7 days to bond a pet: how about some change?

[dupapa]

my cu went wild on a sever save on saturday, luckily a very friendly guildie got her back thank LORA :*

as im a returning vet that mostly have forgotten alot, i have a question

so as we are all talking about the timer,

if i feed her before i stable, can i use her during the 7 day timer then feed her again on the 7th day? or do i have to keep her in the stables locked away for 7 days?

BTW RE thread, im happy with the timer

Yes. You can feed her and use her during the 7 days, then feed her on the seventh day. You do not have to lock her away for the 7 days but ..
if she does happen to die, there is no resurrecting her. Only when Pets are bonded can you Ressurect a dead pet.

There is always a lot to learn even if you are a vet like me that never leaves UO. I can't keep up with all the changes made to skills.

Eeeh! In my day...
*waves a gnarled walking stick menacingly* Be glad pets can be trained, and that we can bond with them. It sucked to have to stop whatever we were doing to go tame another pet before being able to resume whatever it was we were doing before our pet got perma-killed. Even being able to reliably stable our pets is something I still appreciate lol.

In my days i used to hunt certain tamers in Terra Keep who were trying to tame nightmares ... :loser:

While i have no problems with the 7 days timer (the older you get the faster the days seem to pass) I won't say nay to changes. I do not like the idea of involving crafting to that as it would make the whole timer pointless. Make it some quests similar to the moonglow zoo donations. Tame x-amount of y-critter, donate it to the zoo and you will get a shorter timer. The tougher the critter the shorter the timer.

Jade.. many thanks for the reply

i know exactly what you mean RE keeping up with the changes, ive constantly left an returned since 2003, an boy.. every time i come back it a big learning curve...

gets me thinking, if i didn't keep stop playing and invested all that learning into playing i might actually be good!! well...

good news about the pet,

oh i wont be taking her anywhere too dangerous, she is to precious

6 days an counting then,

Truth! I think you were still wearing diapers when you were pking my poor tamers lol. I bought my first nightmare from you and then spent days afterwards terrified it was going to go wild and eat me!

Agreed, seven days in the scheme of things is a drop in the ocean.

As others have said already, questing gets old, fast. Zoo donations already have a bonus in the form of the museum donation items.

I wouldn't mind a real skill bonus of a time reduction, with 120 Tame/Lore/Vet giving, say, a five-day bond timer or maybe even a three-day timer. *shrug* To some, it would be an incentive to train the skills.
