hmm, no tamer, but going of data I think is correct.

Bonding just means keeping them happy for a week.

They should bond in stables or while you ride them.

Usually 1 week. If not in stable, remember to feed it and command it.

You cannot use Pet Summoning balls until after they are bonded.

Stable Method:
- Feed and command to follow you, then stable. Wait one week. After one week, remove from stable, feed and command. Should be bonded.

Ride Method:
- Ride as ya do, don't let it die. Or you can be logged off on it, for a week, same as stabling I believe.
- When riding, I'm old school, new pets I used to feed (or try to feed) every 30 minutes and give 5 follow me commands.
After 1 week should bond.

Once bonded, you can click the Pet Summoning ball, and target the pet you want it to call/bond with. You can't be mounted of course. Charge ball with powder of translocation of course.

Pet Summoning balls, do not work in all locations all the time. There are varying degrees of where it will work and why. Perhaps a tamer will step in and correct me.

Good Luck,
