How do I spend passive skill gains?
"Spend" passive skill gains by killing creatures with your pets.
Note - You have a chance to spend a passive skill gain anytime you kill a creature, but creatures with a higher difficulty rating have an increased chance to spend a passive skill gain.
Khal Draco Tip - To spend passive skill gains quickly, ask a guildmate or kindly ask other players in the world if you can follow them around and "spend passive points". Simply attack any pets they are killing, the amount of damage does not impact your chance at spending a passive gain.
What is the best strategy for spending passive skill gains?
Spending passive gains becomes much more important at the later stages of taming (100-120). However, the best method to spend passive skills gains is to tame creatures from 0 taming skill to 2.5 taming skill, and then spend passive skill gains with your pets from 2.5 to 5 by killing creatures.
Here is an example:
50 - 52.5 (tame a level 50 creature to gain skill and earn passive skill gains)
52.5 - 55 (kill creatures with your pets and spend 2.5 passive skill gains)
55 - 57.5 (tame a level 55 creature to gain skill and earn passive skill gains)
57.5 - 60 (kill creatures with your pets and spend 2.5 passive skill gains)
60-62.5 (tame a level 60 creature to gain skill and earn passive skill gains)
65-70 (kill creatures with your pets and spend 2.5 passive skill gains)
Follow this strategy until your desired animal taming skill level.
