I don't think a person with under 50 taming should be able to tame a stang period. It is completely unfair to anyone who trained this skill up. I mean seriously, so what if it takes someone 8 hours to tame it at 0-30 taming... thats easily done overnight after you gate the stang somewhere safe.

They should all be protected by monsters to some degree too.

People who earned taming should be able to make a profession out of it. People with low taming should not.

As for the range, it only takes 1 minute to track 1000 tiles if you run in a large circle around the general area of where it spawns. Isn't there some way to make it spawn at a new location after it is tamed but keeping the same timer?

I think they should be guarded by ten guardians on a 1x1 tile and have only one 'stang spawn.

There, now work for it.
