The Dire Wolf is the toughest of the wolves. It attacks on sight, hits hard for its size and needs 83.1 Animal Taming. Taming them has its own New Bradford achievement.
Overview
- In-game name: a dire wolf
- Corpse: a dire wolf corpse
- Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
Stats
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Strength | 96–120 |
| Dexterity | 81–105 |
| Intelligence | 36–60 |
| Hit points | 58–72 |
| Stamina | 81–105 (same as its Dexterity) |
| Mana | 0 |
| Melee damage | 11–17 |
| Armor rating | 22 |
| Fame / Karma | 2,500 / −2,500 |
Skills
| Skill | Range |
|---|---|
| Wrestling | 60.1–80.0 |
| Magic Resistance | 57.6–75.0 |
| Tactics | 50.1–70.0 |
Taming
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum Animal Taming | 83.1 (below this you have no chance) |
| Control slots | 1 |
| Maximum owners | 5 (each previous owner makes it harder to tame) |
| Bonding | Yes |
| Rideable | No |
| Favorite food | Meat |
- Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about 34% at 100.0 skill, and it improves as your skill rises. Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
- Don't hurt it. If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with "The animal is too angry to continue taming."
- Stay close. You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
- Obedience. Once tamed, how often it obeys depends on your Animal Taming and Animal Lore (taming counts four times as much as lore). With both at 83.1 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 88.0 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 83.1 the chance drops quickly, to as low as 22%.
- Re-taming. If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds ("That wasn't even challenging.").
- After its first tame, its skills drop to 90% of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.
- Dark wolf familiar. A tamer whose summoned familiar is a dark wolf can always tame dire, grey, timber and white wolves.
Pack instinct
Dire wolves hunt better in groups. When several of your pets from the same pack group (the canine group: wolves, dogs and hell hounds) attack the same creature while standing next to it (within 1 tile), each gets extra melee damage:
- 2 pets: +25%
- 3 pets: +50%
- 4 pets: +75%
- 5 or more: +100%
All the pets must have the same owner. The bonus only applies against other creatures, not against players.
Bonding
Only the owner can bond with a dire wolf, and they need at least 83.1 Animal Taming (base skill). Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after 7 days to finish. When you see "Your pet has bonded with you!", it's done.
New Bradford achievement
Every dire wolf you tame counts toward the Tame 100 Dire Wolfs goal in your Achievements. Only your first tame of each dire wolf counts. Re-taming one you've owned before doesn't.
Loot
It carries no loot.
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 1 raw ribs
- 7 spined hides
Location
- The Deceit brazier: double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.
Tips
- It attacks you on sight, so be ready to fight or run while you tame it.
- At 100.0 skill each attempt has about a 34% chance.
- Wolves, dogs and hell hounds share a pack group, so a team of them earns the pack instinct bonus.
- Taming 100 of them earns the Tame 100 Dire Wolfs achievement (that's how the game spells it).
- Carve the corpse for spined hides.
