Overview of taming

[Sonderleaf]

Thank you 32012323 for a useful and informative post.
I have followed your instructions to the letter, but have ran into problems.
Don't know if it's a bug or if I am missing something.

Here's what happened:
I have successfully managed to tame the soon to be cow the first of supposed five times, the first yellow 20 floated above it's head. When that happened, the soon to be cow stopped fighting me and was willing to follow me around. "Now we play the waiting game.", I thought to myself. So we did, we waited and waited and waited for about half an hour. On wiki it says that the soon to be cow, should aggro again within a time span of ten minutes. After a half hour wait it still didn't. The mad cow avatar in the upper right corner was present all this time, along with the scales and the soon to be cows mad friend's avatars. I decided to stable this weird creature in our village and try to loose it's focus, so I could try and tame it again. It didn't work. Entering houses did not break it's focus, the mad cow's avatar was still there. So I re-logged. This helped, as the cow's avatar was gone and after a while it stopped following me around.

A second try is in order. This time there was only one of these creatures. Upon reaching the first yellow floating number 20, a successful Quell, the creatures focus disappeared, its avatar and the scales were gone and the creature stopped fighting and started following. The waiting game again, this time 15min passed and nothing, no aggro. Tried to Quell it again, but couldn't use the skill on it. So I re-logged.

Third time is a charm, they say. Well, it didn't help here. Everything pretty much happened as it did in the second try. The 'I don't want to be a cow' creature was there, not aggroing again, just following me around.

Some more info:
- I used the same creature for this

- my required base stats:
Strength 22
Agility 22
Constitution 16
Dexterity 24

- required skills:
Animal Husbandry
Unarmed Combat
Brawling
Militia Training
Soldier Training
Leadership
Fire & Ice

- had the rope equipped

- had leather armor

- the creature did not turn into a cow or a bull

I think this is it. Any kind of insight would be helpful.

That is so awesome that they spawn on man made grass!!!!!!!!!! That means you can live ANYWHERE! (Except desert......)

[sabinati]

you can plant grass directly on "desert", which is actually a mudflat not a desert.

You could make the little peak of a mountain into a spawn for chickens, heh.

i didnt managed to plant grass on a mountain, did you?

[UnrealJake]

Never tried, too busy at home to go to a mountain.

On the bright side, my own grasslands I planted had its first spawn of chickens! Somebody put them in the cellar though and now they have all gone ^.^

And why my cows have food Q7 if i feed them with Q44 food ?

I have had a similar experience. Got the first round of taming in, but cow will not attack me at all , it's been a long time now, like 40 minutes. I cannot Quell it either.

[sadartist]

probably someone else has it aggroed, happened to me in the past. Me and a friend aggroed them, i tamed once, waited 1h and it did not attack, we eventually realised the problem, he left to get un-aggroed and the cow attacked me later.

Bumping this. If you mods can sticky I think this thread is deserving.
