Valyrian Reins can be equipped in a flying creatures costume slot to give a variety of effects dependent on the creature they are equipped to. The Engram is learnable at Level 50 for 20 Points and they can be crafted in the the BD Workbench at a cost of 100 Tough Hide, 20 Metal Ingots, 30 Organic Polymer and 5 Oil, or found in the death inventories of wild Wyverns of all types, and also wild Rock Drakes on Aberration. Higher grade Reins will increase the armour value and the durability (up to a maximum of 10 for durability) Durability is an important stat for the Reins as a higher value will increase some of the effects. Armour value is removed if equipped on a flyer that is capable of being equipped with a saddle (so full armour effect will only be seen on Wyverns and Griffins) Only Primitive Reins can be crafted but, wild Wyverns and Rock Drakes (and now Snow Argents on Genesis as a place holder) will drop higher tiers or blueprints.

The effects they have on flyers include the following:

  • Wyverns - Provides armour, extra stamina, increases its ridden speed, ridden rotation rate, (both affected by the Reins durability) Can be equipped on Crystal Wyverns

  • Quetz - Receives increased ridden speed (affected by durability) and stamina boost.

  • Pteranadon - Receives extra stamina and a reduced cool down on their barrel roll attack.

  • Argentavis - Receives a speed boost (increased by durability) and enhanced Stamina.

  • Griffin - Receives extra stamina and the benefits of the armour as well as the ability to pick up larger than usual creatures (up to the same weight as the Argent used to be able to prior to the TLC pass) also an increased dive velocity.

  • Moth - Receives extra stamina and the ability to fly backwards. Riders can use Mounted weaponry.

  • Pelagornis - Stamina boost

  • Tapejara - Riders can use mounted weaponry, Stamina boost

  • Rock Drake - Increased attack speed, Increased Movement Speed and Rotation Rates (affected by durability)

  • Snow Owl - Stamina boost and increase to dive velocity

  • Managarmr - Stamina Boost, increased Step Height, reduced base stamina usage for jumps and bursts, and the ability to use bite attack while swimming by using the C key. NEW: Reins now increase the Manas amount of jumps and strafes by 1 extra per point of durability the Reins have. So for eg. a Mana wearing Durability 6 Reins will be able to jump up to 9 times, and strafe up to 12 (dependant on stamina of course) This can be disabled via config.

  • GasBags - Increased Gas/Oxygen Ratio and reduced Stamina usage for air control

  • Tropeognathus - Unlike other flyers that can be equipped with a saddle, equipping Reins in the costume slot will also give you the additional armour (note that unlike other saddled flyers you cannot equip Reins onto a Tropeo saddle as a skin), Doubles Stamina, improves rate of fire of the flak cannon, improving with higher durabilty, up to 2x faster firing with a set of durability 10
