The '''Exodus Summoning Rite''' is one of the four keys needed for the ''Summoning'' ritual of [[The Exodus Encounter]]. It can be obtained by slaying the minions of [[Exodus]] or [[Dupre]]'s men inside the [[Exodus Dungeon]], or from the [[File:Exodus supply cache.png|link=]] locked and trapped containers hidden inside the same dungeon that can be revealed using the [[Detect Hidden]] skill. It can also be crafted by:

Gareth the Emissary of the RBC

2017-05-22T03:53:49Z

OxAO: This should be in bold lettering

{{tocright}}
Gareth used to be located in the Council of Mages building in [[Magincia]]. But during the [[Magincia Invasion]] he fled on the ferry to [[Trinsic]]. He now resides in the Sons of the Sea fisherman building near the southeast docks. Coordinates 106o 57'S 49o 17'E (2841.2024).

* '''Note:''' You cannot continue this quest chain after "The Questions" until and unless you have first completed the [[Verity Librarian]] Quest.

== Know Thy Humility ==
<blockquote>''Greetings my friend! My name is Gareth, and I represent a group of citizens who wish to rejuvenate interest in our kingdom's noble heritage. 'Tis our belief that one of Britannia's greatest triumpgs was the institution of the Virtues, neglected though they be now. To that end I have a set of tasks prepared for one who would follow a truly Humble path. Art though interested in joining our efforts?''</blockquote>

== The Questions ==

First Gareth will ask you a number of questions. He asks them in random order. If you pick a wrong answer you have to wait one day before you can try again.

* Q: Which city embodies the need for Humility? A: Magincia
* Q: How doth one find Humility? A: Through the absence of Virtue.
* Q: Finish this truism: "Humility shows us..." A: ..the value of all individuals.
* Q: By name, which den of evil challenges one's humility? A: Hythloth
* Q: What is the color of Humility? A: Black
* Q: What opposes Humility? A: Pride
* Q: What is the symbol of humility? A: The shepherds crook

<blockquote>''Very good! I can see that ye hath more than just a passing interest in our work. There are many trials before thee, but I have every hope that ye shall have the diligence and fortitude to carry on to the very end. Before we begin, please prepare thyself by thinking about the virtue of Humility. Ponder not only its symbols, but also its meanings. Once ye believe that thou art ready, speak with me again.''</blockquote>

== The Donations ==

When you have answered the questions correctly, Gareth will have 3 Community Service missions for you to donate items to the [[Cooperative Collections]]. You must click on Gareth again to receive the next quest and you will need to return to him to finish each quest before you can receive the next quest from him. If you are planning to donate gold, you may do so in check form instead of trying to transport 75,000 to the donation site.

===Museum===
<blockquote>'' 'Tis time to help out the community of Britannia. Visit the Vesper Museum and donate to their collection, and eventually though wilt be able to receive a replica of the Shepherd's Crook of Humility. Once ye have it, return to me. Art though willing to do this?''</blockquote>
* '''Obejective''': Donate 5,000 points worth of items to the [[Vesper Museum Collection]]
* '''Reward:''' Select the Shepherd's Crook of Humility from the reward list and return it to Gareth

===Zoo===
<blockquote>''Now, go on and donate to the Moonglow Zoo. Givest thou enough to receive a 'For the Life of Briannia' sash. Once ye have it, return it to me. Wilt thou continue?''</blockquote>
* '''Obejective''': Donate 5,000 points worth of items to the [[Moonglow Royal Zoo Collection]]
* '''Reward:''' Select the For the Life of Britannia sash from the reward list and return it to Gareth
<blockquote>''Wonderful! The Zoo is a very special place from which people young and olf canst benefit. Thanks to thee, it can continue to thrive.''</blockquote>

===Library===
<blockquote>''I have one more charity for thee, my diligent friend. Go forth and donate to the Britain Library and do that which is nesessary to receive a special printing of 'Virtue', by Lord British. Once in hand, bring the book back with ye. Art thou ready?''</blockquote>
* '''Remember''' You must have completed the [[Britain Library Collection]] in order to donate and receive the book.
* '''Obejective''': Donate 5,000 points worth of items to the [[Britain Library Collection]]. Any collections NPC has the book as a reward on their list so it does not matter who you donate to.
* '''Reward:''' Select the For the Special Printing of 'Virtue' by Lord British book from the reward list and return it to Gareth
<blockquote>''Very good! The library is of great import to the people of Britannia. Thou hath done a worthy deed and this is thy last required donation. I encourage thee to continue contributing to thine community, beyond the obligations of this endeavor.''</blockquote>

== The Errands ==
Finally, Gareth will require you to go find Seven people scattered throughout Britannia, both in Felucca and in Trammel.
<blockquote>''Thou art challenged to find seven citizens spread out among the towns of Britannia: Skara Brae, Minoc, Britain, and one of the towns upon an isle at sea. Each citizen wilt reveal some thought concerning Humility. But who doth best exemplify the virtue? Here, thou needeth wear this plain grey cloak, for they wilt know ye by it. Wilt thou continue?''</blockquote>

Each NPC can be found in one of the 7 cities below:

* Britain, Trammel - [[Maribel the Waitress]]
* Britain, Felucca - [[Deirdre the Beggar]]
* Minoc, Trammel - [[Kevin the Butcher]]
* Minoc, Felucca - [[Sean the Blacksmith]] Always the last NPC since he gives the quest finishing item.
* Skara Brae, Trammel - [[Jason the Healer]]
* Skara Brae, Felucca - [[Walton the Horse Trainer]]
* Haven, Trammel (island) - [[Nelson the Shepherd]]

Each NPC travels around the city they are in, so you need to search for them. They can even change locations while you are in the middle of figuring out who wants what item.

Each NPC will require an Item, which item they require and which they give you is random per player the only thing that stays the same is you will always get the chain from Sean the smithy. One of the NPCs will want the Ring you are initially given and then give you an item in return that another one of the NPCs want, and so on. '''Make sure''' to wear the grey cloak you are given, as the NPCs will talk to you when you get near to them only if you are wearing the blessed grey cloak. The NPC's names are in yellow type and you will double click on them to attempt to give them the item you have. If they do not want the item you have, a text box with information about themselves will pop up. After closing this box, they will give you a hint of what they are looking for or what they have to give you in exchange for some unknown item so it can be very helpful to jot down any hints.

When you complete this part, you will receive an Iron Chain from the last NPC (Sean the Blacksmith) and be told to give it to Gareth. Mark it as a quest item then return to Gareth.

<blockquote>''Aha! Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. What think ye of Sean? Of all those I have met, he is the least concerned with others' opinions of him. He excels at his craft, yet always believes he has something left to learn. *looks at the iron chain necklace* And it shows, does it not?''</blockquote>

== The Final Test ==
<blockquote>''Noble friend, thou hast performed tremendously! On behalf of the Rise of Britannia I wish to reward thee with this golden shield, a symbol of accomplishment and prife for the many things that though hast done for our people. Dost thou accept?''</blockquote>

When you give the iron chain to Gareth he will offer you a reward. '''If you Accept Gareth's reward, you will be given a yellow-gold hued Order Shield that is nothing more than an item for looks and you don't get the Humility cloak.''' However, If you Refuse the reward, he will then tell you to go to the Humility Shrine!

<blockquote>''*smiles* I understandeth thy feelings, friend. Ye shall remain anonymous then, to all those who shall benefit from thine efforts. Yet, through all these trials, perhaps thou hast come a little closer to understand the true nature of Humility. Thine efforts might seem small compared to the great world in which we live, but as more of our people work together, strong shall our people be. I wish for ye to keep the cloak I gave thee earlier. Thou canst do with it what thou will, but I hope that it shall serve as a reminder of the days ye spent engaged in our simple cause. And although I have nothing more for thee, I wouldest exhort ye to continue upon this path, always seeking opportunities to humble thyself to the demands of the world. There is a small island to the south upon which lies the Shrine of Humility. Seek solace there, and perhaps the answer to thine questions will become clear.''</blockquote>

Take the grey cloak he gave you to the Humility Shrine and walk inside the ring, when you do, your grey cloak will turn into a [[Virtue Armor Set]] piece ([[Cloak of Humility]])
and it is blessed and gives +1% to all resists if set is completed.
Note: Cloak is NOT blessed on Siege Perilous. If you want to keep a blessed cloak, simply do not go to humilty shrine at end of the chain and it will remain a blessed "grey cloak"

Pet training

2017-04-26T07:38:26Z

OxAO:

{{tocright}}Training your [[pet]] well is important for a number of reasons:
* Even a [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-power-calculator/ highly scored] pet that has just been tamed is relatively weak and can die a lot without training.
* Your [[Veterinary]] skill will go up while you are training your pets which in turn raises your [[Animal Lore]] skill. This effects (among other things) how much control you have over you pets and which pets you can control - That is to say, raise your Animal Lore through Vetting your pet while training and you will quickly be able to other control higher level pets!

'''Notes:'''
* You should always use jewelry for hunting and to control your pets, get a [[ring]] and [[bracelet]] that give you as high [[Animal Taming]] and [[Animal Lore]] as possible (max 15) in order to control higher level pets earlier. The Taming skill is the more important of the two.
* Fighting higher level monsters causes more damage to your pets and thus raises your Vet skill (and thus Animal Lore) faster; besides this they also provide better loot drops, money and you will develop better hunting skills. However, your targets combat skills must be relatively close to your pets - too strong (or weak) and your pet won't gain.
* You will find it very difficult to tame your first hunting pets so get a guild mate or friend to tame one for you.

See the [[Pets]] section for more detailed information on your pets and how to control them

See [[Pet Guide]] for a comparison of high level hunting pets

==Initial Selection==
[[Pets|Pet]] training begins by getting a pet ''worth'' training. If you're going to invest time in making your creatures more powerful, it stands to reason that you should first spend some time making sure the initial specimen is as powerful as possible.

