Bulls and taming

[spindle]

Could we get the leather quantity of bulls and cows dropped significantly? Being that the only viable way to raise taming is through bulls and people seem to only to be comfortable farming their leather inside(or right next to) the guards and bank.

At first I thought that adding bull spawns would help, but then I realized that there are more people wanting to farm leather in these safe locations than there are locations, this idea quickly got stomped out.

Another option might be to reduce the mintaming on dire wolves to help bridge the gap between bulls and the next step, so that aspiring tamers aren't required to spend their time waiting for bulls to spawn only to have them killed out from under them.

To put things in perspective I've yet to fatigue out my taming since I got to the bull level simply for lack of anything else to tame.

does the bull spawn outside of delucia exist? and the one E of trinsic? have you checked them? (I have not, just offering possible solutions to you)

[Protocide]

the trinsic one does not exist, i checked today. i have not checked del tho.

[Byner]

I wouldn't recommend checking Del since that would be a bannable offense.

all of t2a is closed off,
so no the delucia bulls aren't likely to be there, but maybe in the future

You can GM taming without ever taming a single bull. There is no need to reduce leather lol.

I lol'd.

Yeah I guess thats true, with all the other 71.1 mintaming animals running around, who needs bulls?


edit: also you can get TONS of leather from the HUNDREDS of monsters and animals in the wild, yet people stick to the bulls. why WOULDN'T you reduce their leather drop to encourage players to venture out?

Because no one will want to run for 5 minutes just to bank their 100 leather.
Taming is supposed to be one of the hardest skills, its fine the way it is.

taming is already a hell of a lot more difficult here than on osi back in the day. ice isle spawns are crappy here, and the monsters added in t2a to help fill in the blanks in taming don't exist here.

so anything that can be done to ease the pain of tamers here, i'd support. mind you, i don't have one myself... i couldn't fathom even trying with how hard it is here to get one to GM.

Bullfrogs were added to the swamp recently.

Can we at least get a real bull spawn somewhere or confirmation that one even exist like the multiple that do in the original game.

Hey!! lets nerf leather cause someone is killing my taming spawns.. gawd..

OP... have YOU actually gone further than 3-4 screens away from any guard zone? I seriously doubt it considering your post..

East of Brit along the way to the desert, swamp and x roads, there are SOOOO many animals and monster spawns untouched. Its a tailors and tamers wet dream there. Hell the amount of spawn there could accommodate 100's of tamers and tailors.

Why not try out somewhere else on the map instead of asking for some ridiculous change to loot table to suit your lazy and selfish needs..
