Tips & Strategies
These guys are so useful but also take so much to get. If you want one you’ll probably want to get the egg(s) ahead of time, and then set apart a day or two dedicated to looking after them while they hatch and grow. Always have milk on hand (gotten by knocking out female wyverns of any type), it can’t be put in a fridge however, so make sure you have a working preserving bin or three to keep it (and unless you’re hatching 3-4 wyverns, some of it will spoil even in the preserving bin, so make sure your supply isn’t gone by the time you want to use it). Usually on servers a wyvern trap will be built near their spawn and it can be quite easy to lead them in with a fast flier (I recommend a pteranodon) and knocked down with tranqs. The milk can be found in their inventory (usually regular female wyverns will have 5, however if you manage to kill an alpha of any gender you can get 50) and used whenever the baby/juvenile/adolescent wyvern gets hungry.

People usually try to put the milk in a fridge for to make it last longer. It doesn’t let you. But I found out that you can put it in a preserving bin. Press that one good button so more people can see.
READ THIS IF YOU WANT A WYVERN
To have your own wyvern you need to steal its egg, so there is a few things you need to have to go for a wyvern egg:
1. You need a flying dino that is fast and has decent stamina.
2. Locate the wyverns’ cave in any map you play (Ragnarok, Valguero, Scorched Earth, etc.).
3. Go near the cave and stop to regenerate stamina.
4. Try to see hoy many adult wyverns are flying around the cave. If there are too many you don’t have many chances to successfully steal an egg
5. When you are ready, fly into the cave and take the egg (I recommend to take the first one you see, because if you stay too long inside the cave, wyverns might kill you).
6. FLY AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO GET OUT OF THE CAVE.
7. If you can get out alive, you have made the hardest part, but you have still work to do.
8. When you arrive your base, put down and light around 10 or 15 torches in a circle, and place the egg in the middle.
9. Wait for it to hatch.
10. When the egg hatches, you will have to take care of the wyvern until it grows. You have to do the things that the wyvern asks you to do. The hardest one is to give it wyvern milk. To acquire this you need to knock out an adult wyvern or kill an Alfa. BUT THERE IS A MUCH EASIER WAY. If you have cryopods, try taking your wyvern in the cryopod and then let it out. Sometimes it changes the thing that the baby is asking for.
11. Keep doing the things that your wyvern wants until it grows.
12. Congrats! You have a WYVERN!! :)
I tamed a 150 perfect argy, beefed him up to 20k health and 800% damage, straight up yoinked a level 165 wyvern egg(which i didn’t know existed, thought it went it 150), annihilated all the angry losers, hatched it, forgot I needed milk and it died, don’t be me
I got two eggs a fire and a lightning and to hatch I made a House and put a hole lot of fire places and they hatched and how I made the fire house I made it two stories tall and I put fire fill the hole floor I put a ladder so I could go up there make sure you have a lot of wood have fun with your wyvern
I got a level 150 lightning egg and I was so excited to hatch the egg...that when I went to put the egg down I accidentally ate it instead. :( ps4 users: R2 ISN'T GONNA DROP THE EGG YOU'RE GONNA EAT IT LIKE ANY OTHER EGG. REMEMBER THIS. LOGIC BEFORE EXCITMENT.
I'll give my two cents on how to raise one without wyvern milk, as it can be difficult for newer players.
ASE: If you don't have the means to kill an alpha or knock out a female for milk, use Daeodons. Make sure their inventory is filled with cooked meat. Once the baby starts losing health from starvation, use Daeodon's healing to keep it alive. I recommend making a cryopod as well, since the baby may ask for milk as an imprint, and this can help reset its need to something else. You can also cryopod it to make more cooked meat for the Daeodon if it runs out and just release it back later. This will not hurt the Wyvern or ruin the imprinting process, just freezes it. Snow Owls are also useful, though if you have a high level one for this then you're probably at a stage where you can at least safely trap a female wyvern anyways.
ASA: Bison milk. Yeah, it's very simple and much easier. Get some bison milk (have a female bison nearby a non-adult for her to passively produce it) before stealing an egg and then it can be used as a replacement for Wyvern milk. No need for Daeodons unless bison aren't on your map and/or you don't have any milk to transfer. In that case then it's back to Daeodons or Snow Owls.
Good luck, and enjoy these beautiful beasts!

If you don't have wyvern milk just tame daeodon so your wyvern will heal and won't die 😊 Press like so more people will know
The highest wyvern egg you can get is 190.get higher level eggs to hatch rather than low levels as high levels have more food and need to eat less often.
LIGHTNING WYVERNS ARE THE BEST 4 STEALING EGGS!!! They can outrun the fire and Poison Wyvern population of the trench and they are immune to lightning breath.
