I did the taming bit yesterday 50-GM in about 4-5 hours. And this is more or less what I did:
50-65 Run around Yew and look for black/brown bears, hinds, llamas
65-75 Think I did great harts and grizzly bears in Yew/East Moonglow area.
75-GM Great harts/bulls in papua followed by giant toads in the bog swamp to the east. There's a ton of toads and no one's there so no need to fight over bulls in Delucia. Since you're doing taming as a first skill you should be running around butt naked anyway, if you die just run to papua, res and tame a new ostard just outside