There are a few aspects of your minions that you need to take heed of. First off, choose a [[Pet Guide|species that has potential]]. There's not much point in spending days, weeks or even months maxing out an [[Imp]] only to find that it's still rubbish.

Set yourself up a macro to activate the [[Animal Lore]] skill (as a [[Animal Taming|tamer]] you should already have a fair bit of this, but if not, remember that [[humans]] get an inferred minimum of 20 points in every skill). Using this on your pets will grant you a detailed window which goes through their strengths and weaknesses.

However, to lore a non-tame creature requires very high levels of skill - 100 for [[animals]], 110 for [[monsters]]. Once a creature has been tamed it will lose at least 10% from all its attributes. Some values will in fact halve. Tame a random sample first so you've some idea as to what the losses will be. Note that taming a creature under the effects of the [[Paralyze]] spell results in even greater penalties.

A good way to find out how powerful a pet is likely to be once it is fully trained is to tame it and enter the post tamed values into the [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-power-calculator/ UOCraft Pet Power Calculator].

You can also work out your chance of controlling a given species [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-control-chance-calculator/ here]. If you do not have enough skill to control a given creature, it will ignore you in battle and you will be unable to [[Pet Bonding|bond]] with it.

==Skills==
Any [[skill]] a creature has can be trained to either 90% of what it was before taming, or 100.0 points (which ever is higher). For example, a creature tamed with 144 [[Wrestling]] will have a training cap of 129.6 (144 - 14.4), while a creature tamed with 50 [[Tactics]] can only be trained to [[Grand Master|GM]] level.

Like [[#Stats|Pet Stats]], these skill levels are subject to no ''overall'' cap - Some creatures, such as the [[Rune Beetle]], can be trained to have over 800 points amongst all their skills.

===Wrestling, Tactics & Anatomy===
A [[Pets|pet's]] ability to [[Wrestling|Wrestle]] improves its chance to hit a target, while [[Tactics]] improves the amount of damage it can actually deal. To improve in these two skills your pet must fight something within about 25 points of its own skill ranges.

[[Anatomy]] on the other hand can be trained by fighting against a target of any skill level. It tends to raise at a much slower rate, however. It improves your pet's chance of dealing critical hits.

===Magery, Evaluating Intelligence & Meditation===
[[Character]]s mostly rely on their [[Magery]] skill to determine their chance to cast a [[Spells|spell]], however a magic capable pet is only limited by the amount of [[mana]] it has in reserve. A wild [[Nightmare]], for example, will quite happily open up with [[Flamestrike]]s despite only spawning with a maximum of about 50 Magery.

Nevertheless, Magery does serve to improve the effects of some spells. For example, a pet with more skill is more likely to succeed when casting [[Cure]] or [[Arch Cure]], and will be able to repair more damage with [[Heal]] or [[Greater Heal]].

[[Evaluating Intelligence]] serves to boost the effects of most combat-orientated spells, improving damage dealt along with the duration of [[buff]]s or [[buff|debuffs]]. The [[Meditation]] skill serves to improve [[mana]] regeneration, hence helping your pets to remain effective for prolonged periods of time.

It doesn't really matter what you fight for the purpose of improving these skills, as pets cast spells automatically in combat and do so whenever they find themselves with a shred of mana to spare. However a pet which has used up all it's mana will mostly cast lower level spells, hence reducing their chances of gaining Magery when they hit the higher skill levels. One solution to this is to fight creatures that spawn solo, hence allowing for some recuperation between kills.

===Resisting Spells===
A pet's ability to [[Resisting Spells|resist spells]] essentially makes it harder to inflict a [[buff|debuff]] upon it. For example, at 100 skill, you will require ''over'' 110 points in Magery to inflict a [[Curse]] on your pet - and even if you manage it, it won't last anywhere near as long or lower it's abilities by anywhere near as much as if it lacked spell resist altogether.

This skill was traditionally very hard to raise until the destruction of the original [[Old Haven|Haven]] introduced [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s. These are unique in that they only cast the types of spells which trigger spell resist checks ([[buff|debuffs]]), and of ''those'' they only cast the spells that deal no damage. In terms of physical combat they are also extremely weak.

To train in this manner, simply wander the streets of [[Old Haven]] ordering your pets to "kill" the Spellbinders you see. As soon as you can, tell them to "follow" you again and the undead spirit will follow your pet blasting it with spells.

If you cannot find any Spellbinders, simply kill all the undead spawn in the area and a fresh wave will appear in short order. If you have a particularly weak pet you'll need to keep a close eye on it's health bar, a full [[Lower Reagent Cost]] suit helps maintain a lengthy session of [[Greater Heal]] spells (but be careful to conserve your [[mana]] as much as possible).

Once you've got as many Spellbinders as possible simply sit back and let them cast away. While their spells do no damage at all, the eight closest to your pet will be able to deal melee attacks, so you might like to take advantage and practise your [[Veterinary]] skill while you wait. Depending on the amount of monsters you attracted you should be done within an hour, perhaps a little longer should you wish to cap your pet's [[#Stats|Stats]] while you're at it.

===Poisoning===
Guess [[Poisoning]] is a lot like [[Anatomy]], target any type of enemy you wish and just keep belting them.

===Healing===
The only [[Pets|pet]] with the [[Healing]] skill is the [[Cu Sidhe]]. It will not only use the skill to aid itself but its master as well, assuming you're in range.

It'll automatically use the skill whenever its health level is below a certain amount (90%?), and continue until fully repaired. However, in order to train past 90.0 points, it must cure deadly poison.

An otherwise well trained Cu is quite capable of killing single [[Rotting Corpse]]s indefinitely without intervention from its master. Be warned that because the process of getting poisoned and then curing itself is very slow, it can potentially take ''months'' to reach [[Grand Master]] level. Many [[player]]s choose not to bother, more still now that the [[Greater Dragon]] is a far more effective pet then the [[Cu Sidhe]] in terms of both giving as well as taking damage.

==Stats==
Use [[Animal Lore]] to check out your pet's [[stats]]. Your [[character]]'s stats can each be trained to a maximum of 125, and this is also true for your pets. However, unlike characters, pets have no "overall" stat cap and so [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]] and [[Intelligence]] can ''all'' potentially reach their maximums.

Pets gain stats by exercising their [[skills]], but gain them far faster if using skills that are already capped out. A good way to get stats up quickly (particulary [[Dexterity]], which can be very slow to train) is to raise [[#Resisting Spells|Resisting Spells]] first, and continue to have spells inflicted on your pet after that has reached it's maximum.

Each time a creature gains in a stat, it will also gain in a related statistic - For example, improving [[Strength]] will also improve [[Hit Points]]. Therefore you want to tame a pet with the highest hit point total possible (so as to have the best starting point to train from), and the lowest strength value possible (so as to have the greatest number of potential gains to the hit point total).

An exception to this rule is when a creature's initial strength value can start at 125 or higher. As you won't be able to improve it any further, you therefore wish to tame a creature with both the highest strength and hit point totals possible. Similar rules apply to [[Dexterity]] (which improves [[Stamina]]) and [[Intelligence]] (which improves [[Mana]]).

===Strength===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Strength]] it's maximum [[Hit Points]] will also increase by one. This also determines your pet's base damage output.

===Dexterity===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Dexterity]] it's maximum [[Stamina]] level will also increase by one. The more stamina a pet has the faster it can strike and the faster it can [[Pets#Pet Speed|travel]].

===Intelligence===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Intelligence]] it's maximum [[Mana]] level will also increase by one, which also improves it's regeneration speed.

==Resistances==
Use [[Animal Lore]] to check out your pet's [[resistances]]. Unlike your [[character]] (which starts with no resistances and gains them by donning [[armor]]), pets come with their own "base" resistances which vary between specimens.

Your character can improve his or her resists by training [[Resisting Spells]] (albeit by a very small amount) - While your pets can ''also'' train in this skill, they will ''not'' receive a resistance bonus from it. Hence they cannot improve their initial resistance levels at all - make sure the pet you choose to train starts out with the highest levels possible for that particular creature type (especially in terms of physical resistance).

==Conventional Training: What, When & Where==
This section goes through the different [[Monsters]] used for pet training, the list is compiled based on ease of training (less chance of dieing), loot available and spawn rate; using these monsters you should be able to train any pet up to its maximum skill levels. It is generally recommended to cap your pets stats by having [[#Resisting Spells|Spectral Spellbinders raise Resisting Spells]].

'''Discalimer:''' The following guide is based on training high level pets, ie from [[Bake Kitsune]]s and above, this is because when you are able to control tougher pets the need to own lower level pets (even Kitsunes at top levels) becomes pointless in terms of hunting so any training you do on low level pets ([[Polar Bear]]s for example) may be futile. 
Its fair to say that most new players will probably be given their first decent pet (like a Kitsune) by a higher level player and is most likely going to have poor resists and so when you get to the level where you can tame one yourself you will probably tame a new one with better resists and dump the first one so the first one can seem a waist of time. 
However the point of using pets initially (besides from gaining real world experience in hunting) is to raise your [[Veterinary]] skill which is the fastest way to gain in [[Animal Lore]]; Animal Lore is a very important skill for controlling and taming pets and raising it will enable you to control and tame higher level pets quicker than raising taming alone 
So the thought process goes - Get a Kitsune (or tougher pet) as early as possible because you can fight harder monsters which do more damage to the pet which allows you to use [[Veterinary]] skill on it more which give you faster gains in Animal Lore which loops back and allows you to own even tougher pets

'''[[Honor]]''' is an important virtue for tamers because you can use it to tame high level pets without fear of being eaten; the higher the monsters [[Fame]] the more Honor you gain so you can train Honor while hunting, though if you want to get to a knight of Honor quickly then it is generally accepted that the [[Succubus]] on the 2nd level of [[Fan Dancer Dojo]] is the best place to go; Knight of Honor isn't necessary most of the time though and training on [[Miasma]] while training your [[Greater Dragon]] and making some money is a very efficient way of gaining in Honor right up to the top follower levels; due to the lack of information on the exact fame ratings of monsters at higher levels I have added a rating system for each of the monsters below based on useful Honor gaining ie amount of Honor given, ease of farming Honor from the Monster and other benefits such as loot

See the [[Pets]] section for more detailed information on your pets and how to control them

===General Notes===
* [[Shadow Iron Elemental]]s have also often been used for training melee skills however due to the difficult locations needed to find a good spawn ([[Yomotsu Mines]]) i have left them out of this section.
* [[Daemon]]s in [[Hythloth]] dungeon level 2, north eastern most room are also used to Magic resist training and mid level melee training; a room where 1 spawns at a time; in theory you can hide in here and just let your pet go on a killing spree, this was left out of the above list due to the dangerousness level of the area and the fact there are easier spawns to work elsewhere .
* Train [[Nightmare]] and [[Rune Beetle]]s together to protect either from dieing.
* Setup a macro to bandaged next follower, this will enable you control the healing of two pets alternatively.

