- Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about 94% 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 53.1 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 58.0 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 53.1 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
Grey 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 grey wolf, and they need at least 53.1 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
Tips
- Taming starts at 53.1 and is about 94% per attempt at 100.0 skill.
- Wolves, dogs and hell hounds share a pack group; tame several for the pack instinct bonus.
- Carve the corpse for 6 hides.
