Taming sheep

[Neat234]

I don't know if it's a bug or what but every time I try and tame mouflon I do all the steps and use quell the beast. It comes up with the yellow 20 saying I got 20 tameness. I walk all away so the whole herd isn't in combat with me. I come back and sit and wait. But nothing happens after that. I've waited 30 minutes several times after restarting and he never re-engages with me. I tame them the exact same way I tamed aurochsen and it worked fine for them. Is there something blatantly obvious i'm doing wrong?

Yeah, you are really not supposed to disengage the herd. Just engage another sheep and by the time you finish with it, the first one would probably aggro again. Or simply wait 5-15 minutes in your boat near the first sheep doing nothing. That's exactly how i did it and it worked.

If you walk to far the connection to the sheep your taming is lost. Walk so far as your outside the range where Call Down the Thunder stops working. Wait till one of the herb memberts drops aggro and then aggro said member.

Also make 100% sure you NEVER aggro the same sheep your taming or you will break the taming system and will have to deaggro the sheep your taming (in the manner described above) to start taming him again.

personally i find it best to ignore the other sheep since they are penned with fence or whatever you choose and stand about one square outside the range of the first sheep you quelled, they dont need to lose aggro on you, just standing about a block away, one square ingame, will do, because he will just sit there and not move, facing you sometimes, and others not. BUT all of the sheep you have not quelled will be twitching at you. when the one your quelling (or 2 if you are multi taming) start twitching also, they are ready, and you should begin again with call thunder, etc.. then another quell. rinse repeat, and about 40 mins later youll be done. ive found staying directly between the 2 im taming works great if theyre close, because neither will move until they break the quell and are ready to be processed again.

What I do, is lead the animal I'm taming away and unaggro the herd, then come back then aggro a member of the herd again, this gets the entire herd (including the animal I'm taming) to attack, so I can then quell the animal I'm taming. This seems to be the quickest and most reliable method. Once my UA and agility is high enough I don't need to bother penning the other animal, unless I'm having trouble timing the quell (as sometimes the cooldown for whatever move to reduce intensity is longer than the animal's ability to re-engage intensity, even when I use meditation).