==Unconventional Training Methods==
Techniques that can be used to quickly raise your pet's abilities outside of traditional combat.

===Punching Bags===
When training very weak one-slot pets, it can be quite difficult to get gains without getting them killed. An easy way to get around this is to simply have them attack targets that won't fight back. This is very easily arranged in the [[Felucca]] facet (where pets can target yourself and your other pets).

The most obvious practise dummy is your own [[character]]. Armor yourself as you see fit, but steer clear of items that make you hard to strike - [[Shields]] or things with the [[Defense Chance Increase]] property. [[Hit Point Regeneration]] and [[Self Repair]], on the other hand, are most useful. A full suit of [[Virtue Armor]] plus a few jewels for [[HPR]] works well.

Simply travel to an out-of-the-way location and have your pet attack yourself. Toggle out of combat mode to prevent damage to your "pupil", and allow it to batter away at you.

If you have the skill to control a stronger pet, bring one along and have the trainee attack that. A [[Cu Sidhe]] is ideal, as it can heal itself. Do careful not to give any "kill", "guard" or "stop" orders to your punching bag - it'll retaliate and make short work of it's aggressor (even if you don't choose a target for the "kill" command).

This method will typically only take your pet up to about 45 Wrestling/Tactics. After this point, it will need to fight creatures with skill levels within about 20 points of it's own scores in order to gain further.

===Quickly Cap Statistics===
Pets can be trained to 125 in any and all of the three statistics - [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]] and [[Intelligence]]. Doing so increases the amount of damage they can give/take, how fast they can move/attack, and how often/long they can cast spells for.

Whenever a pet uses a skill it has a chance to gain in associated stats, however, this chance is significantly improved if the skill in concern is already at it's maximum. Therefore you'll usually only start to see good stat gains after a significant amount of regular combat training.

The way around this is lays with [[Resisting Spells]]. This skill [[#Resisting Spells|can be raised very quickly]] by attracting a large group of [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s. These will still cast when the skill itself maxes out, and the statistic gains will come very quickly if you continue to allow them to do so.

This technique is particularly useful for raising [[#Dexterity|Dexterity]], which can otherwise be very slow to cap. Note that while Spellbinders are weak they can deal a bit of damage in numbers... Weak one slot pets will require heavy healing (good for [[Veterinary]] gains), while stronger creatures (such as the [[Cu Sidhe]]) can more or less ignore their attacks indefinitely.

===Shadow Iron Elementals===
Some [[Elemental]]s are strangely immune to spells and [[pet]]s. This can make them aggravating when encountered in the wild by a tamer, but very, very useful for the purpose of training - an unkillable target with reasonable combat skills means you can train your pets into the higher skill levels with no interruptions.

[[Shadow Iron Elemental]]s are the best examples for this technique. They're roughly on par with the average freshly tamed "[[Pet Guide|high level]]" pet, without any nasty tricks (such as the [[Valorite Elemental]]'s area attack).

While they can be found in the wild, it is typically far less trouble to have one spawned for you by a [[Mining|Miner]]. If you intend to fill that role yourself, you'll need 70 points of skill (with or without item bonuses), a [[Gargoyle's Pickaxe]], and a [[Prospector's Tool]].

Find a cliff face near where you wish to train, and travel around using the Tool on the mountain. Remember an ore vein comprises of an 8x8 area, only use the Tool in each vein once. This upgrades the ore type by one. Keep going until you're informed that the vein was changed to [[Dull Copper]].

Once you get this message, grab the Pickaxe and start swinging at that spot. If you're lucky, an elemental will spawn right next to you; don't worry, although it's hostile it moves very slowly and has no ranged attacks. Lead it away to where you wish to train, set your pet(s) on it, and provide heals as required.

An average elemental will have about 60 Wrestling/Tactics. Your pets need to be within about 20 skill points of these levels in order to get gains. As the battle progresses the elemental will improve as well, so a single target can potentially take your pets all the way to GM. Although unkillable, elementals will de-spawn after a few hours - be aware that the next elemental you summon might be too weak to train them further, but if you can rig the timing to your advantage elementals can still be used to achieve GM skill levels.

This technique can be used to train multiple pets at once. Since only one of your charges will be attacked by the elemental, it becomes possible to easily train weak pets. Simply make sure your strongest is set to [[Pets#Active Pet|Active]] prior to giving the "all kill" order.

==Quick Guide To Power Training==
This mini guide provides you with a quick reference to the fastest way to train any standard pet by conventional means.
* [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s to raise spell resist to maximum. Continue allowing them to cast on your pet until it's stats are also all capped.
* Begin fighting with [[Arctic Ogre Lord]]s until melee skills are above 50.
* [[Sphynx]] to GM all skills except CU Healing.
* [[Rotting Corpse]]s to GM CU Healing (can take a while).
* [[Miasma]] to train Greater Dragon above GM.

Pet training

2017-04-26T07:37:25Z

OxAO: added Broadsword pet abilities

{{tocright}}Training your [[pet]] well is important for a number of reasons:
* Even a [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-power-calculator/ highly scored] pet that has just been tamed is relatively weak and can die a lot without training.
* Your [[Veterinary]] skill will go up while you are training your pets which in turn raises your [[Animal Lore]] skill. This effects (among other things) how much control you have over you pets and which pets you can control - That is to say, raise your Animal Lore through Vetting your pet while training and you will quickly be able to other control higher level pets!

'''Notes:'''
* You should always use jewelry for hunting and to control your pets, get a [[ring]] and [[bracelet]] that give you as high [[Animal Taming]] and [[Animal Lore]] as possible (max 15) in order to control higher level pets earlier. The Taming skill is the more important of the two.
* Fighting higher level monsters causes more damage to your pets and thus raises your Vet skill (and thus Animal Lore) faster; besides this they also provide better loot drops, money and you will develop better hunting skills. However, your targets combat skills must be relatively close to your pets - too strong (or weak) and your pet won't gain.
* You will find it very difficult to tame your first hunting pets so get a guild mate or friend to tame one for you.

See the [[Pets]] section for more detailed information on your pets and how to control them

See [[Pet Guide]] for a comparison of high level hunting pets

==Initial Selection==
[[Pets|Pet]] training begins by getting a pet ''worth'' training. If you're going to invest time in making your creatures more powerful, it stands to reason that you should first spend some time making sure the initial specimen is as powerful as possible.

There are a few aspects of your minions that you need to take heed of. First off, choose a [[Pet Guide|species that has potential]]. There's not much point in spending days, weeks or even months maxing out an [[Imp]] only to find that it's still rubbish.

Set yourself up a macro to activate the [[Animal Lore]] skill (as a [[Animal Taming|tamer]] you should already have a fair bit of this, but if not, remember that [[humans]] get an inferred minimum of 20 points in every skill). Using this on your pets will grant you a detailed window which goes through their strengths and weaknesses.

However, to lore a non-tame creature requires very high levels of skill - 100 for [[animals]], 110 for [[monsters]]. Once a creature has been tamed it will lose at least 10% from all its attributes. Some values will in fact halve. Tame a random sample first so you've some idea as to what the losses will be. Note that taming a creature under the effects of the [[Paralyze]] spell results in even greater penalties.

A good way to find out how powerful a pet is likely to be once it is fully trained is to tame it and enter the post tamed values into the [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-power-calculator/ UOCraft Pet Power Calculator].

You can also work out your chance of controlling a given species [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-control-chance-calculator/ here]. If you do not have enough skill to control a given creature, it will ignore you in battle and you will be unable to [[Pet Bonding|bond]] with it.

==Skills==
Any [[skill]] a creature has can be trained to either 90% of what it was before taming, or 100.0 points (which ever is higher). For example, a creature tamed with 144 [[Wrestling]] will have a training cap of 129.6 (144 - 14.4), while a creature tamed with 50 [[Tactics]] can only be trained to [[Grand Master|GM]] level.

Like [[#Stats|Pet Stats]], these skill levels are subject to no ''overall'' cap - Some creatures, such as the [[Rune Beetle]], can be trained to have over 800 points amongst all their skills.

===Wrestling, Tactics & Anatomy===
A [[Pets|pet's]] ability to [[Wrestling|Wrestle]] improves its chance to hit a target, while [[Tactics]] improves the amount of damage it can actually deal. To improve in these two skills your pet must fight something within about 25 points of its own skill ranges.

[[Anatomy]] on the other hand can be trained by fighting against a target of any skill level. It tends to raise at a much slower rate, however. It improves your pet's chance of dealing critical hits.

===Magery, Evaluating Intelligence & Meditation===
[[Character]]s mostly rely on their [[Magery]] skill to determine their chance to cast a [[Spells|spell]], however a magic capable pet is only limited by the amount of [[mana]] it has in reserve. A wild [[Nightmare]], for example, will quite happily open up with [[Flamestrike]]s despite only spawning with a maximum of about 50 Magery.

