I just started getting into Ark this month and these Basics videos have been great. All the information you need and thorough explanations done in real time made it much easier to absorb. Once I conquer The Island I'm definitely catching one of these and calling her Mothra. Thanks Phlinger!
Exactly how I used them. Just a first flyer to get a bit of resources back to base, scout, etc. I'm so glad you covered the tent trick. For some passive tames, I hook onto them with a grapple so that either they can't go too far... or I go with them. I tamed mine on Valguero. Just had to watch out for the hyenas and sabers that would sometimes patrol the beach.
Best way I've found for taming moths is with a Bola 1 thatch 1 ceiling, and 4 door frames. You can completely box them in before the Bola wears off. Easy and works well even with high level moths.
Yeah, they do, but they’re not Gachas. When you kill them you get a good amount of silk. I’m pretty sure that’s what Phlinger meant, since it’s pretty common knowledge. Flying a Lymantria? Not so common. LOL!
@@elseanorofark2563 Well duh. I'm pretty sure that's not what I meant. But just in case I'm wrong, I'll uncryo a Lymantria and keep her around for a day.
@@elseanorofark2563 In the dossier it says they produce silk. When a creature produces a resource they are not killed to get it, that would be harvesting. Cows produce milk but can be harvested for leather. Its how its worded is the problem.
When Scorched Earth first released I was so eager to get a lymantria. Something about a giant flying moth just allures me...like a glistening lamp...I digress. I was very dissappointed with its stats and utility, and I am sad to see it is still that way today. BRING US THE MOTH TLC WILD CARD.
I actually tamed them late game and I finally found a use for the sling shot I like having a bunch of them follow me to deal with pegos and bugs (annoying stuff)
I may have to fully mutate some Lymantria for fun just to steal wyvern eggs. Im using the classic flyers mod so movement speed is a thing . Sounds like fun. I just love the idea of swapping a moth for a wyvern if it fails and still getting an egg
These fellas seem like they were made to be carrier's. They have good health and wieght. Are small, hard to see-qnd-then-hit targets. And produce a necessary resource. Plus, if they can still use that Super-Slow-Spore-Cload attack, they can just fly away from ANYGHING. I would just have afew of these going going around to your different bases and farms on supply runs 24/7.
Good enough to lure an argy into a taming pen. The slowdown effect is cool but nor necessary for taming your first argy. I setup my pen on a rock spire so no risk of attack while taming, hut with supplies, and a tent in case of storms. Super handy.
Ok they lower stamina I had this crazy idea , if you trap a Dino that you are trying to tame And you get the moth to lower their stamina their food goes down faster so they tame faster , does this actually work or it’s just a theory?
YES! Somebody else thought of this too! I've done this on my scorched earth and ragnarok and its worked, or appears to have worked might I say. I'm not the greatest at ark
How I can get Moths saddle? Even if Im playing in Valguero (where is these creatures) I cant craft or even see it that I could unlock it with points. Help me?!
there is a toggle on the engram page, top right, that lets you see all the map specific engrams. Sometimes you can only unlock them on that specific map though which sucks.
O.o how in God's name do people steal wyvern eggs on these? If the cloud could work like a plains chaf I'd understand it but it gose straight down. Plus wyverns would like directly hit you on the back of this wouldn't they? I'm genuinely curious how people do this.

I am loving all the ARK basics videos recently, keep them up.

They still don't produce silk as promised, nuff said ^^
But I guess it's ok that we have to leave base every once in a while.

You also can't harvest their spores to make fertilizer or poison like it says in the dossier.

The antlers on the jerboa are adorable
They can also be used to go in the wyvern trenches just need a good saddle and a lot of health to tank
Love your content ...thanks for sticking with it.
15:58 “aye man, in case you didn’t hear me before….. storms comin” 😂😂😂
Hi philinger I was wondering if you could do a basic on the obelisks and how to get a wyvern by transferring to scorched earth from the island
Dude the tent idea is legendary
Love these basic videos ive been wanting to move on to scorched but I'm still on the island and kinda struggleing
If you pump speed can they outfly a wyvern?
Oooh this looks fun. Much love and many coffee blessings.
I like the Lymantria they're an early flyer so I can zoom across scorched earth
I actually tamed them late game and I finally found a use for the sling shot
I like having a bunch of them follow me to deal with pegos and bugs (annoying stuff)
It took me so long to realize you could tame these 😭
I came across a terror bird while looking for a lymantria and I never looked back.
One thing to keep in mind is that wyverns are immune to the fart cloud. So don’t count on being able to slow them down.
I built my base in the desert on ragnorok I see these things every where

There is a t rex after me and im only level 19... Please help.
Dino wipe
Did u survive
Training a moth at the moment to help with the speedier tames.

Thx for this, I was curious how to tame one and if there worth it or not
They’re not.
@@danpats1 k thx
Yeah the fart machine it's a good mount when you don't have birds
Lol woke up to sum awesome!!! Keep up the awesomeness!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The moth should make silk in its inventory . It would make them more useful
Hello , can you guys tell what he has in his shoulder?
Ok imma try the tent method.
I had a level 3 lymantria stuck in bollas and it took all my 20 tranq arrows to knock it out
Ok they lower stamina I had this crazy idea , if you trap a Dino that you are trying to tame
And you get the moth to lower their stamina their food goes down faster so they tame faster , does this actually work or it’s just a theory?

literally 2 mins ago i hatched a deino and tamed one of these butt pteradons and named it just in case for eggs
deino eggs

@@SevCaswell

Can you pls do a galimimes
Idk how to land on it
I like the mother. M a big fan of mothra
can you do more coffee time with phlinger

Flying verticaly up so the cloud hits them
ah so the tappy doesnt exist now eh?
A dino that should be on scorched earth is a viper snake like if you agree
hi
Thaz a moth
You ignored a lot phoos (jerboas) while finding a second moth
a lot of imformation...where is the dossier for Lymantria
Wow yeah a moth basic am i supposed to be happy?
Idk
0-0
First?
Would it matter?
Even a Gallimimus could be good for this in a second stretch baton pass
