Taming++

Taming:
I used yakka's way to GM taming and wanted to share some additional macros and notes.

I used one taming macro for both locations: Dagger and Jhelom bull pens. This macro is greedy and will try to tame the first thing it sees that requires the most skill to tame. Meaning: it will look for bulls, then white wolves, then snow leopards, then polar bears, then walrus. A word of warning for Dagger, if there is something you can't tame on the edge of the screen, it will try to tame it, you will get a message that it's too far away, and you won't tame anything. So, only drag things that you can actually tame or the harder animal will block the macro. I also moved the boat a few tiles away from the shore to add more distance. If this causes too much grief I would definitely use yakka's macros.

On dagger, it is best to bring over two or more trolls, the macro will try to retame a tame animal if it doesn't die fast enough. The more trolls you have the faster the tamed animals will be killed off and respawn. In Jhelom one silver serpant is enough to kill all your animals.

I prefer a hiding, peacemaking, and provocation on the toon doing the dragging on Dagger; it makes things easier IMO. If you keep one of the planks unlocked you can drag to the boat, board the boat, and hold agro on the bard until the taming macro attacks. If you're dragging long distances it helps to keep the animal health bars up and reattack every screen or so. If you don't do this the animal might lose interest and wander off.

The taming macro uses two 5 second delays in the form of attacking the grays around you. The 1st 5 second delay is at the start of the macro and will run every loop. The 2nd is at the end, and will only run if you start taming something. This gives you a 5 second delay in between each check for something to tame that leads to no taming attempt and a 10 second delay if you start taming something.  (NOTE: This macro calls itself, make sure it's named "AnimalTaming")

Herding:
In Jhelom, if you want to optimize your gains you will need to use your other toons to herd the bulls towards your tamer. The herding macros were designed for the west fenced in area; the herders hide inside the fence, the tamer stands outside on the north east corner. You can always play with herder placement or the relative location values to make this work on the east pen.

There are two primary herding spots inside the fence that worked well for me. If you can recruit help (PM me) you can set up a third herder and things will go even smoother. You can get from 71.1 to GM completely AFK with three herders and no PKs.

An easy way to get additional gains, if the east fenced in area isn't being used, is to have someone periodically drag bulls from the east area to the west area. You can also drag the non-bulls out of the west pen and move them to the east pen to reduce the number of animals in your way.

These macros use the object in your hand so be sure to equip your crooks. If something goes wrong or you have questions about my set up, feel free to ask!

Thanks for the well thought out guide, and for helping me raise my taming in exchange for the screenshots Smile

I wanted to interject here as well, I have been meaning to clean up the Silver Serpent spawners on Jhelom Island as there should not be any on it. Just use the Giant Serpents in their place - and there are plenty of them.

I know this is old, but trust me all the way back in 98 I died on Jhelom island to failed dial up with silver serpents on my ass more than once.  There was always one.  Part or griefing was dragging into pen to make tamer lives a pain. At least on Atlantic server.
