What is a crystal wyvern used for? crystal wyvern utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Same guy that made the “don’t know what category to put this in but oh well” tip on the wyvern page.
Three variants of crystal wyvern:
Tropical, weird steam breath, if you touch water it’ll get the same buff that Spinos do.
Ember, generally considered the worst wyvern in the whole game, just a fire wyvern that gets stronger the more you use its breath, needs lots of stamina to even be somewhat decent.
Blood, if you hit something with its breath attack it’ll siphon its health away to heal yourself, I’m pretty sure it also gets the same buff that argies do when you eat a corpse.
If you want a op fleet of wyverns read this.
First, tame about 10 wyverns (Tropical or Ember recommended) and beef them up to about 10k health if you can. Here are the priorities you have to make for the stat points.
Health always comes first so they can last longer
Then stamina so they can fly longer and fight longer
Then melee damage so they can do tons of damage.
I also would recommend a blood wyvern since they drain health easily. For a blood wyvern do health, damage and then stamina.
I hope this helps! Thats how to make a op wyvern.

They can't carry as many creatures as the original wyverns can, but that's really the only significant difference, and they're perfect for stealing wyvern eggs. A high level one will take less damage than a griffin, fly faster than a snow owl, and have more stamina than a pteranodon. I also use mine to kill alpha raptors and carnos for loot and xp.
I've seen a few neat idea's for abilities the tropical wyvern could have, since its ability to fly faster above water is very miniscule compared to the other crystal wyverns. To repeat a few neat ideas i found... it should get a speed boost when it's raining, it should be able to land on water (even if just shallow water), or even breath underwater for a slightly longer duration than most creatures (considering its breath ability is essentially spewing out really hot water at enemies). What if it could also glide along the water similar to a pelagornis. Maybe make raw prime fish meat a secondary feeding option (but less effective than crystal).
So these are a bit weaker than a normal wyvern, but they have their ups. Think of it like this, if a normal wyvern is the Rex of the sky, these are the allosaurus. They don’t have the same dps, but you get added mobility, and they are generally less hazardous to tame! A grapple hook and a stack of crystals will easily secure you your place in the skies!
