  • Keep collected Wolves as the last items placed into the Sack to prevent being forced to take out unnecessary Items.

  • To avoid having Wolves attack other untamed Wolves within their pack and draining their health, immediately store a tamed Wolf in the Sack.

  • Wolves can be stored in your Sack to release when needed or when dying.

  • Players using Packmaster can tame 6 wolves at once while still being alive and 13 if the player is wearing Full Armor.
