    1. Title:Taming Bugs In R26
    2. Reproduction Rate:100%
    3. Blocker?No
    4. Details:
      Tame Creature: As it improves, nothing changes. It stays as 10 second cooldown, 20 range, and 100% chance to consume reagents from 1 to 10.
      Summoning: Improving it does not appear to change it. It is identical at skill 1 as skill 10.
      Combat Training: Doesn't appear to do anything. Appearance, Damage, Hit points are all identical for a pet at +0 Tame level bonus as +1 or +2. It does, however, show up at +3, but that's 27 levels in, and so gives the impression this skill is doing nothing up to that point. If hit points incremented even 1 per Tame Level Bonus, as trivially small as that is, at least the player would know it's doing something.
      Concentration: -8.4% at level 20 means it will top out at around 42% at GM. Needs to be double that, at least.
      Collar Recovery: Does not change anything. Collar reagent consumption remains at 100% with this skill at level 1, 10 or 20.

      Overall, collar consumption is... not working right. Despite never actually taming a creature, from skill 1 to 10 of Tame Creature, I consumed 3 collars. No indication as to why or how, as I didn't tame anything. If the intended mechanic is that the collars are only consumed when you succeed, this is broken & not working properly. As well, Collar Recovery, as noted above, doesn't have any information on the tooltip and doesn't appear to do anything, as the Tame Creature reagent consumption value remains at 100% no matter what skill Collar Recovery is at.

      As has been mentioned many times, given there is no metal scraps recipe for producing silver ingots, and silver nodes are exceedingly rare and difficult to harvest in Novia (so far, up to R26) it makes testing this mechanic extraordinarily tedious. :(
    5. Steps to Reproduce:Use Taming. :)

    Thank you for the input! Submitting for review. It's fairly evident a lot of these skills aren't as player-facing as we'd like them to be.
