Tips & Strategies

From personal experience I believe if you play on a PvE server that the Tapejara is best suited for hauling items around considering it has low boosts when you put levels in Hp or Attack. Therefore you should put most of the points if not all into Weight and Speed. It very mobile as well, since it can move forwards, backwards, and side to side. It also has a three person saddle it can be very useful in PvP. It is very fragile so be careful when you have tribe mates using the gunner seats if they accidentally hit the Tapejara and you may kill the bird. Especially be cautious with rocket launchers they will do heavy amounts of damage to the Tapejara. Also note it can be hard for your tribe mates in the gunner seats to aim if you put to many points into movement speed. I suggest pausing for a second to let them shoot then move to strafe enemy weaponry.

If this helps they can hang on red wood trees
This guy is the only way to solo tame a quetzal, get in the passenger seat and whistle it to the quetz, tranq the quetz and then whistle passive. Repeat and you got a quetzal.
This Dino is my favorite on the island for various reasons. First, it can hold 2 passengers, a pilot, and carry another. Second, it is the most maneuverable flyer out there. It can fly sideways, backwards, and can land on vertical surfaces (cliffs, redwoods.) Third, it has a tek saddle, so you can have four dubs on that thing (tek saddle, 2 passengers, and one carried person.)
If you are middle sky up qnd your tapejara stamina stamina runs out just change your seat and it will gain it stamina back up for noobs to seeπͺ
you donβt need to upgrade itβs stamina, if you are in the air and itβs stamina is low, just get in the back seat and wait for itβs stamina to recover, no need to land, if you donβt whistle it to follow, it will land automatically. I hope this helps :)
The tapeJara is bird that is able to land on the side of redwood trees grest for hiding or raiding tree platforms.
Tip for yur Tapijara!
If yur just simply flying acrossed the map and/or heading somewhere, losing stam can be really annoying. But, for yur Tapijara there is a solution!
When stam starts to get real low, tap the chair button on the side of the screen, hop to the back of her/him, and then tap it again. Once yur back in front, the stamina should have replenished!
This may only work for mobile players.
Thanks for reading!
