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.

===0-110 Guide===
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 real, so ensure that this option is selected.
The following guide was created by [http://www.uoforum.com/threads/guide-taming-0-110-now-with-science.71070/ Bajorn] from the UOForever forums. It builds on some excellent other taming guides and has been used to great success by several UOFers.The original thread can be found [http://www.uoforum.com/threads/guide-taming-0-110-now-with-science.71070/ here].
 
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.
 
You can also create your own guide or modify these ones using the [[Tameables#Pet_Taming_Chart|list of tameable pets chart]]!

The following guide was created by [https://www.uoforum.com/threads/fast-gm-animal-taming-11-23-2023.110252/ cliNt torreZ & Nokins] from the UOForever discord/forums. 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.

I set out to record the total time it takes to reach GrandMaster Elder Taming as well as include time between points (.1) or as I call it mpp (minutes per point). My methodology was 4 fold: Name of Creature; Fail or Success; Timestamp of gain; and whether it was an initial tame or re-tame. (I blew though about 50 post-its).

Description

Animal Taming is a skill that allows you to tame pets to become your allies. These pets will follow your commands. Higher levels in taming allow you to train much tougher creatures such as Dragons while lower level taming allows you to tame basic animals such as horses. Clicking on an animal once (if it's tamable) will bring up a "Tame" button, you will attempt to reason with the animal or monster until you either fail or succeed. If you succeed, the animal or monster will now listen to your typed commands (Listed below)

Your Animal Taming and Animal Lore skills affect your ability to both tame the creature as well as command it. If your Animal Lore skill is too low, the creature will ignore your commands and get upset. Animal Taming allows you to acquire Meta Pets.

Notes

Recommended Training

As one of the famously hardest skill to level, it is recommended to follow guides in order to maximize the Taming gains during training. Taming gains are difficulty based, meaning that you will not gain skill when Taming something that is considered too easy or too hard. Taming can also be passively trained whenever a tamed pet, or pets, kill a creature. The chance to gain is based on the relative strength of the pet used, the damage the pet dealt, and the tamers skill level. The Tamed Creature's Minimum Taming Requirement must be within 5 skill points of the Tamer's current skill level. Relative Strength of your pet is based on the following:

  • Armor
  • Maximum Hitpoints
  • Strength
  • Dexterity
  • Skill levels
  • Special Abilities such as Relics or Boss Abilities

Notes:

  • You cannot gain taming from gated mobs.

Guides

Basic Guide

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.

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 real, 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.

You can also create your own guide or modify these ones using the list of tameable pets chart!
