Did I just WASTE 500 Sovereigns all for nothing ??
First of all, I have my Stables full of pets and my stable slots, when I placed those pets in the Stables, were calculated off of my character's Taming Skills.
I have a total of 15 pets in this character's stables.
I soulstoned all this character's Taming Skills because I needed to use other skills with him.
I got a Blue Beetle and wanted to put it into the Stables.
The Stable Master told me they were full. OK.
I went to the UO Store and purchased, at the cost of 500 Sovereign, a stable slots increase token which I immediately used "thinking" to gain 3 extra slots with it OVER the 15 I already had occupied in my character's stables.
Well, NOT AT ALL.
The NPC Stable Master KEEPS repeating me that my stables are FULL and I cannot put the Blue Beetle in the Stables....
I wasted 500 sovereigns ALL FOR NOTHING ?
@Mesanna , @Kyronix ? How about making this clear BEFORE one uses the stable slots increase token ?
Now what ?
By the way, I did try to page a Game Master but so far, got no replay nor any message....

Stable Slot Entitlement
The command ‘stablecount’ will tell you the number of pets you have stored and your total storage allowed. Example: ‘2/6 stable stalls used’
Stable slots are based on current Taming/Lore,Vet, not on what the char use to have. Put your Taming/Lore/Vet back on that char and you should have you 15 old slots and the 3 you just bought.
You know, WARNING MESSAGES to avoid wasting money all for nothing ???
@Mesanna ?
So, if I put BACK the Taming Skills I will THEN have a total of the 15 slots I had PLUS the now 3 extra that I purchased ?
That is, a TOTAL of 18 slots IF I put back my taming skills ?
That is, in the end, I did not waste 500 Sovereings all for nothing ?
15/9 stable stalls used.
Which I understand means, I got 15 pets in Stables while, since I currently have no taming skills on the character, I could have 9.
Now, WHERE does it ways that the 500 Sovereigns spent added me 3 extra slots which I will get OVER the 15 once I put back on character the Taming skills ?
Is that so ?
I think you are thinking about it the wrong way. Think of your Stablecount the same way as you will +stat gear.
• Everyone has 4 Stable Slots (2 Base, + 2 from Stygian Abyss).
• I will assume you have Time of Legends for another +2 Slots, so now your base is 6 slots.
• The Stable Slot tokens from the UO store add to your "base" stable count by 3 for each token.
• You used 1 token, so your base stable count is now 9.
You will now get a bonus to your stable slot count based on your Taming/Lore/Vet skills. I don't know what your skills are, but we will assume they were 3x 120 modified (so giving you 9 extra stable slots).
Once you soulstone your taming/lore/vet skills back on, you will get +9 stable slots added to your stablecount, so you will now have 18 stable slots (and it's at this point you will see the effect of your store item purchase).
Once you stone taming/lore/vet back off your character, you will lose the bonus stable slots from those skills (similar to unequipping +stat armor), but your base stablecount will remain,so you will be back to 9 stableslots.

There are plenty of pets to put in there.
The number of slot drops (because having switched to some other Mastery) which it means not being able to take a pet out of the stables because it could then not be put back in unless one switched to Taming Mastery back again ?
If so, ain't it a tad ackward as a mechanics ?
Say that I had a pet in the stables that did not require any particular taming to control (for example a Blue or Fire Beetle....), since I soulstoned my Taming skills, I now cannot take it off the stables because if I did, I could not put it back in them unless I picked up the Taming Skills back from the soulstones...
Same with the Masteries.... if one has reached sull slots capacity, they would have to switch back and forth with the Taming Mastery each time they want to take or put back a pet from the Stables ?
Yes. I had to do it recently as my lore was not 120, so I had to use a piece of jewelry to put my pets in and out till I healed my pet enough to get to 120 cause I just had to have one more pet than I could have. So there are many variables to this.
See Popps, it is a very intricate skill, more so than just all kill. There have been many little things given to tamers to let them have more slots. You and I, we, must work within those confines.
The few things I can say is, the pets are now numbered in the stable.
You now know your stable count.
Do you switch masteries? If so, don't count on the extra spot for it.
Work with in the boundaries set for taming.
You learned a lot today about stable slots. It does seem overwhelming for sure.
All of my stabled pets, are pre-patch.
And I have read pretty much anywhere, to be EXTREMELY carefull and only when I have mastered the new pets' training system, proceed to train them and see which I may want to keep and which to discard.
Because, i keep reading pretty much everywhere, it is very easy through training to ruin that specialty that some pre-patch pets might have.
That puts me, as a returning player with a Taming character, in a position where, before I will master the new taming mechanics, it is best that I do not even "touch" any of my pre-patch stabled pets.
So, unless I do not want to play taming for a good while, until I have learned all of the ins and outs of the new Taming mechanics, and which is what I am currently doing now (and that is why I Soulstoned my Taming skills and am using others to play the character...), I would need to have "extra" slots and train "new" pets so as to then be able to play pets' training free of worries about doing mistakes and ruining some special pre-patch pet.
Unfortunately, even playing taming with current tameables seems difficult as a returning player....
I hve no clue which pet is worth being tamed and trained up....
To give an example, I seem to understand that now Blue Bettles and Fire Bettles might be "top" combat tameables now ?
Who would have thought back then when they were only used either as "pack beetles" or by miners to smelt....
And that is only an example....
I have been told, as another example, that "lesser" hyrius are now better then hiryus one trained up....
Again, who would have thought back then ?
Not to mention, of course, all of the "new" Tameables including the Triton which we are about to get as a Rising Tide reward, I understand....
What I am trying to say, is that, considering that my stables slots are extremely limited, even if I took back the Taming skills from the Soulstones and somehow was able to afford a Taming 3 Primer, including those 3 extra slots which I invested 500 Sovereigns into I would only have a handfull of "new", additional slots to play with in addition to those already taken up by my pre-patch pets.
Too few, at least to my opinion, to be able to "play around" with the "new" Taming mechanics until I learn its ins and outs....
And, frankly, I do not feel like putting more Sovereigns into purchasing more Stable slots until I understand the new mechanics better which will take me time...
That is why, as of now, I just "parked" my Tamer and am using other skills....
Too much to learn about the "new" Taming, too easy to make mistakes in training pre-patch pets and thus ruin their potential uniqueness....
Better to just leave Taming on a side, at least for now, until I get the time to learn all of the Guides and advice from experienced Tamers about what to do and what to not do when training up a pet and, most importantly, which pets are good for what Bosses....
@Rorschach I was talking about the website www.UO-cah.com.
I was so worried about doing something illegal that I forgot to type the site web address, lol.
