Help with bonding a greater dragon and other

[russelburgraymond]

Ok. I have 3 animals I am trying to bond.

* A Greater Dragon
* A Rune Beetle
* A Nightmare

I have had all three of these animals now for 10 days. I have taken them out of stables and put hem back in several times during this time showing friends. The won't bond. I was under that impression that you only had to keep it alive and "Wonderfully Happy" for 7 days for it to bond. All these animals were given to me by other players. Is there something else I can do to make them bond? I am goign to try leaving them there and NOT taking them out for 8-9 days to make sure that that isn't it but I am skeptical as my firebeetle bonded to my blacksmith just fine..

My bro has almost he exact same skill levels and his bonded no problem. I have 105.6 lore without jewely and 86 taming without jewelry and 115 taming with jewelry. I seriously do not have time to spend taming animals as at the moment I am only able to get on a few minutes a day now.

I gave them a command, fed them, gave another command, then stabled them.

Any help resolving this would be much appreciated.

Did U feed them before putting them in the stables the first time?

To bond a pet you need to feed, wait 7 days then feed again and it should bond.

Yeah, check the above info. Feed, stall, claim, feed.
Also make sure you have the exact jewelry set on when you store them and when you claim them.

If your skills are highly different at those times they will reset the bonding timer.

This part is not true. You just need to have at least the min skill to tame in order to let the pet bond when you feed it each time. How much the skill changed between times does not matter.

ahh ok when it happened to me I must have put on jewelry that dropped me below the min- good idea to make sure you put the right jewelry on - to have min required then

I have also found that after the 7 days when you remove the pet from the stable and you feed it, you also have to give it a command to get it to bond.
