Ok so I recently raised taming from 50 to 115 without eating scrolls. I loosely followed Dwayne Wade's guide but I found it has some pretty big "errors". Also don't follow that other guide where the guy tells you that taming in dungeons isn't worth it. That's like the worst possible advice one could give you.
Ok, so first of all, get gm music and gm peace. This can be done overnight completely afk and I don't have to explain how.
Having gm magery and medit helps, too.
****ALL VALUES ARE "REAL" TAMING****
50-80 scorpions in shame. Seriously, don't tame anything else. Tame, release, kill. The respawn is really fast and the taming gains are CRAZY.
80-90 scoprions in shame and great harts/grizzlies (moonglow moongate and a few other spots) and polar bears/walrus in ice island. That other guide said to start doing small hellcat in the low 80s. That's a waste of time. Not enough small hellcats and the gains suck dick. Just tame away at scorpions and hit outdoor animal spawns while you wait for scorpions to respawn. When you reach the high 80s start adding fresh white wolves and fresh bulls.
90-93 this is the only moment where my gains sucked. I still did scorpions for decent gains but i was taming them too fast for them to respawn and i was still getting REALLY BAD gains from lava lizards and small hellcats. Tame everything outdoors, again, buy one of those taming runebooks and just tame everything
93-95 Lava lizards in fire. Finally getting good gains off those. Start also doing some hell hounds. Fire dungeon is full of both those mobs. Also pre tamed bulls and white wolves. Scorpions are unbelievably still good. Got my last gain off a scorpion at 96 or something. Pre tamed scorps are godlike if u can find them.
at 97 i started adding large hellcats while still taming lava lizards and hell hounds. While i was waiting for those to respawn i tamed some pre tamed great harts, grizzlies and bulls getting modest gains.
from 97 to 110 i was still gaining about 1.2 or more every hour (90% of gains came inside dungeon).
From 110 to 115 i was getting 0.8 to 1.0 gains per hour, basically dungeon only. I once tried 45 mins outdoor spawns and only got 0.1 while i was around 112 taming.
Another GREAT tip once you reach 90+ taming: only tame when you can do a 2-3 hour taming session. The gains on this server are really strange (for taming). Sometime I'd close my first hour of taming with 0.6 gains and then I'd literally gain another 0.5 in 10 minutes. I'm not even joking. I once got 0.3 gains in a row on a hellcat around 105 taming.
Just set yourself some goals like "I want to gain 1.0 taming today" instead of saying "I will tame for 1 hour". Because maybe in one hour and 10 minutes you could gain 1.0 while you would've only gained 0.5 if you tamed one hour and quit!!!
TL;DR: It wasn't even half as hard as I imagined. Once i had some free time i basically went from 95 to 110 over two weekends.
The main error in Dwayne Wade's guide (which is still good) was that he started taming small hellcats, lava lizards and hell hounds WAY too soon. And I mean WAY too soon. I guarantee that at 83 you can gain 5x as fast doing scoprions rather than small hellcats and don't even think about taming lava lizards before 90+ if you want good gains.
Unless you're stinking rich it isn't really worth to buy skill scrolls. I had collected 3 i wanted to use but as i saw the gains were so fast even after 110 i just sold them instead.
Don't even think about doing this without peacemaking unless you want to WASTE a lot of time.
