Tips & Strategies
*Finding out you can tame dragons*
"YEEEEESSSSSSS DRAGONS YEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSS"
Wiki: "You must go into its nest with a fast bird, steal an egg, run away from 50+ wyverns trying to kill you, go back, get a female wyvern, knock it out, get its milk to feed your baby wyvern, raise your baby wyvern for many real life days, never sleep, starve, make sure you got lots of milk, get arthritis, play non-stop, never see society again, boom you have yourself a wyvern."
"Fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....."
If you are solo, cryopod the wyvern when you go to bed so it doesn’t starve, and throw it out when you can check on it and feed it.
It seems that if the babies food gets low enough the milk gives 2400 food instead of 1200. Make sure you wait to feed your babies!
Pro tip for Ragnarok, do NOT waste your time in the trench. There are many MANY wyverns there and it is much harder to lose them. Instead go to the south center of the map next to the desert and go into the wyvern cave. Coming from the south, it’s to the left of a waterfall just behind a rock (you’ll have to fly low to the water to get in. Once inside, stay out of the aggro range of the wyverns by the entrance and aim for the large pillar in the center. You’ll find all of the nests in this center area and if you got past the wyverns at the entrance, you have time to check the eggs and find your desired level & type. Once you have it, fly back to the entrance of the cave, and make your escape.
The escape is quite simple, once out of the cave, go straight up the waterfall and into the small cave where the stream is flowing. Follow that stream to the exit of the small cave and make your escape. You may also use this cave to enter the trench largely undetected (this is what I do).
Once you have the egg, you can either trap a female, narc it, and get milk. Or you can do it the easy way and cryo the baby when it asks for milk, which will reset what it asks for.
*NOTE: I go completely naked on a throwaway Pteranadon with AT LEAST 450 stamina. Usually I don’t even get hit because I use the C Spin to get back out of the wyvern cave, but you’ll want that stamina to ensure the longest flight time possible and a safe getaway*
Hope someone finds this helpful! I know I would have.
Wyverns will become breedable on November 7th!!
If you are looking too get a lot of wyvern milk you need too kill a alpha wyvern and harvest it's body it will give you 50 milk
For the new players:
Ice wyverns freeze you which slows you down but it is the weakest wyvern
Fire wyvern does burn damage over time with breath attack
Poison wyverns can be very dangerous as their breath attack ignores armor
Lightning wyverns are the strongest wyvern in the game, however their breath attack costumes a lot of stamina
Tropical crystal wyverns aren’t the best for mele but they get a boost when touching water
Blood crystal wyverns heal themselves when they hit tigers with their breath attack
Ember crystal wyverns are similar to fire wyverns with the same breath attack
-Hope this helps!
BABY WYVERNS CAN BE FED WITH MAEWINGS!
Rip people trying to steal an egg after the flyer nerf ;-)
Hatching: you need a very hot area. Use standing torches in a circle (10 to 15). Or build a room with a lot of air conditioners.
Imprinting and baby survival: Make sure you have wyvern milk. They only consume that for food when babies. You have to manually feed it to them until they are juvenile. It is also the only food they will ask for during care. Also set the follow behavior to lowest and disable wandering in case they wanna walk.
Wyvern milk can be obtained from knocking out a female wyvern and looting her. You get 5 milk. Doesn't respawn on same female.
Alpha Wyverns can be killed and looted for 50 milk.
Milk can be stored in preserve bins but not fridges.
Wyverns have 3 attacks. 3rd attack changes from flight to ground. Primary=bite, secondary=breath, tertiary(flight)=pick up creature, tertiary(land)=wing flap that pushes back enemies and knocks down trees(collects thatch more than wood)
No saddle needed. Friends can stand on back. Dismount doesn't throw you.
When you search for eggs try to always take another person and eat cactus broth to help you be noticed less. Dont forget to give your bird cactus broth also. Very important
Tame a rock element; an easy tame once trapped in gates, and you’ll be king/queen in the wyvern trench. Even with a low level, you can walk through the lava like a boss, kill all the wyverns, and then have enough eggs to fill a fridge. The only trick to not getting the rider killed is to look down and have its back to the wyvern as it’s flying in close. That way the rock element blocks the fire/lightning ranged attacks. Once the wyvern is in punching distance, it rarely uses its ranged element attacks.
DO NOT DRIP EGGS, THEY DONT DESPAWN AND IT STOPS ITHER EGGS FROM SPAWNING
If you want the easiest way to grab an egg, just get a Fjordhawk to tag along and die instantly after you get an egg, the Hawk will bring you all your stuff
To the dude who said to force feed them meat, I paired this with a snow owl to be safe and I have raised 5 wyverns with this trick even on my new Ragnarok sever with no snow owl. It works.
Wyverns are not that hard to get if you know what your doing. Get a fast flying dino, location the wyvern trench/cave, if there are not a lot of wild wyverns go and steal the egg, than fly as fast as you can out of the trench or cave and fly close to the ground to try and get the wild wyvern's agro on something else
Tameable they are not
Where they live is so hot
Get an egg to hatch them
If not then live without them
