Runic Wyverns

Runic Wyverns that glow, have improved handling & immersive flight with diving to grace the skies of your Ark!
Description Items Dinos Dino Drop Inventory

The original Diving Wyverns for ASA!

Due to popular demand (and my need for more real time feedback) I have created a discord! https://discord.gg/XhdMw5NDhC

If you would like to support me off of CF/PayPal I also have a Ko-Fi! https://ko-fi.com/wolfofthenyght

Description:

Runic Wyverns are enigmatic creatures, boosted by long lost survivor tek that resembles magic! Painted circuitry-like runic designs containing element boosted nanobots make these Wyvern not only vibrant, but stronger & more maneuverable than the ones typically found on Arks! Featuring a higher damage resistance, better melee damage, augmented special attacks & greater maneuverability among other things, these Wyvern are an excellent tame for survivors looking for a robust battle mount able to travel longer distances quickly!

Features:

  • Wyvern Diving- By flying up & then pitching down, survivors are able to enter a dive on their Wyvern, which greatly increases their velocity, allowing large distances to be covered in a short amount of time!
  • Wyvern Barrel Roll- By pressing c while flying or in a dive, survivors will be able to perform a barrel roll attack, leaving enemies hit with a debuff, depending on your Wyvern type! Flame Wyverns will leave a target on fire, Venom Wyverns will apply torpor at an increased rate, Spark Wyverns will apply a 4sec stun, & Glacial Wyverns will apply a slow effect!
  • Better Maneuverability- Wyverns are lithe, streamlined creatures & as such, these Wyvern have a tighter turning radius, allowing for better mobility both in the air, in a dive, & on land, including mid-air backup.
  • Vibrant Colors- Dangerous plants & animals are often bright colors to ward off predators or intimidate prey; it's no different with these tyrants of the sky! If you see one of these, be prepared to fight or run! These colorsets were hand picked to make beautiful looking wyverns!
  • Particle VFX- All Runic Wyverns have a small amount of shiny particle effects they give off to give them that extra 'Special' feel!
  • Knock Out Tames- Find an Elemental (Flame, Venom, Glacial or Spark) Runic Wyvern in colors you like? These guys are knock out tames so you can claim your favorite one! (Exceptional Kibble, Raw Prime Meat, or Mutton!)
  • Passive Tames- Find a Runic Quartz, Runic Halo, or Runic Void Wyvern in colors you like? These guys are passive tames so you can claim your favorite one! (For Quartz: Same tame items as the knock out Elementals. For Halo: Mushrooms, Berries, Seeds & Meat! For Void: Runic Override Chip)
  • Increased Resilience & Damage- These Wyvern have increased resistance to damage & higher base melee attack, which only increases with careful & nurtured breeding. Imprint buff gives an extra boost to damage resistance & melee attack stat.
  • Enhanced Special Damage- Boosted by RuneTek™️, these Wyverns attacks have been augmented to do more damage once tamed, scale with melee, & have additional effects such as torpor on the Venom Wyverns' attacks, armor melting flames for the Flame Wyvern, a stun effect on the Spark Wyverns' lightning, & a stamina drain & movement speed debuff for the Glacial Wyvern, plus more special effects for the Runic Crystals!
  • No Saddle Passenger Seat- Once tamed, you'll be able to have a friend along for a ride!
  • Armor Chip- Small, basic circuitry that can be implanted under your Wyverns' scales & integrates with their RuneTek™️ to add a bit of armor. Can be augmented & upgraded to different quality & armor value, just like saddles (Currently using a secondary mod that can make blueprints. Adding a BP to drops is on my to-do list.)
  • Saddle- You can equip Runic Wyvern with a saddle to hold up to THREE of your friends and their shoulder pets! (Four if you carry a friend with a Runic Crystal's Grab!)
  • Loot- Runic Wyverns drop their equivalent Apex loot drops (Wyvern Talons) & also resources useful to any survivor! On harvest, Flame Wyverns will drop Sulfur, Venom Wyvern drop Rare Flowers, Glacial Wyverns drop Crystal & Spark Wyverns drop Absorbent Substrate! Runic Void Wyverns will also drop items to make more advanced mod items.
  • Costumes!- Runic Wyverns have some fun costumes that will change their appearance slightly to be a bit more flashy/unique! Use the Runic Wyvern Shrine for all your costume needs! Costumes are paintable too, including costumes that allow you to change your Wyverns rune colors (Happy 1st Anniversary)!
  • Levels- Since Runic Wyverns are knock out tames, they can spawn AT your max dino level for your difficulty setting- NOT ABOVE, like Vanilla Wyverns. Their level brackets are setup to favor the mid to higher end of your max level settings, and they will NOT gain additional bonus levels after taming like vanilla Wyverns.
  • Wyvern Milk- When knocked out, female Elemental Runic Wyvern will drop 4 Wyvern milk. Once tamed, they will produce up to 4 milk over a 3hr period!
  • Runic Essence- Halo, Ghost, & Void Runic Wyverns will make Runic Essence in their inventory, which will allow you to craft some other items from the mod! (Transformation Crystals, Boss summons, etc) Excess Runic Essence can also be collected off of them from the multiuse wheel every so often!
  • New features every few updates!- The most recent update has added a lot of QoL, a new boss, and the new Runic Void Wyvern!
  • Bosses!- Currently there are two bosses in the mod (Ancient Runic Ghost Wyvern & Runic Crystal Queen, Bismuth) & at least two more are planned for the future!
  • Runic Quartz Wyvern- These glittering, crystalline Runic Wyvern grow gemstones on their bodies, and are a passive tame. They can be transformed into other types by feeding them a specially crafted Runic Crystal after taming! Different types have different abilities too!
  • Augmented Attacks- Runic Wyverns' bites will have different effects depending on the type of Wyvern!
    • Runic Flame Wyvern has a gash (Allosaurus) on bite, & Flamebreath
    • Runic Venom Wyvern has a better torpor (Manticore torpor) on bite, & poison spit for ranged
    • Runic Spark Wyvern has a health regen when eating corpses (Argy), & stunning lightning beam for ranged
    • Runic Glacial Wyvern has a stamina drain (Bees, Ants), & slowing Frostbreath
    • Runic Ghost Wyvern bite has the bloodrage (Charca) when pressing Crouch/R3/RBS, & Witherflame projectile which weakens enemy defenses & burns away at their health
    • Runic Quartz Wyvern has a Windburst that pushes back & holds enemies in place for a short time. When pressing Crouch/R3/RBS on the ground, will fire a projectile which leaves dust in it's wake & spawn a tornado where it hits, dealing AoE damage
    • Runic Ruby Wyvern has a Bloodbane breath, which damages enemies & returns that damage as healing to the Ruby Wyvern. When pressing Crouch/R3/RBS on the ground, it will sacrifice 20% of it's current health (can't use below 50% health) to gain a large damage boost for 25sec (30sec cooldown)
    • Runic Emerald Wyvern has a Crystal Barrage projectile that pierces armor & does heavy damage to it. When pressing Crouch/R3/RBS on the ground, the Emerald Wyvern will use Shimmering Shell, buffing itself & others around it with a 75% damage reduction for 25sec (30sec cooldown)
    • Runic Sapphire Wyvern has a Hydroblast breath of superheated, corrosive water that damages a percentage of the victims' health & stamina. When pressing Crouch/R3/RBS on the ground, the Sapphire Wyvern will use Deluge, spending some of it's special resource, Stored Water, to heal it & allies around it for 20sec(30sec cooldown). It also gives the player the Liopleurodon buff, and has water breathing & SWIMS.
    • Runic Halo Wyvern has a Chromatic breath attack that applies a variety of debuffs to the Wyverns enemies. They can also Grab dinos & players!
    • Runic Halo Lantern Wyvern is a small shoulder pet that acts like an Aberration light pet! There will be more added to these as I get more feedback on them (They're brand new as of the last major feature update!)
    • Runic Void Wyvern is a RuneTek based Wyvern & has three abilities. Rightclick/R2 will use it's Plasma breath, Crouch/R3 will use Code Inject to summon two temporary Runic Glitch Wyvern to assist you, and Prone/LB+R3 will shoot a projectile that explodes into a Void Rift, sucking enemy dinos in & damaging them.
    • Runic Crystal Queen Wyvern is a multifaceted shifting element Wyvern. She has four attacks that can be rotated through using Crouch/LB+R3, and then fired with Altfire/R2/R3. Sunlance, Noxious Breath, Lightning Ball & Ice Beam are all hybrid attacks that have the controls of different ranged attacks, but the elemental damage & effects of others!

