Animals

The short version

Put raw meat in a registered Trader Crate, then run /convert 30 to turn it into Tame Tokens.
Stand next to a wolf, bear or zombie dog and run /tame.
It follows you, fights zombies, and never attacks players. /tames lists what you have.

Tame Tokens

Tokens are the pet currency and they are not Knight Caps. They come from one place only: /convert, which turns raw meat into tokens at 1 per meat. /tokens shows your balance.

The meat has to be in a registered Trader Crate, not your backpack. That is a limit of the game rather than a choice: the server is not permitted to take items out of a player's inventory. Stand next to a container and run /registercrate to register one, /mycrates to see the ones you have.

What you can tame

Animal	Cost	Limit	Chance
wolf	25 tokens	2	70%
bear	25 tokens	2	70%
zombie	60 tokens	2	40%
zombie dog	25 tokens	2	70%
AEC boss	400 tokens	1	12%

Taming can fail. The tokens are spent either way - that is the risk, and it is why the rarer tames cost more. A failed attempt does not anger the animal.

Commands

Upgrades

Animal Handler is a real perk in your own Skills window, under Perception next to Animal Tracker. Buy it with ordinary skill points, up to level 5. Every level raises all three bonuses below at once, and it costs no tokens.

Tame Token ranks stack on top of it, for anyone who wants to push further than the perk goes.

Upgrades belong to you, not to one animal - a pet dying never costs you progress, and the next one you tame inherits everything you have bought. Each rank costs more than the last: rank N costs 20 × N tokens, up to rank 5.

Upgrade	Per rank
Savagery	+15% damage
Hardiness	+20% health
Kinship	+5 points of the experience your animals earn

Your animals already hand you 25% of the experience from what they kill, before any Kinship ranks.

The packs

6 animal(s) tamed on this server, between them 3 kill(s) and 2106 health healed.

Owner	Animals	Kills	HP healed

Most dangerous animals

Your own full record, animal by animal, is /petstats in game.

Worth knowing

Your animals never attack players, and other people's animals will not attack you unless the two of you are already fighting.
They vanish when you log out and come back when you log in. You do not lose them.
Look at any tamed animal and the server tells you its name and whose it is.
A mount is still one of your animals - it counts against your limit and /unsaddle brings back the same one.
