I hope you have a t of bio toxin and narcotics because when I used rockarots it only went up by 7.9 percent.
Quite possibly the most useful animals in the game imo. It is much more than a wood gatherer. It is a mobile smithy. Anything you can do on your smithy at the base you can do on your beaver. Repair tools, craft behemoth gates, etc etc.
No need to worry that these beavers will drown during taming. Had more then one run out into the water and fall asleep with no bad consequence to the taming.
Can also be carried by Argentavis
When you knock it out just keep in mind that it wakes up fast, but also make sure you kill all the others in the area because they can end up swarming you.
Bring many narcotics, i mean A LOT. Don't leave it alone either because the torpor drops faster than a stone in water
My level 10 was at 92% with full unconscious and woke up. Make sure to guard your beaver and keep watching him
Just bola it and and knock it out and feed it carrots .berries take a long time and make sure you have loads and loads of narkotics or narcoberries the torpor goes very fast
Pick it up with an argentavis hop off in mid air and shoot the heck out of it, if your argie lands, hop back on and try again
The bad thing about these guys is that once tamed they cannot build any more dams
Didn’t see this mentioned so I’ll share so someone else doesn’t panic like I did lol
Always bring some kind of torpor adding substance with you when taming if you don’t have/can’t make the kibble. If you’re taming with crops or berries, you’ll have to add narcotics or narcoberries etc to keep them out because their torpor drains faster than the time they’ll be tamed in. :) I’ve gotten a couple during the summer event now both under level 100 for the neat colors and used over 200 narcotic between the two? 🥴 Don’t remember the first, but used 110 on the level 70 I just tamed while writing this & had 97.5% taming effectiveness. ^_^b
If you wanna tame one. Be sure to have citronal and narcotics (LOTS). Probably 120 or more for a level 100 and above. Though if you wanna tame in 40 mins and use 70 narcotics, be happy if you've got 10x soothing balm.😄
I once had a Rex (forgot what level) and I took it over to the dams in valguero and it nearly Died to beavers.
I literally just used a bow and arrow, some tranqs and kept running backwards while shooting it leading it away from the water.
This little rodent is one of the best harvesters. They can harvest plenty of wood and thatch, berries, etc.. they also have excellent weight. They have decent melee damage, and here is how to get your own.
1. Make the kibble on whatever device your on.
2. Find this very big beaver. They are found around rivers and build dams.
3. Knock it out with tranq darts
4. Feed the kibble and a bunch of berries (use bio toxin to keep unconscious)
5. If tamed, put the saddle on it and take it home.
6, extra information. Wild castorodies have a chance to have black pearls! But be careful, looking in their dam inventory makes them Argo.
It took me more time than my gameplay time to tame this MF. 🥴. And ate almost 30 of bio toxin
Because it's torpor was draining rapid fast.
We can't even look into other things because
We will need to feed it narcotics in seconds,
The fun was it was only lvl 4🥴🤣
It will eat ur ass if u loot iys dam
Feed it rockarrot it tames a little faster
