On taming of dragons
colin...@my-dejanews.com
The following creatures will become aggressive:
Ancient wyrms
Dragons
Reapers
Giant silver serpents
Corpsers
Kraken
Swamp tentacles
Aren't dragon difficult enough to tame as it is? I have been
playing as a "druid" for quite a while and I will be ready to
attempt to tame dragons soon. I understood the good thing
about dragons was that they were not as aggressive as drakes.
Does anyone who is a master or GM tamer give me some insight?

I think it would be a good idea for them to put a check in where the
dragon checks your taming skill. Sounds stupid, but if you have a
taming skill in the 90's I think you have enough knowledge on how to
properly approach a dragon.

I see that The White Wyrm isn't on that list. Travel to the new lands and
go to the Ice Dungeon. Tame the Wyrm, he is a much better pet than the old
world dragons. Watch out though not to anger him, he casts 1st-7th circle
spells. It really wasn't aggressive at all until I attacked him. I was
standing there for a good twenty minutes next to it, fighting Frost Spiders.

Actually, not being a tamer, that never really clicked with me. What
did click with me was the fact that after the last patch where Reapers
started casting flamstrike (among others) the ground at their feet was
littered with newbies and mid-level bodies alike. With them now being
aggressive (or soon to be) the stage is set for quite an interesting
sight again...

I don't know anything about that. I'd just like to see someone tame a
reaper.

doesn't matter all that much to tamers.

Seasons don't fear the reaper, nor do the sun or the moon or the rain.
We should be like they are.

them. i.e. blade spirit them until they have just a sliver of life, then
when they lose interest in attacking you, you start running after them
trying to tame them.
Of course, in most areas this means half a dozen other healthy drakes
are running after you spitting fireballs, but I think this is about as
good as it gets.

A couple of brown bears can soak-up most of a reaper's mana. Dang
explosions kill 'em in one hit though. Or is that flamestrike? I
dunno. I'm just glad I'm not a brown bear.

Great, everybody running around with pet dragons and White Wyrms in
the future? Nasty!
I guess some skills are just more rewarding than others. Ah well, back
to roleplaying...

Fair enough, shows what I know about taming.

Actually, you can take them just to the point before where they start
running. By that time they are out of mana, and their fireballs do
minimal damage. But they will stay targetted on you. You just need a
rock nook to keep them from clawing you.

wouldn't go to the Ice Dungeon to try and tame a white wyrm. I have about 80
strength and combat skills in the 90's yet I only have 40ish resist. I was
killed by 2 snow elementals and an ice elemental within 3 minutes of entering.
(And I was with 6 friends too!)
You're just jealous because the Voices only talk to me.

BTW I saw a white dragon thing in the old land, it was tame.

It's amazing how much *easier* things can be when you don't try to do
everything on your own.
I think I'll have a bard with me when I'm ready to tame a Dragon.
Also a couple of people to heal.
