Regarding Re-tames


Each re-tame attempt makes the animal more difficult, you can add this table to the base taming difficulty of an animal to see where on the taming scale they will now be.


Wild____ 00.0
1 Owner_+04.8
2 Owners+19.2
3 Owners+43.2
4 Owners+76.8

After 5 owners it can no longer be re-tamed by anyone, you will keep getting the message "the animal has had too many owners"

Orders

To use an order, say the pets name or all then the order, the pet will decide if it wants to obey you or not. Pets that require less than 30 taming skill will obey orders from anyone that owns or is friended to them, providing they have been recently fed. For pets with over 30 taming the game looks at the pets base taming requirement, current happiness, then the owners or friends taming and animal lore skill (and possibly checks to see if person need to eat).

(all or Name) follow me: The pet follows you
(all or Name) stay: The pet stays
(Name) Kill: The pet will attack whatever you target
(all or Name) guard me: The pet will attack anything that attacks you

(all or Name) release: Use this to re-lease a tamed animal, Be extremely careful not to say that around pets that you wish to keep.


(Name) drop: Drops whatever loot the pet had on them, onto the ground.

(Name) follow: The pet will follow whomever you target

(Name) friend: This will make a pet treat another person as a friend. Its a good way to loan someone a horse, but not a good way to use a combat animal.

(Name) guard: Pet will guard whatever you target. Presently this only works if you target living things.
(All or Name) stop: Pet stops doing whatever its doing.

(Name) transfer: Use to transfer ownership of a pet from you to a new person.

Control Table for the big 4

Combined control rating is 70% of a characters taming skill and 30% of a characters lore skill. Animal Lore is a Necessary skill to have to use the big 4, you cant even have a dragon transferred to you if you have less than 70/70 taming and lore, or a night mare with less than 60/60 taming and lore.

This table assumes that the pet is at maximum happiness (has just been fed), PLEASE keep in mind that if you give a pet an order and the pet does not carry out that order he will go down on the happiness scale, each time they slide down the happiness scale, its a -5% chance of them obeying the next order you give them. For example if you are an 80/80 tamer and you tell a dragon "all follow me" you have a 35% chance of success. If you give the order and the dragon does not follow you (as would happen 65% of the time) the dragon will probably loose a level of Loyalty/happiness, which means you only have a 30% chance of it obeying the next order you give it. If you spam out "all follow me" "all follow me" "all follow me" "all follow me" and it still hasn't followed you, you now have only a 15% chance of getting it to obey. Two things, 1-make sure you carry a lot of food because you will have to feed it constantly, the lower level tamer you are the more you will have to feed it. (Even GM tamer/GM lore players should feed at least once every 10 minutes or so). 2-Keep training to get your taming and animal lore level up.

Rough % of orders obeyed
L = Less than 1 in 20 orders will be obeyed.

Loyalty Table

Use animal lore for a loyalty check aka the Happiness scale, The are most apt to obey on the top of this scale, and least obedient/ready to go wild on the bottom of the scale. Feeding a pet something will instantly make them "wonderfully happy". The difficulty to tame a pet determines how fast it will slip down the scale. Pets like horses can go for 3 hours or more without going wild, but things like dragons can go from wonderfully happy, to wild in under 20 minutes. In addition to feeding the pet, if you leave a pets Line of Sight they loose loyalty at a very rapid rate.
