Argys weight reduction is not just metal crystal and obsidian. They have weight reduction for many other resources and are hands down the best flier for moving weight

Idk about everyone but In war these guys can be used to transport to the frontlines fast

Argentavis are pretty good for carrying things long distances if you have your argentavis leveled up on speed. Very fun to have!

If you’re on x box click R to pick up something small in it’s mouth you can actually carry 2 animals at once

If in the mountains with argys ankys you won't have to worry about sabertooths because these guys would be handling them this mostly applys to redwoods because the mountains are a bit more flatter

They are very good for transporting resources because of their weight reduction also they are like a portable smithy

They have 50% reduction on most heavy resources

These guys can’t be ridden in caves on mobile not sure about other flyers so not very fun

I realized on one of my mining trips to a mountain that the argie, once it has nothing but metal in it's inventory, will tell you how much metal ingots you are ging to get without you having to calculate it.

Argys are great for material runs on any minerals/ores, I usually grab an anky and fly towards one of the mountains. Any metal mined by the anky is kept for their 85% weight reduction, and any crystal or obsidian is placed into the argy. This duo make setting up a base much easier anywhere, due to the Argy’s smithy saddle and carrying abilities.

Build tree base at RW mountain area. Make 2W x 4L x 5H stone base, wall ceiling shack. Stone Dino gateway door. Food bin, Mortar & Pestal, few smelters, Argie and an Anky in there will fit fine. Fly over not through to get to. Use argie and anky to harvest metal, stone and flint. Make SP to fuel the smelter. Harvest berries for anky with anky and meat with argy. Come back later to haul metal ingots back to base. Also can collect sap taps while your there! Smelters will keep you warm at night. I’m solo in offline game single player “default” settings and this works well for me. You can also put smithy in there as it won’t hurt if need to drop storage or craft high saddles for faster trips. Remember! Fly over! Not through!

They can pick up Titanoboas, you may get bit once by the snake but after you pick them up they can’t really hit you, so you can peck them to death once you pick them up :)

Yo if you never want to die again dont explore alone. Take a mount with you! Argies are mu favorite mounts;

they can carry many heavy things that you cant (like metal)

They can pick up most animals (or players hehehehe) and transport them (like, for example, you find a unicorn. You can use an argi to transport it to a safe spot to tame it.)

They FLY! That means that you dont have to attack things if you dont want to. Like, you can just fly into the sky to escape. And you get places faster!

They level up stats FAST! It doesnt take very long to get the attack damage at 200. It doesnt take very long to get the health at 10000. And thats awesome!

They are carnivores. So, on the plus side, you dont have to spend time gathering berries for them. They have food whenever you kill something. But, on the minus side, that means they attack you in the wild. But then again, more pluses, THAT means you can tame them easier cause they will follow you into a trap!

These birds are found in mountains, if you want one, which you should BECAUSE THESE ARE THE BEST MOUNTS! In my opinion. Cough

Des dudes awsome on scorched earth like seriously their amazing 🦅😎😎😎

Starting at 83 82.5 (herbivore island) and ending at 25 26 (blue obelisk) my argy went through about 2,500 stamina while sprinting the whole way. It has 127.9% movement speed and 22% imprinting. Tested on ark mobile on The Island.

Either my game's bugged or these can't pick up anything anymore.

Seriously I can't even pick up a Dodo

Argentavis are amazing at getting metal or anything heavy

Make sure you have an argy dedicated to leveling up weight because Wildcard, in their infinite wisdom, didn't

make smithies with enough slots to craft advanced blueprints so you gotta use an Argy that can carry it all

Best travel Dino over long distance while being safe. You can store all your heavy mats like obsidian, crystal, metal, etc. Has a weight reduction so op for carrying over long distance.

Imma tame him cuz more good from pterodon(what ever he name)
