In Ultima Online (UO), pet training is a crucial aspect of taming and controlling creatures to serve as companions, guards, or mounts. Heres a comprehensive guide to pet training in UO: Taming & Lore Basics Taming Skill: Required to control creatures (higher skill = stronger pets). Animal Lore: Helps assess stats, control difficulty, and train pets effectively. Veterinary: Heals pets and improves training success. Tip: Use skill gain methods (e.g., taming low-level creatures like bulls or horses) to raise Taming/Lore before tackling stronger pets. Pet Control & Commands "All Follow Me": Commands all pets to follow. "All Stay": Orders pets to hold position. "All Guard Me": Pets attack threats near you. "All Kill [Target]": Directs pets to attack a specific target. "All Stop": Cancels current actions. Note: Some pets (e.g., dragons, cu sidhes) require higher taming/lore to control reliably. Training Pets (Stat & Skill Gains) Pets gain stats/skills through combat or targeted training: Combat Training: Fight weak creatures (e.g., sheep, rabbits) to safely boost skills. Stat Gains: Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence increase with activity. Skill Gains: Pets improve skills like Wrestling, Tactics, or Magery based on usage. Best Training Spots: New Players: Farm areas (e.g., sheep near Britain). Advanced: Weak monsters in dungeons (e.g., Covetous for controlled fights). Bonding & Stable Slots Bonding: Spend time with a pet to bond it permanently (prevents loss on death). Stable Pets: Use stablemasters to store extra pets (limited slots per account). Tip: Bonded pets retain stats/skills after death (if resurrected). Popular Pets & Uses Pet Taming Req. Uses Horse 29.1 Fast travel (mount) Giant Beetle 39.2 Pack animal (holds items) Cu Sidhe 98.6 Fast, strong combat pet Dragon 93.9 High-damage fighter Hiryu 98.6 Versatile flying mount Pet Gear & Enhancements Pet Armor: Crafted or looted (e.g., dragon barding). Scrolls of Alacrity: Temporarily boosts pet speed. Veterinary Healing: Keep pets alive in battles. Advanced Tips Pet Respec: Use Animal Training (Publish 16+) to redistribute pet stats/skills. Pet Evolution: Some shards allow pets to evolve (e.g., UO: Age of Shadows). Mastery Abilities: Certain pets (e.g., Chivalry-trained cu sidhes) gain special moves. Common Issues Pet Disobedience: Low taming/lore causes pets to ignore commands. Overpowering: Pets can be "too strong" for your control levelcheck difficulty with Animal Lore. Stable Limit: Plan your pet roster carefully (default: 5 slots per account). For shard-specific mechanics (e.g., UO Outlands, UO Forever), check their wikispet systems may vary. Happy taming!
