Got 3 poison dragons in one egg(1% chance of happening). Poison dragons need serious buff.! Lightning is by far the most powerful.!

🐲 Basics of Wyvern Raising

Wyverns in Ark can’t be fed like normal dinos while growing — they require Wyvern Milk until they reach adulthood.

Key Timings Depend On:

• Maturation Time (Total time to become an adult)

• Baby Food Drain Rate

• Food Value of Wyvern Milk

• Server settings (e.g., maturation speed and food drain multipliers)

⸻

🕒 1. Base Maturation Time

In official rates on Ark: Survival Ascended:

• Wyvern total maturation time: ~3 days, 20 hours (~92 hours total)

• At 100% maturation, the phases break down to:

• Baby: 0% – 10% (first ~9.2 hours)

• Juvenile: 10% – 50%

• Adolescent: 50% – 100%

These times are faster on boosted servers (e.g., 2x maturation = ~46 hours total).

⸻

🍼 2. Wyvern Milk Feeding Details

• One Wyvern Milk restores 1200 food.

• Wyvern babies have around 350 food when born (varies by type/level).

• Food drains at around 0.1 food per second on official rates.

🧮 Feeding Interval Calculation

Formula:

Time Between Feedings = (Food Value of Milk) / (Food Drain per Second)

Example:

1200 food / 0.1 per second = 12,000 seconds ≈ 3.33 hours

✅ So, you should feed your baby Wyvern every 3–3.5 hours on official settings.

⸻

⚠️ Tips to Manage Feeding

• Milk spoils in 3 hours unless refrigerated or in a preserving bin.

• You can cryopod the Wyvern to pause food drain (great when offline).

• Starve-timing works: Let food drop to ~0 before feeding to avoid waste.

• Always have 1–2 spare milks for emergencies or server lag.

⸻

🔄 Adjusting for Custom Server Settings

If your server has a different maturation or food drain rate, plug those into the equation:

Feeding Interval = (Milk Food Value) / (Food Drain per Sec * Drain Multiplier)

You can use online calculators like Dododex or ARK Smart Breeding for tailored data.

🧠 Summary

Aspect Official Values

Total Maturation ~92 hours

Baby Phase Duration ~9 hours

Food Drain Rate 0.1 per second

Wyvern Milk Food 1200 per milk

Time Between Feedings ~3.3 hours

Feed every 3–4 hours during the baby stage, keep milk cold, and monitor food closely. Let me know if you’re on custom rates, Travis, and I can calculate exact feeding times.

Who thinks we should be able to store wyvern milk in the fridge because it doesn’t make sense?

I must be built differently or something, because my second or third flyer is ALWAYS a wyvern, ( I don’t play official , but still….i steal wyvern eggs with no fear (mostly) on Pteras, Moths, yes, you heard me, MOTHSS!

And after all of that, I use my wyvern once it’s hatched and grown up, to tame Argys so I can get progress really going,

I tame Argys, no, really just any flyer that isn’t the Tropeo with my Wyverns, just by chasing them when they run from me and hopping off and shooting at them off of my wyvern in midair, it’s so fun to do aswell and costs absolutely no resources, and every attempt I’ve made has been 98% successful so far!, minus 2 Griffins that died..one fell in water because I underestimated how high it’s torpor was at the time…

But anyway, can’t be the only survivor who’s this insane, correct? Am i right or am I right?-

Use net guns to take down queens the knock them out for easy wyvern milk

If you live near an obelisk you can store milk, prime meat (or really anything) indefinite inside on a single player world by taking the iteam out in a different world than you originally got it than putting it back into the obelisk and than accessing that obelisk in the original world.

I stayed up 5 days to tame this... What has my life come to... Yes someone put me out of my misery

The most discreet way to snatch some if you have cryopods

Tame a Oviraptor

Craft a grappling hook / wing glider/ climbing picks

Put ur oviraptor in a crypod

Get some camo drip

Fly to the trench

Go find a good egg

Uncryo your oviraptor

Put it on follow

Watch it pick up the egg

Take the egg from it and crying it again

Discreetly leave the scene

This is the strat on single player…

1) First you tame any expendable flier of any level (for me it was a lvl 44 lymantria)

2) fly to the edge of the wyvern trench, far enough away as to avoid aggravating any belligerent wyvern. There you will place down a sleeping bag and a storage box for food, clothing, weapons, and a cryopod containing an escape dinosaur (for me I used my lvl 120 Argent.)

3) find egg, fly out of the trench and over to the opposite side of where you put your sleeping bag and storage box.

4) let the wyverns kill you and let your sacrificial flier become a martyr for humanity

5) respawn at sleeping bag near the wyvern trench and un-cryo your Argent.

6) once the wyverns that followed and killed you and your sacrifice have dispersed, retrieve your item cache that you dropped when you died and obtain your egg.

7) Fly back to your base and hatch/raise your wyvern, with either wyvern milk or the daedon strategy.

If you use daedon strategy, prepare a truckload of food for your daedon beforehand so that it can heal your baby wyvern.

If you use wyvern milk, either go back to the trench and find a lone female wyvern, grab its attention and shoot it with a net projectile and tranq the freak out of it until it is unconscious. Grab milk and leave. If you are lucky you may find the occasional lone wyvern that spawns outside the trench. Use same strategy here as you did at the trench. The best thing about finding a lone wyvern outside the trench is if you remember where it is, you can come back and repeat the same process.

