SuzieQ Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 My partner and I have just raised our first wyvern it's been a nightmare to be honest and not something I really want to do again if I can't find a better way! How do those of you in a small tribe who work full time actually manage it? We only hatched eggs over 150 so made it as easy as possible for ourselves but the with milk lasting such a short time we were constantly having to get up in the night to refresh it (we raised on the island and had salts in the preserving bin) Have we missed some important thing that those of you who raise wyvern regularly care to share? Or is it just a case of 4 days with pretty much no decent sleep and feeling like a zombie at work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike10522 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Over the past year the game has become harder to solo or play as a small tribe. My tribe is made up of 5 players who were all solo so we made a super tribe. I raise rexs by the 20, done 13 gigas at a time, without the water trick, 18 wyverns at most. It's all about time management, when I'm raising 20 boss rexs I only imprint every 4 hours when I'm not working, I'll still end up with 80% imprinted. Raise wyverns on a none se server like the island, wyvern milk will last longer enough through the workday. The key to raising period is just smart time management, you control your time not your Dino. Married, no kids, 40 hour work week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klakky Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thats strange, higher lvl wyverns should have good food stats, I find if ur not imprinting its actually preety easy to raise a wyvern( I raised 15 wyverns at once 3-4 weeks ago only fed em twice a day, some only once a day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGCookies Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Assuming you have weekends off work start friday night/ saturday morning by the time monday comes you should be able to feed it sunday night then wakeup like 30 mins early for work and feed it in the AM thats how i do it anyways i work 60+ hours a week and im solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equinox713 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'd recommend splitting raises into poopfts. as much as I hate to say it, ark is not a solo game and requires huge time dedication, and the only way to counter that is numbers. I'd highly recommend stockpiling eggs and waiting till an evaluation event then the whole tribe raises. time is key When I raise with my tribe we take it in shifts and if you coordinate with your can calculate spoil time on food and figure out when and who needs to come on and feed the baby's. Also if you are going for imprints leave your pc/console on on the menu and set an alarm each time you imprint that way you can wake up when the time is right and get easy imprints. if raising is to hard I would also highly recommend just buying dinos. People are lazy so grind, and look around you will surely find someone who will trade wyverns and such. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Captnmorgan Posted August 3, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2017 I honestly raised 30 wyverns in a tribe of 6 we had 2 European guys took the night shift 2 housewives day shift and everyone else filled in the gaps. Its not easy to raise them. I honestly will never raise one again id rather trade for it... Without a solid tribe it can be a pain.. But we generally would start on weekend where everyone had off and was prepared to work as a team. It is a endgame animal so its not easy to do. in my opinion.

arrojado1200 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I play solo on PVE and raised 7 wyverns without help. The first time I raised 3 wyrverns (valentine event). The second time I raised +4 (Evolution Event ++). The key is to have patience and expect an event that usually takes place over the weekend.

Malko Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Breeding can be challenging for small tribes (husband and wife kind of tribes), just don't give up its worth it :-) I done pretty much every dinos. Spoil timer for milk on island is higher so, i could log if needed with teamviewer doing that but i know that for some people its impossible, so you might want to start it on an EVO event maybe. And if you're lucky enough to have a friend on another time zone that would be super for you i think :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do milk run in the am usually not a lot of people on at that time so lots of dragons in the wyvern pit to trap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jostabeere Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You either dedicate a weekend to it, or you don't. It's quite difficult to plan it if not on a weekend. Best would be if both of you take a day off. For example you the friday, your partner the monday, to have 4 full days. You could wait for a 2x event, but you simply cannot squeeze work and sleep into a full imprint raise without it being painful. You could easily do it without imprints, but that's a waste of time if you're in need of a good Wyvern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicBean Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I love Ark but I don't think it's a game made for people with a life. I play it when I can but there's never enough time for anything other than building and claiming other people's tames when their timers run out. And sometimes I rent a private server and give myself everything so I can run or fly around on it. Or trade for it. Not exactly helpful advice I guess but there ya go. I recommend putting your life first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewcm Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If you are going to raise 1 might as well do 4-5. My brother and I raised 9 between us on a x2 breeding event on a 3 day weekend. If it wasn't for the breeding event we couldn't have done it. We both have 9-5's and I have a 9 year old who occupies my time, brother is a patent inspector/ attorney who works late. He got 100% imprint, mine were 80 something (valued sleep more) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wohoo Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 quite funny, no problem here raising 10 wyvern at once as a soloplayer with an actuall job^^ wyvern are pretty mutch the easiest raise ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouSpowells Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Honestly folks, give unofficial servers a whirl if the time involved for raising/breeding is a bit much for your schedule. I can tell you from experience as someone who went full no-life on official, that the transition to unofficial was very refreshing after I had a life again. I'm not against the rates being increased on official servers, but I also understand that there are multitudes of reasons for devs to keep official rates the way they are. Ultimately, the rates on official are going to remain fairly consistent. I'm sure the devs may at some point adjust things, but for those who consider such rates unacceptable the devs also included the possibility to tune/balance the game to fit those who don't have as much free time, but still want to experience all aspects of the game.

Morimoto Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I do it solo and still go to work, usually i start saturday morning, because Im off from work in weekends and thats 2 days in advance, then they have enough food for the last 2 days, so i do milk runs only when i come from work or if you are lucky, when its an event in weekend. Good luck and plan your days off from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConstructor Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Did max 27 at a time. On SE. All 91-100 imprinted. Wyverns are easy to breed if you know how to optimise the work. Did 11 of them now on event, hatched ony 175+. I have trap on SE and next to it transmitter, so easy & fast milk. It takes me 2-3 min to get milk (if scar is not empty).

bigfishrob Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Rexes feed off trough and meat stored in fridges priir. Easier than having to go get milk. But i know some ppl just like to act like errbody is scrub no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wohoo Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 well, getting wyvernmilk is way easier and faster then doing a meatrun for 20 rexes.even for 1rex. even if i dont know whos breeding just 1 rex/wyvern at a time (after the first "try") ofc not if bob joined 3 weeks ago ark and want straight into SE endgame content.
