Useful chart Rob! Hope it will give a good indication of tamer's achievements

You forgot a very important skill...
Zoology seems to have a BIG influence on the number of pets you can tame...
I know of 2 people that have similar skills in taming and handling - but one can only do 3 pets - and the other 5 pets... They have a big difference in their zoology skills.....
So it might be a good idea to add zoology to your chart

Zoology is a skill; what he has in the chart are the two professional standings that pertain to taming. Zoology, Animal Taming, Animal Lore, and many general skills all contribute to the Animal Tamer and Animal Handler professions he has in the chart. Skills by themselves are as you say, not the full story: the professional standing is the actual result of the skill levels that determines ability.

Yes, that's correct.

So, now we have the list of abilities for the Animal Tamer profession down to Daikiba Provider (and Snable-male Young at the first level).

There must be some data when Daikiba Young, Mature or Old unlocks. So, if you are new to taming, please post your experiences here! Also we'll need some information on the Exarosaurs and other Snables!

Edit: I'll add the other tamable creatures to the chart (but the unlock level will be 'unknown' for now)!

4 active Pets unlocked at level 31

I new that the unlock of 4 Pets was either at level 30 or 31 (Great professional standing) but I last time I got there was before skills levels were shown with the current detail and anyway I got the by eating a chip so I didn't knew where far in Great level I was, it seems that the chip took me higher than what I expected that time.

Anyway I decided to try to figure this out and do it all over again so that I knew how taming is working.

I unlocked the ability to have 4 active Pets at level 31.
(somewhere at the middle of 31; aprox. ~31 + 1/4).

Here are screenshots before and after:

Well this means that at the moment
I expect that people will unlock 6 Pets at level 57-59
8+(10+1)=19
19+(10+2)=31
31+(10+3)=44
44+(10+4)=58

Intersting theory. I was expecting to unlock 6 pets at lvl 54 for some reason, as it is 10 levels above the 44 and a new pro-standing, but if that does not happen I will test your idea then

I am still wondering what higher level tamer pro-standing currently does, I guess now it is useless until new mobs are introduced that can be tamed...or do people think it has any other significance?

I am close to lvl 50 tamer as well, not sure if anything cool will happen there, will post once I get there

The interesting thing about the 6 pet unlock if it indeed does come when MG suggests, is that scientist skill should unlock at lvl 60 handler as well (a theory as well, but we know it is a skill that contributes to taming, and unlocks at lvl 60 scanner, paramedic and whipper so logically same in taming), and skilling that up should give a temporary boost to taming standings as well.

Anyways, the road to taming heights has been a bit slow, but I plan to take it to at least lvl 60 and 6 pet and scientist unlock and then see what happens...

Stay tuned

Thanks! I'll update the chart with this confirmed data!

Edit: I was able to tame a Daikiba Old Alpha tonight, but not yet a Daikiba Prowler, so that confirms the ability to tame a Daikiba Old Alpha at level 12 Animal Tamer.
