Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a microraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a microraptor.
This little birdie will knock you off your mount. He is a must tame for pvp servers
You can trap them in wooden cages apparentally ive got a super angry little dude held captive right now. Kinda scared lol
A single rare flower will tame up to a level 150. They are incredibly fast, use tranquilizer darts or shock darts. Beware the stun and ability to knock you off your mount.
Insanely good at knocking people off of tames.Also just Bola it and knock it out.
These romanticraptors get jealous and rip you off another tame but you can win them over with a nice flower
Easy way to tame.
Just used this method to tame a level 145 male
1.Trap in a wooden cage
2. Knock out with tranq arrows
3. Feed it 1-3 rare flower
4. Name your new friend
These little guys normally see you before you spot them. But go into an area with a good horse and when they start to circle you to try and knock you....start kicking! I actually Ko'd one at random and tamed her up. Actually a beautiful baby I named Fifi, a suitable name for an ankle-biter! XD
One rare flower and they're yours no matter what!
While yes they are super ennoying, they are sooooo cute as tames
I tamed one on the Halloween event,I know a lot of people hate these but they are really fun when you get to know them.Anyway I didn’t name my microraptor but I loved him dearly.Sadly he died Cuz I didn’t feed him😔RIP microraptor I will miss you
More WORDS
All you have to do is sneak up and bola it , then hit it with tranq darts or arrows , then you have your very own chicken , good for pvp , not very useful in pve , for easy tame feed it rare flowers
I just taned one today all you need is to bola it give it like 29-15 and 20 narcotics!
Many confuse these with the archaeopteryx. The micro raptors have singular head crests, whereas the archaeopteryx only have head feathers. The micro also has a flat cluster of feathers on the end of its tail, archaes have feathers along each side instead of at the end.
Get off of your tame with a bola ready, and once it runs at you, bola it and knock it out. One rare flower will tame nearly any level with no narcotics, but anything else will require some maintenance
Easiest tame all you have to do is bola it and knock it out it’s hard to hit with a bola though
Bola one and use trans dart to knock out. Only took 1 rare flower for a level 145
They are easy to tame if you can knock them out and if your on ragnorock.
Use a bolo on them, makes them infinitely more manageable. I always carry at least 5 bolos
I hear on standard servers it only takes 1 rare flower to tame a 150. I can confirm it does at 2.5 (5x old rates) rates at least. Also they look almost identical to Archas almost, especially at a distance or while mounted.
They only stun you if your on a mount, to tame go on foot.
If you are attempting to tame one or one is running up on you(pending no preditors are around) dismount as they fly around you, they will not stun and you can throw a quick bola. They are pretty weak downed a 174 with 2 darts from a 161% rifle using this technique. Great in pvp to terrorize people, I personally use them for kibble and they are just neat shoulder mounts.
