Here is the basics for taming a pet. The spell "Curb beast" is the spell that you use to tame a combat pet. Not all animals in the game are tameable, but only aninmals are tamable, such as you can not tame humanoid mobs. Some potential tames are more difficult than others. There are a few tricks that you can use to assist in this. First you cant have a pet currently equipped when taming a new pet. Use the spell "Send Beast Away" to dismiss your current pet. If you cast the spell "Shardcrest Snare" before you cast Curb Beast this buys you some time during the taming process where you arent taking damage. Shardcrest Snare is an ice trap that holds a pet still for a time, and if used during a tame it can make things a little easier. Another method is casting "Pitscamp Swiper" before you tame. This is a spell that fears a beast and sends it running around. If you use this before casting Curb beast it also can buy you some time. It helps a bit if this is done in a semi-enclosed area since the pet has the potential to run out of your curb range. These are just a few basic methods of taming a combat pet in WoM.
