UO Second Age

Ok, so I went into wind to start taming up some drakes and noticed a rather peculiar discrepancy. I use the uo stratics site for everything that details taming, and according to it, I can tame drakes at 84.3 taming. Now I went into IRC and asked around and got the t2a wiki taming guide. I found out that it takes 95.1 taming to do a drake, while only 93.9 for a dragon. This makes no sense to me at all since I recall being able to always do drakes at 84.3. I was suggested to post this up in era accuracy to see if it could be remedied. I mean, drakes stronger than dragons? Not that I know of, so why more taming to tame them?

Must be because Drakes are more common thus easier access, the only reasoning I see as to why drakes would be harder to tame.

The difficulties are right out of era stratics:

ok. stratics is what i always used so i wanted to make sure that it was correct.

Drakes were supposedly more "tempermental" than dragons. This is why, like wyverns, they notice you and attack you pretty quickly... quicker than dragons even.

They were changed to a lower taming requirement at some point during UO:R, when the pet control slots and such became instituted.

thanks for the clarification mike.
