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.


Overview Page

  • The first page of the Taming Bestiary is the overview page.
  • On the overview page players can see their progress towards unlocking upgrade points, and how much their of upgrade points they've spent within each class.
  • 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.
  • At the bottom of the Taming Bestiary are buttons to navigate to the individual pages for each Class type
  • The number below each Class Icon lists how many creatures the player is currently controlling that belongs to that Class


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


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 3 Points respectively (i.e. Tier 3 costs 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 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
