Hello,
I've played UO on and off now for pretty much ever. Mostly off, and only have been back this time for a little over a year.
During that time, especially when I was younger.... I always HATED tamers. The thought of having some insanely powerful pet that could do so many different things seemed like the cheap way out. It still does, it still seems so much easier than doing things like barding or maging (what I normally play as).
But... I have been primarily doing TMaps on my most recent return, and have done SOOOO many maps, and have saved a pretty large amount of Hoard and Trove maps. My main mapper is a mage, however, I made another character on my second account to supplement my mage so that way the spawn on the Hoard/Trove maps was a bit more manageable.
Right now, I have a mystic... Which the Rising Colossus serves pretty well when paired with my 2 Energy vortexes. It works pretty well.... But it is very time intensive and requires a ton of switching back and forth between the two clients.
So I started working taming... I looked at all the different pets, and I decided to go with something that was able to be mounted. This allows for better movement, which is important especially when doing maps in Ilsh. The primary purpose of this pet though is to be able to tank effectively while I blast the spawn down on my mage. Because of this, I landed on trying to tame a Cu Sidhe.
My tamer's skill is right around 110 for both lore and taming. Soon I will be venturing forth to try and tame one.... The problem is.... I have no idea where they are, what to do, what training even is, abilities, stats.... Nothing. I've never looked at anything taming wise due to my, for lack of a better word, disdain for it.
But now I am looking for suggestions. I am not looking to min/max... at least not yet, since I am just learning I am positive I won't build it correctly. But I don't even know where to tame them. I see them everywhere, in malas, in Ilsh... but all the guides say I need to tame it from some other area.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, eventually I will figure it all out. But right now, it just feels pretty overwhelming... So I am seeking a bit of guidance. I've read through most of the guides but they don't really make sense to me, but that's also probably because I have never had one before.
Thanks!
