How You Get One

method, in order
Passive Unlike the elemental Wyverns, a wild Crystal Wyvern can be tamed — passively, with Primal Crystal.

Step by step

  1. Get Primal Crystal. It comes from Crystal Wyvern nests and from harvesting crystal in the wild; ordinary Crystal works too, but slowly.
  2. Approach an unmounted, un-aggroed Crystal Wyvern and feed it by hand. No tranquilisers.
  3. Keep feeding as the taming bar fills. Being hit resets your progress toward the tame, so clear the area first.

Also true

  • Crystal Wyverns also hatch from eggs, but stealing one is a convenience, not the only route — which is exactly what separates them from the Fire, Lightning, Poison and Ice Wyverns.

Holding it still

Chain BolaFired from a Ballista or Harpoon Launcher. Grounds flyers and pins them where they land.
Large Bear TrapSame idea as the Bear Trap, sized for the big stuff. Bait it into walking over one.

That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Ember Crystal Wyvern, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 416).

Every number in this card is at official 1× rates, with the fastest food. Taming speed and food consumption multipliers change all of it, and most servers are not on official — the calculator at the top of this tab takes your rates, a Sanguine Elixir, and every other food this creature will eat.

Effectiveness is what decides the bonus levels: every unit of food eaten costs a slice of it, so the food that needs the fewest units finishes at the highest level. That is why kibble is worth the trouble — not that it is much faster, but that it is fewer feedings.

Tame Guide

traps, methods & egg runs

For general information about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.

There are two ways of garnering a Crystal Wyvern: Either through raising from a stolen eggs from Heir variant of Crystal Wyverns from their nest (this can be circumvented with breeding two tamed/raised wyverns of the same variant), or passive taming them from anywhere with Crystal or Primal Crystal (the latter is quicker and more effective, but the former is entirely feasible).

Passive Tame Strategy

Crystal Wyverns (except Heirs and Alphas) can be tamed non-violently, rather than through the use of tranquilizers. They can be fed with Crystal or noDlcIcon=1 while nearby. Do be warned that they tend to fly fast, which makes it difficult to tame them without causing aggression. Using this way requires the survivor to be a minimum of level 65 in order to feed Crystal Wyverns; lower than that will prevent the survivor from actually feeding it. By placing a large creature in front of it, the player is able to jump on its back where it can remain with out moving and able to feed while the wild wyvern flies around making the tame of it very fast. Alternately, a survivor can use a Grappling Hook to be carried with the Crystal Wyvern as it flies; however, this method can be risky, as the survivor will take some damage as it weaves around. (It is strongly suggested Parachute be on the hotbar, or a Glider Suit Skin on the armor, for those daring enough to attempt this!). You can also pin them down with dino gates and feed them as needed. A wyvern trapped against some trees and a few dino gates is an easy tame target. A great way is to jump on their back between their shoulders then sit there while taming make sure to have parachutes in case you fall off, To get up jump on wings then jump up to shoulders. If you're using normal crystals it's highly suggested to only tame up to the level 90 Wyverns or below because the taming might not be effective enough for it to succeed before the taming bar starts to reduce again. Using this method it could need you from 32 up to 90 crystals to tame a level 90 Wyvern, depending on what kind of setting you are playing at.

Raising

Baby wyverns cannot be fed Raw Meat like most other carnivores; however, their food drops a lot slower. They require Primal Crystal to increase their food and may ask for it when imprinting. Primal Crystal gives 350 and NOT 1200 food to the baby Crystal Wyvern. A growing baby Wyvern will consume approximately 1 unit of food every 10 seconds, or 360 units of food an hour. This means that one feeding of Primal Crystal will sustain a baby Crystal Wyvern for about 58 minutes. As a Crystal Wyvern matures it eats slower like all dinos (ie. at 80% maturation, a Crystal Wyvern consumes about 1 food every 30 seconds).

Primal Crystal is obtained by knocking out a Crystal Wyvern, and the Crystal is simply harvested from the unconscious body. The amount of crystal inside the wyvern varies on their level, with higher levels more likely to have more crystal grown on it. It's possible to build cages in which to trap Crystal Wyverns to make harvesting them easier. Be aware that re-knocking out a trapped crystal Wyvern does not give any more crystal immediately. Crystal Wyverns regenerate their lost crystal every hour.

An important detail about newly hatched Crystal Wyverns (especially at lower levels) is that even though the maximum food stated in the creature's statistics might be several thousand, the maximum food the baby can actually hold might be less than 350 (the amount of food one Primal Crystal delivers). This means that lower level baby Wyverns will never eat crystal on their own, and will have to be force fed Primal Crystal until they can actually hold more than 350 food.

Utility

• Titan Killer: Bring a large army of blood crystal wyverns to quickly drain a titan's health (incredibly useful against the King Titan). It's best to bring a swarm of 25 health-bred blood crystal wyverns.

• All around Transport: Any wyvern, preferably tropical for the added speed. Little bit of weight, some stamina, and some health. You want them to be able to take hits just in case someone decides to attack you.

• Scouting Mount: Mostly only level stamina and health so you can escape if someone spots you and attacks. best for this is tropical wyvern

• Turkey Killer: the Blood variant can do good damage to Super Turkeys and heal at the same time. Super Turkeys have no damage reduction to its breath attack.

Magmasaur breeding: while Magmasaur needs 2 fire wyverns to breed on lava-less maps such as Ab or Val, they only need 1 ember wyvern due to double range of it's breath attack
