(That is the cost of the ingots in the whistle. I (try to) keep all of these in stock on my vendor for 400g each. Wolf / Small Brown Spider (Web & Poison).Some of the better combat pets available at this level (and their special abilities) are the: Once you are sick of the Chest Mimic (it won’t take long) or if you don’t have one, you can beg / borrow / buy a Summoning Whistle with a pet on it from a more experienced tamer. Other pets don’t do this, you will lose them if they die and you can’t resurrect them before the Resurrection timer expires. It doesn’t do much damage, and it is probably going to die a lot, but don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be resurrected, it returns itself to the collar automagically when it dies. This pet is good for…well, nothing really, but it will let you test out your Summoning skill and give you a taste of fighting with a pet. If you have a Founder Royal Artisan (or higher) account (or you know someone who does), you should have a “Founder Royal Artisan Taming Creature Call (Chest Mimic)” as a reward. It costs 250g, it has a bunch of debuffs that a brand-new Tamer really doesn’t need, and you can’t buy taming collars, so again, don’t bother. You can buy a Wooden Taming Whistle from the Crafting Materials Vendor in the Outskirts areas, but don’t bother. You can now…do absolutely nothing! Taming requires materials, Taming Collars and Taming Whistles. You begin the game with 1 point each in Tame Creature and Summoning. Makes it possible to tame the fearsome Destroyer, then makes it harder, better, faster, and stronger. Twenty times harder to level up than any other skill in the tree…and worth every bit of it. Taming Specialization: Choosing this as one of your two allowed Specializations makes you a Tamer…and passing on it means you will never be able to tame or use pets at their highest levels.Pet Hide Toughness Training: Physical and Magical Resists.Pet Attack Precision Training: Increases your pet’s critical hit damage.If you want your pet to tank for you, this is your go to. Pet Taunting Training: Increases threat generated by pets.This has become much more useful with the release of the new tamables. Refresh: Reduces the Summon Tamed Debuff timer.Concentration: Combat Pets have an associated Focus Cost.Pet Strength Training: Increases your pet’s Strength.Not enough to actually keep up with you, but anything is something in this department. Pet Speed Training: Increases your pet’s movement speed.Combat Training: Adds to your pet’s Level.Increases your pets Strength, Attack Speed, and Combat Health Regen at the cost of Damage Resistance. Frenzy: Sends your pet into a ‘Frenzy’.100% effective at Level 40, take this one up at least that far, farther for a better fizzle / reagent use chance. Resurrect Creature: Again, the title says it all.Like Tame Creature, it is wasted skill points once you have tamed your pet. Affects your chance to not lose a collar on a failed taming attempt. Collar Recovery: Another completely worthless (but necessary) skill.I find 40 to be more than enough, even at well above GM Taming levels. This skill is still broken as of Release 70 (tamed pets don’t run). Obedience: Controls how low in health your pet can get before it runs away in terror.Summoning is how you call your pet, it affects the level of pet you are able to summon, and it can ‘gate’ the level of the pet once it is summoned. Summoning: This is the meat of the Taming tree. Heal Creature: Does exactly what it says on the tin.This skill does absolutely nothing for you once you have tamed a pet (or acquired an already tamed pet from another tamer). Tame Creature: Arguably the most worthless skill in the game, yet obviously necessary for a Tamer.If you don’t know what any of that means yet, don’t worry, you'll have plenty of time to think about it while you are mining silver. All skills in the Taming tree are 1x, meaning they take about 1.21 gigawatts…sorry, 1.21 million XP to GM and Taming Specialization, like many (all?) others is 20x, meaning it will take about 24.2 million XP to GM. Fortunately, you have me as your guide on your foray into the wonderful world of Taming!įirst, a brief overview of the Taming Skill Tree. Getting started in Taming can be a daunting task: an entire skill tree, fifteen skills, a specialization, and a vast continent full of wild, magical creatures waiting for you to slip a collar around their neck. Ten years from now when Portalarium reissues SotA Classic there may be need for the original again. Hello again, Tamers! The original version of this guide has gotten a bit long in the tooth, and instead of edit it I decided to leave the original as a monument to Taming as it was in Release 40 and write a version 2.0 for Release 70.
