I get a lot of eggs that way from being so close for hours on end.) But you got to be level 45 to unlock the saddle, hardly a starter flyer Think that should be dropped to 25-30 considering how pointless the moth is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still agree with your point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are making a joke then it is going over my head as all sources point to Tapejaras prefer Allosaurus egg kibble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Taming (per everywhere but specifically the wiki) they use Allosaurus while for Thorny Dragon: Overview[edit | edit source] Kibble (Thorny Dragon Egg) is made from Thorny Dragon Eggs. ThisKibble is the favorite food of the Lymantria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say so. I know I had a triplet set of pteras that just wanted dimetrodon kibble the entire time (no cuddles or walks) and I didn't have a single dimet. I think in this instance it is just pulling from scorched earth only creatures to ensure no one gets screwed on imprinting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungabunga Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 They can be pretty useful. During raids you can use them to bomb entrances and exits, rooftops, etc. to help suppress enemy players and dinos, giving snipers and all a better shot at killing them as they try to run around. The spores also seem to drain hunger and thirst which means the enemy needs to burn through resources faster. If you cut off their supply lines and have enough people watching the area making sure they can't get in or out easily then you can starve them out. They can also be used to slow things like trex, wyverns, rock elementals and such which makes taming easier. Lymantria has its uses. It's not a powerhouse or good for hauling cargo but it does have a few niche uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffried Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I forgot about this but... a while back when SE first came out I was offline getting raided by some Jane scrub. I logged in to find him stabbing me, at which point I died, then my Lymantria wrecked his poop. I got a screenshot of the tribe log somewhere as a momento...

Jaywall Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I like lymantria for PVE if I get attacked they sh** on the Dino and give me plenty of time to blast him in the face ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sov Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Lymantrias are great 'flying golf carts' to get around base. They fit in rooms an argy won't. I spec mine for weight to transport mats around base. Then again I have a base on a pinnacle that is hard to get around ob foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10,000 Jelly Doughnuts Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Buff Moths, argents are better everyway. I play official PVP, Argents can fly faster, carry more, fly longer. Moths can spit spores that slow, but takes so much stam. They are slow and long tames too. Rather tame an argent than a moth everyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Moths totally need something, anything, to make them viable. I would love to use mine more but they're just so not worth it. For a start, even knocking a decent one out is difficult, a quick look at the taming calculator and it ssems that even bolaing one and making sure every shot is a head shot you're looking at just not having time to do more than about a lvl 75 without tranq darts, and then on official rates on mejoberries that will take you a whopping 7 hours to tame!!! So you're gonna want the kibble, that takes an hour and a half with 24 kibble! Now I dunno about you guys, but I play SE on single player with egg laying rates reduced to 20% of normal, and from my pair of thorny dragons in who knows how many hours I have 4 eggs! So just taming one is awkward, annoying, and time consuming. As has been said for a starter flyer lvl 45 is too high a level for their actual utility, which let's face it, is next to nothing. I have not been able to slow anything, ever with the spore attack. If an argent or vulture latches on to you all you can do is fly away as fast as you can and hope they lose interest before your stamina disappears, which it will do very quickly. I get the concept of wanting to restrict being able to fly early on and this making the map harder purely because you have to explore on foot, but it needs to have something more rewarding about it, because it is a great concept creature, but so not worth the hassle of taming. Even more so with the Tapejara now on scorched which is a far far superior flyer, a bugger to tame but with the utility befitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
