Tips & Strategies
Since I can’t find ANY info on if eggs such as rock drake, wyvern, and magmasaurs do better than giga. I experimented. (For those saying why waste expensive eggs like this, try your hand at the crystal isle map. I have tamed wyverns before even seeing a giga, and if your server has rock drakes on you’ll have more of those eggs than any giga eggs due to them rarely even guarding the nest they lay in and laying eggs super quickly)
My findings: they do very little to tame and can ruin taming effectiveness. A giga egg full tamed where a wyvern and rock drake egg did 5%. However, I can say they work great for boas. Hope this helps.
More Oviraptor Taming & KO Tips
Tame the lowest level one so you don't waste your eggs, no matter what level it is it will do the same thing
the oviraptor can steal eggs wiithout making the dinosuar that layed the egg angry just find a egg and lead it to the egg and it will pick the egg up!!! btw if u r planning to tame these they only eat eggs up if it is helpful!
Remember after taming they WILL EAT MEAT DONT WASTE ANYMORE EGGS ON THEM THEY'RE NOT LIKE TITANBOAS.
In ASA, the Oviraptor has a setting for egg collection, and a the egg laying buff is turned on while wondering is activated. So over weight them till they the eggs weigh them down. PS they eat meat once tamed. Just keep meat in troughs or eggs will become lunch.
Tried using Magmasaurs eggs but they are classed as other eggs and only gave 1%.
How to tame:
Step 1: FIND IT
Step 2: STEAL ITS CRAPPED OUT EGG
Step 3: BEAT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF IT
Step 4: FEED IT ITS OWN EGG
Step 5: CONGRATS, NOW CHUCK IT IN THE SEAAAAA
Encumber them so they don't move around
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.
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.
tame the highest level you can find if you want one that has any range for egg pickup. it is absolutely the level NOT the melee that increases range. so put your points on health. you also do not need to put points into weight either.
