WYVERN GUIDE
Heck yes! Who hasn't dreamt of flying a majestic wyvern through the sky!? No one! That's who! The wyvern is an epic end game tame that assures air supremacy! With three kinds to choose from, their is probably one to tickle your fancy. Today's guide is going to help you obtain, raise and use these amazing creatures!
GETTING THE EGG
The only place to get a wyvern egg is in the World Scar. Here you will have to steal an egg from a nest in one of the alcoves in the wall. Since the flyer nerf, this has become much more difficult than it used to be. The best way I can think of to get a wyvern egg outside of trade would be to draw as many wyverns out of the World Scar as possible with a pteranodon, quetz or another dragon. Bring them to the desert and kill them with gigas, other wyverns or rexes as other players take as many eggs as possible. Out of these the only wyvern eggs I would keep would be 160 and above.
HINT: Do your best to pick up as many eggs as you can, even low levels, this will allow the Scar to generate a new batch of eggs so you have another chance to get high levels! Also, eat the eggs that are undesirable, if you drop them they will never despawn, which will confuse the game and cause the nest the egg came from to never despawn either and it will never generate another egg.
INCUBATION
Wyvern eggs must be kept as hot as possible! 20+ standing torches or 10 ACs are required to keep the egg at the correct temperature. The incubation takes about 5 hours on normal rates.
HATCHING AND CARE
Once your dragon hatches you must imprint on it, unlike most tames they will not need to eat right away. The only thing they eat while growing is WYVERN MILK! You obtain this milk by either knocking out a wild female wyvern (5 milk) or killing an alpha wyvern (50 milk) of either gender.
The best way to knock out a wyvern is to construct a trap by the scar and lure females in with a pteranodon or argie. The best type of trap I have used is a tall box made of pillars with one side made up of metal ramps that allow the wyvern to enter, but makes it hard for them to escape.
The milk spoils quite fast and only keeps in preserving bins so be sure to have some with preserving salt at the ready!
A single wyvern milk should be able to hold a wyvern over for several hours, so to avoid waste it is good practice to raise 2 to 3 wyverns at a time.
For imprints a wyvern will request milk instead of a random kibble, this goes towards its hunger so if your wyvern is about to imprint hold off on feeding it, just in case it wants milk for the imprint. And you will want to imprint! Aim for 60% or higher!
The wyvern takes only 4 days to reach adulthood.
USES FOR THE WYVERN
So now that your loyal wyvern is an adult you may want to know what exactly you can do with it outside of raids. The answer is almost everything! Depending on what you level up a wyvern can be amazingly versatile. For starters, a wyvern used for battle should have a good balance between melee, stamina and health, while a weight wyvern will obviously gain more from weight and stamina.
For your first wyverns you will obviously want something a bit more fighting based while farming wyverns will come later.
Post nerf, it is best to level a war wyvern in stamina, health and then damage, in my humble opinion at least. I like my dragon's stamina to be at around 850-950, health at around 10k-12k and damage as high as possible.
Flying a wyvern can be very difficult at first, their turning radius is like that of an 18 wheeler and they are as agile as a thrown brick, but with practice this can be overcome!
HINT: if you need to make a sharp turn while flying, let go of the dash button/key to pull a sharper turn.
FIGHTING ON AND ALONG SIDE WYVERNS:
While no where near as tanky and damaging as a giga or rex, the main draw of the wyvern is their breath attacks which can be used to devastating ends.
The breath attack of a wyvern is very dangerous as it will damage not only enemies, but allies as well, even the rider! (Jumping off the back of a wyvern before they have finished their breath attack will almost always kill the player! Also note that if you use the poison wyvern can kill its rider if the rider crosses into the AOE poison cloud!).
As stated above, each wyvern suits a different type of combat. With the poison being anti-personnel, the lighting being anti large tame and fire being a mix.
Here are the basics of the utility of each type:
•Poison: Typically green and with a viper-like face, poison wyverns are amazing anti-player dinos. They shoot a slow moving acid ball that explodes on impact in to a AOE cloud of gas that can kill a player in seconds. Great for taking players off of mounts and clearing out areas.
•Fire: A traditional looking wyvern that is usually red or orange, fire wyverns are quite balanced. They breath a medium ranged stream of fire at enemies, lighting them on fire and dealing DOT. Excellent against players and smaller mounts.
•Lightning: A purple or black wyvern with a wedge shaped head, they are excellent for killing large tames. Has a beam attack with good range that does massive amounts of damage and deals torpor.
It stands to reason as well that each wyvern is immune to the element that they represent, so fire wyverns cannot be lit on fire, Lightning can't be shocked and poison is unaffected by poison.
All wyverns have a knock back attack while on the ground ('c' on PC) that blows enemies back with a gust of air from their wings. Pressing 'c' while in air will make the wyvern grab and carry anyone or anything below it, provided it's not too heavy.
FIGHTING AGAINST WYVERNS:
A wyvern alone doesn't not need to be a difficult adversary. Since they do not benefit from a saddle's armor they are considerably more squishy than a rex or giga, and do less damage with their bite attack. In fact a low flying wyvern is an easy snack for a giga or group of rexes if you can manage to trap it.
Metal or flaming arrows are also a great way to take down a wyvern (flaming arrows do not work on fire wyverns), as well as RPGs (if you line up the shots right)
The most effective defense against wyverns is a minigun turret, as these will repeatedly nail the wyvern. Since the turret's rate of fire is 10 per second and it hits for 150 every time you can deal out up to 1500 damage a second to the creature. Ideally you should chain bola the wyvern and then ice it with the minigun.
TRIVIA:
•Wyverns are a type of mythical beast with two legs, wings and (traditionally) a barbed tail. They may or may not be considered a type of dragon.
•The poison wyvern uses all color channels, giving it hundreds of possible color combos!
•The wyvern elements seem to correlate to the colors of the obelisks/crystals in the ARK logo.
•The claws of each kind of wyvern is required to fight the Manticore boss on the Scorched Earth map.
That's all for today's guide! I wish you all luck in raising your first wyverns!
