What level of monster should I be able to capture for a pet.
Q1. By that I mean if I am level 60 can I tame a pet of level 40?
What about one with level higher than my player?

Q2. Are there monsters that just cannot be tamed?
I am guessing bosses and mini bosses are not but what about others?
Q3. Can mobs in dungeons be tamed?

I am asking as I have been trying to tame a backstabbing scorpion and have been successful after an hour with the monster's life kept at less than 10% of its max.

    Answer 1 :You can tame only pets equal or lower to your level .
    Answer 2 :Yes there are monsters than cannot be tamed .
    Answer 3:Yes ,a few of them can .
    The monsters that can be tamed have a "pet" small head at left down corner of the monster info when you target it. There are 3 colors.Green (that means you can easy tame it),yellow (that means you maybe not tame it with first try) and red ( that means you cant tame it at your current level). Also taming pet need to level your taming skill for more success attempts.Higher level,better chances to tame it.

    Thank you that helps me a lot.

    Should I be able to tame a level 40 monster at my level of 64 with Taming skill level 6?
    If so are there some other skills I need to level in order to help with the taming action?
    b:thanks

    I'm not sure how exactly these "chances" work in game, i was always able to tame pet with 10-20% hp even with lvl 1 tame skill. At the same time i failed a lot at 40% hp with maximum pet tame lvl. For me it looks like it adds nothing but distance of casting.
    Better use another pet to decrease your target's hp little by little or hit it with veno if your attack is not too high to kill it by accident. Another pet is better for that purpose, since veno can crit while pet can't, and some mobs interrupt channeling, so it will be better if your target attaks your pet, not you. When its HP at about 10-20%, make your pet stop attacking and cast tame skill. Even though it is said "chance is higher, chance is lower" you will surely tame your mob, if you are careful with attack and do everything right.

    OK. I tamed a level 30 monster so will try another at a higher level.

    Thank you for all your help.

    I wonder if anyone has made a list of those monsters that just cannot be tamed?
