Animal Taming

Skill & Stat Reduction After Taming

When a creature is tamed for the very first time, it does **not** retain its full wild strength. This is intentional and helps balance powerful pets.

General Rule

• Newly tamed creatures lose a portion of their original skills.
• The amount lost depends on **how the creature was tamed** and **what type of creature it is**.
• These reductions only occur on the **first tame**.

---

Standard Taming

• Most creatures retain **90% of their original skill potential**
• This means their skills train up to **90% of what they had in the wild**

---

Paralyzed During Taming

• If the creature was **paralyzed while being tamed**, it retains slightly less
• Skills are reduced to **86% of their original values**

---

Greater Dragons & Ice Dragons

These creatures receive special handling due to their extreme power.

• All skills are reduced to **72% of their original values**
• Skills may only train up to **90%** of their original maximum
• **Magery** is reduced even further:
  • Magery skill starts at **90%**
  • Magery can only ever train to **90%** of its original cap

---

Stat Loss

Some creatures suffer additional **stat loss** after being tamed.

• If a creature has post-tame stat loss:
  • Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence are reduced to **75%** of their original values

These reductions ensure:

• Powerful pets remain valuable but balanced

• Wild creatures are stronger than their tamed counterparts
