• Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about 82% 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 59.1 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 64.0 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 59.1 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.

Bonding

Only the owner can bond with a great hart, and they need at least 59.1 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.

Loot

It carries no loot.

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

• 6 raw ribs
• 15 hides, doubled to 30 in Felucca

Tips

• At 100.0 skill each attempt has about an 82% chance.
• Carve the corpse for 6 raw ribs and 15 hides (30 in Felucca), a good haul of hides.
