Egg laying buff seems to work best and is kinda OP with a bunch of Maewing. I've had just one Mae with a bunch of other different female dinosaurs out and I've had the mae give 5+ eggs before even one from theri, ptera, oviraptor itself and anky. Plus Mae have all kinds of different eggs for kibble.

Description

Wild:

If you’ve ever felt weakness, that your goal is too hard to complete or that you can’t fend for yourself, then meet Oviraptor Philodator, because they feel you, as Oviraptor Philodator knows well not to take risks, and not without reason.

Oviraptor Philodator is much like us when we first start out our days on these very same ARKs; scattered, clueless, hungry, and just barely defenseless. These go as follows:

-Defenseless; Oviraptor Philodator possesses claws that are far too short to act as any real sort of weaponry, instead used to pick up its own eggs for moving them out of harms way, and its beak is just barely lethal to humans, despite only using it against them in the rare case they are curious enough to scoop up its unattended egg.

-Diet; Oviraptor Philodator is lucky it even has the abilities that it has, to be fair; preferring the eggs of other creatures over regular meat despite being a carnivore, and the only reason this is allowed to fly is due to a pheromone it uses to calm the creatures it has stolen eggs from, as well as to encourage quicker laying of future eggs. Were it not for this, Oviraptor Philodator would run the risk of being attacked on-sight. Oviraptor Philodator will only hunt insects if desparately hungry, similar to Quetzalcoatlus Conchapicem.

-Body and Appearance; Oviraptor Philodator already knows well to stay away from strange-looking creatures, as once a predator comes to realize it to be small and fearful, it will swiftly attempt to dispatch the Oviraptor in question. However, it is also incredibly afraid of humans, likely due to their larger size, lack of scaly exterior or beak, and their ability to fight. Considering the sheer fragility of Oviraptor Philodator, one can hardly blame its caution.

Domesticated

The standards for domesticating Oviraptor Philodator are rather strange compared to other creatures, in the sense that it will only eat eggs for the duration of this time period, however, how much progress in trust-building is random, yet dependent on the species the egg came from, as well as how long the Oviraptor in question has been around for (determined by the “leveling” system).

In particular, individuals of Oviraptor Philodator that have been around for longer will have been used to the wilderness for longer, and will need extra time to re-acclimate, regardless of the rarity of the egg in question (with rarer eggs tending to be tastier and therefore yield even more trust).

For this reason, a common approach used by many is to apply a soothing solution, like a Balm of some kind. This calms the Oviraptor in question down by letting it know that you are a friend, not a foe. Paired with the desired eggs and the Oviraptor Philodator in question will soon come to realize that you can be trusted.

It will also become brave enough to fight, having now-realized that it can survive dangerous encounters, and eat raw meat by extension. However, tamed Oviraptor Philodator tend to fall into 2 categories; either a breeding assist, or a housepet, especially if it proves to be the more typical, feable Oviraptor.

So therefore while the bravery of tamed specimens of Oviraptor Philodator is certainly appreciated, its not really necessary, is it? Whatever the reason, survivors will always find a reason to tame it, even if just because they want a rather odd-looking housepet.

2x2 thatch base with walls. Get a pteranodon, ride it, then carry a poor female dodo away. (Must be wild! Ovis can't pick up tamed creature eggs!). Drop dodo in the thatch base. Add a male dodo or two for the love boost. Repeat. Then once you feel like you have enough females, put oviraptor in the dodo coop set to wander. Ovi will auto-pick up eggs, making you have your own egg farm! Note: In mobile, you must be level 38 to make a pteranodon saddle.
