Let me start by saying this is not a comprehensive taming guide. There is a very good one at http://uorforum.com/threads/fast-track-guide-to-taming.2165/ This guide covers an area other than Jhelom to train taming by taming bulls and great harts at 71.1 (shown) taming. This is Delucia, to get there either run through the passage or use a rune library. You can reach one rune library from the Trinsic Moongate. *It is very handy to have a character with gm hiding/herding to help collect animals for your tamer.* Areas 1 and 2 are the spawn points for great harts and bulls that this guide will focus on. For spawn 1 you can park your tamer in the open field and lure animals using the herding character. Below is the macro for your tamer to run, it's a modified version of the macro for bulls and great harts used in the Fast track guide. !Loop Assistant.Macros.UseSkillAction|35 Assistant.Macros.WaitForTargetAction|1 Assistant.Macros.TargetTypeAction|True|232 Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:00.6000000 Assistant.Macros.UseSkillAction|35 Assistant.Macros.WaitForTargetAction|1 Assistant.Macros.TargetTypeAction|True|233 Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:00.6000000 Assistant.Macros.UseSkillAction|35 Assistant.Macros.WaitForTargetAction|1 Assistant.Macros.TargetTypeAction|True|234 Assistant.Macros.PauseAction|00:00:00.6000000 For spawn area 2, use your herder to bring animals to the north side of the Gate (line 3) then bring your tamer out to them. *You can also set up a macro for your herder that will target bulls and great harts and then target you* To create respawns, you tame the creatures in area 1, rename them, and release them at point 4. (The purpose of this is to keep them on the north side of the Gate, once they are released. If they do not wander back to their original spawn, they will begin to respawn) For animals that spawned in area 2, release them at point 5 after renaming. The point of renaming is to help other tamers keep track of retames. Retames help you continue to gain as you level up you taming. If you follow this method of taming and releasing animals, you will have a constant supply of fresh tames. Also there will be a good chance for you to find retames if there are other tamers around.
I will vouch that this does work. A few days ago, I was looking for something to kill my tamed bulls from area 2, just like the Jhelom bulls method, but was unable to find anything. I just released the bulls in town and when I went back to area 2 all the bulls had respawned. I tried it again and again and before I knew it I had over 100 bulls and great harts inside the town gates. I then tried the bulls inside of town and released them outside of town limits. This also seemed to work wonderfully. I think that by bringing the bulls that are in town limits and releasing them outside of Delucia guard zone and then bringing the bulls outside of town limits into Delucia guard zone; it seems to trick the system into thinking that the bulls need to respawn. I had literally well over a 200 bulls and great harts inside of Delucia by the time I was done. I started to show other people to help them out with retames. This method actually takes a person actively taming and bringing the bulls to set areas, but the potential skill gains for a group of tamers retaming will be amazing. This method will and should help all tamers in UOR obtain GM status fast. Thank you Roguish for the guide, I was planning on doing it soon, but you did a fabulous job!!!
This actually does work really well. It should be noted that the bulls will respawn regardless of whether you change the guard zone that they're in or not, but I've seen method in action and it seems to increase the respawn rate.
How long can one expect this to take, considering if they did everything manually and attended, with the help of no other toons to herd etc...?
With a macro and a bull you can gm herding in under an hour. You can use this method without a herding character but it will be significantly slower.
Are you using the same method that's listed in this post? If not, i'd love to hear how you're GMing that fast, as i have atleast 1 alt that would take advantage of this.
For herding? It's zero delay skill. If you start a new character with 50 skill, you can start working on bulls right away and they will take you to gm. Just trap one in a stall at a stable somewhere and herd on it.
