You can now gain your animal taming skill from not only taming creatures, but also by using those tamed creatures in battle against foes across all of Sosaria. Getting an animal tamer off the ground on Ultima Online Forever has never been easier!

Here is a step-by-step guide written by Nokins via our Forum.

With this guide you can GM+ taming within a day or two of normal play. Like 8 or less hours of play. We have shared this with several people and they have found the great benefits of it with out having to spend 80+ hours trying to level it or millions of gold buying scrolls. Please enjoy.
A majority of the work here was done by a different player, cliNt torreZ from the UOF discord. If anyone else helped to make this with them I am sorry for not being able to credit you. I have refined the post they made in discord about it and present it here so that anyone can easily find it.
In this guide, employing five tames consistently is highly recommended. The process involves two distinct phases: the battle phase and the tame phase, both of which you’ll repeat multiple times. The rationale behind this strategy is that you earn 0.1 skill for each tame that successfully strikes an enemy before its demise.

During the Battle Phase, you can acquire 0.5 skill per kill, making it a swift process to accumulate several skill points within minutes. Occasionally, you may find it necessary to conduct a manual tame phase to gain skill, usually yielding around 1.0 points, after which you’ll return to the battle phase. It’s crucial to ensure that each of your tames lands at least one hit during the battle phase to maximize skill acquisition. These skill points are visible in the show reel, so ensure that this option is selected.

Following the battle phase, it’s advisable to release and eliminate your current tames. Whenever you require tames for a battle phase, they can be transferred to you from a GM+ tamer.
