Would the Ancient Nightmare be tameable by chance?

if it gives bonus fire damage to the rider, one would assume so ;x

What Hobo said... unless you ment: is it found in the wild and can be tamed that way---versus being a donation only tamable?

Correct as is the new creature a tameable pet, instead of it being a donation or auction only pet.

I'm also wondering if this new mare is tameable or a dono pet. It says neither in any of the documentation I have found regarding it.

And how about a relative location?

I would suggest searching areas that have a fire theme. There are a lot of fire areas. If I was Kane, I would not tell anyone that it was or wasn't a wild tamable. Hidden messages are so much fun.  ;D

That is what Kane normally does, and the changes it slightly when we figure it out to keep us guessing ;)

Smh

Not interested than. Not lookin for a walkthru by any means but I do find it daunting to find any good info about the intricacies of this shard. Yes,there is wiki but it stops way short. Whats wrong with a Stratics mentality,maps,locations,ideas,help from vets and advanced info. The secretive tight lipped mentality of uoe is certainly the hardest thing I have had to get used to here. Bio stuff bout made me wanna quit UO. Nothing but the silent treatment for ANY question asked in GC. Thank god for Dante answering a few questions for me in a previos post.

By the time I get home from work assuming I have no wife aggro, I dont have the time/patience to run around doing nothing for however long it takes to find whatever I may be lookin for. I just wanna play, if I'm stumped I'm used to asking questions and getting help or doing a search and maybe finding a video..... I been here for 4-5 months and I JUST found the entrance to dungeon Sin.

The struggle is real.


PS. No disrespect meant toward anyone, love the shard, love the devs, just super frustrating sometimes when all ya wanna do is get home and play.


Sorry you feel frustrated, we don't intentionally try and be mysterious.  I try not to write info that has spoilers, just hints.  The reason for this is to encourage players to chat and interact, which makes the game more fun for most.

Remember UO is a marathon not a sprint, so enjoy the journey and be pleasantly surprised when you finally uncover a secret!

I do try to keep up with adding info to the wiki, but it's a big job!  If anyone wants to write or contribute to the wiki, just send it to me and ill edit and add it asap!

No worries man,


 Would assume that an Ancient Nightmare would spawn similar to how the Ancient Firesteeds spawn. That being in the areas that the normal ones spawn.


If I were to start hunting for the massively I would begin around Terathan Keep.  There are 3-4 Nightmare spawn locations there.


A problem with asking in general chat, is that chat can scroll by extremely fast and does not stay on screen very long.
One of the best locations I have found for getting info is the TeamSpeak server. Lot of people there are more than willing to explain things that would take forever to explain in chat.
