== v0.55.12 — A Tool For The Taming Skill ==
* TESTER REQUEST — Macenzie: "I know we get tools for different skills like gathering, mining, etc to increase speed. What do you think of a something for taming." THE BOLA IS NOW ON THE TAMING PAGE, and it is a full sixth-rank ladder, not a token.
* THREE WEIGHTED CORDS, SIX RANKS. Flint → Bronze → Iron → Silver → Obsidian → Starfall, gated at [[Taming]] 10 / 25 / 45 / 65 / 82 / 94 — the same rungs the Sickle, Axe, Pick and Rod climb. Each rank takes 4% off every taming timer, so a Starfall Bola in hand is 24% faster taming, forever.
* '''It costs what a pick costs.''' 2,000 amber for the first rank up to 1,360,000 for the last, 2,042,000 for the full ladder — no taming discount and no taming premium. A bola is weights on a cord, so the bill is the same mineral core the other tools pay plus the cord that ties it: rope at the first two ranks, braided heavy rope at the Silver rank, and two Primal Sinew for the Starfall.
* '''It stacks with kibble.''' The tool cut lands OUTSIDE the capped speed stacks, exactly like every other tool rank, so it multiplies with kibble mode's 15% instead of being swallowed by a ceiling. Best case on the deepest tames — a Starfall Bola and a full kibble bowl — is a little over a third off the clock.
* '''The speed breakdown shows it.''' Open any taming card's timer and the Bola has its own labelled row, reading the same number the engine applies. Nothing about tame chance, stats or levels moved — this is the clock, and only the clock.
