'''Taming''' is the flagship [[Skills|skill]] of Primal Idle — the art of capturing wild prehistoric [[Creatures]] and bringing them home to your [[Stable]]. Every companion, expedition party member, and breeding parent starts as a wild creature you tamed. Taming levels also unlock [[Breeding]] (level 50) and ~~additional~~ expedition party ~~slots~~.

'''Taming''' is the flagship [[Skills|skill]] of Primal Idle — the art of capturing wild prehistoric [[Creatures]] and bringing them home to your [[Stable]]. Every companion, expedition party member, and breeding parent starts as a wild creature you tamed. Taming levels also unlock [[Breeding]] (level 50) and the [[Expeditions|expedition party]] — one slot from level 10, growing by one every 20 levels to a cap of five by level 80.

== How taming works ==

Line 7:

Each taming attempt requires:

* '''Taming level''' — every species has a level requirement, from 1 (Glyptodon) up to 95 (~~Giganotosaurus~~). Higher-level creatures unlock as you gain Taming XP.

* '''Taming level''' — every species has a level requirement, from 1 ([[Glyptodon]]) up to 99 ([[Yutyrannus]]). Higher-level creatures unlock as you gain Taming XP.

* '''A base timer''' — the time one attempt takes, from about 1 minute for the easiest tames up to 10 minutes for the hardest. Timers can be shortened by Taming '''speed''' companions ([[Titanoboa]] +10%, [[Hatzegopteryx]] +20%).

* '''A base timer''' — the time one attempt takes, from about 1 minute for the easiest tames up to 11 minutes for the hardest. Timers can be shortened by Taming '''speed''' companions ([[Titanoboa]] +10%, [[Hatzegopteryx]] +20%, [[Yutyrannus]] +25%).

* '''Food''' — a stack of a specific cooked or gathered food the creature will accept (for example Crimson Berries, Roasted Meat, or a Sturgeon Feast). Stronger creatures want more, and better, food.

* '''A tranquilizer''' — a calming item to subdue the creature. There are three tiers of increasing potency:

Line 15:

** '''Potent Tranquilizer''' — for the toughest, high-level creatures.

You earn Taming XP each time an attempt completes. XP awards scale up with the difficulty of the creature, from 25 XP for a Glyptodon to ~~nearly 1~~,~~000~~ XP for a ~~Giganotosaurus~~.

You earn Taming XP each time an attempt completes. XP awards scale up with the difficulty of the creature, from 33 XP for a Glyptodon to 6,417 XP for a Yutyrannus.

== Taming tips ==

* Tame a '''Taming-speed companion''' early ([[Titanoboa]], then [[Hatzegopteryx]]) to speed up every subsequent tame.

* Tame a '''Taming-speed companion''' early ([[Titanoboa]], then [[Hatzegopteryx]]) to speed up every subsequent tame — [[Yutyrannus]] (Taming 99) is the strongest of the three once you can field it.

* Because stats roll randomly, tame extras of key species and keep the best individual to breed from.

* Batch-prepare tranquilizers and food — high-level tames burn through multiple Potent Tranquilizers per attempt.

Line 48:

== Kibble and premium tames ==

'''Kibble''' is premium taming food. ~~Stabled~~ creatures lay '''eggs''' passively (see [[Breeding#Passive egg-laying|Breeding]]); those eggs are cooked into six tiers of kibble — Plain, Savory, Hearty, Rich, Pristine and Primal — each matched to a tame-level band. Feeding a tame its matching kibble makes the attempt faster and the result better: stronger starting stats, more [[Taming]] XP, and a shorter tame. It is the food behind perfect-quality tames.

'''Kibble''' is premium taming food.

Line 58:

* '''[[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).
