Who thinks there should be juvenile wyverns that are leaning the ability to breath fire poison or lightning

Wyverns come in seven different types. The crystal ones aren’t listed here because of word limit. The fire (short range breath attack that sets creatures on fire and does % based DMG.), the ice (also short range breath attack that applies a slow to everything it hits.), poison (spitball attack that applies a straight up amount of DMG when it hits, depending on the melee stat of the wyvern, and leaves a gas cloud that does a tick of 10 DMG no matter what. The attack is long range and travels slowly, but is easy enough to aim when it doesn’t glitch and fly off in random directions.), and the lightning (long range, easy to aim attack that does straight up tick DMG, with no linger affect). All four of the wyverns listed above spawn on ragnarok. All but the ice spawn on scorched earth. And the ice and the fire both spawn on valguero. Corrupted fire wyverns spawn in extinction, but you can’t tame (steal an egg from) them. The occasional wyvern also spawns in the gauntlet missions on genesis.

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.

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?-

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😂

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.

May be a glitch, but Wyverns on Scorched Earth have been dropping only hide, sulfur and raw prime meat when harvested as of August 3, 2025.

Great source of prime meat though, around 60-100 per wyvern harvested!

Got a 100% imprint level 170, gets 700 health per upgrade and is on the same level as my giga. Definitely worthwhile.

Wyvern starvation formula. Why multiply food by 10 if you’re going to divide by 3600? Just multiply food as is by 360. Less steps same result. Good ol rythmitics

Their breath is extremely powerful. Just don’t dismount while the wyvern does the breath attack. Learned it the hard way.

Tame a Daeodon and enable healing to care for your baby Wyverns saves collecting milk! They do eat alot of meat when healing is enabled so so make sure you have plenty!

If you unmountwhile mid air you will just stand on top of it

There going to be breedable finally

These wyverns are immune to the fire attach ability "at least on Survival evolved". Killed every single wyvern in the trench with my wyvern.

Fire wyvern: best looking, most fun.

Lightning wyvern: weirdest looking, most powerful.

Poison wyvern: scariest looking, most dangerous to riders.

#personalopinions

If using a poison wyvern, wear a gas mask to protect yourself.

If you can get a high level lightning wyvern than you will be near unstoppable. You just need to upgrade health,melee,weight,and most of all stamina. Do all that and you will have an alpha killer and a prime raiding dino.

Ps. DRAGONS????

Did you know?

A normal level 150 wyvern has 693 stamina and 516 weight and about 4000 food, while the level 150 crystal wyvern has 715 stamina, about 400 weight and about 3000 food. And the crystal wyvern can carry alot bigger dinos and a bigger diversity of dinos.

Thanks for using dododex and playing Ark.

When going to steal a Wyvern egg (this is for fire btw, i dont know what the experience is like for the other three kinds) *Obviously* wait till there are no Wyverns right near the egg, the go for it. Pick up the egg and run. If a Wyvern attacks you, DON’T FIGHT IT! It will inevitably lead to your demise. Just grab the dang egg and get the heck out of there! I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. Thanks for reading!
