FIRE WYVERN

Яйца

Adult Fire, Lightning, Poison and Ice Wyverns cannot be tamed. To acquire a tamed Wyvern, the player must hatch a Fertilized Wyvern Egg, which comes in four varieties: Fire Wyvern Egg, Lightning Wyvern Egg, Poison Wyvern Egg, and Ice Wyvern Egg. These eggs must first be acquired by stealing from the nests of wild Wyverns, after which successive generations of tamed Wyverns can be bred, and traded between tribes. Stealing these eggs is not an easy feat, as the nests are often guarded by large swarms of adults patrolling the nesting grounds; inciting aggression from individuals just by getting too close, and the entire flock will give chase if an egg is successfully taken from a nest. Whenever a wild Wyvern tries to spawn an egg, it looks for the nearest possible (predetermined) location within a kilometre. Those predetermined locations can be checked on interactive spawn maps.

One method to steal an egg is to remove all items and auxiliaries, including armor and shoulder pets, and excluding the bare essentials like water, food and Medical Brew, at base, and take a decent-leveled Pteranodon, for which you have deemed expendable, with many levels into Movement Speed, and dive into the trench in search of eggs, never spending much time in any given survey to evade belligerent Wyverns. This is useful for gathering lone, high level Wyvern Egg, but not so much for grabbing large quantities of eggs in one go due to the Pteranodon's low Weight.

Unlike other tames which get level-boosted after taming, Wyverns do not, and the young hatch as the same level of the parent who laid the egg. To compensate for this, the maximum level of a wild Wyvern is 190. To get the best stats for your baby and establish a high-level breeding project, only the highest leveled eggs should be prioritized. Lower level eggs should still be taken, however, to encourage new eggs to spawn. These lower-leveled eggs do have a use, and aren't just inventory clutter; as they can then be used to make Extraordinary Kibble, the finest generalized taming food available.

Once an egg is in your possession, unlike most, Wyvern eggs require a lot of heat to incubate properly: having a temperature range of 80 to 90 °C / 176 to 194 °F. Placing down a large number of any heat-emitting object such as Standing Torch, Campfire, or Air Conditioner, will work, though this can require constant adjusting to account for changes in temperature as the time of day and the weather alternates (Air Conditioners specifically provide insulation rather than heat, and enough of them will ensure a stable temperature). Alternatively, the egg can be dropped near a Dimetrodon, which provides an insulation boost dependant on its Damage stat, though in most cases additional heat sources will need to be used alongside the Dimetrodon (though less than if a Dimetrodon is not used). Perhaps the best available option now would be the new Egg Incubator, which can safely store, incubate, and hatch up to 10 Wyvern eggs at a time, though with the condition that you have to manually set the temperature for the machine. Under perfect temperature stability, Wyvern eggs take 5 hours to hatch.

Выращивание

Newly hatched Wyverns cannot be fed Raw Meat like most other carnivores, and will only start accepting meat once fully grown. Before they reach the adult stage, their food bar drops slowly and they will only consume Wyvern Milk (and may ask for it when imprinting, regardless of age). To acquire the milk you need to feed your hatchlings, you must either kill an Alpha Wyvern (which provides 50 milk), or knock out a wild female Wyvern and harvest it from her inventory while she is still unconscious (this provides 5 milk at a time, but the milk in her inventory is restocked completely once every hour). Doing this is easier said than done, but the process can be made easy with the right equipment or tames.

To kill an Alpha Wyvern, you'll need a very powerful tame with lots of health, damage, and an attack that can easily hit a fast-moving and flying opponent. Alpha Wyverns can easily be identified at a distance by their size and the red glow that surrounds them. To knock out a wild female Wyvern for milking, you will need a Spyglass to identify the gender of a wild Wyvern from a distance. Once a female has been found; draw her attention by triggering her aggression, then lead her to a safe area where you can contain her. Following this, the best option is to bring her down with a Harpoon Launcher loaded with a Net Projectile, which will ground and lock her in a 1-Minute stun, during which she cannot attack and will be safe to approach. While netted, a cage of 3-4 tightly spaced Stone Dinosaur Gateway can be built to lock her in place even after the net breaks. From here, any various knock-out method you'd like can be used at your leisure.

