I completely love how we have so many different methods of achieving the exact same goal. I mean, c'mon, just how cool is that?!
Vix's Rune Beetle Taming Recipe
Ingredients:- One tamer/mage with high taming & lore, a high resist suit, high magic resist skill, and goodly supply of petals & apples.
1) Hit Yamandon Point, check out the two beetle bugs there, clear an area suitable for taming, brace self for a bumpy ride.
2) Having lored the two rune beetles, I lure the better one to my already cleared taming area.
3) Once the chosen beetle is positioned nice & snug in my pre-cleared taming space, I then commence knocking seven shades of snot outta the thing via magery.
4) Lead tame as usual, casting invis when necessary to break aggro, and relying on petals to cure all but highest level poisoning.
5) Open gate and show freshly tamed rune beetle his new abode.
If both beetles are poo (often happens), I tame one and use it to kill off the other for fresh respawns, rinse and repeat as above.
My advice? Whatever method you eventually choose, taming white wyrms is excellent practice for learning to tame rune beetles, and without the nasty armour corrupt and high level poisoning, too.
Good luck & good hunting!
