===Taming Success Chance=== | |||
* Players will always have at least a minimum of 5% success chance to Tame a creature if they meet the minimum Taming Skill requirements for the creature. | |||
* When players tame creatures they will receive a bonus to Taming Success chance (scalar) equal to the combined PvM bonus from Accuracy and Damage (Tactics as %) of their equipped Shepherd's Crook or the best Shepherd's Crook in their backpack. For example: | |||
** An Exceedingly Accurate (+20% Accuracy) Shepherd's Crook of Power (+20% Damage) will increase the taming success chance by +40% of normal (i.e. a 50% base success chance becomes 50% * 1.4 = 70% success chance) | |||

* When a player releases a tamed creature, they will no longer be Pacified for 60 minutes, and will now instead be Hindered for 60 minutes until retamed by a player | |||

* Retrieve Lost Followers: Behaves the same as the old mechanic, which is used to pay a fee to retrieve followers that are currently sitting anywhere in the game world and warp the to the player | |||
* Reset Follower Level Selections: Players may click the "Reset Follower Level Selections" button and target one of their tamed creatures to allow them to redo all Stat/Skill and Trait Selections they have previously made with this creature during previous "level-ups" | |||
** Players may use this mechanic as often as they with on their Tamed creatures, so long as they are not in combat | |||
