The taming rates in this game are abysmal at best. After 2 days of attempting to tame I got a grand total of 2 wolves. Just spent the past 2 hours slaughtering elephants with whistles and not a single one was even tameable. What's the point of even having a taming mechanic in the game if you're going to make the rates so low? Please buff taming!
External link →The biggest problem with taming is that we know so little about it. In my experience, the higher your damage output, the faster you tame. I kill as many animals as possible, as quickly as possible. I don't even stop to loot. Just speed slaughter. On an average day I get at least 5 tames per hour https://youtu.be/D9W59Jh9VUo
Thx, there's some good info in that video. I wasn't aware that the animals became immune to damage when they became tameable. First taming chance I got was a dead wolf on the ground and it wouldn't let me tame because it was already dead. Probably some sort of a bug but that made me think you could accidentally kill them so I've been knocking every animal's health down to around 1/4 before finishing them. I spent 2 hours and 4 whistles on elephants earlier, must have killed around 1,000 easily and not a single one was tameable. You could argue bad RNG but IMO that should never happen and is just ridiculous.
It is ridiculously low. Best we can do atm is know how to at least improve our chances
