Taming Bestiary

Summary

• The Taming Bestiary is an item which lets tamers earn experience to unlock various upgrades which apply to creatures of the various tamed classes.
• The Taming Bestiary is crafted by players using the Inscription skill and is Blessed

Earning Experience

• Players require a minimum of 80 Animal Taming and Animal Lore skill in order to earn experience toward their Taming Bestiary.
• Players earn experience towards their Taming Bestiary by killing creatures while using tamed creatures.
• Players can use any type of tamed creatures in order to earn taming bestiary experience.
• While experience gains are not tied to creature-based damage, they will be scaled based on how many slots of tamed creatures the player is using (i.e. players should utilize all 5 of their control slots in order to maximize their experience gain).

Upgrade Points

• When players reach enough experience earned, they will unlock an "upgrade point" they can use to spend in the taming bestiary for all the classes.
• Players can earn up to 20 upgrade points for their taming bestiary.
• Each upgrade point earned raises the amount of upgrade points spendable for each class (attack, utility, tank).
• Each class has their own pool of points to spend that does not count against the other classes points spent.

Cross-Class Upgrades

When selecting upgrades for each Class (Attack / Utility / Tank) in the Taming Bestiary, players now can optionally spend up to 5 of their Points on upgrades coming from other classes, which become referred to as [Cross-Class] upgrades selections

• For example, in a player's Attack Class selections, they could take the "Critical Care" upgrade from the Utility class, which would become a [Cross-Class] upgrade for them
• [Cross-Class] selections are entirely optional, and will count towards the player's normal "Points Spent" limit of 20 points
• Normal class upgrades will appear in light green text if unselected and green text if selected
• [Cross Class] upgrades will appear in grey text if unselected and in orange text if selected

Class Pages

• Each Class has their own individual Page in the Taming Bestiary and their own collection of Upgrades
• Players can click the corresponding button at the bottom of the Taming Bestiary to navigate to that Class page
• If the player currently has any Tamed Creatures under their control, the Names and Slot Counts of each creature they control will be displayed under their respective Class in green text.

Class Upgrades

• Each Class has their own set of Upgrades that only apply to the player's Tamed Creatures of that Class type (i.e. Attack Upgrades will not apply to Utility Class creatures)
• Each Class also has their own set of Upgrade Points to spend that do not count against the points spent in other classes
• There are 3 Tier Levels possible for each Upgrade
• The Point Costs to increase Tier Levels of Upgrades are 1 Point, 2 Points, and 2 Points respectively (i.e. Tier 3 costs 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 Points total spent)
• Players can Reset all their Points Spent for a class, once every 5 minutes, by clicking the "Reset Points" button
• Players can click the Info button next to each upgrade to view a description of it, and see what bonuses it provides at (Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3)

Class Upgrade Effects

• The bonuses from Upgrades will only ever apply in PvM (will never apply in PvP)
• By default, the bonuses of Upgrades will only apply to creature's belonging to that Class type (i.e Attack Class bonuses only apply to Attack Class creatures)
• Note: The are a few exceptions where certain Upgrades will explicitly mention that the bonus will apply to tamed creatures of other class types or even the potentially Tamer player themself