CONTROLLING SPAWNS

If you find that they are spawning too much, or you would like to disable them from spawning naturally, please see this page: https://legacy.curseforge.com/ark-survival-ascended/mods/runic-wyverns/pages/adjusting-spawn-rates

Please also feel free to try this mod (Many of my users said it helped to limit spawns to a certain number!): https://www.curseforge.com/ark-survival-ascended/mods/spawn-blocker

Thank you:

MASSIVE thank you to everyone on the Ark Modding Discord for help, but ESPECIALLY: Joehelp, Evolanca, Zarthan, Gaiadanny, & Quellcrest for being patient with me, helping me learn how to do things, & pointing me in the right direction when I had issues troubleshooting. Without Joehelp specifically, this mod would not be in a releasable state, so an impossibly huge thank you needs to go out to him for fixing the groundconform animations that haunted my nightmares.

Also, a huge, more recent shoutout to Jams, who figured out how to override the C++ taming text & was kind enough to share it with me! Special thank you as well to Shinygati who helped me get the Runic Ghost Wyvern Boss' drop item working correctly & sorting out various functions (like the HUD) for the Runic Crystal Wyvern!

Follow Up:

This is my first time making any mod where major game mechanics have been altered & my first time working with Unreal Engine. If you find bugs, please feel free to report them, but bear in mind that the more info you give me, the easier it will be for me to pin point what needs to be fixed! That said, I still may need to get help from the Ark modding discord on certain things, so it may take me a while to fix something. Please be patient & check the Trello for updates on what I'm currently doing! I've been working with Unreal Engine now & the Ark devkit specifically for almost 2years & I learn new things every day, so the mod will only keep getting better!

If you have a beautiful screenshot of the Runic Wyverns you want to share/want me to add to the images section, please feel free to DM me here! I'd LOVE to see them & possibly add them to the gallery (with permission & credit)!

Currently Planned Features:

  • Any bug fixes necessary
  • Runic Terror Wyvern [Third boss, Dodo Wyvern base]
  • QoL for several Wyvern to bring them up to my current level of coding capabilities. This has already begun & is my current WIP besides bug fixes.

You can check this out to keep up with what I'm working on currently! I also post updates fairly regularly on my bsky! https://trello.com/b/QZWeMp9c/runic-wyvern-wip // https://bsky.app/profile/wolfofthenyght.bsky.social

Possible Future Features: (If I can learn how to do them)

  • Acceleration on barrel roll
  • A way to disable/hide extra Wyvern features such as Antlers & Halo
