Turtle Taming

This page is in need of content. July 16, 2014 update -- need to check everything! Confirm number of turns required to get a turtle. Some zones have 2 possible turtles, they're all part of a set, probably. Is the delay for the second turtle modified by "Helps You Tame Turtles"?

Turtle Tamers have the ability to find and tame various turtles, which in turn provide items, equipment, and familiars.

Turtle Tamers make progress in encountering a turtle taming adventure for a specific zone every time they win a combat, which can be decreased with items with the effect "Helps You Tame Turtles". The following have the "Helps You Tame Turtles" effect:

• Eau de Tortue, from turtle pheromones (30 Adventures)
• turtling rod/Flail of the Seven Aspects (Cannot be stacked with each other)
• Garter of the Turtle Poacher

Notes

• Finding a turtle does not consume an adventure.
• You can only encounter a turtle taming adventure once in a zone per an unknown delay.
  • Most zones have only one turtle, but some zones, Belowdecks, The Haunted Laundry Room, and The Haunted Wine Cellar, have two. Finding the second turtle takes longer.
• Clover Adventures do not override taming, but some Wandering monsters may.
