlocked at lvl 62 and can be crafted in the smithy. One more thing about Argies are that they are easy to fight in the wild.

Once tamed you have a weight reduction for certain things like metal and they can withstand the cold so if you are grinding metal use this to your advantage and go up to the snowy mountains

The real thing is 6 meters wide

argys are good tamming tame just pair it up with a trap for small creatures and boom

There is a setting that allows you to upgrade movement speed

Might be a bit hard to tame one if you're low level like me, but like all the other comments said, It's absolutely worth it. I had a bit of luck and ran into a level 35 argy, after being chased for a bit and then chasing it a bit I tamed it with raw prime meat and got it to level 40+. Equipped even with a primitive saddle, this bird can tear through anything that's level 30 or below. Terror birds? Sabertooth? Lift up and kill. Need prime meat? Slaughter some paracertheriums or diplodocus. Want a Rex bone helmet? Fly straight into its back and start clawing! So far the only things I have encountered with argy and haven't managed to kill are Titanosaurs(for obvious reasons) and Allosaur packs (I am positive that the argy can handle them with a few easy prey nearby, but I wouldn't take that chance.). No Rex or Spino or Bronto can stand up to it as long as there are other prey nearby for it to regenerate its health. So go ahead and tame one as soon as u can!

Just got my first argy. All I can say is it is AMAZING because of its weight reduction on metal, obsidian, etc. Definitely a must-have for any player. If you like to go BIG on projects or just want loads of extra items, definetly get some extra argys.

Its ability to pick up small to medium sized creatures makes it easier to tame said creatures. You simply build a taming-pen (I use pillars), pick up the creature and drop into pen. Leave gaps between to shoot through. Thanks if you found this useful.

Tame it and an anky to efficiently get metal super easily

Easiest way to get metal

Like if you agree Ark's next update should make manually feeding like the crafting section to where you can hold feed to feed a dino multiple pieces of food. Like hold and drag the bar to say 50 narcotics so we dont have to spam the feed button anymore.

If not playing solo you can grab a ridden Ankylo to fly around to metal deposits to get a quick load of metal with your ankylo riding friend doing all the smashing work.

Works well for beavers and doedi as well.

great for loading up on resources (ore/crystal/obsidian) at the mountains and flying back to your base because of its high weight capacity and weight reduction.
