I'm a Tamer/Discorder/Peacer at 3rd dot of Follower and I gain Honor slower than an arthritic, uniplegic snail climbing up a wall!

These are my "effective" skills:
Taming = 120
Lore = 120
Vet = 120
Music = 115
Disco = 120
Peace = 115
Chiv = 50

Are there any Honor-gaining secret tricks? What should I Honor? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I hope this is a little helpful How do I use / gain virtues?

Hmm. I may not have been clear in my post. I have gained to approximately mid Honor and I do, in fact, understand the mechnics of gaining and using Honor. I have achieved Knight status in Honor on Mages and Melee chars. What I do not understand is how to efficiently and speedily gain Honor as a Tamer/Bard.

Sorry but the post you referenced doesn't appear to answer my question. It appears to be UO's brief manual of Honor functionality and not the secrets of gaining Honor. Am I missing something?

Here is the beastary on Stratics with fame/karma
UO Stratics - Fame and Karma Gain

Okay
I just killed (by pet only no Bard intervention) 32 Honored Ice Fiends (Ice lvl 2) which I believe are Balrons. My Honor increased from 3rd dot Follower to....3rd dot Follower. Not all that impressive really.

This is what I am trying to avoid...wasting game time. There must be a better way???

not sure what to tell you, the pet gives you the penalty.I'm sure some tamers will be on in the morning who can give some advice.

I am sooo proud of my UO Honor accomplishments!!!
I started out with only 3rd dot Follower and then my char killed 32 Honored Ice Deamons (Balrons) without Bard intervention. I am so proud that we gained from 3rd dot Follower all the way up to 3rd dot Follower! This is a testament to diligence and perseverance...absolute zero gain!!!

Then the best is yet to come! I am sooooo entirely proud that my my char killed (via pets and no Bardic influence) 32 Honored Sphynx and gained exactly nothing, zero, ziltch, nada, nothing. Not a single Honor gain. And yet, the Sphynx is the eleventh most likely creature to afford my char a gain.

So after killing 32 Ice Deamons and 32 Sphinxs, my char gained absolutlely zero Honor, I am soooo proud and happy. This is as it should be! Screw me!!!

For what its worth, I don't believe barding it up will effect the gains one way or another.

Ice Fiends are much lower karma/fame than balrons! Try the real balron, ancient wyrms, or succubi for a true opponent. Maybe paragon versions of some lower monsters might work too. On a bard, honor the critter, area peace (not direct peace), and commence spelling with a slayer spellbook some vortex, ebolts,etc. Your discording the monster will help too, and not detract from gaining honor. If you use a pet, make sure it is in guard mode. And most important...try not to honor yourself, (been there and done that way too many times).
