If you are solo, or just starting out. The argy is the best bird to carry an anky around and farm metal. You can make some beastly birds too. When applying points, the numbers go up very nice.

I’m gonna be honest, these things are the best! I mean, I saw this thing on Dododex and did some research and found out it is really good. I tame a lvl 20 and her and I were best friends. They have INSANE weight reduction, they have great health, and great stamina. They aren’t the fastest, but they will get you to where you need to go with only a couple stops. Mine is now like lvl 85 and I use her to kill alpha raptors and alpha carnos. Keep in mind this guy only has 15 hundred health. Overall, this Dino is a wonderful tame and is easy to tame, it has many uses and is hard to kill once you get a saddle for. I don’t care if you like, but I hope this helped. ;)

Its saddle is a smithy. And has a 50 % weight reduction for many materials. Can pick up dinos(nothing larger than carno, I beleive) which you can kill with the argent, or bring it back to a taming pen. Much better stam and weight than ptera's.

After tlc 2 these guys are a must have for transporting metal, obsidian, and, stone as they have 50% reduction on these and poly. I suggest having a seperate argy for moving stuff with like 2.5k weight and stam

Can pick up things in it’s talons, AND it’s beak

Esta é a MELHOR ave para teres no ark, ela consegue carregar muito peso e é muito rápida e forte !!

Sem ofensas pteranodon (:

Undoubtedly the most important Tame on Official. Mobile Smithy, halves the weight of Metal, Crystal, and Obsidian. Can carry your Anky around and is the fastest way to farm Element dust with a Doedic in it's claws. Amazing tame.

This thing is a beast when tamed .

In Ark: Survival Evolved (mobile) Argentavis is one of the best aerial tame in the game.

It has a 50% weight reduction to some resources in the game, meaning you can carry twice as much the following resources:

-Black Pearls

-Crystal

-Metal

-Metal Ingots

-Obsidian

-Organic Polymer

-Polymer

-Stone

Its saddle also acts as a mobile smithy.

I recommend leveling up its multiple Argentavis for different rolls. I normally have two rolls, one to gather resources and the other for combat.

Resource Gathering Roll:

-Primary: Stamina

-Secondary: Weight

-Tertiary: Movement Speed

Combat Roll

-Primary: Health

-Secondary: Melee

-Tertiary: Stamina

They can carry the following creatures:

-Human

-Dodo

-Dilophosaurus

-Kairuku

-Oviraptor

-Lystrosaurus

-Compsognathus

-Mesopithecus

-Jerboa

-Titanomyrma

-Dung Beetle

-Araneomorphus

-Titanoboa

-Phiomia

-Pachycephalosaurus

-Raptor

-Terror Bird

-Castoroides

-Pulmonoscorpius

-Beelzebufo

-Megaloceros

-Direwolf

-Sabertooth

-Arthropluera

-Procoptodon

-Diplocaulus

-Kaprosuchus

And the last thing i can think of is when they eat a dead creature they gain a buff to regenerate their health and stamina faster for a few seconds.

How crafting argentavis saddle

I tamed like 3 of these last second so I can go home across the map with all the loot I wanted

Great carriers, but my base was in the artic so Argentavis was all around

Extremely effective for resource gathering. After you get a Pteranadon, taming an Argy is your next priority.

To tame an Argy, I highly recommend prime meat, but just regular meat will do. If it's a high level you can build a trap, but if your a real man like me, you can go up against it face to face

Do not use an Argy for flying distances. Argys are terribly slow and are made for resource gathering. Do the traveling with a pteranadon.

These are the best tame in the game

The reason rexes have a tek saddle is that rexes are famous. Same with megalodons and all the other things that have tek saddles. But really, let's be honest, almost nobody has tek saddles. You have to complete a hard dungeon to get a blueprint, or pay big bucks! At least those are the two ways i know of. Im on mobile btw. Really, argy's and spino's should get tek saddles, (you can find more info on argy tek saddle idea in argy, somebody left a tip about it, it has lots of likes so it's at the top too.) Because they're REALLY useful tames to have, in my opinion. I actully on two of each. Im going to put this tip in argy, spino and rex, so you will see it there. Please ^ if you want argy's and spino's to get tek saddles!

Argentavis are your best friends when it comes to ark, as they are helpful in so many ways such as harvesting meat, taming other creatures & so much more.

They can pick up medium sized creatures and even have a healing ability when harvesting a dead body (only happens when your riding the argentavis or when your argentavis eats a body by itself.)

Argentavis also have a weight reduction of a lot of resources such as metal, obsidian, crystals and much more. Argentavis can also go long distances if you put points into stamina, they may not be the fastest flyer but I'd rather carry stuff in my Argentavis's inventory than running from a pack of raptors on foot.

And on top of all that, argentavis can be extremely tanky when it comes to combat, they have high damage and a lot of health.

Level up your Argetavis’s weight and Stam so they can transport your tames around the map

Fun fact: just like the castoroides saddle their saddle is also used as a smithy.

They can normally carry two creatures, one in the beak and one in talons. Or technically 5 because one in beak, player in talons, creature held by player in talons, rider, and creature held by rider.

I built a trap, intending to trap the bird in it, but I ended up trapping myself in it, and shooting the bird from the inside! 😂😂😂

Sooo. Today my Argent glitched in to the sky lord cave. How an argy can squeeze into the opening is beyond me. I couldn’t access his inventory or ride him. I guess Scout (her name) flew into a pit and was killed. All I could do is watch the 5k damage pop up and gasp. I lost over 500 obsidian 200 polymer and 500 crystal. I did however gather the artifact but now I’m stuck in the snow biome with no way home. RIP Scout.
