Title: Grinding v Skill Ball Taming

I know this is opinion based but I as a new player do you think you would grind out GM Taming or save up for a Skill Ball?

Ugh, taming. It is much better here than OSI, as you get gains for failing a lot of the time, but it is still a ballache. I watched about 6 movies one day, UO on one side of my screen, windows media player on the other. I think if you are going to grind it you should really find something to keep you busy while you're at it.

Good luck, whatever you decide.

Thanks for your response! I grinded for GM Taming back when T2A came out and I remember it being torture! I can already tell this will be easier but I have been spoiled by how easy it is to GM everything else I guess. Wish I had known what I do now when I started and definitely would have used that original 75 skill ball for Taming. Oh well, this will make me appreciate it more!

I made exactly the same mistake as you, taming should automatically come at 75 as it is such a pain in the ass. It is much easier here than on an OSI shard though. Good luck :)
