Unicorn Taming Calculator
Put its food in your last hotbar slot and feed it once, then mount it straight away. Stay on and feed again every time it prompts you. Each feed is worth well over what that food is normally worth, so bring the best thing it eats rather than berries. It throws you off somewhere between seven and forty-six seconds whatever you do, and being thrown costs a quarter of the progress you have built and makes it hostile, so feed on every prompt and get straight back on.
How this tame works
No knockoutBring 10 Rockarrot. About 4 minutes at level 150.
- A ride lasts somewhere between 7s and 46s. It rolls a fresh number every time it throws you, so plan for the short end rather than the long one.
- The food table below does not know about the 125% penalty, so its counts come out lower than the real ones. Use the figure above.
- Feed it once, get on, and feed again every time it prompts you. Each successful feed is worth 125% of what that food is normally worth, so pick the best thing in the table below.
- Being thrown off costs 25% of the progress you have built up, so keep feeding on the prompt rather than trying to hang on through one.
