There is also a loss of .2 skill points instead of the usual .1. It may therefore be advisable to seek assistance from a fellow player before attempting to access this facility. […]

Skill Details Animal Taming is the skill used for taming animals and tameable monsters. In conjunction with the skill ‘animal lore’ it also determines your level of control over a particular pet. The formula for calculating this control can be found on the animal lore page. Not all animals […]
