Well, since enticement is no longer, what we have left is herding.....
The bottom line is, a skill that anyone can use, even when poor, to move annoying MOBs out of a place where they are not wanted....
Wealthy players in uber suits just get MOBs to follow them without caring much about being hit or cast on since their uber suits protect them for the most part. Poor players are not as lucky and, as I said, herding if expanded beyond tameables could be that helping hand to poor players to do what uber fitted and wealthy players can do with hardly any risk, thanking to their outfits and mods.
For crying out loud, Popps. Would you please go try some stuff on Test Center before you come on here full of just flat out WRONG information.
I have peace tamers on a number of shards that I started out with 1000 gold and skills of 50 taming and 50 magery. Didn't buy gold. Didn't buy a soulstone. Worked them up from that base to where they are today. A couple of them have just barely passed GM musicianship and peacemaking and have used 115 power scrolls in taming, lore, vet, musicianship and a +10 or maybe a +15 stat scroll, all purchased with gold they made from killing stuff with first a pair of unicorns, then a pair of nightmares, and then finally a greater dragon tamed using honor skill worked up on all manner of spawn that could be killed by a pair of unicorns or nightmares. Their LRC suits are pure junk purchased from any vendor I could find selling LRC and if they're lucky one or two resists might be in the low 60s. The rest of the resists are in the 40s and 50s. They might have one of the invasion spellbooks or they have a modded spellbook bought for cheap from a player vendor. Maybe they have a boomstick and maybe they don't....depends on what I could scrounge up in the LRC department.
Guess what? These characters with their piddly less than 110 music and 110 peacemaking skills do JUST FINE pulling something out of a big crowd in Destard, and not even using a super slayer musical instrument. They're usually using some 22 gp tambourine purchased from an NPC carpenter.
What they do is run around in Destard when it isn't occupied by other people killing stuff and area peace when they come to a GD. Inviz. Area peace and inviz again if revealed. While invizzed, lore the GD. If it's not worth taming, put it's bar over to the top left side of the screen and move on to lore the next one. If one of the GDs is worth taming, then it's time to drag it to a quiet area of the dungeon.
Area peace. Go into war mode. Tap on the GD's life bar to annoy it and make it start following. Start moving in the direction of the quiet spot. Area peace again if a crowd is encountered or the GD's spells are starting to hit a little too hard. Tap it's bar and keep moving. Rinse and repeat until the quiet area is reached.
While the GD is area peaced, it doesn't hit quite as hard as normal. Still have to be ready to cure and heal, but I've done it countless times with only a mishap or two. It just takes using your brain a bit to do a couple of things:
(1) Make sure your suit isn't truly pathetic. Resists in the 40s and 50s works well enough and probably won't cost more than a couple hundred thousand gold to put together.
(2) Make sure your musical instrument has sufficient charges on it (200+) to get the job done.
(3) Make sure magery skill is adequate to pull off inviz spell reliably (i.e., AT LEAST in the mid-80s, anything lower is a bit iffy); music and peace skills are adequate (104+); and taming and lore skills are adequate (110+).
(4) Know your macros like the back of your hand.
(5) Figure out the route you're going to take ahead of time and, obviously, don't pick a route that's full of obnoxious spawn that you'll never get through.
(6) Make sure your quiet spot is EMPTY before you start heading in that direction or that your character is capable of killing the spawn in it while towing a mildly tranquilized GD.
The screen shot below is my peace tamer on Europa. Yeah, the lag's a killer since I live in the western U.S. But she's got pets she tamed herself, including a greater dragon. It isn't the most awesome specimen out there, but SHE tamed it, not someone else. You can also see from the screen shot her suit's pretty pathetic and her skills are pretty low too. She's got about 300k gold in the bank. On that shard I have a whopping 1.6 million gold stored on all my characters (a macer, a swordswoman, a stealth mage with lockpicking, a new bard/miner/LJ/fisher, an old LJ/carpenter/tinker I started years ago before I decided to do mining and LJ on the same character, and an old blacksmith/tailor/miner in the same boat, a scribe, and the peace tamer). So no, it does NOT take having characters with uber skills and leet gear and an 11 year-old account to learn how to safely pull spawn, kill it, and loot. It just takes a brain, common sense, and some patience.
The second screen shot is my LS tamer. She's still in the works as well but has three GDs in the stable that she tamed herself with her low-level skills and crummy suit.
The third screen shot is my Yamato tamer. Also still very much in the works but she has four GDs in the stable that she tamed herself with her low-level skills and crummy suit. And like on Europa, lag makes playing extra-thrilling.
The fourth screen shot is one of my tamers on Oceania. She's been around a bit longer but her skills are still not maxed out yet either. She's tamed a number of GDs for herself and another tamer I have on the shard. Notice her suit isn't all that fantastic either and lag on Oceania makes hunting a very hair-raising experience.
