Transferring Pets -- fails -- why?
V
refuses to go (saying it won't obey me).
What skill raises the chance of transfer? Is it taming, or animal lore?
Thanks!

It's the the Animal Transfer skill. See, tamers were too powerful, so the
skill requirements have gradually been increased... You'll now need
Veterinary in addition to Animal Lore, Taming, Transfering, Petting and
Bathing. And you'll need one of those little clicker deals.

Taming, even this pedantic form of it, has been broken, quite deliberately.
Somehow they decided that inability to transfer even a store-bought horse would
be a good idea. However, they say that next patch this good idea will be
Fixed. Go figger.
In order for my master tamer (who has dragons and can participate in oder/chaos
wars *nudge* *nudge* ) to transfer a horse requires that the Recipient have
Taming and Animal Lore. With 30 in each, I had to try about 5 times in order to
succeed.
What that means is, if the character you want to have a horse not a tamer with
at least 60 in taming skills, you will have to buy a horse yourself.
Great work, dev team.

You can "transfer" horses by making the person a friend. Then
they can ride it. They don't technically own it, so if they get pulled
over, you'll still get the speeding ticket. But....

Doesn't work either, both commands have been nerfed for unknown
reasons. Damned annoying, especially since animals that go wild once
seem to be useless forever after...if you tame them they will
immediately go wild again.

It could have been because they wanted to eliminate several bu.. er features
with taming. For instance, I have tried the "all transfer" logout/in with
the character you want to have the horse and it no longer works.
Or it could be part of the promised blacksmithing patch got really scewed
up, I am betting this is what really happened.
At any rate, they wanted all tame animals to be at the lowest loyalty level
when they are first tamed, that part turned out right in their minds. If you
give any order other then "All guard me" the pet pretty much goes wild. The
bright side is it saves you a macro, now instead of having to "all release"
when on a taming binge, you just have "all follow me" macroed and it does
the EXACT same thing if you don't feed the new pet first.
This only seems to be a problem with horses! Wolves and everything else
below 50 skill level seem to transfer just fine.
It is a minor problem with major beasts. For instance, anything you tame
that is worth having is attacking you. By the time the aggressor flag has
worn off, the pet can go wild again. You can feed it first if you don't mind
being scratched, then run away for 2 minutes and hope nothing has killed it.

That's odd. I just did it a couple days ago. It was a horse I've
had for a long time, however. Could that make a difference? I'll
try it again tonight with a new one.

There is something to that. My horse went wild, so a friend re-tamed
it for me. She tried to friend or transfer it back to me ... no go. I
even got my taming up to 25 skill and still no luck. But when she tried
to transfer her horse, it wasn't a problem. So the pre-patch tamed
horses seem fine.
The fact that I just mentioned the phrase "pre-patch horses" really
bothers me for some reason.
