Step 5: CONGRATS, NOW CHUCK IT IN THE SEAAAAA

Will make your creatures lay more eggs.

Oviraptors will only cover a set area, make sure you place it near the Dino's you intend on farming eggs from. Otherwise you may want to tame multiple ovi's for larger Dino pen's.

So their easy to knock out, taming it.....not that easy, they eat eggs. The larger the egg, the more efficient it tames. You can tell the size by the weight of the egg. These guys are very useful, put them on wander in your base, and they'll collect all your creatures eggs.

Don't like getting titanoba eggs your self drop this little dude in the swamp and follow it with a argy or quetzal and when it manages to get a egg swoop it up and you got your self a titanoba egg with out any harm done to you

Oviraptors do affect scorpions now.

Put points into melee. Makes their radius bigger for grabbing more eggs

For those who don’t know, this thing is a secret prime meat harvesting GOD! While I’ve been breeding argy for stats and mutations, I tend to get a lot of bad one, so I just kill them. This little guy (who’s making everything lay some more eggs) would run up to the dead body, and attack them. Nothing ever happened, he kept attacking till the body would eventually disappear. One day, the same thing was happening, and I got sick of it, so I grabbed the bird to move it. This thing harvested it. I was shocked. I checked it’s inventory, and it was LOADED! Cooked all of it as fast as I could.

higher levels increase range. NOT melee

you do not need to increase weight, it will pick up all eggs in its range.

make sure it has food in the trough or it will eat eggs. and yes, it prefers the big eggs over the small when it gets hungry.

the egg buff does work. load with rocks and put on wander. works even better if using mated pair of oviraptors. but buff doesn’t stack.

First off, if you're on official rates and you don't have access to a giga egg, get comfy cuz you're taming dodos for the next 2 hours. One male and as many females as you can. They have a chance of laying an egg every time they poop so even though you literally need like 200 for a mediocre Ovi, it still might be faster than waiting for another creature to pop out enough for you. Secondly, do find a way to trap it before you knock it, ANYWHERE that isn't near those dang ichthyornis birds. I had just knocked an oviraptor once when that bird swooped down and just like that I no longer had the amount of eggs I needed. It's happened with narcotics too. Just stay away from those avian beach bums. Third and last of all, the ovi will NOT hold all the eggs it needs to eat all at once. So you'll have to pay attention and keep adding eggs as it eats. This guy needs some serious babysitting while being tamed, but the buff is definitely worth it.

Breed them after you get a male and female it's easier than wasting eggs for taming

These will NOT collect eggs laid by tamed dinos. It increases the rate at which they are laid but are still required to be manually picked up. I was under the impression they collected tamed Dino eggs if set to wander in a Dino pen. THEY DO NOT

You'll read a lot online that says the weight of the egg determines the taming effectiveness gain. That is B.S.

An argent egg and a carno egg weigh exactly the same but the carno egg is worth about twice the tame percentage.

Note that oviraptors do NOT collect the eggs of your (tribe's) tames. Oviraptors are useful because they will collect wild eggs and will allow you to pick them up without aggro-ing any nearby dinos.

To use them, set them to passive and following you/your flyer, drop them near the egg, fly closer to it, then pick your oviraptor up after it snatches the egg. Fly to a safe place (if you're in dangerous territory) to collect the egg!

Get like 10 or more female dinos of choice (I recomend dodos) Then find bring a tame with high carry weight with you since a bunch of eggs will encumber you. Now go look for a Oviraptor (Level 1-5) Recomended because the higher levels mean slower taming. Now bola it then tranq it or beat it with club, once knocked out get the eggs from your dino and put it in the Oviraptors and (bring narcoberry or narcotic if needed.)

As of the release of Ark Survival Ascended, the Oviraptor can now pick up fertilized and unfertilized eggs within it's pick up radius!

Who thinks that these bois should get a weight redux on eggs cause hey weigh a lot

U CAN USE OVIRAPYORS TO STEAL WYVERN EGGS WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT!

For beginners or people who don't want to risk getting eggs from bigger dinos, just use dodo eggs since dodo's lay eggs so much.

Leveling melee increasing the range in which it can pick up eggs!
