What is a crystal wyvern used for? crystal wyvern battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Tropical wyverns spawn near the beach and have a water buff, like the spino, blood wyverns spawn in the forest that has red trees and also the red trees can give charcoal and blood wyverns can drain life from other creatures/ tames/ people and give your blood wyvern health if it is hurt at all. Ember crystal wyverns just breathe fire, blood and ember crystal wyverns are better for pvp. I recommend, if you have it, use the bone wyvern skin so they can’t tell what type of crystal wyvern it is. Good luck on taming them! (I play on Xbox so I can’t tame them :( )
To get Primal Crystals, you must knock out a Crystal Wyvern and harvest Primal Crystals off their back. Once you’ve harvested once, it’ll take about an hour for the Crystal Wyvern to "recharge" and allow you to harvest more.
The number of Primal Crystals that you can harvest from a Crystal Wyvern increases with its level. A level 1 produces 2 Crystals, and it increases by 2 at roughly every 7 or 8 levels.
Lvl 1: 2 Primal Crystals
Lvl 10: 4
Lvl 20: 6
Lvl 30: 8
Lvl 40: 12
Lvl 50: 14
Lvl 100: 28
Lvl 150: 52
Lvl 200: 54
Lvl 300: 80
Lvl 400: 108
The Crystal Wyvern has an extremely high torpor depletion rate — one of the highest in the game — so it will not remain knocked out for long. You might consider trapping it in a cage so that you can harvest it again later.
Crystal isles is definitely the map for running drops! With one of these guys (preferably tropical because of their hydration when they hit the water which buffs their speed) you can get loads of good blueprints super easy by just flying around the map picking up all of the drops you see! Using this method I easily got loads and loads of amazing blueprints in just 1-2 hours, including a mastercraft crossbow blueprint and an ascendant flak chest blueprint, among loads of good saddle blueprints! Please spread.
Basically if you like the glow of wyverns you would want to learn some stuff I found out so...female wyverns glow brighter if needed to know.. they also seem a bit bigger. Now besides that I wish on tropical wyverns we could swim in with the wyvern it needs a bit work for how they function...but otherwise it’s good!
TRANFERRING IS POSSIBLE! I uploaded all 3 of my passive tamed crystal wyverns into the obelisk & transferred them to Ragnarok & The Island w no issue whatsoever. I didn’t try cryopod transfer, as doing that makes me nervous & I don’t like to risk it. But transferring through the obelisk works.
