## How to tame

In order to tame an animal you must first become a tamer as a profession. Once you have done this you will now be able to use the tools/skills required to tame and use pets. You will need a taming staff in order to tame and interact with the animals located throughout the map. As a beginner you will only be able to tame goats (lvl1) until you increase your level in this skill. Look around the map in order to find some goats either stray, which are randomly spawned throughout the map or in a herd. The commonly trained at herd is located in the reverse "C" shaped forest and clearing Northwest of Haven. Equip the taming staff by clicking on it in your inventory and you will now see your player wielding the staff. Stand next to a goat and use the action button (It will be labeled "Tame"). While attempting to tame the goat you will either receive a message stating "You failed." or "You have successfully tamed the goat." It may take several attempts but eventually you will successfully tame the goat. Be sure to feed your new pet using apples to raise domesticity in order to prevent them from going wild.

Once you have successfully tamed the animal you will now be able to interact with it.

## Interacting with a Pet

Once you have successfully tamed an animal it will follow you around as your pet. After taming you are able use your taming staff to interact with all of the possible pets. Stand on one of the four tiles directly surrounding it and use the action button just as you did in order to tame it initially. Doing so will show a menu window where you are able to rename, feed a snack, make stay in place which once selected becomes follow, make move, as well as release back into the wild.

Feeding a pet requires two things, one is the correct type of food in ones inventory and the second is merely selecting the "Give snack" option in the interaction menu. The food required to feed a pet varies by species. Goats snack on apples, as do horses. You will need to feed the pet every so often in order to prevent if from losing its domesticity level and returning to the wild. When you first tame a pet this will be at 5/100. As soon as this number drops to 0 the pet will become wild and upon attempting to re-tame the animal the game will give a message stating that the animal has lost trust in humans and returned to the wild.

The other interactions Stay, Move and Release allow you to command the pet. "Stay" will make the pet stay where it is upon selecting it. To make a pet follow once again select "follow," and your pet will again be following you . "Move". It will then start to follow you again. Release allows you to un-tame the pet and release it back into the wild.

## Stabling a pet

Once you tame a pet you will have to stable if you wish to keep it once you log out. You can either stable the pet in your own stable or use a town stable which you are required to pay for. Please refer to the stable page for more information on this.

When your pet is in the stable you are able to view its level, health, and feed the pet as well. You are not required to feed the pet. It wont become wild again whilst it's stabled if you choose not to do so, although feeding pets in stables will passively level them for 24 hours.

## Training a pet

Training a pet outside the stable is a quick method to increase the pets Health and Domesticity levels. There is no maximum levels you can reach. To train a pet you simply use the pet for fighting against other animals or mobs around the map. The level of the pet will increase as you to fight or run around the map depending on type of pet, you will get notifications as the pet levels up. After a while the pet will become tired and will not level up any more, again you will get a notification stating this.

## Using pet commands

Pets commands are now controlled using birds. Please see the birds page for further information on this.