Nevertheless, Magery does serve to improve the effects of some spells. For example, a pet with more skill is more likely to succeed when casting [[Cure]] or [[Arch Cure]], and will be able to repair more damage with [[Heal]] or [[Greater Heal]].

[[Evaluating Intelligence]] serves to boost the effects of most combat-orientated spells, improving damage dealt along with the duration of [[buff]]s or [[buff|debuffs]]. The [[Meditation]] skill serves to improve [[mana]] regeneration, hence helping your pets to remain effective for prolonged periods of time.

It doesn't really matter what you fight for the purpose of improving these skills, as pets cast spells automatically in combat and do so whenever they find themselves with a shred of mana to spare. However a pet which has used up all it's mana will mostly cast lower level spells, hence reducing their chances of gaining Magery when they hit the higher skill levels. One solution to this is to fight creatures that spawn solo, hence allowing for some recuperation between kills.

===Resisting Spells===
A pet's ability to [[Resisting Spells|resist spells]] essentially makes it harder to inflict a [[buff|debuff]] upon it. For example, at 100 skill, you will require ''over'' 110 points in Magery to inflict a [[Curse]] on your pet - and even if you manage it, it won't last anywhere near as long or lower it's abilities by anywhere near as much as if it lacked spell resist altogether.

This skill was traditionally very hard to raise until the destruction of the original [[Old Haven|Haven]] introduced [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s. These are unique in that they only cast the types of spells which trigger spell resist checks ([[buff|debuffs]]), and of ''those'' they only cast the spells that deal no damage. In terms of physical combat they are also extremely weak.

To train in this manner, simply wander the streets of [[Old Haven]] ordering your pets to "kill" the Spellbinders you see. As soon as you can, tell them to "follow" you again and the undead spirit will follow your pet blasting it with spells.

If you cannot find any Spellbinders, simply kill all the undead spawn in the area and a fresh wave will appear in short order. If you have a particularly weak pet you'll need to keep a close eye on it's health bar, a full [[Lower Reagent Cost]] suit helps maintain a lengthy session of [[Greater Heal]] spells (but be careful to conserve your [[mana]] as much as possible).

Once you've got as many Spellbinders as possible simply sit back and let them cast away. While their spells do no damage at all, the eight closest to your pet will be able to deal melee attacks, so you might like to take advantage and practise your [[Veterinary]] skill while you wait. Depending on the amount of monsters you attracted you should be done within an hour, perhaps a little longer should you wish to cap your pet's [[#Stats|Stats]] while you're at it.

===Poisoning===
Guess [[Poisoning]] is a lot like [[Anatomy]], target any type of enemy you wish and just keep belting them.

===Healing===
The only [[Pets|pet]] with the [[Healing]] skill is the [[Cu Sidhe]]. It will not only use the skill to aid itself but its master as well, assuming you're in range.

It'll automatically use the skill whenever its health level is below a certain amount (90%?), and continue until fully repaired. However, in order to train past 90.0 points, it must cure deadly poison.

An otherwise well trained Cu is quite capable of killing single [[Rotting Corpse]]s indefinitely without intervention from its master. Be warned that because the process of getting poisoned and then curing itself is very slow, it can potentially take ''months'' to reach [[Grand Master]] level. Many [[player]]s choose not to bother, more still now that the [[Greater Dragon]] is a far more effective pet then the [[Cu Sidhe]] in terms of both giving as well as taking damage.

==Stats==
Use [[Animal Lore]] to check out your pet's [[stats]]. Your [[character]]'s stats can each be trained to a maximum of 125, and this is also true for your pets. However, unlike characters, pets have no "overall" stat cap and so [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]] and [[Intelligence]] can ''all'' potentially reach their maximums.

Pets gain stats by exercising their [[skills]], but gain them far faster if using skills that are already capped out. A good way to get stats up quickly (particulary [[Dexterity]], which can be very slow to train) is to raise [[#Resisting Spells|Resisting Spells]] first, and continue to have spells inflicted on your pet after that has reached it's maximum.

Each time a creature gains in a stat, it will also gain in a related statistic - For example, improving [[Strength]] will also improve [[Hit Points]]. Therefore you want to tame a pet with the highest hit point total possible (so as to have the best starting point to train from), and the lowest strength value possible (so as to have the greatest number of potential gains to the hit point total).

An exception to this rule is when a creature's initial strength value can start at 125 or higher. As you won't be able to improve it any further, you therefore wish to tame a creature with both the highest strength and hit point totals possible. Similar rules apply to [[Dexterity]] (which improves [[Stamina]]) and [[Intelligence]] (which improves [[Mana]]).

===Strength===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Strength]] it's maximum [[Hit Points]] will also increase by one. This also determines your pet's base damage output.

===Dexterity===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Dexterity]] it's maximum [[Stamina]] level will also increase by one. The more stamina a pet has the faster it can strike and the faster it can [[Pets#Pet Speed|travel]].

===Intelligence===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Intelligence]] it's maximum [[Mana]] level will also increase by one, which also improves it's regeneration speed.

==Resistances==
Use [[Animal Lore]] to check out your pet's [[resistances]]. Unlike your [[character]] (which starts with no resistances and gains them by donning [[armor]]), pets come with their own "base" resistances which vary between specimens.

Your character can improve his or her resists by training [[Resisting Spells]] (albeit by a very small amount) - While your pets can ''also'' train in this skill, they will ''not'' receive a resistance bonus from it. Hence they cannot improve their initial resistance levels at all - make sure the pet you choose to train starts out with the highest levels possible for that particular creature type (especially in terms of physical resistance).

==Conventional Training: What, When & Where==
This section goes through the different [[Monsters]] used for pet training, the list is compiled based on ease of training (less chance of dieing), loot available and spawn rate; using these monsters you should be able to train any pet up to its maximum skill levels. It is generally recommended to cap your pets stats by having [[#Resisting Spells|Spectral Spellbinders raise Resisting Spells]].

'''Discalimer:''' The following guide is based on training high level pets, ie from [[Bake Kitsune]]s and above, this is because when you are able to control tougher pets the need to own lower level pets (even Kitsunes at top levels) becomes pointless in terms of hunting so any training you do on low level pets ([[Polar Bear]]s for example) may be futile. 
Its fair to say that most new players will probably be given their first decent pet (like a Kitsune) by a higher level player and is most likely going to have poor resists and so when you get to the level where you can tame one yourself you will probably tame a new one with better resists and dump the first one so the first one can seem a waist of time. 
However the point of using pets initially (besides from gaining real world experience in hunting) is to raise your [[Veterinary]] skill which is the fastest way to gain in [[Animal Lore]]; Animal Lore is a very important skill for controlling and taming pets and raising it will enable you to control and tame higher level pets quicker than raising taming alone 
So the thought process goes - Get a Kitsune (or tougher pet) as early as possible because you can fight harder monsters which do more damage to the pet which allows you to use [[Veterinary]] skill on it more which give you faster gains in Animal Lore which loops back and allows you to own even tougher pets

'''[[Honor]]''' is an important virtue for tamers because you can use it to tame high level pets without fear of being eaten; the higher the monsters [[Fame]] the more Honor you gain so you can train Honor while hunting, though if you want to get to a knight of Honor quickly then it is generally accepted that the [[Succubus]] on the 2nd level of [[Fan Dancer Dojo]] is the best place to go; Knight of Honor isn't necessary most of the time though and training on [[Miasma]] while training your [[Greater Dragon]] and making some money is a very efficient way of gaining in Honor right up to the top follower levels; due to the lack of information on the exact fame ratings of monsters at higher levels I have added a rating system for each of the monsters below based on useful Honor gaining ie amount of Honor given, ease of farming Honor from the Monster and other benefits such as loot

See the [[Pets]] section for more detailed information on your pets and how to control them

* Train [[Nightmare]] and [[Rune Beetle]]s together to protect either from dieing.
* Setup a macro to bandaged next follower, this will enable you control the healing of two pets alternatively.

==Unconventional Training Methods==
Techniques that can be used to quickly raise your pet's abilities outside of traditional combat.

===Punching Bags===
When training very weak one-slot pets, it can be quite difficult to get gains without getting them killed. An easy way to get around this is to simply have them attack targets that won't fight back. This is very easily arranged in the [[Felucca]] facet (where pets can target yourself and your other pets).

The most obvious practise dummy is your own [[character]]. Armor yourself as you see fit, but steer clear of items that make you hard to strike - [[Shields]] or things with the [[Defense Chance Increase]] property. [[Hit Point Regeneration]] and [[Self Repair]], on the other hand, are most useful. A full suit of [[Virtue Armor]] plus a few jewels for [[HPR]] works well.

Simply travel to an out-of-the-way location and have your pet attack yourself. Toggle out of combat mode to prevent damage to your "pupil", and allow it to batter away at you.

If you have the skill to control a stronger pet, bring one along and have the trainee attack that. A [[Cu Sidhe]] is ideal, as it can heal itself. Do careful not to give any "kill", "guard" or "stop" orders to your punching bag - it'll retaliate and make short work of it's aggressor (even if you don't choose a target for the "kill" command).

This method will typically only take your pet up to about 45 Wrestling/Tactics. After this point, it will need to fight creatures with skill levels within about 20 points of it's own scores in order to gain further.

===Quickly Cap Statistics===
Pets can be trained to 125 in any and all of the three statistics - [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]] and [[Intelligence]]. Doing so increases the amount of damage they can give/take, how fast they can move/attack, and how often/long they can cast spells for.

Whenever a pet uses a skill it has a chance to gain in associated stats, however, this chance is significantly improved if the skill in concern is already at it's maximum. Therefore you'll usually only start to see good stat gains after a significant amount of regular combat training.

The way around this is lays with [[Resisting Spells]]. This skill [[#Resisting Spells|can be raised very quickly]] by attracting a large group of [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s. These will still cast when the skill itself maxes out, and the statistic gains will come very quickly if you continue to allow them to do so.

