Okay, so I'm essentially a new player (used to play years ago, but the system wouldn't let me get my account back, so I had to start a new one), and I've been trying to tame a Lunatic pet. Is it normal to have six failures (out of six attempts)? I'm getting kinda sick of wandering one map, killing rabbits, and not getting to play the rest of the game... >.<

On the plus side, I've gained about 15 levels from all the rabbits, I guess...

Bring a wizard and use the "sense" skill. Bring the pet down to 1-2hp before you try to tame it. Or completely unequip yourself - you'll do the same amount of damage each punch. and turn off auto attack too.

ps. which server?

Try to hit it with a low level character and reduce it's HP ( Like if you were about to catch a pokemon )
Low level monsters are kinda easy to tame, you were either having bad luck or something but it's normal.
I remember trying to tame an Isis, wasted 20 tames and didn't get any =P

If you are on valkyrie server, I can give you enough tames so you have lots of chances to fail. The taming chance increases a la pokemon: lower the target HP, inflict bad status to it increases the tamming chances.

Taming stuff is hit or miss. I've caught an Alice before, one tame and not smacking it. I used almost all my tames on an Imp once (that I got down to low hp first) before it finally caught.

I used 2 tames on Zealotus and caught it (again, low hp). I believe low hp helps but it still depends a lot on luck.

I'm on "Yggdrasil_New_Open", I think it was the one it highlighted by default since it had the lowest population. (I don't even remember what server I was on with my old account, it probably doesn't even exist anymore...)

I did pay for VIP status to increase the drop rate, I'm tempted to go buy some of that gum stuff. ~_~

Did renewal turn the pet system into mini-pokemon?

I don't remember it being this hard to capture pets, I used +30 tames before I caught my spore.

Pet catching has always been like pokemon/ok

Rarer pets like zealotus, or alice have much harder chances to be caught than for example, poring,spore or lunatic.

Lunatic is like 50% chance at low hp. Alice, zealotus, imp is about 2-5%. I've caught everything on 1 tame, and everything on 10 tames +

It's mostly random. Status effects dont alter it, and freezing status in my experience makes it impossible.

It took me about 3 tries to catch a Bongun during that Valentine event thing and on test server I tried to catch a Strangle Hydra about 10 times in a row and failed. Caught it second try the next day. It's just luck.

The HP thing is new to me... I thought this would be only a rumor o.O
But besides that: Don't sit while you're taming!
If you sit down, the taming will fail.
Experienced this with my Knight (endure) and ton's of tamings for Dekobi back than.
Around 50 tames failed - till I stood up and could tame at the regular rate.
