I can make quite a bit of stuff in real life, sort of the same way some of us mow yards or learn to swim. I also have 8 kitties. : P : P Controlling them all can definitely be considered animal taming at times. Either way, crafting in "UO" worked before they destroyed it with legendary items. Reforging was amazing when it first came out. Crafting.... "in UO" is dead now.Hate to break it to you, but you are only a Blacksmith in your imagination when you play UO.
I can only tame wild beasts in my imagination.
