I just hit 120.0 Animal Taming on Siege! It took a little over 14 days. I started at 50.0 Taming, 0.0 Animal Lore, 30.0 Magery, 20.0 Veterinary, and 20.0 Alchemy (I did not pick Alchemy. For some reason, the game applied points to this for some odd reason). Went from 50.0 to 70.0 Taming in roughly one day. I'm on my vacation, so I was able to dedicate 6 hours per day to training. The following are my current skills:
120.0 Animal Taming
118.3 Animal Lore
77.4 Discordance
30.0 Magery
95.9 Meditation
106.4 Musicianship
85.2 Peacemaking
20.0 Veterinary
I didn't start training the Bard skills until later because I didn't know there was NOT a penalty to skill gain for having high total skill points, like on production shards. I decided to train Meditation to help with training Magery later. I started my first tamer on Great Lakes when 8x8 was still how some skills were trained, around 2002 or 2003. I got to 120 Animal Taming over the course of 4 years, training for endless hours. This has been a more sanity-saving experience compared to how I did it prior.
I was able to eat 0.3 in Taming SoTs & used two Taming Alacrities. But, most of the gains came from good old fashioned skill-grinding.
