- Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about 70% 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 65.1 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 70.0 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 65.1 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. The taming code lets a tamer whose summoned familiar is a dark wolf always tame dire, grey, timber and white wolves. Whether players can summon a dark wolf familiar on New Bradford hasn't been checked.
Pack instinct
White 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 white wolf, and they need at least 65.1 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:
- 1 raw ribs
- 6 hides, doubled to 12 in Felucca
Tips
- Its stats and skills are the same as a grey wolf's; only the taming requirement (65.1 vs 53.1) and look differ.
- At 100.0 skill each attempt has about a 70% chance.
- Wolves, dogs and hell hounds share a pack group; tame several for the pack instinct bonus.