This technique is particularly useful for raising [[#Dexterity|Dexterity]], which can otherwise be very slow to cap. Note that while Spellbinders are weak they can deal a bit of damage in numbers... Weak one slot pets will require heavy healing (good for [[Veterinary]] gains), while stronger creatures (such as the [[Cu Sidhe]]) can more or less ignore their attacks indefinitely.

===Shadow Iron Elementals===
Some [[Elemental]]s are strangely immune to spells and [[pet]]s. This can make them aggravating when encountered in the wild by a tamer, but very, very useful for the purpose of training - an unkillable target with reasonable combat skills means you can train your pets into the higher skill levels with no interruptions.

[[Shadow Iron Elemental]]s are the best examples for this technique. They're roughly on par with the average freshly tamed "[[Pet Guide|high level]]" pet, without any nasty tricks (such as the [[Valorite Elemental]]'s area attack).

While they can be found in the wild, it is typically far less trouble to have one spawned for you by a [[Mining|Miner]]. If you intend to fill that role yourself, you'll need 70 points of skill (with or without item bonuses), a [[Gargoyle's Pickaxe]], and a [[Prospector's Tool]].

Find a cliff face near where you wish to train, and travel around using the Tool on the mountain. Remember an ore vein comprises of an 8x8 area, only use the Tool in each vein once. This upgrades the ore type by one. Keep going until you're informed that the vein was changed to [[Dull Copper]].

Once you get this message, grab the Pickaxe and start swinging at that spot. If you're lucky, an elemental will spawn right next to you; don't worry, although it's hostile it moves very slowly and has no ranged attacks. Lead it away to where you wish to train, set your pet(s) on it, and provide heals as required.

An average elemental will have about 60 Wrestling/Tactics. Your pets need to be within about 20 skill points of these levels in order to get gains. As the battle progresses the elemental will improve as well, so a single target can potentially take your pets all the way to GM. Although unkillable, elementals will de-spawn after a few hours - be aware that the next elemental you summon might be too weak to train them further, but if you can rig the timing to your advantage elementals can still be used to achieve GM skill levels.

This technique can be used to train multiple pets at once. Since only one of your charges will be attacked by the elemental, it becomes possible to easily train weak pets. Simply make sure your strongest is set to [[Pets#Active Pet|Active]] prior to giving the "all kill" order.

==Quick Guide To Power Training==
This mini guide provides you with a quick reference to the fastest way to train any standard pet by conventional means.
* [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s to raise spell resist to maximum. Continue allowing them to cast on your pet until it's stats are also all capped.
* Begin fighting with [[Arctic Ogre Lord]]s until melee skills are above 50.
* [[Sphynx]] to GM all skills except CU Healing.
* [[Rotting Corpse]]s to GM CU Healing (can take a while).
* [[Miasma]] to train Greater Dragon above GM.

{{tocright}}Training your [[pet]] well is important for a number of reasons:
* Even a [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-power-calculator/ highly scored] pet that has just been tamed is relatively weak and can die a lot without training.
* Your [[Veterinary]] skill will go up while you are training your pets which in turn raises your [[Animal Lore]] skill. This effects (among other things) how much control you have over you pets and which pets you can control - That is to say, raise your Animal Lore through Vetting your pet while training and you will quickly be able to other control higher level pets!

'''Notes:'''
* You should always use jewelry for hunting and to control your pets, get a [[ring]] and [[bracelet]] that give you as high [[Animal Taming]] and [[Animal Lore]] as possible (max 15) in order to control higher level pets earlier. The Taming skill is the more important of the two.
* Fighting higher level monsters causes more damage to your pets and thus raises your Vet skill (and thus Animal Lore) faster; besides this they also provide better loot drops, money and you will develop better hunting skills. However, your targets combat skills must be relatively close to your pets - too strong (or weak) and your pet won't gain.
* You will find it very difficult to tame your first hunting pets so get a guild mate or friend to tame one for you.

See the [[Pets]] section for more detailed information on your pets and how to control them

See [[Pet Guide]] for a comparison of high level hunting pets

==Initial Selection==
[[Pets|Pet]] training begins by getting a pet ''worth'' training. If you're going to invest time in making your creatures more powerful, it stands to reason that you should first spend some time making sure the initial specimen is as powerful as possible.

There are a few aspects of your minions that you need to take heed of. First off, choose a [[Pet Guide|species that has potential]]. There's not much point in spending days, weeks or even months maxing out an [[Imp]] only to find that it's still rubbish.

Set yourself up a macro to activate the [[Animal Lore]] skill (as a [[Animal Taming|tamer]] you should already have a fair bit of this, but if not, remember that [[humans]] get an inferred minimum of 20 points in every skill). Using this on your pets will grant you a detailed window which goes through their strengths and weaknesses.

However, to lore a non-tame creature requires very high levels of skill - 100 for [[animals]], 110 for [[monsters]]. Once a creature has been tamed it will lose at least 10% from all its attributes. Some values will in fact halve. Tame a random sample first so you've some idea as to what the losses will be. Note that taming a creature under the effects of the [[Paralyze]] spell results in even greater penalties.

A good way to find out how powerful a pet is likely to be once it is fully trained is to tame it and enter the post tamed values into the [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-power-calculator/ UOCraft Pet Power Calculator].

You can also work out your chance of controlling a given species [http://www.uocraft.com/taming/pet-control-chance-calculator/ here]. If you do not have enough skill to control a given creature, it will ignore you in battle and you will be unable to [[Pet Bonding|bond]] with it.

==Skills==
Any [[skill]] a creature has can be trained to either 90% of what it was before taming, or 100.0 points (which ever is higher). For example, a creature tamed with 144 [[Wrestling]] will have a training cap of 129.6 (144 - 14.4), while a creature tamed with 50 [[Tactics]] can only be trained to [[Grand Master|GM]] level.

Like [[#Stats|Pet Stats]], these skill levels are subject to no ''overall'' cap - Some creatures, such as the [[Rune Beetle]], can be trained to have over 800 points amongst all their skills.

===Wrestling, Tactics & Anatomy===
A [[Pets|pet's]] ability to [[Wrestling|Wrestle]] improves its chance to hit a target, while [[Tactics]] improves the amount of damage it can actually deal. To improve in these two skills your pet must fight something within about 25 points of its own skill ranges.

[[Anatomy]] on the other hand can be trained by fighting against a target of any skill level. It tends to raise at a much slower rate, however. It improves your pet's chance of dealing critical hits.

===Magery, Evaluating Intelligence & Meditation===
[[Character]]s mostly rely on their [[Magery]] skill to determine their chance to cast a [[Spells|spell]], however a magic capable pet is only limited by the amount of [[mana]] it has in reserve. A wild [[Nightmare]], for example, will quite happily open up with [[Flamestrike]]s despite only spawning with a maximum of about 50 Magery.

Nevertheless, Magery does serve to improve the effects of some spells. For example, a pet with more skill is more likely to succeed when casting [[Cure]] or [[Arch Cure]], and will be able to repair more damage with [[Heal]] or [[Greater Heal]].

[[Evaluating Intelligence]] serves to boost the effects of most combat-orientated spells, improving damage dealt along with the duration of [[buff]]s or [[buff|debuffs]]. The [[Meditation]] skill serves to improve [[mana]] regeneration, hence helping your pets to remain effective for prolonged periods of time.

It doesn't really matter what you fight for the purpose of improving these skills, as pets cast spells automatically in combat and do so whenever they find themselves with a shred of mana to spare. However a pet which has used up all it's mana will mostly cast lower level spells, hence reducing their chances of gaining Magery when they hit the higher skill levels. One solution to this is to fight creatures that spawn solo, hence allowing for some recuperation between kills.

===Resisting Spells===
A pet's ability to [[Resisting Spells|resist spells]] essentially makes it harder to inflict a [[buff|debuff]] upon it. For example, at 100 skill, you will require ''over'' 110 points in Magery to inflict a [[Curse]] on your pet - and even if you manage it, it won't last anywhere near as long or lower it's abilities by anywhere near as much as if it lacked spell resist altogether.

This skill was traditionally very hard to raise until the destruction of the original [[Old Haven|Haven]] introduced [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s. These are unique in that they only cast the types of spells which trigger spell resist checks ([[buff|debuffs]]), and of ''those'' they only cast the spells that deal no damage. In terms of physical combat they are also extremely weak.

To train in this manner, simply wander the streets of [[Old Haven]] ordering your pets to "kill" the Spellbinders you see. As soon as you can, tell them to "follow" you again and the undead spirit will follow your pet blasting it with spells.

If you cannot find any Spellbinders, simply kill all the undead spawn in the area and a fresh wave will appear in short order. If you have a particularly weak pet you'll need to keep a close eye on it's health bar, a full [[Lower Reagent Cost]] suit helps maintain a lengthy session of [[Greater Heal]] spells (but be careful to conserve your [[mana]] as much as possible).

Once you've got as many Spellbinders as possible simply sit back and let them cast away. While their spells do no damage at all, the eight closest to your pet will be able to deal melee attacks, so you might like to take advantage and practise your [[Veterinary]] skill while you wait. Depending on the amount of monsters you attracted you should be done within an hour, perhaps a little longer should you wish to cap your pet's [[#Stats|Stats]] while you're at it.

===Poisoning===
Guess [[Poisoning]] is a lot like [[Anatomy]], target any type of enemy you wish and just keep belting them.

===Healing===
The only [[Pets|pet]] with the [[Healing]] skill is the [[Cu Sidhe]]. It will not only use the skill to aid itself but its master as well, assuming you're in range.

It'll automatically use the skill whenever its health level is below a certain amount (90%?), and continue until fully repaired. However, in order to train past 90.0 points, it must cure deadly poison.

