how much lore?

Merion · 9th January 2008, 07:59 AM

This may be a stupid question, but why do I need 120 Animal Lore? At the moment I'm at 115 and my pets do what I want, so what are the perks of having 120? Hmm... Why even have 120 taming? With 110 I can tame everything, so why invest more? At this high level you don't go taming much anyway but already have your trained pets... Seems like I have a Tamer-Identity crisis

, but seriously the only skill I clearly see the benefits of having 120 in, is veterinary. So please enlighten me, cause I'm sure there are some good reasons to keep skilling.

As a side not, maybe you can tame "everything" at 110, but I bet it takes a LOT of tries on some things lol. I'd rather have 115 or 120 taming and have a faster taming rate.

So it's all about the stable slots... I hoped there were better reasons, but I guess this has to suffice.

@jfk:
As I said, I hardly tame anything these days. I have a mare, a fire steed, a unicorn, two cu sidhes, a WW, a dragon, a rune beetle and blue beetle. So there's not much need to tame anything. And if I want to tame anything, because I stumble over a blaze cu or such, I simply put on some jewels to boost me to 120.

But at the mom I playing with the thought a getting 4 ice worms, so maybe I can use those extra stable slots. Anybody got a link to the exact calculation for stable slots or maybe know by heart?

For every ten points above GM in Taming, Vet or Lore you get one extra slot. I believe with 120 in everything you have 14 slots total.

No real need to raise it, as you said yourself just slap on the jewels get the slots then take em off when youve stabled pets

Merion · 10th January 2008, 03:44 PM

You're saying, the stable slots are calculated by the modified skill and not the real skill? Are you sure?

**merth** · 10th January 2008, 03:57 PM

100% positive

Merion · 10th January 2008, 05:37 PM

Wow, that's most useful to know! Thanks!

I can understand getting level 120 in Veterinary but 110 taming and Lore should be sufficient for most needs IMHO

You have 100% control of Every animal short of Fire Steed. And its fairly easy to find a ring or braclet with +10 Animal Tmaing and lore for when you actually want to do some taming

edit: just did search on one of those Web sites taht have venor comparisons and on atlantic, my shard, found a +8 lore, +9 tmaing, +3 dex, +12% defense ring for only 250k.
