Wild Elderclaw egg tending timers and info while using shovel.

-first you need the 6 tend items: Sap, Giant bee Honey, black pearls, bio toxin, ammonite bile, and leech blood

-It took 19 total tends to pop. No matter lvl ( i used 15, 90, 130)

-Shovel does effect tend timer ( took timer from 5 mins to 4:07 sec)

-First 5 tends is 4:07 min then it goes mildling

-2 after mildling is no timer then 1 at 4:07 min.

-2 after that double tend time to around 8:30 min, then goes to growthling.

-Next 3 after going growthling is no timer.

-Then last 1 was 3 min timer

- Total time was 45 mins with shovel and 300% greenhouse effect

Traits do pop out of eggs on wild baby eggs. And u can see stat of the wild lvl stat on the plant.

When grown if you dont miss any timers the lvl will come out like any hand feed 100% tame effectiveness. Like my 130 came out 195. As of right now x2 event does not effect wild eggs

For those playing on Xbox and you are trying to feed the freshly planted seedling 'baby' whatever its tending 'craving item' is:

Face the seedling, hold down the Y button to access a radial dial and then at the top of the radial is the item it wants to be fed. As long as you have it in your inventory, click on the item to feed it, and it'll remove it from your inventory.

When I looked at the seedling, it showed what it wanted to be fed, but it did not say what button to press to feed it, which is dumb. I couldn't find this info anywhere, and discovered this in a last minute panic trying to feed it.

1) Kill a wild Elderclaw and loot their seed

2) Plant seed in crop plot the way you would anything else (greenhouse effect, shovel, fertilizer, water)

3) It'll ask for cravings much like a dino carrying a rhynio baby. The ones I've seen so far are Black Pearls, Ammonite Bile, Sap, Biotoxin and Giant Bee Honey.

4) Once cravings are done it'll give you the option to harvest which turns it into a baby (babies seem to eat normal herbivore stuff to replenish food)

1) kill adult elder claw

2) get seed from corpse

3) plant in large crop plot that is irrigated, fertilized and has 300% greenhouse effect. It WILL NOT GROW IF THESE ARE NOT ALL MET

4) Complete cravings similar to a Rhynio implantation. Can be one of any of the following: Black Pearls, Giant Bee honey, Leech Blood, Ammonite Bile or Biotoxin. Only one is needed per craving.

5) once completed it will goce the option to "Harvest". The plant will disappear and a baby Elderclaw will pop up.

6) raise as normal on any herbivore raising method

Found on a lot of other maps not just valgero. Find one and kill it. Take seed and plant in large crop plot. I use fertilizer from dung beetle. Use shovel to shovel the plot to lower the timer in between plant cravings. Plant cravings are like 6 different things: ammonite bile bio toxin giant bee honey sap black pearls leech blood. It takes like 5 cravings for three stages each. First stage is seedling-5 cravings, then Midling-5cravings, then Growthling-5cravings, finally it will become a Fruitling. After it becomes fruitling you can open the action wheel and select the harvest button. When you select harvest the plant will turn into the baby elder claw, you can now go to the baby and imprint it and raise it. I’m using berries to raise. Good luck!
