What is a maewing used for? maewing utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Special controls (Xbox) for maewing:
R3 whilst in air(sprint button) to glide
Glide onto ground equals sliding, ground-gliding
Will lay basic-Exceptional eggs (Basic Egg Exceptional Egg)
Will nurse children and imprint them automatically (pair with egg incubator for best results)
Transgender, meaning you don’t have to get a male or female, just get two
It’s movement is insanely fast, good for goin around places
I think the Maewing has been somewhat nerfed lately, it's rated 3.9 for Berry gathering on here yet its AOE for gathering from bushes is incredibly poor, I've tried with 2 now and both of them need you to get directly on top of a single Bush to gather from it and even then sometimes it doesn't work, I found I was faster gathering berries by hand...
For breeding however these things are incredibly useful for raising babies in bulk as they have the ability to act as a feeding trough for babies until they reach juvenile and can access a normal feeding trough.
Maewing make for incredible berry harvesters. Press alt-fire(right click, L2, LT) and while in midair, mash primary fire(Left click, R2, RT) and when the attack lands, the belly flop’s radius will harvest berries. It doesn’t harvest them a lot at once per node, but it can reach many, many nodes in the time it takes Stegos to make it to a handful. Plus, it has weight reduction on all forms of baby food(Meat, Berries, etc.)
This creature is not a Nanny, it will not imprint for you, but it will act as a feeding trough for babies, you have to supply food in it thu and enable feeding, it can carry 3 or 4 babies on its saddle but they can be hit and die from fighting so take care, in PvP it can steal enemy babies and claim them for your own, lastly its super fast glider and can jump very high.
