Basic Taming Tutorial

[CrazyCopyCat]

I don't think pets are worthless- I have a Dakiba named BOB- someone gave it to me when I was a noob- Bob was a baby then and in 2 years hes a gard... Anyhow, Before you couldnt hunt without crashing but MA fixed it and I take him out hunting pretty regular- I even globed a couple times with him, he got mixed in with a hundred other Dakibas and went running. . .

Long story short: I watched him grow up and Me and Bob have had some good, fun times and I still laugh at some of the fun! PETS RULE and Taming is great way to have fun and not to expensive!

PS: Hey MA! When can I ride him or get him to Kill stuff???

Anyhow- Best Wishes and Happy Summer to you all and don't forget to HUG your "BOB" today!

I totally agree ... I love my snable.. "Juliet" who was given to me as a gift in my first month in EU.

What I found interesting in your post CrazyCopyCat is that you said Bob matured into a guard?? Do you mean to tell me that they actually age and mature? Please clarify this, as this is news to me.... or were you just meaning figuratively?

they don't mature and grow stronger... i think he meant that figuratively.

Just tried taming myself and realised that you cant just got tame any creature, the only one tamable (at extreme noob level) is a snablesnot, daki and exa fail due to not being uber enough to do it, maybe needs adding to the guide what levels you can tame different creatures, as obviously you do require a certain level.

How do I get the TT value of a Pet back if I want to move on to another? Do I TT the deed, or Dismiss the Pet?

My first Pet is now level 2.2, and has a small Trust even though I've never brushed it. So why exactly does it need more Trust?

Is it right that bigger Pets eat more Nutrio bars, and therefore skilling is faster? Has anyone done tests (as opposed to just working out the Unlock levels).

You could also try selling him/her.... But ya, either TT'ing the deed or dismissing will get the same results.

From what I've heard, more trust makes the pet increase in experience much more rapidly. Also, if your pet autostabled for some reason, you would lose the trust you have.

I'm pretty sure there is a thread with the actual numbers around here and it was based on mob type, not maturity.

I keep getting "Invalid target type for this action." Then Taming attempt failed. This is taming Snabble-Snot Female young.

NVM i finally tamed it... apparently that's the msg you get....

Hmm... I don't generally get "Invalid target type for this action" unless the pet isn't selected or something. Second message is normal .

I guess all the stables are the same distance from town... but which is the best... least mobs near etc?
