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
- Power Scrolls and Skill Scrolls are available for this skill.
- For a complete list of tameable creatures you can refer to the Taming Charts
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
This is just a basic overview, there are more detailed guides provided further below. You can also create your own guide or modify these ones using the list of tameable pets chart!
| Level | Creatures to Tame |
|---|---|
| 0 | Buy skills from Herdsman NPC or Veterinar |
| 30 | Cow, Goats, Pigs, Sheep |
| 42.1 | Hinds, Timber Wolves |
| 55.1 | Polar Bears, Walruses, Brown Bears |
| 79.1 | Great Harts, Grizzly Bears |
| 91.1 | Bulls |
| 103.1 | Skill Scrolls |

0-110 Guide
The following guide was created by 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 here.
Time Required
- 50-100: 53Hours 15minutes.
- Average of 6.8minute between gains until 100.
- 100-110: 17 Hours 20min
- Average of 10 minutes between gains from 100-110
- Taming things between 10-30 points above minimum required skill.
Details
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).
I followed guides posted by: Dwayne Wade, DaTamer, Lollo and Bromista
My Recommended Taming Guide: (Nothing new here just observations based on the data) Tame everything between 10-30point above the minimum skill required to tame it. 20 points above the minimum is the sweet spot for gains.
- 50-60 8 Hours 45 min (5.2 minutes between gains)
- Location:Anywhere in the land)
- Tame everything, This should come pretty quick. At 55 Bears (not Grizzlies) should be your staple.
- 50 Tameables
- 23.1 Timber Wolves, Hinds
- 35.1 Black Bears, Polar Bear, Walrus
- 41.1 Brown Bears, Cougar
- 60-70 9 Hours 30 min (5.8 minutes between gains)
- 70-80 11 Hours 30 min (7.1 minutes between gains)
- 80-90 10 Hours 15 min (6.2 minutes between gains)
- 90-100 12 Hours 30 min (7.6 minutes between gains)
- Locations: Delucia Passage Level 2, Fire Level 1
- Small Hellcats will GM you however at 95 you can reliably add Lava Lizards into the mix.
- 90 Tameables
- 80.7 Lava Lizards
- 83.1 Imp/Dire Wolf
- 85.5 Hell Hound
- 89.1 Large Hell Cat
- 100-110 17 Hours 20min (10.5 minutes between gains)
- Locations: Delucia Passage Level 2, Fire Level 1 & 2
- Small Hellcats and World taming become obsolete at 105. Lava Lizards are your bread and butter until about 107 and they fall way off. Hell Hounds and Hell Cats in Fire are the only viable option. Lava Lizards will take you to 110 but its going to be very quick taming.
- 100 Tameables
- 80.7 Lava Lizards
- 83.1 Imp/Dire Wolf
- 85.5 Hell Hounds
- 89.1 Large Hell Cats
- 110-120 Magic 8-Ball says... Gains will suck.
- (Locations: Fire Level 1 &2)
- Fire is your playground, Hell hounds and Hell Cats
- 1 full point (1.0) will take 2+hours. Skill Scroll at 230k-ish a pop look very tempting at this point.
Template
These are the recommended skills while levelling:
- 100 Music - Essential
- 100 Peacemaking - Essential for Dungeon Taming
- 100 Provoke - Utility skill to kite pets to surrounding spawn to kill off.
- 100 Magery - Utility skill to Recall/Heal/PK defense (GM not essential during grind)
- 100 Meditation - Helps to keep Mana topped off
- 100 Hiding - I wound up dropping it at 90 taming so I could control tames better
- Animal Lore - Picked up at 90 taming to send tames to surrounding mobs to kill off, works better then provoke IMO.
- Animal Vet - Will drop Peace for Vet at 100 Taming
- Taming What it’s all about.
Supplies
- 30 of Each Reagent
- 1 Bard Instrument
- Food (usually just ate what dropped)
I banked at either 8-10 reagent left or if I hit 2000 gold. Travel light and death should be irrelevant.
Log
- From 19 November - 2 December
It took me 53 hours and 15 minute of active taming to go from 50-100. At an average of 6.8 minutes between gains, the data agrees with the general consensus of 1 full point per hour in dungeons and about .8 point per hour in world taming. From real skill 63.7-100 I recorded every point gained; time between gains, and whether it was a taming failure or success.
- 14 Days: Average of 3 hours 45min per day
Shortest time between gains: 0min (Few of these) Longest time between gains: 42min (92.2 off a Bull 2nd Tame (Failure))
50-60 averages 5.2 minutes between gains 60-70 averages 5.8 minutes between gains 70-80 averages 7.1 minutes between gains (Due to gains primarily coming from world taming) 80-90 averages 6.2 minutes between gains 90-100 averages 7.6 minutes between gains.
