Editing Taming (section)

== XP from the whole stable ==

[[Taming]] XP no longer comes from taming alone. Raising and using your creatures now feeds the skill:

* '''Breeding''' a clutch pays the species' full tame XP.
* '''Imprint care''' and '''graduation''' each pay half — a full imprint cycle is worth about 3× a tame.
* '''[[Dispatch]] missions''' and '''veteran level-ups''' both grant Taming XP.

Even so, Taming remains the longest grind in the game: a fresh skill runs roughly '''420–490 hours''' to level 99. The rework added three new species — '''[[Moschops]]''' (Taming 25), '''[[Basilosaurus]]''' (93) and '''[[Yutyrannus]]''' (99) — plus thirteen repeatable '''Train''' drills (below).

=== Train drills ===

'''Train''' actions are repeatable Taming actions that put a stabled creature through its paces. They cost '''[[Cooking|cooked food]] only''' — no tranquilizer, no [[Bank]] stall, and they produce no item — and they exist to turn a stocked larder into Taming XP. From Taming 45 up they are the backbone of the skill's XP ladder.

Because the food is the only input, the practical ceiling on training is how fast you can [[Fishing|fish]] and [[Cooking|cook]] — Glazed Coelacanth and Sturgeon Feast carry the top half of the ladder.
