how many pets can u controll?

[Lord Arm]

the amount of pet this person is controlling is impresive lol. they are all follow this tamer

it is not herding they all follow at once not herding on at a time, never seen before lol

 

[AntyvasII]

Does it depend on herding skill level?

 

[Luc of Legends]

Actually yes depending on your herding skill level you can move large amounts of critters.

I have a screen shot somewhere of when sis and I did a cattle drive through Britain.

I had a herder who's skill was about 85 - 90 then. I stupidly either turned it down or accidently flushed it on a soulstone.

 

[Laura_Gold]

Either that's herding, or it's an old old picture from when people could have an (apparently) unlimited number of pets.

You could probably buy it from 50 up to 100 with SoTs for like 1 mill.

 

[Lord Arm]

this guy walk by and they all followed each other or him then he went got got more than the picture show 20 more walrus and 20 wolves all following together

 

[Draza]

you can friend people to pets, and they will follow the " follow " command, won't attack or guard tho. more useful for beetles and packies, lets a friend use their pack

Herding can be fun, but there are restrictions. You can only herd creatures that can be tamed, you can't herd them through moongates and you can't give them commands other than 'move to [targeted location]' or 'follow [targeted character]'
I have herded Reptalon away from Miasma's area - though you can't move Rend! I have herded Fire Crimson/Platinum drakes away from the Balrons at Chaos in Ilsh and Ossein Rams into the corridors in Deceit further from the Lich lords. The last two to make it easier for taming them. In the past I have herded Unicorns left over from Oaks in T2A to Delucia, giving red champ scouts a bit of a surprise, but never more than 3 and you can't do that anymore, the champ area clears once the champ dies now, and there is less 'scouting' champs done anyway.
My most fun 'herding' adventure was this one: Herding Essay - Old Stratics

Almost forgot, dryad alluring an ettin, naming him 'farmer' and then stealth herding a bunch of cows through Brit with him

They will also not gain pack bonuses. Thou I tried 3 Stygian Drakes on one toon (friended with 2 more account same Stygians). I was trying to understand what was their pack instincts use at all. Failed to find developers wisdom in that case.

Stealth herding was awesome during the Destard swing of events.

Herding 5 or 6 greater dragons from the bowl up to to the champ alter area during level 4 of the spawn has surprised more than a few sampires...

Heh, I remember those days, taking 5 white wyrms or dragons down to Terra keep and trying to kill the Balron.
I also remember people having 10+ nightmares out at Brit Bank to sell.
Simpler times!