An otherwise well trained Cu is quite capable of killing single [[Rotting Corpse]]s indefinitely without intervention from its master. Be warned that because the process of getting poisoned and then curing itself is very slow, it can potentially take ''months'' to reach [[Grand Master]] level. Many [[player]]s choose not to bother, more still now that the [[Greater Dragon]] is a far more effective pet then the [[Cu Sidhe]] in terms of both giving as well as taking damage.

==Stats==
Use [[Animal Lore]] to check out your pet's [[stats]]. Your [[character]]'s stats can each be trained to a maximum of 125, and this is also true for your pets. However, unlike characters, pets have no "overall" stat cap and so [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]] and [[Intelligence]] can ''all'' potentially reach their maximums.

Pets gain stats by exercising their [[skills]], but gain them far faster if using skills that are already capped out. A good way to get stats up quickly (particulary [[Dexterity]], which can be very slow to train) is to raise [[#Resisting Spells|Resisting Spells]] first, and continue to have spells inflicted on your pet after that has reached it's maximum.

Each time a creature gains in a stat, it will also gain in a related statistic - For example, improving [[Strength]] will also improve [[Hit Points]]. Therefore you want to tame a pet with the highest hit point total possible (so as to have the best starting point to train from), and the lowest strength value possible (so as to have the greatest number of potential gains to the hit point total).

An exception to this rule is when a creature's initial strength value can start at 125 or higher. As you won't be able to improve it any further, you therefore wish to tame a creature with both the highest strength and hit point totals possible. Similar rules apply to [[Dexterity]] (which improves [[Stamina]]) and [[Intelligence]] (which improves [[Mana]]).

===Strength===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Strength]] it's maximum [[Hit Points]] will also increase by one. This also determines your pet's base damage output.

===Dexterity===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Dexterity]] it's maximum [[Stamina]] level will also increase by one. The more stamina a pet has the faster it can strike and the faster it can [[Pets#Pet Speed|travel]].

===Intelligence===
Every time a creature gains a point of [[Intelligence]] it's maximum [[Mana]] level will also increase by one, which also improves it's regeneration speed.

==Resistances==
Use [[Animal Lore]] to check out your pet's [[resistances]]. Unlike your [[character]] (which starts with no resistances and gains them by donning [[armor]]), pets come with their own "base" resistances which vary between specimens.

Your character can improve his or her resists by training [[Resisting Spells]] (albeit by a very small amount) - While your pets can ''also'' train in this skill, they will ''not'' receive a resistance bonus from it. Hence they cannot improve their initial resistance levels at all - make sure the pet you choose to train starts out with the highest levels possible for that particular creature type (especially in terms of physical resistance).

==Conventional Training: What, When & Where==
This section goes through the different [[Monsters]] used for pet training, the list is compiled based on ease of training (less chance of dieing), loot available and spawn rate; using these monsters you should be able to train any pet up to its maximum skill levels. It is generally recommended to cap your pets stats by having [[#Resisting Spells|Spectral Spellbinders raise Resisting Spells]].

'''Discalimer:''' The following guide is based on training high level pets, ie from [[Bake Kitsune]]s and above, this is because when you are able to control tougher pets the need to own lower level pets (even Kitsunes at top levels) becomes pointless in terms of hunting so any training you do on low level pets ([[Polar Bear]]s for example) may be futile. 
Its fair to say that most new players will probably be given their first decent pet (like a Kitsune) by a higher level player and is most likely going to have poor resists and so when you get to the level where you can tame one yourself you will probably tame a new one with better resists and dump the first one so the first one can seem a waist of time. 
However the point of using pets initially (besides from gaining real world experience in hunting) is to raise your [[Veterinary]] skill which is the fastest way to gain in [[Animal Lore]]; Animal Lore is a very important skill for controlling and taming pets and raising it will enable you to control and tame higher level pets quicker than raising taming alone 
So the thought process goes - Get a Kitsune (or tougher pet) as early as possible because you can fight harder monsters which do more damage to the pet which allows you to use [[Veterinary]] skill on it more which give you faster gains in Animal Lore which loops back and allows you to own even tougher pets

'''[[Honor]]''' is an important virtue for tamers because you can use it to tame high level pets without fear of being eaten; the higher the monsters [[Fame]] the more Honor you gain so you can train Honor while hunting, though if you want to get to a knight of Honor quickly then it is generally accepted that the [[Succubus]] on the 2nd level of [[Fan Dancer Dojo]] is the best place to go; Knight of Honor isn't necessary most of the time though and training on [[Miasma]] while training your [[Greater Dragon]] and making some money is a very efficient way of gaining in Honor right up to the top follower levels; due to the lack of information on the exact fame ratings of monsters at higher levels I have added a rating system for each of the monsters below based on useful Honor gaining ie amount of Honor given, ease of farming Honor from the Monster and other benefits such as loot

* [[Daemon]]s in [[Hythloth]] dungeon level 2, north eastern most room are also used to Magic resist training and mid level melee training; a room where 1 spawns at a time; in theory you can hide in here and just let your pet go on a killing spree, this was left out of the above list due to the dangerousness level of the area and the fact there are easier spawns to work elsewhere .
* Train [[Nightmare]] and [[Rune Beetle]]s together to protect either from dieing.
* Setup a macro to bandaged next follower, this will enable you control the healing of two pets alternatively.

==Unconventional Training Methods==
Techniques that can be used to quickly raise your pet's abilities outside of traditional combat.

===Punching Bags===
When training very weak one-slot pets, it can be quite difficult to get gains without getting them killed. An easy way to get around this is to simply have them attack targets that won't fight back. This is very easily arranged in the [[Felucca]] facet (where pets can target yourself and your other pets).

The most obvious practise dummy is your own [[character]]. Armor yourself as you see fit, but steer clear of items that make you hard to strike - [[Shields]] or things with the [[Defense Chance Increase]] property. [[Hit Point Regeneration]] and [[Self Repair]], on the other hand, are most useful. A full suit of [[Virtue Armor]] plus a few jewels for [[HPR]] works well.

Simply travel to an out-of-the-way location and have your pet attack yourself. Toggle out of combat mode to prevent damage to your "pupil", and allow it to batter away at you.

If you have the skill to control a stronger pet, bring one along and have the trainee attack that. A [[Cu Sidhe]] is ideal, as it can heal itself. Do careful not to give any "kill", "guard" or "stop" orders to your punching bag - it'll retaliate and make short work of it's aggressor (even if you don't choose a target for the "kill" command).

This method will typically only take your pet up to about 45 Wrestling/Tactics. After this point, it will need to fight creatures with skill levels within about 20 points of it's own scores in order to gain further.

===Quickly Cap Statistics===
Pets can be trained to 125 in any and all of the three statistics - [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]] and [[Intelligence]]. Doing so increases the amount of damage they can give/take, how fast they can move/attack, and how often/long they can cast spells for.

Whenever a pet uses a skill it has a chance to gain in associated stats, however, this chance is significantly improved if the skill in concern is already at it's maximum. Therefore you'll usually only start to see good stat gains after a significant amount of regular combat training.

The way around this is lays with [[Resisting Spells]]. This skill [[#Resisting Spells|can be raised very quickly]] by attracting a large group of [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s. These will still cast when the skill itself maxes out, and the statistic gains will come very quickly if you continue to allow them to do so.

This technique is particularly useful for raising [[#Dexterity|Dexterity]], which can otherwise be very slow to cap. Note that while Spellbinders are weak they can deal a bit of damage in numbers... Weak one slot pets will require heavy healing (good for [[Veterinary]] gains), while stronger creatures (such as the [[Cu Sidhe]]) can more or less ignore their attacks indefinitely.

===Shadow Iron Elementals===
Some [[Elemental]]s are strangely immune to spells and [[pet]]s. This can make them aggravating when encountered in the wild by a tamer, but very, very useful for the purpose of training - an unkillable target with reasonable combat skills means you can train your pets into the higher skill levels with no interruptions.

[[Shadow Iron Elemental]]s are the best examples for this technique. They're roughly on par with the average freshly tamed "[[Pet Guide|high level]]" pet, without any nasty tricks (such as the [[Valorite Elemental]]'s area attack).

While they can be found in the wild, it is typically far less trouble to have one spawned for you by a [[Mining|Miner]]. If you intend to fill that role yourself, you'll need 70 points of skill (with or without item bonuses), a [[Gargoyle's Pickaxe]], and a [[Prospector's Tool]].

Find a cliff face near where you wish to train, and travel around using the Tool on the mountain. Remember an ore vein comprises of an 8x8 area, only use the Tool in each vein once. This upgrades the ore type by one. Keep going until you're informed that the vein was changed to [[Dull Copper]].

Once you get this message, grab the Pickaxe and start swinging at that spot. If you're lucky, an elemental will spawn right next to you; don't worry, although it's hostile it moves very slowly and has no ranged attacks. Lead it away to where you wish to train, set your pet(s) on it, and provide heals as required.

An average elemental will have about 60 Wrestling/Tactics. Your pets need to be within about 20 skill points of these levels in order to get gains. As the battle progresses the elemental will improve as well, so a single target can potentially take your pets all the way to GM. Although unkillable, elementals will de-spawn after a few hours - be aware that the next elemental you summon might be too weak to train them further, but if you can rig the timing to your advantage elementals can still be used to achieve GM skill levels.

This technique can be used to train multiple pets at once. Since only one of your charges will be attacked by the elemental, it becomes possible to easily train weak pets. Simply make sure your strongest is set to [[Pets#Active Pet|Active]] prior to giving the "all kill" order.

==Quick Guide To Power Training==
This mini guide provides you with a quick reference to the fastest way to train any standard pet by conventional means.
* [[Spectral Spellbinder]]s to raise spell resist to maximum. Continue allowing them to cast on your pet until it's stats are also all capped.
* Begin fighting with [[Arctic Ogre Lord]]s until melee skills are above 50.
* [[Sphynx]] to GM all skills except CU Healing.
* [[Rotting Corpse]]s to GM CU Healing (can take a while).
* [[Miasma]] to train Greater Dragon above GM.

