Badass Drakes won't eat/tame anymore
I've had AG installed for quite some time and have several badass drakes tamed. I picked up again after about a month and found an Ice Badass Drake near my base, so I went to tame it. The drake won't eat at all, either on it's own or after being fed a Sedative narcotic. Did a recent change mess with drake taming?

Drakes can only be tamed by using the [Drake Tribute]. o. o so you need to kill a drake before you can tame one :D.

Place the Drake Tribute and [Force Use], it should be tamed then

I've killed about five drakes and none of them have dropped a Tribute. It's getting annoying as theres an almost max lv poison near by that I'd love to tame.

Yup just found out about the changes after looking at the new craftables a bit more. Good thing I got my high level poison drake before the changes went live.

So it is badass drakes you have to down to get the item to tame them right?
Akihisa Aug 15, 2016 @ 11:23pm 
@Iron Block Games | They will only drop the Drake Trophy which is an ingredients for the Drake Tribute. *MAKE SURE!* you do not kill them, when they are unconcious or you won't get any drops.

You can craft the tribute in the annunaki workbench or what even it's called Looks like a smithy!! once you learn its engram

@Kitty Purry | XD it's pretty easy cheeze them for a trophy at early stage. Just get a poison argy or pteranodon and knock them unconcious. Hit them until they are close to dieing [2-3hits from death] and let it wake up then Kill them, you get a trophy easy without the need to go "YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY RIGHT ROUND LIKE A.... *Facepalm*"

I have three poison ptera's, not yet seen a poison argy and I've been killing all that I run into.

> .> you don't really need to get poison argies i never even bothered taming the BA argies lol. Poison Pteranodons barrel roll does atleast 10-14k [(Dmg x 600%) + (Dmg x 200%) = torpor total in 2secs] (level 900-1000 | Max Damaged and 200% spd) torpor per spin o .o just barrel roll before you get near him and you can easily dodge the breath attacks.

5-7 consecutive spin hits will down a drake of 585-600 base, you need to hit and run, Argies needs around 10-14 hits to down a drake but they can facetank but very nausiating.

Sorry I don't play with OP settings or on boosted servers. My max lved petra will die in a few dragon breaths if hit. What may be 900-1000 to you is not goinjg to be the same for me due to server multipliers. I like my game balansed. Not 'one dino does everything.'

There's already a so called 'tutorial' bosting how poison petras can down drakes and dodo rex's... but they finally showed there all on a boosted server, boosted exp, boosted dino stats, etc.

Sorry, I like playing the game, not having it be ez mode.

This whole mod pack is based around ramping up dino levels bro, you can't complain because it isn't balanced around your specific playstyle

You're not grasping what I am saying. My dino lv's are upped, as is player level to 900. exp boosted by 10x. Outside that everything ios normal, no boosted dino stats.

I'm also not complaining at all. I'm just saying I have my game balanced. I don't play with boosts to where a poison petra can do everything. My petra will die against drakes, and dodo rex's. Thus why I tame stronger creatures, move up the chain vs staying at the bottom being op.

Our new hatched Wyverns seem to have the same problem. They are stuck on half food and won't eat at all.

Also after killing something they don't get their inventory anymore after eating the corpse.
Mythily Aug 17, 2016 @ 1:32am 
Wyvern's food is locked and won't ever change. You don't have to worry about that.
And inventory harvesting is still a bit buggy. They harvest it for like 80% for me.

. _. Please try to test out things first before talking about Boosted Stats... A poison ptera can reach 1.3k% spd and 200% spd at regular annunaki no config changes, every poison flying is op as hell XD Knockdown + hit until death let it wake up and you can kill pretty much even dodorexs to death except Wardens
Mythily Aug 17, 2016 @ 7:57am 
I don't know if killing dodorexys like that is possible, even after testing I was unable to use that method because they regen fast even when they are unconcious. As far as I know this method is not meant to be used for ubers (Broodmother can be killed this way).

I have tested things out. I've lost one and another I was taming to a dodorex that roamed in and chomped them down in two bites. I've ran into fire drakes and tried to down them only to end up nearly dead before they pass out.

I don't know about you, but my settings don't make them OP. Petras are like glass cannons. So please don't tell me that I haven't 'tested' thing's, I've tested enough while changing stats and stuff to get a game balanced for ME to enjoy for MY game.

Even if a poison petra could do all that, I would still go for other things as just using that would make the game boring and dull. Oh boy I tanmed a poison petra! End game sense it can do everything!

No... So stop complaining to me about how I have balanced my game out and chose to play.
