Taming and companion clearance

Before taming#

The creature must be tameable and not already controlled. You need enough free follower slots and sufficient Animal Taming for its minimum requirement. During the attempt, stay within seven tiles and keep sight, line of sight and a clear path to the creature.

Permanent-pet progression requirements#

Player progression is enabled. Qualifying for a stronger pet requires every condition in its row. Clearance means your licensed maximum difficulty; active hours use the progression system’s active-play counter.

Exceptions and control#

Summoned creatures and creatures with a minimum taming skill of 29.1 or less are exempt from the companion progression tier gate. Ordinary eligible pets still require the usual follower space and control checks.

• Animal Taming and Animal Lore both contribute to control chance.
• Low loyalty reduces command reliability.
• The progression gate is checked when taming and when controlling a pet; obtaining a pet does not bypass its qualification rules.