Animal Taming

2017-04-18T23:32:50Z

OxAO: moving this to Animal training

[[Image:Flag_animal_taming.gif|frame]]
{{tocright}}
“What is that monster blocking the front door?” 
“It’s a dragon. It followed me home. Can I keep it?”

To tame a beast to accept you as master requires patience, nerve and a power of will. The rewards of studying Animal Taming are considered by some to be well worth the time invested. Tamers have long-been considered extremely useful and versatile in fighting monsters and, to a lesser extent, players as well.

Your taming skill (along with [[Animal Lore]]) determines the odds of taming a given creature then controlling it. It's furthermore required in order to [[Pet Bonding|bond]] with certain creatures, and also plays a hand in determining your [[stable|stable slot limit]].

In order to tame a creature you must be standing within three tiles of it with no obstructions, then target it with the skill. Once taming has begun you may stray anywhere up to ten tiles away from the target though if it loses sight of you or is injured in any way the attempt will cease.

After a few seconds you'll be notified of either your success or failure.

While most animals are non-hostile and can be tamed at any time, most taming attempts against a monster will instantly fail. In this case there's no wait time before you can try again so it's best to set a macro and use this over and over as fast as you can until you successfully start the taming process.

[[Veterinary]] is a near essential skill for serious tamers in that it is the only method available for resurrecting dead pets.

''See [[Pet Training]] for more information on training your pets.''

''See the [[Pets]] section for more detailed information on your pets and how to control them.''

''See [[Pet Guide]] for a comparison of high level hunting pets.''

''See the [[Tameables]] page for a list of tameable creatures.''

==Training==
Training taming is a very slow process in that it can only be improved through active use. It takes several seconds to attempt to tame a creature, and when you succeed you cannot gain off that creature again. In most cases it is best to take this as a starting skill for your character should you wish to use it.

In order to increase the spawn rate of new targets you should release and then kill each as you progress. You may find keeping some of them under you control to help cull the others helps matters.

* '''0 - 30''': Train at [[NPC]] [[Stable]] Master
* '''30 - 45''': [[Cow]]s and [[Sheep]]
* '''45 - 60''': [[Hind]]s and [[Timber Wolf|Timber Wolves]]
** Many wolves spawn near the [[Huntsman]].
* '''60 - 75''': [[Walrus]] and [[Polar Bear]]s
** [[Dagger Isle]] is the best place to tame both of these [[Animals|animals]].
* '''75 - 85''': [[Snow Leopard]]s and [[Panther]]s
** Stay at [[Dagger Isle]], but concentrate on Snow Leopards.
* '''85 - 100''': [[Great Hart]]s and [[White Wolf|White Wolves]]
** [[Healer's Grove]], north of the [[Sacrifice]] [[Moongate]] in [[Ilshenar]], is a great place to go.
* '''100 - 120''': [[Ridgeback]]s and [[Bull]]s
** The plains of [[Central Ilshenar]], north of [[Castle Blackthorn|Blackthorn's Castle]] (West of the [[Compassion]] Moongate through the mountains), is the best place to find [[Ridgeback]]s. A better spot is in the savage camp just south of castle. Put on a dose of [[Tribal Paint]] and you will find a pen in the bottom of the camp. Two spawn there non-stop. Tame one kill it and another respawn in about 15 seconds. In this spot you won't have to deal with any of the annoying spawn that might interrupt your taming efforts.

* '''90-120''': Cast [[Combat Training]], target a pet, ignore the pop up menu, repeat.
** Requires [[Skill Mastery]] for Animal Taming.

==Do's and Don'ts==
* Have a special armor set for each of the taming targets. I got an armor out of stuff which was not good enough to sale them.
** Wear eater armor. For example use cold+energy+damage eater for [[Cu Sidhe]]. Fire+Physical+damage+kinetic for [[Greater Dragon]].
** Don't wear [[Reflect Physical Damage]] armor parts. Because if the animal gets hurt, it will disturb your taming attempt.
** Avoid insured items with the [[prized]] attribute. Cause the insurance cost will grow.
** The Armor should have [[Hit Point Increase]] and [[Hit Point Regeneration]] on it.
* Don't paralyze-tame pets which can have GM+ skill values. It will decrease the result skills maximum.
* Attack the pets to lower their HP's, because they are getting slower then.
* Have [[Orange Petal]]s in your bag. They are cheaper than insurance costs.

==Pet Skills and Stats==
After the creature has been tamed, it will has half of its HP as it were wild. 
Its skills cap will decrease 10% if the skill is higher than 100 before taming. 
If you use the paralyze taming style it will loose more than 10%. 
Each skill below 100 and above 0 can be trained up to 100 or to the new cap. 
If a bounded pet will be ressed, it may loose some of its current skill points.

''The alien technology of the Kotl has spread throughout the realm in the eons since their arrival - we must recover that technology so we may release Zipactriotl and destroy it once and for all! The time is now for the Myrmidex rule with the Barrabian at their side! All hail the Myrmidex! All hail the Barrab!''

Wall Safe

2016-05-21T06:45:10Z

OxAO:

The '''Wall Safe''' is a house add on introduced with Publish 90. Made by a tinker.

This item is crafted as a deed by a tinker and can be placed in a house away from other objects that you own or are co-owned to. Security on the safe is set as with a normal container. The picture below shows that the character Joy Nerry deposited into her secure account balance of 50,000gp. Of this she put 25,000 in a wall safe. Shortly after she withdrew 4,000gp. She now has 29,000 in her secure account. The safe has 21,000gp which can be withdraw by any other player character who has access to the safe. When accessing a safe each character sees their own secure account balance. Withdrawing cash from the safe will put it into the withdrawing character’s secure account. The wall safe holds up to 100,000,000 gold

Each character is also able to put funds into a ‘secure account’ at the bank. Using the option ‘Deposit Gold into Secure Account’ will deduct the amount from the group bank total. Funds from this account can be put into a currency wall safe in a house, either yours or a house you are friended/co-owned to, provided the security setting on the safe grants you access. Any character with the correct access can withdraw the funds from the safe into his/her own secure account. Use this feature to transfer funds to players who are offline or to you own alternate account if you have one. The balance for this is currently shown as the ‘escrow balance’.

Wall Safe

2016-05-17T07:34:09Z

OxAO: OK this is good for now I hope?

The '''Wall Safe''' is a house add on introduced with Publish 90. Made by a tinker.

This item is crafted as a deed by a tinker and can be placed in a house you own or are co-owned to. Security on the safe is set as with a normal container. The picture below shows that the character Joy Nerry deposited into her secure account balance of 50,000gp. Of this she put 25,000 in a wall safe. Shortly after she withdrew 4,000gp. She now has 29,000 in her secure account. The safe has 21,000gp which can be withdraw by any other player character who has access to the safe. When accessing a safe each character sees their own secure account balance. Withdrawing cash from the safe will put it into the withdrawing character’s secure account. The wall safe holds up to 100,000,000 gold

Each character is also able to put funds into a ‘secure account’ at the bank. Using the option ‘Deposit Gold into Secure Account’ will deduct the amount from the group bank total. Funds from this account can be put into a currency wall safe in a house, either yours or a house you are friended/co-owned to, provided the security setting on the safe grants you access. Any character with the correct access can withdraw the funds from the safe into his/her own secure account. Use this feature to transfer funds to players who are offline or to you own alternate account if you have one. The balance for this is currently shown as the ‘escrow balance’.

Camping

2014-02-28T08:54:33Z

OxAO: like to make a list of where it can not be used but this a start Thanks

[[Image:Flag_camping.gif|frame]]
{{tocright}}
The Camping skill is used to logout safely when out in the wilderness. It is almost never used, as even new players logout at a tavern or inn, and so is considered somewhat of a [[Useless Skill]].

In order to create a camp, you require some [[kindling]] and a [[bedroll]]. Use the kindling to attempt to ignite it. Once done, in about 30 seconds or so, you - and anyone near near you - will receive a message that the camp has been made secure. Anyone who gets the message (not just the person who created the camp) may then use a bedroll to log out instantly by placing it on the ground, unrolling it by double-clicking it, then double-clicking again to receieve a logout confirmation gump.

Unlike logging out at a tavern, inn or player home, logging out successfully with the Camping skill will merely display a Connection Lost message instead of returning the player to the Login screen.

You may [[hiding|hide]] while the camp is being made secure, and log out while still invisible. Some areas of the game world (such as [[Doom]] and woods of Ter Mur) cannot be camped in, but otherwise the skill can be used any time - Even if your character is flagged for combat.

==Training==
Train to 30 from an [[NPC]] Gypsy. Load up with and double-click [[kindling]]. Each time you secure a camp, your skill may be raised.
*[[Tainted Tree Sample]] can be used as [[kindling]].

Hit Chance Increase

2014-01-21T00:07:33Z

OxAO: Gargyoles no longer have a 50 cap thank you

'''Hit Chance Increase''' (HCI) is an [[Item Properties|item property]] that increases the probability to hit a target. HCI is usually found on weapons, rings, and bracelets with a range of 1% to 15%.

HCI is capped at 45% for all races. However, HCI worn above the cap ''is'' included when calculating the impact of an opponent’s [[Hit Lower Attack]] modified weapon. Therefore, there are benefits to wearing HCI items that total more than your character's cap in certain [[Player vs. Player|player versus player]] combat situations.

