Quick question for you tamers out there. Do you feel that real skill in animal taming means more success than using jewelry for that legendary level? I'd like to read what others experience on this subject. Thank you, in advance, for any input.

Animal Taming - Real skill vs. jewelry

From my experiences I really havn't seen a difference. Thats with 90 real and 30 on jewels versus 120.
I like 120 real skill because if I have to trade out equipment that involves loosing the +skill jewelry (luck suit stuff, like the Bleue set of jewelry), I don't need to worry about controlling my pets.
Ok.....thank you again. I'm trying to revamp my tamer's suit and jewelry. So much of SheStartedIt's skill is because of jewelry and I didn't know if I should switch that out and just raise the skill higher.
My second tamer got 75/75/90 and with Birds of Britannia & Travesty gets to 3x120 and I don't notice any difference to my 3x Legendary Tamer. But I haven't played him since masteries came out. So it definitely will make a difference in that regard.

I have 110 ish real taming and jewel the rest of the way to 120 on a toon. I have noticed taming higher level creatures does take several more attempts. I tamed a cu the other night and took 7-8 attempts. My 120 on Chessy can tame 1-3 tries. Honestly it is the only thing save the masteries that I have noticed any difference.
Her post did not seem to fit definition of anecdote. Just using her experience, which besides developer input is only way we would know .
Don't mind him, someone peed in his cheerios.It's only my experience. Obiouvsly you can use all jewels that you want if you see that you experience is different from mine
Just out of curiosity, do you ever make any allowances for the fact that not everyone here has English as their first language? Some might even speak something like, oh I don't know, Italian for example?
Wouldn't personal experience be considered factual... unless you feel she/he is lying which I don't believe to be the case. Which by the way since you simply stated they are equal without any evidence or personal experience I'd say she/he added more to this conversation than you did. Stop being a pius jerk for once.
I'm very disappointed. Thank, Petra. I've cancelled all my posts. Mervin, you is a very bad man
Yes he is.
But I Agree with him.
I have a 120 tamer and a 90s tamer with jewels.
I take the 120 tamer to fight things that need to die.
No idea if it was randomness, since many things in UO are, but definitely feel our 120 real skill tamer has many more successful tames than our 110 +10 tamer. And the latter also seems to get more refusals from her GD, hence we are working it to 120 real skill slowly. Could of course also be a more stubborn pet, they seem to have personalities heh.
Somebody posted the odds a while back. 1/20 tames to start the process. Then you have a 1/5 chance for success. I actually counted a few times and it was very accurate. Either with jewels or without.
I now beat the target to low HP and drain its mana. Then I heal up and stand next to it while it attacks and use a macro (click click click) that attempts tame over and over, then walk away and invis when I see blue words. Then repeat 4 more times and Ill have a new pet.

For your information i am a woman, i am italian and i am 62 years old. Not a stupid troll. I don't know english so well to understand all things people write. And my posts were all about my experiences about taming. That's all.
I've actually tested this quite a bit on high end pets (CU's, Fire Steeds,ect)using both tamers(natural skill and jewled), now if i see a nice pet worth taming while on my jeweled tamer, i will log out and log back in on my real skill tamer and tame.
From what I'm reading, it sounds like I definitely need to get rid of some jewels and raise that skill. Thank you all for your input. *deep curtsey*
