Information
The only way to tame creatures is with this skill. It's also a very good skill to have, because once you hit the mid-90's to 100 you can tame dragons, nightmares, and drakes. Plus you can tame ostards, horses, and polar bears. Horses and ostards are great because noone likes to walk, and polar bears are great because 2-3 of them can tear through an Orc Spawn (provided you keep them healed).

Items Needed
An animal to tame.

What to tame and when:

• When attempting to tame high-level monsters (drakes, dragons, etc), fight them until they have about 1/10th life, but do not fight them until they run/fly away. Once they have low life, attempt tame them. If you don't, you will probably die and/or not be able to tame it. (Thanks Violet.)
• And from ProQuo: I use the Paralyze trick (paralyze the creature then stand 2-3 tiles away) to work my taming on Agressive monsters in dungeons. You simply invis after you tame and you have a fully healed monster to do your bidding. If you knock its health down, then if another dragon or imp or fire lizard spawns, your pet is dead meat. Yes you can still gm off of anything in the desert.
