I've been reading and have picked up a few tricks and techniques from reading this forum, but am hoping for some confirmation that I'm understanding correctly.
1. "-Gains are based on Real skill.
-Success is based on Displayed skill" - Quoted from FAQ at the top of this thread. So this means: ie. I have 85 Taming, I put on a +15 taming jewelry. Tame animals that I would still be taming at 85, I will succeed almost all the time, but will I gain from animals on par with 85 Taming? or do I have to tame animals on par with 100 Taming?
2. When trying to tame aggressive monsters, Invis taming and\or honor taming is the easiest way (other than just sitting there and taking the pain while GHealing). I also don't have peacemaking so that's out of the question.
a. Invis taming - Precasting invis, running up to it, target self, start taming, when invis wears off, repeat. Is this right? (as a newbie I'm scared to die and too poor for insurance)
b. Honor taming - Raise honor. Precasting invis, running up to it, invis, check lore, get off horse (why is this necessary?), activate honor, target self, start taming, when honor wears off, repeat.
c. Lead taming - I understand that, but it doesn't work well with casting monsters. Tame, run away, heal self, repeat?
as you can tell, I haven't tamed many aggro monsters, plus I'm still a very weak tamer with only 90 magery, so beating them down to slow them, then taming is hard for me.
3. Should I just be looking for jewelry that adds to Taming, or are there uniques or artifacts that I should buy?
4. I think I'm going to go mage tamer over archer tamer, as with archer tamer, I won't be able to fit chivalry and bushido, making dmg lower than if I had them. If I'm not mistaken, the mage is more versatile.

Gah Tamers are so hard! Mages and warriors are so much easier!