Wyvern Milk gives 1200 food to the baby 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 Wyvern Milk will sustain a baby Wyvern for about 3 hours and 20 minutes. An important detail about newly hatched 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 1200 (the amount of food one Wyvern Milk delivers). This means that lower level baby Wyverns will never eat milk on their own, and will have to be force fed Wyvern Milk until they can actually hold more than 1200 food. As such, it is adviseable to only hatch and raise higher leveled eggs, as higher quality babies with higher food stats are easier to raise, and can contribute their higher stats to breeding projects once they reach adulthood.

If you don't have the resources to gather milk, It's actually possible to raise a baby Wyvern without it (though this can negatively impact imprint quality). Let the Food value drop to zero. At this time, the value for Health will fall and the Torpor will raise. Place a Daeodon nearby and set it to Passive Healing. This keeps the Health of the baby Wyvern up (or restores it) at the cost of providing the Daeodon with food, as healing makes it very hungry. As an alternative to feeding the Daeodon tons of Raw Meat or Prime Meat that will spoil over time, you can produce a lot of cheap Kibble, such as Basic Kibble made of Dodo eggs, which will provide 90 food and only spoils after 3 days. This strategy is more effective when used with high-level Wyverns and Daeodons because they have higher starting values for Food and Health, thus more reserves before they run out. Alternatively a Snow Owl’s healing ability can be used, but this is more difficult, as the Owl must be ridden to force it to heal, and this can cause timing difficulties with feeding stimulants to the baby.

In ASA, one can obtain Bison Milk from female Bison located on Ragnarok to raise wyverns, so long as there is a baby/juvenile/adolescent Bison in the vicinity. Bison can be milked once per hour on servers, or 15 minutes in Singleplayer. Bison milk can also be used to imprint in place of wyvern milk with the added bonus that it will immediately progress the wyvern's maturity by 10%.

Разведение

Как только вы получили первое поколение взрослых особей, виверны одного типа могут скрещиваться друг с другом, производя новые яйца (виверны разных типов скрещиваться не могут). Учтите: хотя теперь у вас есть возможность разводить дальнейшие поколения, супер-разведением или мутациями получая более высокие уровни, и вам больше не обязательно красть яйца из диких гнёзд, — для выращивания разведённых в неволе поколений всё равно требуется молоко, а для этого нужны Alpha и дикие самки виверн. Прирученные самки виверн не производят молоко для кормления потомства, молоко можно получить только от диких виверн. Это значит, что виверн не следует разводить на картах, где они не спавнятся, если только не включён межсерверный перенос предметов, иначе ваши детёныши, скорее всего, погибнут от голода (либо можно воспользоваться методом без молока, описанным выше).

Применение

• Wood/Thatch/Cactus Sap Collector: They can collect large amounts of Wood, Thatch, and Cactus Sap when landed by pressing . They will collect Thatch and Cactus Sap much more efficiently than Wood.

• Travel: Wyverns are faster than other Scorched Earth flyers and have less stamina drain. Beware their large turn radius, however, as they can be difficult to steer until you've had some practice.

• Hunting Tool: Wyverns are among the best ways to quickly gather large amounts of Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat and a wide variety of Tributes; Wyverns are also the only flying creatures treated as large carnivores, meaning that most of the small and medium-sized aggressive wildlife is prone to ignore them and their riders unless provoked, greatly reducing the nuisance while traveling.

• Giga Counter: Wyverns can easily dispatch of Giganotosaurus from a distance with their breath (lightning is recommended for the highest damage output).

• Охотник на титанов: виверны могут легко уворачиваться от атак титана. Лучше всего использовать их против Desert Titan, так как он наносит урон только стаями существ.

• Damage: Wyverns deal large amounts of damage with their bite and breath attacks; they're some of the most powerful flying creatures in the game. While they may not match a Rex for sheer damage output, a Wyvern can be flown across the map and is extremely maneuverable.

• Транспорт: виверны могут нести приличный вес и довольно быстры. С помощью виверны можно безопасно и быстро перевозить людей или материалы через карту.

• Ферма опыта: виверны дают много опыта по сравнению с большинством других существ. Разведение и массовое убийство детёнышей виверн может быть быстрым способом прокачаться.

• Troodon Taming: Thanks to the enormous amount of experience they provide, a level 80 Wyvern is enough to tame a 150 Troodon during the night.
