| Field Notes: |
Some scholars consider the Wyvern as a distant cousin of the dragons. This is far from truth though. The Wyvern we know nowadays are the result of constant breeding of some significantly smaller, only mildly poisonous flying lizards. Wyverns can also push objects. Their drunkenness is VERY heavy, but it lasts for a very short time.

| Strategy: |
Knights can kill a wyvern around level 30 and skills between 65/65 and 75/75, depending on the equipment worn and fighting mode. For blocking 60/60 would be enough. Level matters more than skills, because of their poison attack. Stay diagonal to avoid poison wave and musical wave. Avoid using Energy Fields because you will most likely kill them fast enough without and you could step on your own fields while moving around the wyvern.
Paladins can kill wyverns at 40 distance (60 is recommended), shooting arrows or bolts and try avoid poison wave. If you get poisoned, use antidote as soon as possible, because you will most likely be not getting any other damage than occasional poison. You should always use Dwarven Ring because if you can't run to right direction you will be receiving high damage. Fighting wyverns at low level and about 55 distance is one of the fastest and safest ways to level as paladin because wyverns give good experience.
Mages can kill them easy around level 30 with fireballs or Flame Strikes. Lower level mages can also shoot fire field rune to kill it faster. Either heal with exura gran or use mana shield. Often, Mages also summon Demon Skeletons or Monks to kill wyverns, while shooting with an aproperiate Rod or Wand, depending on the level and vocation, and using Death Strikes. Also can be "hunted" with a low level team, with a good blocker, like lvl 25+ and a shooter. Another good way to hunt these creatures with a low lvl is to get a team of about 3 or 4 people and go to a single spawn like the one near venore. Simply have the strongest go up first then the others come up. Each person needs lvl 15+ or they will die. Lure the creature to a spot where everyone can stand diagonally. Make sure each of you have exura or exura gran and exana pox or its poison will kill you. Simply attack it until it starts running away and make sure you stand at a good angle where is poison wave won't poison you.
Using Silver Amulet and Dwarven Ring is good idea for all vocations to reduce the poison damage and prevent being drunk.
