With 100 UA you can tame a boar in a fair fight if you know what you're doing (if you can't kill a boar without taking damage don't even try). As for cows and sheep, only if you fight just one of them at a time (ie trap the rest of the herd).

Aurochs are not to be trifled with.

Imo boars are the easiest to tame. And not only that, you can also tame them very quick.
I tamed mine on grassland with just running away and making one move when the cooldown was gone, after i got enough IP wit call down the thunder. So the boar never did anything serious, battle intensity was also not an issue. That works well since boars are really slow :)
Also you can get immediatetly get aggro again by standing next to them. With cows i had to wait up to 20 minutes :/

Then you're doing it wrong. You can get an aurochs to reaggro immediately by attacking a member of the herd other than the one you are trying to tame. Same with mouflon. You do need to walk away to break combat, though, so it's not a 0 time effort, but then neither is getting the boar to reaggro from aggressiveness, either.

No need to even do that. Just signposts are enough.

I've read many things about trapping animals. :( But none of it makes a bit of sense to me.

Easiest animal to tame?

Post by ChickenSlim »

I've got the "pattern" down, and getting ready to tame my first animal... Wondering what the easiest animal would be to tame, just incase it isn't the "smoothest" attempt.

Boar? U can outrun him, he is not in herd, and with decent armor he won't knock you.
