Thanks again to Snowflake of Baja, UO Stratics Baja Reporter, we are excited to share with all of you aspiring Tamers a fully updated and complete PROFESSIONS: THE TAMER essay, now with details regarding the Veterinary skill as well! Here's a taste of what you'll find:

Let's start with one of the main skills - veterinary.

Vet is a vital part of any tamer's template. The vet skill not only keeps your pet alive in a bad situation, but at different levels of skill offers other benefits as well:
# At 60 you will have the chance of curing poison on your pet.
# At 80 you will have the chance at rezzing a dead BONDED pet.
# At 100 you will gain an extra stable slot.
# At 110 you will gain another extra stable slot.
# And at 120, you will gain yet another stable slot. (Lore and Taming also give you extra slots at 100, 110, and 120)

To give you an idea of how many pets this is, I'll share what I currently have in the stable.

My character has - 116 taming, 113 lore, 120 vet ( am always rearranging jewelry but try to keep things about the same skill level)

My current list of pets -
1 iron colored cu sidhe
1 agapite cu sidhe
1 valorite cu sidhe
1 shadow cu sidhe (yes, I know, a lot of dogs... someone asked if my life was going to the dogs.... if you only knew... lol)
1 greater hiryu
1 white wyrm
2 firesteeds
1 rune beetle
1 nightmare
1 unicorn
1 red dragon
1 horse (hey, sometimes I want to ride instead of run when hunting with a pet)
---------------------------
Grand total - 13 pets plus whatever I'm riding

As you can see, having higher taming skills bring the benefit of more choices of pets!

So if you've ever considered becoming a Tamer, or just want to find out what their world is like, then PROFESSIONS: THE TAMER essay is the 3-Part essay that you'll definitely not want to miss!

Enjoy!
