Editing Rare Pets & Taming Guide (section)

==General Taming Tactic==

The competition high and the opportunity rare, be sure to place each of your skills and apothecary remedies on your [[shortcut bar]] for quick response as the beast will likely be tamed within a matter of seconds once it spawns.  Locate your character nearby but not directly on top of the spawn point.  Depending on your comfortableness with fast clicking you can either be zoomed in on the spawn location or zoomed out.  As the beast does not always appear directly on one particular spot and will run fast and far the minute it has spawned it is generally believed best to have a wide area view.  Once you have clicked on the beast you may either choose to let the other venomancer's attack it with their pets, fists, or magic and watch for an appropriate health level before starting your sequence of taming or you can attack the beast yourself.  If you attack it yourself note that these rare pets are often stronger than the average mob of their level, but do have their limits.  A general rule is to use a pet that is within 15 levels higher of the rare pet you are taming.  If this is unavailable use a skill of the appropriate level or fox form in order to keep up with the pet and damage it enough to tame easily.  As with other tamable pets, the lower the health bar, the better chances of taming it you will have.  However, with competition, the other venomancer's will likely start their taming skill before the beast has even taken 30% damage so watch their characters for the blue glow of their Tame Beast skill being activated as well.  This is when it is important to have some implement in place to increase your channeling speed.  Before casting your Tame Beast skill activate one of the channeling speed remedies and/or the Relentless Courage genie skill.  Remember that the cool down of the Tame Beast skill is long so it is rare to get a second chance.  Best of luck on your "Success"!<br><br>
