Now for the Tamer / Peacemaking
IF you can put a high percentage LRC suit together then forget magery as a starting skill. Just buy it up to 33 or so and (assuming your 100% LRC) just cast spells.
This is what I did on my tamer for the second account, I have him set up as a Stealthy/Honor Tamer. So what you will see instead of stealth is Peacemaking (the tamer on the other account).
Initial Skills (assuming you do NOT buy an advanced character token)
Taming (50)
Veterinary (50)
anything for the 3rd
make dex as low as you can
Maintain the ratio of 5:4 for STR:INT (I think str(115), int(95), dex(15))
Get a rune book and fill it with recall scrolls. Mark the Jeholm Bull Pin and Mark your Home spot.
Turn all skills down except taming.
Get Taming Jewelry high enough to tame Bulls OR go to Ice/Dagger Island and do not use Jewelry and do Polar Bears.
When you can do Bulls do them at the bull pen.
It helps a lot if you have the means to kill the tames. I used Forest Ostards (Trivial to you 50 taming and does not require lore) then Frenzied Ostards, then Bake Kitsunes etc.
Try to keep your Total Skill points as low as you can while still being able to Tame Bulls. This invokes the GGS more frequently.
Try to get jewelry with the highest Tameing you can get, I have +29 and +27 for my tamers. Don't be shy in terms of lower values so you can switch them in and maintain the ability to tame bulls (80.0 to 85.0 worked well for me as a range).
Now once your taming is real 85+ and assuming you acquired +25 or higher Taming Jewelry, your good to have Cu's, Hiryu's, Dread War Horse, Nightmares (Note these are all ridable's and GOOD Killers).
Now you may want to turn up Lore. Just lore your pet repeatedly untill it caps. It wont take all that long. You should burn at the very least a 105 Lore PS, 110 is a better level as itr grants and additional stable spot.
Once your Taming and Lore are 107+ you can have and control anything in the game to date. Trust me, Taming will be a NIGHTMARE to raise.
Now you can take one of two paths.
One you can focus on Veterinary or you can focus on Magery.
If (well when) you do Veterinary get tons of bandages and get yourself a pet that gets hurt. Some scenarios that work really well here is to grab a Shadow Ore Elemental and train up a Mare, War Horse, Hiryu, Cu, Greater Dragon. They can NOT kill the SoE and will get damaged. Your Vet is at 50, doing the SoE you will be mid to high 80's before you know it and you can choose to just raise it through normal play or continue on.
Now Magery. Get that 100% LRC and just cast spells, let meditation and focus rise (aka turn up magery, meditation and focus).
When that is done, now go buy a load of Bard Instruments at the tinkers. Set Music up and just play the instrument, don't even bother buying it up. Get it to GM and it wont take long at all.
Now Buy up Peacemaking and peace one of your pets until it is GM, again it wont take long.
You now have a fundamentally functional Tamer. If you burn a 115 or 120 Taming PS then take a Killer Rider and go do the Ridgebacks in Ilshenar. When you get bored and trust me you will, don't push it just go have some fun. You will be getting to the 1 GGS per 24 hours and that will be just about the size of things. That is NOT literaly true as the Ridgebacks would give me 5 to 8 skill ups before I got bored and went and had fun.
Now then for some not so obvious.
The Slayer rules work the same way for Barding. You get a Barding Instrument with a correct Slayer vs what your barding and you gain +15% chance to bard.
Exceptional Barding Instruments, give you a +10% chance to bard. Hint: get exceptional instruments
You can try to Peace a Greater Dragon but good luck with that, even if you do, 99% of the time it wears off with the first "You anger ..." and you tend to be toasted.
I went and killed White Wyrms and raise Fame, Karma and Honor. Doing this and it is about 4 hours to level 3 Honor and that will Tame you a Greater Dragon ...
Everything else, the Exceptional Instrument and 120 Peacemaking will pretty much just freeze the mob your trying to tame, except the Cu's and Hiryus, but normally they are far easier to deal with peaced than not. Anything lower and you can mostly just stand your ground and they want to kill you but cant get out of Peace Mode to do it. This can be a problem after you tame them as they will remain peaced and will want to follow you but cant get out of peace mode. That is until Peace wears off.
If your pet is not doing so well, then peace its opponent. This tends to be better than veting as the MoB stands there sand dies while your pet kills it.
I use My Peace Tamer to control the Battle for my Pet, except for some High end mobs this works wonders and of course you always have the get out jail free card (aka area peace).
IF your a veting Tamer, then Lore will take care of itself as it will get a skill up check when you vet your pet.
