Gem 2 Posted October 15, 2019 OK, so I'm struggling to get any hold, like any at all. I can't beat the army of the damned, so I read a bear would be the best way? I then decided to try and tame a bear. I built a taming pen, managed to get a bear in, boaled it and then every time I had to rebola it, it went straight back to 0% tamed. Basically, help me please, any advice on taming or getting gold would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted October 15, 2019 Not sure on that one! If you leave it too long between feeds the taming bar does slowly drop back to 0% If thats not the case, it sounds like a bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 2 Posted October 15, 2019 No it wasn't and I'm right in thinking that I would need to bola every 90 seconds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted October 15, 2019 Yep, creatures escape bola's after 100 seconds or so. There is a timer you can see above the creatures name plate, sometimes hard to see as you are generaly looking downwards when taming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 2 Posted October 15, 2019 So in that case how many Bolas would you need for a bear, roughly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Well! that'll depend on a few factors, level of bear - the higher the level the less %age you get per feed. Food used - the better the food, the more %age you get per feed. (honey - best, vegtables - good, wild vegtables - poor, berries - v/poor) for good food on a high level bear, expect about 10-12 bola's Edited October 15, 2019 by Jack Shandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salty Del 117 Posted October 15, 2019 That also depends on your taming proficiency. With the current x2 taming rate, full 45% profiency from talents, and the 30% bonus from killing a monstrous sperm whale, we can get most tames within about 6 bolas. Bears, I think, are 3 or 4. With no boosts, expect double that amount. Bears preferred taming food is honey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hurricane moon 24 Posted October 15, 2019 x2 at the mo im taming bears with 4-6 bolas... honey is your friend.... you are feeding it i take it mate? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted October 15, 2019 True, I did however make the presumption that GEM is new to the game (6 posts), and probably does not have the full 45% efficiency or the sperm whale quest bonus. 2x taming was ment to end yesturday so didn't consider that also. If thats still on I've some taming to do when i get home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realist 504 Posted October 15, 2019 There is an app on the apple store that is free called A-calc. Not sure if it is on android or not. it is pretty accurate and basically like the Dododex ark has but this is for atlas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daxit 0 Posted October 16, 2019 easiest way is use large signs to trap it , make a half moon first , shoot it with arrows and bait it into it. once you bola and give it the first feed , use the other signs to close it in. approach it from the back/side to feed. helps to have at least one bed next to where your taming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
