[petname] looks around desperately |
A line-of-sight check failed and the pet's
happiness level just dropped. Currently not active but may be reinstated.
|
[petname] looks somewhat annoyed |
Your pet will show this message when it has
been told to guard you. Each time a creature or player gets too close within a
certain range, this message will show.
|
[petname] seems nervous and irritable |
This message replaced the old "[petname]
seems to have decided it is better off without a master". You can see both
messages if you keep your journal open. When you see this message, the pet has
gone wild and has no loyalty to it's former master.
|
Your pet does not seem to be interested in
making new friends right now |
The attempt at "friending" your pet
to someone failed because your control of your pet is not high enough. Also
used for "invalid" friending targets (for example NPCs).
|
The pet refuses to be transferred because it
will not obey [name] |
The person you tried transferring your pet to
failed the skill check for a successful transfer.
|
The pet refuses to be transferred because it
does not trust you |
You failed the skill check for a successful
transfer of the pet.
|
Your pet refuses to follow that person |
The command to follow the target failed.
|
That wasn't even challenging |
Pretty obvious - there was no challenge in
taming this creature. Either you have tamed it before (in this case you will
always get this message) or it's skill requirement is far below your
current taming level. If you haven't tamed a creature yourself previously, the
occurrance of this message is random, but it will appear more often the higher
your skill is. You will not gain skill from taming the type of creature that
gives you this message. It scrolls off the game screen very quickly, so you
will most likely only see in your open journal.
|
The animal has been distracted and you cannot
continue taming |
You lost line-of-sight of a creature you are
trying to tame. Your taming attempt has been aborted.
|
The animal is too angry to continue taming |
The creature received damage of some sort and
your taming attempt was disrupted.
|
This animal has had too many owners and is too
upset for you to tame |
The taming difficulty of a previously tamed
pet exceeds your current skill level or it has already had 5 owners and can not
be tamed again.
|
You seem to anger the beast |
This message informs you of a failed taming
attempt. It's an added step of difficulty in taming a high-level creature and
appears randomly before you can actually start a taming attempt. Examples are
dragons, white wyrms, nightmares, swamp dragons and fire steeds.
|
You must subdue this creature before you can tame it |
You get this message when you are trying to tame a creature that requires subjugation (currently the giant beetle and giant ice worm) before it has been "beaten into subjugation". (see below)
|
The creature has been beaten into subjugation |
The creature that requires subjugation (currently the giant beetle and giant ice worm) has been beaten to near-death and you can now attempt taming it.
|
You have no chance of taming this creature |
You don't have the minimum skill required to
attempt taming this creature.
|
You can't tame that |
This creature is not tamable.
|
You cannot tame player creatures |
This (usually tamable) creature belongs to a
dynamic spawn and is not tamable.
|
That creature can only be tamed by males/females
|
Pretty straightforward: you are of the wrong
gender and can not tame this creature.
|
Your pet has bonded with you |
Your pet has the special status now which
allows it to recall with you and to be resurrected.
|
The spirits of the dead are not the province of
animal lore |
This message appears when you attempt to use
animal lore on a pet ghost.
