Power Hour? Taming skill/skilling tips?

Hail!
I'm trying to find out if power hour is active on the official servers? Where you get accelerated skill gain chance when you first log in with each character for an hour? Also looking for any tips and or tricks with skilling taming!

Spend the money and get a mythic token you get to set 5 skills to 90 i haven't actually trained taming in years

Once you get Taming to 90 you can use the new Mastery system to train taming. Just get as much mana regen gear as you can. I'd recommend the token like McDougal did as well, but it's whatever you want to spend your time on.

if you want to do it the hard long way, log in once a day for a .1 gain. you can buy the token on atl(4 month ago, they were 185 mil), or spend the real cash for one. even once a day gains with alacrity scrolls is slow going. because of the delay in taming, it can take weeks to get to 90 skill taming 2-4 hours a day

Power Hour for characters does not exist anymore on official UO servers, not for a long time (last time i remember it was during Renaissance, maybe Third Dawn). A version of Power Hour does exist for pets though, where they receive accelerated progress towards slot leveling if you're a Tamer leveling pets.

@inaliFTW - There is no longer Power Hour but there is GGS (Guaranteed Gain System) where you will be guaranteed a gain every X hours based on total skill points. As Draza said, it can be slow but I did this on my second tamer where I would just log in once a day and get my GGS gain and log out. You can further game this system (which I did) by using an alacrity scroll (these scrolls only last 15min of game play) because when you log out you conserve the alacrity scroll time but will get the multiplier every day. I used 1 alacrity scroll for taming (they can be expensive) which lasted me about a month of logging in for 30seconds to get my gain and logging out.

Thanks for the info folks! Looks like I'll be doing a tad bit of taming grinding. Or, farming peerless bosses and things like Navery. Does anyone have a list of good farm spots for items that sell for a lot of gold besides these? Then I guess I can get the 220 million token if still needed.

Doom Gauntlet.
Fel champ spawns for powerscrolls and replica's. Tram spawn's for replica's.
Shadowguard, need Time of Legends expansion.
Scalis, needs High Seas booster to summon and to use the drops, but can fight it without HS if someone else pulls it up.
Corgul, needs High Seas booster to get to the island.
Pirates and beacons for maritime cargo, needs High Seas booster I think.
Cora in dungeon Covetous. Long respawn timer though, 1 hour?
Blackthorns dungeon for Minax drops.
Treasure maps for alacrity, transcendence and power scrolls.

When a major event hits that is easy like the spring one... just gather the things other players don't want to spend time on and sell those. For example, in the previous event I was selling eggs that took me about an hour to gather for 10 mil.
