    I macrot on a boat for hours on a low skill of shown 55.8 and real 45.9

    I think there exists a bug so you can try to tame an animal where you have a 0% success chance.
    With 0% success chance there also seems a 0% skill gain chance.

    I pulled some once tamed snow leopoards (minimum skill 53,1) and started the taming macro.
    I think the minimum skill on once tamed snow leopards should be above 55,8! I ran the macro on hours while i fel asleep.
    I was not able to tame any of the 3 once tamed snow leopards on all the time.
    And i gained ZERO skill :(

    Sounds like it's working to me - if you have zero percent chance to tame you should get zero skill gain. I believe it's based on your real skill, not your shown skill....

    You shouldnot be able to "try to tame" an animal with 0 % skill chance. But the taming context definitivly came and the "you fail to tame the creature" message.
    THIS is the bug i think.
    I believed i could gain because i was able to try. After hours on low skill level it was clear there will never come a gain ;)
    Actually following a non ever tamed snow leopard for 10minutes i see 0.7% skill

    This is caused by people taming and then releasing, thus bumping up the minimum taming requirement by +6.0. It still allows you to attempt to tame, even if you're under the minimum base skill (with 0% chance of taming). I believe this is known by the administration, and is on the fix list.
    Falx and Tay M'real like this.

    In the meantime, run around and commit some snow leopard genocide before you start your taming macro.
