::::HUNTING::::

To tame pets, you have to be a Hunter. To become a Hunter at level 10 (1 Dan 0 Kyu) you speak to the Hunter Trainer on the top level of Dragon Castle (he's on your map) and choose your job as Hunter. From the trainer you will get the Taming Skill. You need to pump skill points into it before the Howl of Tame skill can be used.

To put skills on your toolbar, open your skill page (B), if its the first time you have opened it pump some skill points into the Howl of Tame skill with the little +, then drag the opened skill to your toolbar. Right-click the skill on your toolbar or use the corresponding number key to use it on a mob.

You need to be at least the level of the animal you are taming or higher for it to work best. At beginning levels, you can only tame the wolves and bears in the Highlands. You cant tame the larger boss wolf or bear at all (although many have tried lol).

Taming can be tricky, basically you have to get the mob down to 10% or less HP (you can click his hp bar to see numbers). If he dies too fast to get to 10% then use your bare fists. Using manual attack instead of auto attack (press F key to toggle) helps keep you from accidentally killing it when you get the HP low.

Then (with weapon equipped) use the tame skill which should be on your toolbar at the bottom (right click it or use the corresponding number key).

If tame doesnt work it sometimes will heal the mob, just keep trying Smile The healing means the skill did land, it just failed. If it dies when you use tame, look in your inventory, you may have caught him!

The class mounts in VS are difficult because they heal themselves. A good Para weapon or having a Physician/Combat Medic with Para skill in your party will help a lot Smile Unless you are quite a bit higher than the class mounts you will most likely need a taming party to have enough damage to get their hp down to 10% or less.

If you mouse over the tame skill on your toolbar it shows the Taming Ability. I believe this number matches up with the mob level your tame skill will work on. Adding skill points will up this number.

When you catch your first pet wolf, you can equip him by right clicking his icon in your inventory and to pull him out (or put him away) press the T key (with chat box closed lol). Dont forget to feed him! Wolves and Bears like meat food you can buy at the tavern Smile If he dies (oh you meanie!) buy Dead Spirit Incense at the Horse shop out the north gate in DC for 10k (or cheaper sometimes to buy from players). To use it, just right click the incense. You will get more of these pet revival incense from Lots and drops eventually Smile