Thanks to this strategy I now have a lvl 76 female poison wyvern named Petra. Now others can see a relatively easy way to obtain a wyvern egg

So two things:

First, I have a cobalt blue lvl 185 lightning baby that has amazing stats that I can’t wait to breed.

Second, while it was maturing, I conducted an experiment with the lightning wyverns lightning attack to see what the torpor could do.

I took my lvl 245 black lightning with 603% melee and basically just went to town on my fire wyvern of the same lvl with 25k health. It took maybe five hits before it did enough torpor to knock my fire dragon out(that’s 10k torpor…), and it only had 4k health left.

So yeah. There yall go. Hope it was interesting😂

Just to warn you on an official sever it will take 5hrs to hatch. 9hrs 15 min for baby to juvenile. 37 hrs from juvenile to adolescent. And 46 hours 17 min to get to adult

Easy way to start a wyvern farm.

1)Get a Daeodon and make sure you have a lot of meat.

2) get a wyvern egg

3) hatch wyvern egg

4) keep baby wyvern near Daeodon and turn on its healing ability

5) Keep the Daeodon feed and it will heal the wyvern to keep it from dying

6) repeat from number 2 on (I recommend you use a wyvern for getting wyvern eggs once you have one)

Remember, you can't die if your healer never stops spamming cure wounds on you no matter how much life hurts

IF YOU HAVE BOBS TALES, the barrel is extremely useful and can preserve milk in a sealed barrel for like 18 hrs also with the help of some preserving salts

I just hatched a fire wyvern, and it’s super cool looking… completely white with wings that start out light orange and deepen into red toward the tips! Kinda looks like an alpha without the glow😆

Can you get lightning, ice etc on console? 😅

Make sure to knock out female wyvern before hatching the egg because they drink wyvern milk until 10% mature and they they may starve without it. And to hatch the egg you need 15 campfires and more at night. Hope This Helps anyone who hasn't got one!

Be careful when using the poison breath. It has a large AOE and can cause you to kill yourself. My advice: keep it at a long range.

There's a way to raise baby wyvern without milk: must tam a snow owl or daedon and keep healing the baby until its fully grown. Your wyvern won't die trust me bro 😀. I would recommend tam a daedon for auto healing than snow owl, guess nobody want to take care a baby only.

I used my good argentavis to kill them just attack one and fly in circles like a snow owl attacking a wild argentavis.

Yall are gonna think I’m totally lame for some of this, but it’s good for everyone to know how other people go about taming these things.

First, I’m on mobile, and when getting a wyvern proved wayyy too hard on scorched earth, I bought ragnarok specifically to tame one of these. I ground xp, found a good ptero and found the world scar in rag, ventured in and got brutally murdered, even though I had my player resistance up to max so I was “untouchable”, then I met a poison wyvern. Turns out they kill you a different way than the others.

So, I die, thinking it’s all hopeless and sad and I’ll never get a wyvern, so I start to build a teeny little base, then I find out about the crystal cavern… a heavenly place supposedly filled to the brim with wyvern eggs.

I venture in timidly with my only tame(a lvl 212 ptero) and I go searching. Nothing. I narrowly avoid the wyverns in there and I get out alive to try again another day.

Finally, I go again. This time, I hit it! A lvl 55 lightning wyvern egg! Not the level I wanted, but definitely the element I wanted. So I yoink it and leave, barely escaping the clutches of the angry wyverns on my tail.

I set up 16 camp fires and get the egg incubating… now I need to knock a female for milk, cause I can’t use cryopods… not enough keys.

I venture out with my ptero to go find a female… well, they spawn like crazy in front of the crystal cavern as well as inside of it, so I start by leaving my ptero somewhere safe while I go with a standard bow and tranqs to go see if I can knock a female. Well, I get killed by a poison wyvern again, and so does my ptero.

Misery and sadness, and fifteen minutes left on my incubation timer. I go back out with a standard bow in lvl 85 ptero to find an alpha wyvern!!!

I decide I’m going to cheat for this one since I need the milk, and I turn the Dino resistance down to 400000x damage and I use my ptero to knock it out of the sky, killing the ptero in the process. I get my milk, and I literally run all the way back home 1 and a half minutes before my wyvern hatches.

I crafted a preserving bin and now I’ve got 45 milk for my lil baby!

Mind, I cheated slightly,(a lot) just due to wanting one to try it out. I don’t have god console, but I mess with the settings to benefit my player and tames if I need to.

I ground to lvl 100 and i have the most basic tools: stone hatchets and picks and good ole bow and arrow.

I hope you guys enjoy my story. I’m not a regular cheater, mind. I’ve built a very powerful stronghold from scratch before, have tamed gigas and carches the hard way several times, rhynios, you name it. This is my first wyvern!

If you’re having issues finding eggs, the crystal cavern is the only place I’ve found them so far, so try it out. But watch out, wyverns are extremely strong and scary. If I’d been doing it the hard hard way, (the easy way is still realllly hard) it would’ve taken so much longer. These beasts do not get trifled with for no reason.

Good luck, fellow players!!!
