Extinction Core
Wyvern and Rock Drake Nests
As far as I'm concerned, both Wyverns and Alphas are no longer KO tameable (other than scourge), and Rock Drakes + Alpha Form are also not KO tameable. Instead, supposedly, they leave behind nests on any map. Right now I wish to focus on either TheIsland or TheCenter (Ragnarok should still follow the same rules regardless) and understand how the nest works. I tried looking in the forums and comments about how the nest mechanism works, and it seems like majority are confused.

So now the question begins. How does the wyvern/drake nest mechanism work? It might be similar to the Wyvern Nest mod, or there might be designated nest spawn points around the map. I will be testing in single player and see if I can get a nest to spawn before my friends and I start up a private server.

Unfortunately as it's single player, rendering could pose an issue and it could be a time consuming effort, but I will post my findings in this post, and I'm hoping other people can help me out with their knowledge of how the nests work. Even "I found a nest outside of the wyvern trench" is super helpful information to me.

I have discovered a rock drake egg on TheCenter. I found the egg upon arriving one of the volcano island and discovered the egg. I can say with confidence that rock drakes and wyverns do lay eggs in nests near them. What I'm not sure is how their nests are created...whether if it's rendering or not.

After more testing, I've gotten 4 rock drake eggs to spawn. They do spawn when out of render.

On The Center after not going to the burnt island for a while i had around 40 + rock drake eggs there and for an alpha the egg glows red with a red nest (but sometimes the eggs just float with no nest)

On the Island I have found Rock drake nests on Carno island and that seems to be that main spawn area for those. I also did find one on the west side of the map just before you enter the snow biom.

I have yet to find a single alpha rock drake nest or a single nest of any kind of wyvern.
