Skill Details:
Animal Taming is the skill used for taming animals and tame-able monsters. Not all animals
and monsters are tamable.
The skill's secondary function is to determine your level of control over a particular pet.
It accounts for 80% of your chance to control a pet
(Animal Lore accounts for the
remaining 20%).
The Taming skill is influenced by your Strength and Intelligence.
Your ability to tame a particular creature is based on your displayed skill. At the minimum
skill level required to tame a particular creature you have a 1% chance of successfully taming it.
Taming is difficulty-based, this means you have to tame creatures of increasing difficulty to
keep gaining.
The minimum requirement to tame a creature increases with each additional person who tames it.
Once you have tamed a creature, its taming difficulty is reset to 0.0 for you and you will always
be able to retame it on first try. You can't gain skill from an animal you have previously tamed,
but you can gain skill from other people's tames.
Taming and Re-taming:
Each time an animal is retamed by an additional person, the minimum taming requirement is increased.While a creature can only be tamed 5 times (provided the taming difficulty does not exceed 120.0), there is no limit to the number of owners a pet can have if it is transferred from one person to another instead of retamed.
Taming Tips:
Sometimes gains slow down to a crawl. Don't be alarmed, it happens to almost everyone.
Here are a few things you can try to get your gains going again:
- Make sure you are taming creatures that aren't too hard for your skill level. You won't
gain from failed attempts!
- Don't try to raise Taming for a day or two, leave it alone. Work on a different skill or
go out and have some fun hunting with your pets. When you go back to taming practice, you should
gain again.
- Switch to taming different creatures. Take a journey across the lands of PC Realm, look at all the
interesting places to be found and tame everything that crosses your path. In the old times
it was said only Tamers really traveled all across the lands and could say "I have seen it all".
