Taming Crafting

Veterinary Crafting is a specialized crafting system that allows tamers and animal handlers to produce pet-specific potions, dyes, and equipment. The system is governed by the Animal Taming skill as the primary discipline, with secondary requirements drawn from Animal Lore and Veterinary.

Getting Started

The Brush

To open the Taming Crafting menu, you must have a Brush in your backpack and double-click it.

A Brush can be obtained in one of three ways:

  • Tinkering — Craft your own with the Tinkering skill (requires 50 Tinkering).
  • Player Vendors — Brushes are frequently stocked on player-run vendors. Use the [vendorsearch command to locate one for sale.
  • Loot / Drops — Occasionally found through general adventuring.

Skill Requirements

Taming Crafting uses three skills depending on the recipe:

Skill Role
Animal Taming Primary skill — determines whether you can attempt the craft at all.
Animal Lore Secondary skill — required for dyes, hitching posts, leashes, and the Pet Storage Key.
Veterinary Secondary skill — required for all healing, curing, and resurrection potions.

The minimum chance of success on any recipe is 50%, meaning even at the lowest qualifying skill you have a fair chance to succeed.

Crafting Categories

The Brush opens a menu with the following categories:

  • Pet Potions
  • Normal Pet Dyes
  • Unique Pet Dyes
  • Rare Pet Dyes
  • Misc.

Pet Potions

All pet potions require a Bottle as their base container. Spring Water, Petrified Wood, and various reagents are common ingredients. These potions can only be used on pets — they will not affect player characters.

Tips

  • Stock up on Petrified Wood and Spring Water early — they are required across multiple potion recipes.
  • Destroying Angel (used in Pet Resurrection Potion) is the most demanding reagent in the system; gather it whenever you find it.
  • If you plan to dye pets regularly, craft a Pet Dye Tub to consolidate your dye supply instead of carrying individual bottles.
  • The Enhanced Pet Leash and Pet Storage Key require Platinum Ingots and other endgame materials — these are long-term goals rather than starter items.
  • Even at the minimum qualifying skill, you have at least a 50% chance to succeed on any recipe.
