- Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt rises by about 2% per skill point and reaches 100% at 61.0 skill. 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, its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so it always obeys its owner.
- 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 pack horse. Its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so there's no Animal Taming requirement to bond. 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.
Carrying items
A tamed pack horse carries a strong backpack that holds up to 1,600 stones of weight.
- Drop items onto it to put them in its pack, or double-click it (or use its context menu) to open the pack.
- Only its owner, people on its friends list and staff can open the pack, put items in it or take them out. Anyone else trying to look inside counts as snooping.
- When an unbonded pack horse dies, everything in its pack goes to its corpse, gathered into one backpack.
- You can't open the pack of a dead (bonded) pet.
Loot
It carries no loot.
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 3 raw ribs
- 10 hides
Tips
- Taming starts at 11.1 and always succeeds from 61.0.
- Use it to haul ore, logs or loot: its pack holds up to 1,600 stones.
- Add trusted friends to its friends list if they need to reach the pack.
- It always obeys its owner.
