Hello:
Noob here ......Can someone explain the pet taming process....everytime I click on "tame pet" icon I get a failed message and wondering what I'm doing wrong ???? I was thinking that the pet taming is similiar to other games where you click the icon and then the pet gets put in your pet list ???????

    You'll be more successful if you wait till the HP of the mob you're trying to tame is lower than half b:victory

    Just make sure your pet doesn't kill it before you finish casting the tame spell! lol

    you get some options. one of them - i cant remember off the top of my head, teaches you pet skills. Like Tame, Heal, and Revive for your pets.

    no the venomancer trainer doesnt teach these pet skills, oviously. weeee b:bye

    Also, to learn this skill, you have to have done the lvl 7 "Sacred Beast" quest.

    The option you're looking for is "Tame Pet" if I'm not mistaken.

    I've found it easier to tame the pet after casting the "Ironwood Scarab" skill on the creature you intend to tame. I'm sure it's because of the armor breaking aspect of the spell.

    I've never failed taming while the beast is "armor broken" but I believe it's just coincidence.

    It's just a coincidence as it's the amount of health it has left that determines success or failure.

    Mayhap it's the amount of damage that Ironwood Scarab does. If I recall correctly, is does a higher amount than Venomous Scarab.

    All that matters is how much health it has left. How you get there is irrelevant.

    I tamed my scout lynxus when I was level 12 or 13.

    I had my pet attack and then I started taming. When my tame finished channeling, my pet had done 75% damage and my tame worked. I had to try twice, though, because my first lynxus died because I waited too long before I started taming him.

    Also, if I were having problems in a quest because I was taking too much damage, and my pet was dying, I would use fox form. Or maybe I would ask a tiger to help me?

    another aspect you have to consider is how tamable is the pet. By that I mean that next to its name it should be having a green (or orange but that will be tougher) little face. If it doesn't have that, then it cannot be tamed. If it is red it again will fail. If orange, your chances are good but not as good as when it is green... also make sure you have at least one empty space in your bag

    A lot of this has been said already, but I'd just like to sum it up. The factors that need to be considered are the pet's hp, the pet's lvl, and whether or not the pet is even tameable. Only certain mobs can become tamed pets (this is indicated by the little icon that looks like a face). When you click on the mob, you'll see their status bar on your screen. Next to their name (in that status bar), there is a picture of what looks like an animal face. If that isn't there, it cannot ever be tamed. If the pet is a higher lvl than you, you must wait till you reach that lvl to tame it. The closer the mob is to your lvl, the lower you need to drop it's hp before you tame it. Also, certain mobs can be tamed easier than others.

    As for needing 1400 hp for a lvl 12 quest... that'll never happen. Each class can solo every quest quite easily up until lvl 19. If you are having trouble with a quest at lvl 12, you must simply learn to use the venomancer's best tool (it's pet) a little better.

    for that matter I suggest you read the guides on the top of the veno forum as they have valuable information. if you further use the forum search, you can find other similar forums and see the replies there too
    ..and since PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT experiment a lil with ur pet and different fighting styles until u find ur proper one

    oh and about the ability to solo as a veno, I (with a walker) managed to solo farng (a miniboss) at 31 as well as many other mobs/ minibosses etc and that keeps on and on and on we can tank and dd what more is there to ask?

    okay, so I have a weird problem. My taming icon was working fine until level 12... and suddenly it is "greyed" out and unavaiable. I tried clicking on the scout lynxus to see if it would make itself available and it didn't work. I went to the pet trainer and the skill is clearly activated. I'm totally at a loss. Have I run into a glitch or is there something else I need to do? (i read through a lot of threads and haven't come across someone who has the same problem). HELP!!

    You can learn the tame skill when you have the skill book you get after doing the level 7 Sacred Beast quest.
