If a newbie needs some gold, or...how raise taming

Post by Nightstarwolf »

After being asked a few times, how to do, I decided to write it down now.
Even though skill guides are at wiki, some people not seem to be familar
with that.

So, here is one way, how to do:

Lets say, you choosed totally different starting skills and have none of the following
choosed. (if any of these are choosen, you need to check, where you can go on).

1.)
Go to any town and watch out for an NPC, which wants an escort.
Lead him to his destination and claim your reward.
(This point will pay all your costs !!)

2.)
Go to Moonglow mage shop (north of the bank) and buy 20 bottles

3.)
Go to moonglow tailor (its directly north behind the mage shop)
and buy 20 dyes

4.)
Head back to the teleporter and go to trinsic stable
Buy a brush from the animal trainer.
Also buy you starting animal taming from him.

(And never forget to get the taming bods when he offers some.
Start collecting those as soon as possible but dont do them before GM taming.
If you have the right collection of bods, you may be rewarded with a 120 taming PS, so thats why)

By your escort reward, that money should cover all your costs until here already.

5.)
Now doubleclick the brush and start creating normal pet dyes.
Do this until your materials run out.
Its your choice, which colour you choose.

6.)
After finishing, get off your starting rideable lama, doubleclick your created pet dyes
and click your pet. repeat until all petdyes are gone.

7.)
Now you have some dirty bottles, head over to the water barrels at the stable and clean them. (doubleclick the bottles, then the waterbarrel)
You will get some clean empty bottles again which saves some costs later on.

8.)
Now repeat Escort - Bottle buy - dye buy - brush buy - creating - until you hit skill 40.0 at taming.
As you will have a few coins over top, buy animal lore starting skill as well vetenary from the animal trainer too.

9.)
From here, its time to make some money besides the escorts.
Get into the taming forrest and tame 5 forrest or desert ostards.
Leave your starting lama in the bankbox, as you wont need it anymore.
(Sure, you can use one of the ostards as mount.)

10.)
Head over to Yew, head south-east and visit the sheep corrals.
Shear all sheeps to get their wool (one corral owns 15 sheeps - there are 2 corrals, so 30 wool possible)
Now head back to any tailor, use your wool on the spinning wheel to get threads and use those on the loom to get cloth.
Buy a scissor and cut down the cloth 2x to get bandages.
( 30 wool -> 90 thread -> 30 bolt of cloth -> 1500 cloth -> 1500 bandages)
Now you have enough bandages to heal your pets, if needed.

11.)
Now head over to delucia and kills some bulls for training your ostards.
Keep you eye on min/max dmg and HP, forget about the rest.
These ostards are just to make a bit money and train your vet.
Once the ostards are trained up, head over to Despise-dungeon, choose LV 2 and kill ettins and earth-eles. You should be able to clear the whole dungeon with 5 ostards.
Means, you may do about 12k gold after one run.

12.)
With this gold buy some jewels with animal taming on.
You need a total of 20.0 taming.
Forget about any other stats, so just buy them as cheap as possible.

13.)
Now you raised your taming from 40.0 to 60.0 and can start creating Unique pet dyes.
Repeat the ole Escort - bottle - dye - brush for material and create unique dyes now.
After hitting 80.0, wear off the jewels and you will find yourself with a clear 60.0 taming skill. Now you can go on with those unique dyes until real 80.0 skill.

14.)
At reaching 80.0, you should switch over to rare pet dyes, which take you to 100.

15.)
So, now you have your taming at 100, lore maybe at 35 and vet at 40.
Time to raise lore too, which can be easy done by just lore your own pets by macro.
After maybe a day, you should have taming and lore at 100.

Additional:
If you got some magery or chivalry, try to get some runes, mark scrolls (if needed), a rune book and mark all the spots above for easier workout.



Final)
To start saving up for some decent money makers, just tame yourself 5 frenzied ostards.
Check for them to have at least lv 28 - 30 and train them up.
Those will rock Despise like a knife in the butter.

So, by now, you can decide to start breeding the lower pets or try to save up for other like mules. Once you are able to get the high 120 taming and lore PS, you also can use nobles or imps, which maybe is your future goal.


Just to say at least:

Most will ask now, how long evrything will take.
To get GM taming and lore, you should be able to reach them by 2 days at least without doing powerplay. Also will serve you about ~50k gold by hunting and escorts, which is a nice starter to get a house maybe.

OK, maybe all those melee bunnys now will say, they rock dungeons far earlier or whatever. Running around with high gear, possibly relayed or gifted etc. and try to proll.
By the above, its just own work and who reached, can be proud of.
Surely, pets are just the medium future goal anyway, as once, you will try to hit the 220 god mode. But to go there, pets help decently to make your money basement, so this guide hopefully helps.
I need to say, its surely not THE way, but a way to do.

If anyone wants to add some useful advices, feel free to do so,
same as correcting me at points, I may be wrong.

Happy hunting and never forget to feed your pets. ;)

I'd like to say thanks for posting this. Also like to add to use some gold earned for tokens or save some up to get pet bonding deeds. Comes in handy.

For the above, no bonded pets are needed, but its a goal to bond owns pets in far future to avoid loss for sure.
I can say, mostly just one run for gold is needed, as taming jewels are fairly cheap.
So not much tokens come out of this.

In the moment, someone is able to tame frenzied ostards ( 77.1 needed) and starts breeding them to, my guess, 5-6 gen., he will have some nice low dungeon killers without need of much pet-heal. And probably 5-10 runs will fit to have enough tokens to buy some pet bonding deeds by tokens then. Additional serves "a few coins" too ;)


The plan for pets usually is mostly the following:

- Ostards/bears as starting money makers
- Breeded ostards / Nightmares or similar as first money hunters / Noobchamp killers.
- Mules ( Come from the Noob- or MoA-Champ) until nobles can be afforded
- Nobles ( Spawn in Trammel dungeons but random spots) until imps can be afforded
- Imps

Truly said, after reaching 100 taming and lore, the upcoming tamer should have no more worrys about making money in any way.
Just takes some time to save up and the right spawnplace to choose.

Maybe one thing left to mention:

There are a few differences between mules and nobles.
Even though both look like horses, some benefits, one or other side has.

Mules:
- Poison resistant
- Packhorse ( The No. 1 choose for evry miner as guard ;P )
- No pack instinct
- casts magic and does melee attacks
- Need meat to feed
- Prices (atm) are about 200k for a decent maxed out mule.

Nobles
- Normal max 75 resistances
- no bagpack
- Packinstinct ( Serves more dmg, if more of the same kind are in the hunting pack)
Instinct belongs to demon, so also nightmares can work together.
- massive melee dmg
- Needs meat to feed
- Prices (atm) are about 150-175k for a decent maxed out noble.

A good noble may have about:
1100 HP, 550 stamina, 110+ for wrestling, tactics, anatomy and magic resist

Well thanks very much for the information. This will definitely help with my taming, and vet skills.

Added bonus is I didn't know where to find the sheep pens in yew until you posted it, which wool will also help with working on my tailoring.

Thanks again. :)
