Changes to taming

Animal Lore is not used for anything on Regisfall. As of 2025/05/16 it has been effectively disabled. It is not required for Taming/Veterinary.

Although the animal lore skill is mechanically disabled and does not raise, it will raise taming if you use it on creatures and makes training your skill easier. Our goal here was to make the skill less grindy so that a larger number of players wouldn't be pursuing a potentially small number of animals in the name of gaining skill or leaving players feeling like they need to expend perk points in order to raise their character's skills.

Unlike traditional UO, stable masters do not sell mounts. These have to be acquired from a player.

Animal Taming requirement still exists, you should NOT trade more advanced pets (more than mounts/pack animals) with classes that do not have taming.

Animal commands such as all follow me, all kill etc. are filtered and will not appear in game when typed/spoken."

Issuing commands to tamed creatures/companions will also passively raise your animal taming.

The list below is not exhaustive. Standard creatures such as wolves, dire wolves, birds, dogs, cats, bears, etc. are tamable for atmosphere or to help with your roleplay.

Creature	Required Taming	Type	Race (if ridable)	Special
Horse	60	Mount	Non-Orc	Can have a saddle bag and supports barding armor
Stallion	90	Mount	Non-Orc	Can have a saddle bag and supports barding armor
Mustang	90	Mount	Non-Orc	Can have a saddle bag and supports barding armor
Giant Bear	95	Mount	Any	Can have a saddle bag
Llama	60	Mount	Non-Orc	Can have a saddle bag
Forest Ostard	29.1	Mount	Non-Orc	Can have a saddle bag
Desert Ostard	29.1	Mount	Non-Orc	Can have a saddle bag
Frenzied Ostard	77.1	Mount	Non-Orc	Can have a saddle bag
Ridgeback	83.1	Mount	Any	Can have a saddle bag
Swamp Dragon	100	Mount	Any	Can have a saddle bag
Warg	60	Mount	Orc	Can have a saddle bag
White Dire Wolf	100	Mount	Any	Can have a saddle bag
Pack llama	11.1	Pack Animal	Any	High carrying capacity
Pack horse	11.1	Pack Animal	Any	High carrying capacity
Young Drake	78.3	Combat	Any	None
Drake	90	Combat	Any	None
Ironpelt Grzzly	90	Combat/Tank	Any	Chance to absorb incoming damage
Shadow Mauler	90	Combat/DPS	Any	Chance to cause bleed on hit
Deepwater Snapjaw	90	Combat/CC	Any	Chance to stun on hit
Tundra Stalker	90	Combat/Utility	Any	Chance to reveal hidden enemies (within 5 tiles)

Your pets do NOT log off with you. They need to be stabled or hitched to a hitching post before you log off or they may go wild.

Creatures will not bond using the traditional stable command. The player needs to use the 'bond' command to bond a creature at a stable master. They can also be bonded by feeding the creature, which begins the bonding process. After a real week, they can bond with you when fed again, provided you have sufficient taming/lore to bond a creature. (mounts require none)

Pets go into stable tickets that can be sold on vendors, or traded. Bond status, and things like saddle bags will transfer across a stable ticket.

If your bonded pet dies, certain classes can assist you in reviving your pet. Alternatively you can pay a fee at a stablemaster.
