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.

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.

Gaining Animal Taming skill through battle is the fastest route to grandmaster. Employing five pets of an appropriate skill level to defeat stronger enemies will yield much faster skill gains than wandering Sosaria and making friends with every animal in sight. The Bard skills Peacemaking and Provocation will aid in this endeavor, as will careful attention to which of your pets are dealing damage. When a monster of the appropriate difficulty dies, there is a chance for each of your pets that hit it during combat to grant you 0.1 skill. More pets hitting an enemy means more chances to gain skill. Thusly, using this method, you can acquire up to 0.5 skill per kill. It's crucial to ensure that each of your tames lands at least one blow while fighting to maximize skill acquisition.

Appropriate level pets for this method are pets whose taming difficulty is within ten skill points of your Animal Taming skill, and the monster being defeated must be a monster stronger than the pets being used. Some examples of this that have been used in the past are Scorpions, Grizzly Bears, Frost Spiders, Lava Lizards, and Hell Hounds being used to kill Earth Elementals.
