Is there a browsable Table somewhere that lists MoBs also by their skill level among other stats ?
I need to train up Tactics and Wrestling on a pet and, I understand, in order for the pet to gain, they need to fight a target that is within 25 from their current skill level.
Without having to look at any and all MoBs that exist in UO one by one, to see which among them are within those 25 points from the skill that one wants to train on the pet, is there a database somewhere (I looked, but could not find one so far...) where one can sort MoBs in UO by their skill level so as to more quickly determine which ones the pet needs to fight in order to gain in those skills ?
Thank you for the help !

It seems that within the Stratics search, it is possible to also enter a "range" value...
I will try it out, thank you.
The only mob you can continuously fight with your pet is a shadow elemental.
Is this the first pet you have skilled?
Do you have Lore?
Even my older pets, have yet to max out their skills and, mind you, they are 110s or at most 115s... just to show how, in the past, I have taken it extremely relaxedly in training up pets...
As in regards having Lore, I guess that without it I could not have control of pets... so... I think that answers your question...
You know you need to match tactics and wrestling to get your pet to advance faster.
So why aren't you at one of those two places gaining pet skill while reading the internet?
How do I get Tactics to "catch up with" Wrestling ?
Also, I checked Acid slugs and Slimes and the slugs seem to come with a Tactics of 50... so, I can use them only up to 75 on the pet.... the slimes are even worse since the seem to have only from 19.3 to 34.0 Tactics so, I guess, with my pet being at 60 it is already beyond that 25 points range it needs to be in order to gain...
Are we sure that slugs and slimes might be good to gain in tactics (and wrestling) at the point my pet currently is?

Oops the reason I wrote here. You forgot to tell him they only die to Physical based weapons or spells. So, he needs to use earthquake.
I have a feeling the beetle in question has not been trained yet. Its only been a few days since he asked about using dread pirates, he needs to get resists on the pet before he does skilling.
So, we are about a year from the actual skilling process.
You need the training done first so your pet can survive fighting. I would have a beetle fully trained in lets see, 40 mins for level 2, 30 mins for level 3, 30 mins for level 4, 30 mins for level 5. I kill the crazed mage with 2 archers. Or you can use multiple dread pirates.
Instead of writing a rebuttal, if the pet is trained go put the pet on the slimes while running consume and go walk away until server down, by tomorrow the wrestling will be 100 and the tactics will be 70 or 80.
If the pet is not trained, come back when done before you jump to theoretical skilling.
I wait to post on his questions. You had ample time to answer these very basic questions but you chose not to. Instead you troll every thread I post in. And provide no helpful information.
Answer questions if you don't like how I do it. I not not use flowery sentences. I just state facts. I am not here to hold your hand or be your friend.
Come to LS with a pet and I will stand right next you the whole training, I will kill the crazy mages and guide you through the building of it.

I actually wanted to raise dexterity on the pet to 125 before initiating the training so as to save up on training points... incidentally, since this happened through fighting, I thought to also benefit fighting the right MOBs (within the 25 skill range) so as to raise also Anatomy, Wrestling and Tactics.
Sure, without training, the pet needs help to stay alive but, with Consume and a few heals now and then, I manage to keep it alive when having it fight MoBs even without having started any training on it, yet...
I have been doing the Shadow Ore elementals and now it reached 100.0 Wrestling which triggered Parrying gains so, as soon as I can start the training, if wanted, I can also scroll up Parrying...
By the way, being an experienced Tamer, may I ask you if there is an order of what you usually prefer to train as first on, and what later on, on a pet ?
Let's see... when allocating Training on a pet throughout the various training sessions, one has to allocate Points to :
- Resistances
- Stats Regenerations
- Strength
- Dexterity
- Hit Points
- Stamina
- Powerscrolls to increase the skill CAP
- Magical Abilities
- Special Abilities
- Special Moves
- Area Effect Abilities
- Base Damage per Second
Now, I have read that, in order not to end up without the option to select a special Ability/Move/AoE, players suggest to do it, usually, unless a Magical Ability is really needed to make a Special Abilities/Special Moves/AoE be available (for example like Poison breath which requires Poisoning to be present as a Magical Ability in order to be selectable...), "from bottom --> up".... that is, to first select (in case it is wanted) an AoE, then, a Special Move, then a Special Ability and in the end, a Magical Ability...This, because other tamers have run into, when starting from up --> down, that is, from a Magical Ability downwards, at times ended up being unable to then select what they wanted among Special Abilities/Special Moves/AoE
See, for example, https://community.stratics.com/threads/fire-beetle-advancements.427018/post-3121563 or https://community.stratics.com/threads/order-of-picking-abilities-area-effect-special-moves.396669/post-2911770
As in regards to the other things to pick when training a pet, is there a sequential order that is advisable and, please, if you want to indicate what order should be preferable when selecting training things for a pet, can you also kindly explain the reason behind that order or preference choice so that players trying to approach Taming can learn not just how it should be done properly, but also "why" it is done in that order, what is the logic behind that choice for a sequential order when selecting training options for a pet....
Thank you very much.

You even reply to the post where I gave you a link to the guide.
Good luck to you.
The blue dinosaur thing and crazed mage are all you need to 1-5 slot a pet. The cu is key with the dinosaur.
Not sure if it actually works or just seems that way but i feel like discording (dino/mage) manipulates gains.
There's several ways to do this. There's an old rumor that taking music down to 40 will increase gains at higher levels. After 90 you only need to cast the masteries.
1)You can use JC's list on UOGuide which is really detailed but also suggests using a crystal ball of knowledge.
2)Use jewels and go straight for end level cus. On Atlantic the tamers used to fill the cave with enough trash cu's to 120 a bard.
3)Buy a mythic token and just cast the mastery.
4)You can be the ultimate powergamer by buying enough pinks to have a character out of the box.
5)You could glance at tried and tested skill gain scripts to see what and when. From there it's only a judgement call if you use it or not. I personally see no issue in skill gaining.