==Artifacts==
Items that have more than HCI 15% or items that would not usually have HCI:

* [[Axes of Fury]] (dual short axes, 20%)
* [[Black Lotus Hood]] (headgear, 6%)
* [[Captain John's Hat]] (headgear, 15%)
* [[Cloak Of Death]] (outerwear, 3%)
* [[Conjurer's Trinket]] ( talisman, 10%)
* [[Dread Pirate Hat]] (headgear, 10%)
* [[Gladiator's Collar]] (gorget, 10%)
* [[Helm of Vengeance]] (headgear, 7%)
* [[Hunter's Headdress]] (headgear, 15%)
* [[Knight's Armor Set]] (armor set, 10%)
* [[Leggings of Bane]] (legs, 20%)
* [[Mana Phasing Orb]] (talisman, 5%)
* [[Oblivion's Needle]] (dagger, 20%)
* [[Orc Chieftain Helm]] (headgear, 30%)
* [[Paladin Armor Set]] (armor set, 30%)
* [[Scout Armor Set]] (armor set, 10%)
* [[Sign of Chaos]] (shield, 5%)
* [[Sign of Order]] (shield, 5%)
* [[Spirit of the Totem]] (headgear, 15%)
* [[Surge Shield]] (shield, 5%)
* [[Void Infused Kilt]] (gargish kilt, 5%)
* [[Zyronic Claw]] (executioner's axe, 30%)

== Hit Chance Increase on Shields==
HCI used to occur on non-artifact [[shield]]s, but that is no longer the case. For this reason, the price for such shields is relatively high.

In a discussion of HCI on shields in the [[Five on Friday]] (FoF) of [[Five_on_Friday_-_November_3%2C_2006|November 3, 2006]] (Number 35), developer [[MrTact]] said, "Unless someone gives me a good reason why that property was removed from shields, I see no reason not to put it back." However, the FoF continued by noting that the [[Game Developers|developers]] believe that the way HCI and Hit Lower Attack are implemented needs to be rebalanced. Therefore, the FoF concludes, HCI will not be added back to shields until such balance issues are addressed.

==Imbuing==
The following resources are required to [[Imbuing|imbue]] the highest intensity of Hit Chance Increase (15%):
*5 [[Relic Fragment]]
*10 [[Gem|Amber]]
*10 [[Essence of Precision]]

==See Also==
* [[Doom Kiss]]
* [[Magic Fish Buff]]
* [[Perfection]]

== total vs each piece ==

Mana Regeneration 2
Defense Chance Increase 10%
Lower Mana Cost 5% "

Don't believe this is correct.
It shows a total of 16 mana regen, defence chance way above max and lower mana at 40%.
The word 'total' is not next to these numbers so they are on each piece.
:I'll check again but I think the values are correct. The ones having the plus sign (+) near them are the ones stacking with the default set bonuses. The others are total bonuses. The main limitation of this set is its low mr and lmc, it'd be the ultimate suit with 100% lrc, 40% lmc, 40% dci and 16 mr. [[User:Nimuaq|Nimuaq]] 14:30, 19 January 2011 (PST)

Bank Box

2010-12-18T21:27:14Z

OxAO: /* Using */

{{tocright}}
The '''Bank Box''' is a place of storage that every character has access to from the moment they are created. It is the only means of storage which is considered 100% safe.

==Accessing==
To open your bank box you must first visit a bank. Most cities have one, usually found in a central location. Once there you need to find a banker. A common mistake of new players is thinking that the bank itself determines whether you can open your box. It is actually the banker or minter you must be standing in range of.

When you are close enough to a banker or minter NPC, say "bank" to open your box. You can also open it by using a context menu on the NPC. The context menu method won't reveal you if you are already hidden.

==Using==
The bank box has a limit of 125 on items (150 if you have purchased the account storage expansion upgrade or 175 with the high seas booster and the account storage expansion upgrade). Every item placed inside counts towards this limit including containers, gold and checks.

If you are short on space combining multiple piles of gold into one check can help free some up.

==History==
At one point in early UO history bank boxes also had a weight limit of 400. Gold did not count towards this limit.

Over the years [[Houses]] went from a completely unreliable method of storage to being almost as secure as the bank is. If you don't access anyone to your house and keep everything in owner secure containers it basically is. However the contents of your bank will stay with you indefinitely when your account is deactivated, a house will decay in 90 days.

==Notes==

*Drops [[Medusa Statue]] and [[Medusa Blood]] (base ingredient for [[Elixir of Rebirth]]). Players can receive minor [[Gargoyle Artifacts]] and major [[Gargoyle Artifacts]] (like [[Slither]]) in their backpacks when '''Medusa''' is killed.
*Blue [[Medusa Scales]] can be snatched from Medusa by using a blade on her (up to 5 times yielding 2-3 scales), although this will aggravate her. Skinning her corpse will normally yield 5 greyish-blue scales. On rare occasions 5 "normal" blue scales can be cut from her corpse making the theoretical maximal yield of blue scales 20. The greyish-blue scales make for less effective [[Gorgon Lens]] than the blue scales.
*It is advisable to avoid wearing [[Undead Slayer]] items as this will double Medusa's melee damage. From October 2010 on Medusa was buffed resulting in her using magical skills much more effectively.

==Town Hall Video==
<video type="youtube" id="q4OqePprQ8Y" desc="Town Hall Adventures on the High Seas Demo"/>
EA Mythic Lead Engineer Derek Brinkmann demonstrates the new ships (equipped with cannons that actually inflict damage) and goes off to attack some Orcs at Sea. A Major Feature that should be noted is the Navigation/Command System! Do Not Miss It! No more commands to the Tillerman! Ships will be "MOUSE" driven!

Though the video is of marginal quality, due to the EA video stream provided... it does provide a major glimpse of what is ahead on the Sosarian High Seas.

==Overview==
The use of '''cannons''' on ships are introduced with the [[High Seas]] booster. Different types of [[Galleon]]s may mount various numbers of cannon. Cannon may be dismantled and removed from a ship.

==Crafting==
There are two types of cannons that can be crafted by [[Blacksmithy|Blacksmiths]]:
* [[Image:Light_ship_cannon.png]] [[Light Ship Cannon]] with 65.0 [[Blacksmithy]] and 65.0 [[Carpentry]]
* [[Image:Heavy_ship_cannon.png]] [[Heavy Ship Cannon]] with 70.0 Blacksmithy and 70.0 Carpentry

===Unknown===

''Unknown type of cannon, please enter source/description''

==Ammunition==
There are two types of cannon ammunition, also crafted by [[Blacksmithy|Blacksmiths]], for each cannon type:
{| class="uoguidetable"
! Light Ship Cannon
! Heavy Ship Cannon
|-
| [[Light Cannonball]]
| [[Heavy Cannonball]]
|-
| [[Light Grapeshot]]
| [[Heavy Grapeshot]]
|}

Cannon ammunition is crafted by [[Blacksmithy|Blacksmiths]]. Cannons can only be loaded with one ammunition type at a time. They can be dismantled from the ship.

==Operation==

'''Placing Cannons'''{{Line Break}}
In order to place a cannon on a [[Ship]] you need to look for a yellow, bullet shaped outline on the side or near the front of the [[Ship]].{{Line Break}} Double click your cannon [[deed]] and then target the yellow bullet region and if you are close enough to the region a cannon will be placed.

'''Using Cannons'''{{Line Break}}
Once you have your cannons placed on your [[Ship]], you can use them by one of two methods: By [[context menu]] or by double clicking the cannon itself. {{Line Break}}If you use the [[context menu]] you can do things somewhat faster, where double clicking on a cannon gives you a pop-up menu, which might be better for a dedicated cannon worker. Also, if you hover over a cannon, a [[Tooltip]] will inform you on its status.

There are four main actions for each cannon on your ship: {{Line Break}}'''1.Clean, 2.Charge, 3.Load, and 4.Prime'''.{{Line Break}} Each action must be completed in order.

===1.CLEAN===
Required after use. Clean the Cannon with a [[Swab]].

Dabbling on the Dark Side

2010-04-06T05:36:19Z

OxAO:

{{tocright}}
This quest is a [[Tier Quests|Tier 1]] quest given by [[Zosilem the Alchemist]] who can be found in the Royal City of Ter Mur.{{Line Break}}
Do Thepem quest Tier 1 before you do this – which has no requirements.{{Line Break}}
To get the piles of inspected ingots hand him twenty ingots of that color.

==Quest Description==

''Who dares disturb me? Ah, yes, I know who you are. Thepem has told me that you do a great deal of business with us, and are to be trusted with some of our more, shall we say... exotic... mixtures. So, let's get down to business, shall we?''

''[[Tasty Treat|Tasty treats]] are the weakest of our pet enhancing mixtures, but through much experimenting, I have discovered that more powerful aids can be created. However, the collection of these ingredients is not exactly healthy for one's karma. You see, in order to create a batch of deliciously tasty treats, sure to inspire your pet beyond what it is normally capable of, I will need you to bring me five [[Boura Skin|boura skin]], five [[Fairy Dragon Wing|fairy dragon wings]] and some [[Dough|dough]]. Hmm... no, make that ten [[Fairy Dragon Wing|fairy dragon wings]], as I believe that to be a fair price for my time and knowledge.''

==Quest Objective==
* Obtain 5 [[Boura Skin]]
* Obtain 10 [[Fairy Dragon Wing]]s
* Obtain 1 [[Dough]]

==Quest Lore==
[[Fairy Dragon Wing]]s can be obtained from the [[Fairy Dragon]]s in [[Stygian Dragon Lair Entrance Mini-Champ]] inside the [[Stygian Abyss Dungeon]]. [[Boura Skin]]s can be obtained from the [[Lowland Boura]]s, [[Ruddy Boura]]s and [[High Plains Boura]]s as a loot in overland [[Ter Mur]]. It will be wise to do this quest together with [[Boura, Boura, and more Boura]] quest considering the large amount of Bouras you need to kill to obtain all of the [[Boura Skin]]s. [[Dough]] can be created by using the [[Cooking]] skill.

''You have returned, and from the bulge in your pack, I see that you have something for me. Hand it over, and I will give you a batch of deliciously tasty treats in return. Return in a bit if you wish to do business with me again.''

==Reward==
* 2 [[Deliciously Tasty Treat]]

==See Also==
* [[The Brainy Alchemist]]
