Thread: One Hour, 18 minutes to Tame a Mature Reptillian Flyer, Not a fun Sunday Afternoon
, that is why I decided to stick this one out to the end. Thankfully, the Mature reptillian flyer I "finally" tamed , one hour and 18 minutes later, did contain a special I did not have (self sacrifice lvl 3).. I don't know how to access the log and doubt if its size would allow posting anyway.

I am a Wookiee, that is a minus clothing-wise. I did a search for wookiee clothing for the entire Galaxy on Lowca, and as with most supplies nowadays, there were a total of 18 (18) pieces of clothing listed for the whole Galaxy on Lowca. The kwevvu yes no problem, clothing that is another matter 
Mask scent and taming clothes are easily available for humans and like species.

I've never had evena level 70 tame attempt take so long. Rarely--if ever, actually,more than 6 tries--I assume you're using food and clothing?
Is this a consistent problem for you, or a one-off? If it's a one-off, it's relatively meaningless, statistically. Yeah, it sucks when it happens, but it would be like someone being hit by a bolt fallingfrom an airplane complaining that they are somehow being singled out.
No matter how high the odds are against something, given enough time and population samples, it will happen to someone--probably several someones.
I rarely have anything take over 10 tries, but then again I never had it take extremely long even without BE taming clothes. I think my longest tame was a boar wolf on Endor, which took me about 20 minutes with a wookiee MCH with no bonus clothing or food.
i never have trouble taming CL69/70 shear mites (lurking/soldiers/reclusive) - usually on the 1st to 3rd try they are mine. but flyers always test my patience.
Well short and sweet then. I can get the food. If there is anyone who knows a tailor or perhaps an unadvertised Vendor any where on Lowca that can create a hood for a wookie with taming attributes then they have a buyer. There are just no wookie clothes in the entire galaxy with something in the pockets, except for 1 (one) item with +15 range defense . The galaxy is littered with non-functioning / deserted harvesters and closed/empty vendors/buildings, and it is getting worse

Here is a nifty trick to help in tameing.
When you are tameing a creature manually write in command prompts example if your guy says
Steady. You type in quickly Steady. Now some people will tell you this dose not work and I can say it does work atleast from my point of view it seems to make tames faster. Remember when your avatar repeats something 2 or 3 times that means its really close to tameing the critter. I may be wrong but you manually duplicateing seems to trick the system, I havent had a tame go over five minutes in days so go fig.

Wow, you beat my record of about 53 minutes to tame a bull rancor, sadly mine aggroed then de-spawned before I can tame it. I was kinda upset but hey what can I do? lol
Ugggh so sorry to hear this. I, too, have been searching far and wide for a bull baby myself
I've not had the issues of training times like I've seen mentioned on the boards. After reading posts like this (I truly feel for the OP, that's awful!) I am surprised when as a CL57 I have no problems taming a CL65 the first or second try. Are you wearing CH gear? When I'm on Dath, I wear no less than +25 taming, +25 mask scent/camo, use Jawa Beer, and Kwevvu crispies before even attempting to tame. Sorry to hear about your time spent... thankfully you got an ability out of it, tho!
