===Combat===
Short and sweet version here check out [[Combat]] for a full run through of all buffs/equipment/effects.

[[File:Armor Health and Rage indicators.jpg||700px|Armor, Health and Power bars as of the alpha build]]

Above, you can see your characters Armor, Health, and Power as shown in-game. These are the players main resources while in combat, used to protect health, stay alive, and use player skills, respectively. They can be regained through five diffrent ways: out-of-combat regain, in-combat regain, combat refresh, player skills, and consumable buffs. These diffrent types of in/out of combat are especially important to pay attention to as they have very diffrent rates.
*Out-of-Combat, is the regain when the player is not currently fighting any mobs. It is quite high compared to the other states, and it's free!
*In-Combat is a markedly lower regain of stats state while the player is fighting enemies. It's low regain makes it necessary for players to efficiently use their Combat Refresh while fighting. *Some player skills are healing skills or can be modified to give heals when they are used.
*Consumables are the food, flower, statue, meditation, ect... They require a item to be (surprise!) consumed or used to gain their buff, the better the item the better the buff, usually.
*[[Combat Refresh]] is the system used to restore armor, health, and power while in-combat. Activating a skill's basic attack will activate this, on a 10 second cool down, not all skills have basic attacks that will activate this however. See page for details.

[[File:Chicken power level.jpg|thumb|right|150px|A chicken's Stats]]

Armor, as a resource, plays an important but subtle function in combat, it mitigates 1 point of damage for every 25 points of armor remaining and is lost when mitigating damage. So then armored becomes more effective per point, the more you have of it.

Power is consumed by most skills but there are some skills, like emergency abilities, that have no Power requirement, and typically have a longer cooldown. The amount of Power available and your ability to recover Power between encounters is very important if you hope to take on more than one enemy at once, or even solo dungeons. But be aware! Running while in combat '''will''' drain power.
[[File:Foe using Special Ability (Rage).jpg|thumb|right|130px|This goblin is in ''vulnerable'' state as indicated by the overhead icon.]]Rage is a special resource used by monsters to activate their special attacks. As you hit monsters or they hit you, they gather Rage, and when their meter is full (an orange looking hand), they user their super power. There are some skills that "manage rage', as they decrease a mobs rage or slow its ability to produce rage somehow.

Vulnerability is another special mechanic for monsters, they periodically go into this vulnerable state and some abilities have a chance to cause it. Some attacks do extra damage against vulnerable monsters, so it’s sort of a whack-a-mole mechanic — you use your vuln-boost ability when you see the monster flashing vulnerable.<includeonly>

! style="text-align:left;width:10%;" | Skill
! style="text-align:left;width:50%;" |Description
! style="text-align:left;width:30%;" |How to obtain
|-
|[[Archery]] || Expertise with using bows to hunt and kill. || Learned by new characters automatically, however you need to find the bow and arrows in a dilapidated chest on [[Anagoge]] Island before you can use it.
|-
| [[Animal Handling]] || The art of taming animals and teaching them to fight alongside you. || Learned from a Shrine outside [[Serbule Crypt]]
|-
|[[Battle Chemistry]] || Using alchemical concoctions in the heat of battle. Not for the faint of heart, or the particularly sane, this combat style specializes in area affects of all types. Advanced Practitioners can also ingest their formulae directly to take on new combat personalities. Masters can even create homunculi to serve them in battle. || A Test NPC in Marna's shop teaches this for now, but the intended functionality is that you need an Alchemy of 50.
|-
|[[Druid]] || Druidin' || Use the Druid Shrine in [[Sun Vale]]
|-
|[[Fire Magic]] || Using Fire to destroy your enemies. This is a very potent offensive skill, including long-range and area-effect attacks, and even some Cold attacks for versatility. However, there are drawbacks: Fire magic is extremely Power-intensive; all creatures generate extra Rage when they are burned; and many creatures have some resistance to fire. || Talk with [[Velkort]]
|-
|[[Hammer]] || Mastery of the user of hammer and clubs in combat. Hammers are generally considered the least versatile, least complex combat weapon, best suited to violent brutes. There are few abilities to learn, since it's so simple. Power consumption is higher than average, but so is damage. This is a weapon for crushing enemies, no more and no less. || Reach a higher Favor level with [[Agrashab]].
|-
|[[Mentalism]] || The power of mind over matter: psychic powers! This combat ability focuses on recovery and restoration, but it also has multiple damaging abilities. || Reach Friends Favor level with [[Echur]]
|-
|[[Necromancy]] || Necromancy is control over the undead, along with other powers that triffle with mortality. To use necromantic abilities, you must be wielding or wearing a necromancy gem. You can often find these on weapons, and less often on pieces of armor. (If you are in a beast form, necromancy gems in weapons won't work, but ones in armor will.) ((Subskill: [[Corpse Talking]]) || Use the Necromancy Shrine in [[Serbule Crypt]] Level 2.
|-
|[[Psychology]] || Understanding the mind of sentient creatures. Also, using that knowledge in combat and other stressful situations. || Discover Psychology on [[Anagoge]].
|-
|[[Shield]] || Expertise in the use of a shield, both as a weapon and as a defensive tool. || Reach Friends favor level with [[Tyler Green]]
|-
|[[Staff]] || Mastery of the staff as a martial weapon. Staff fighting has a mix of both offensive and defensive abilities. || Raise favor level with [[Hogan]].
|-
|[[Sword]] || Expertise with swords, rapiers and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce an enemy's Rage. || Learned by new characters automatically, but you must find a sword on [[Anagoge]] Island.
|-
|[[Unarmed]] || Mastery of the martial arts. Not especially damaging, but with great controlling and stunning abilities. Generally requires one or both hands to be empty, although you can use kicks even with other items wielded. || Learned by new characters automatically while exploring [[Anagoge]] Island.
|}
General tips for choosing between the combat skills: 
- As a newer player consider having 1 primary combat skill and choose a support skill (e.g. Psychology or Mentalism) as your secondary. That will give much better ways to heal up during combat. There is also [[Skill Compatibility Chart|chart to indicate which combat skills can be used together]]. 
- As a newer player the Archery and Fire Magic can be very expensive to level in above level 10. (Archery requires specialized higher quality arrows for the higher level abilities. Those arrows are generally not available to be bought from vendors. You would have to also level Carpentry and Fletching to be able to make your own arrows.)

===Levels & Skills===
*A short explanation: (see [[Level]] for a thorough walk-through)
**Most MMORPGs use a numeric Level system to indicate the power of players, NPCs, and mobs. Project Gorgon does not do this. Skills begin at level 0, and do not show in the player's skill panel. To get level 1 (and a usable skill), the player will need to find the appropriate NPC/quest or item that teaches/gives the skill they desire.

*Skills
**These are what players use as abilities/skill/attributes that allows them to accomplish things in the game world. See:[[skills]]
**In Project Gorgon skills are increased by using them, so the more a player uses a specific skill the higher their level will be in that skill.
**It is important to note that if active skill levels are too far apart (more than 25 levels), abilities that are above the 25 level difference are grayed out on the skill bars and unavailable for use. The player simply needs to select lower level abilities in the skill in order to use the same abilities.
**To change active skills (archery, sword, necro, etc) click the arrow button that is on the left side of the skill bar you would like to change.

*Combat Level:
**A player has two combat-abilities they can bring to a fight, each with their own skill level, as well as the armor items that the player has equipped, this leads to a, hmm, 'hazy' view on what the effective level a player really is in combat. Generally players are considered on the levels of their two currently equipped skills with the assumption that they have equipment that is reasonably close to their skill's levels. NPC Foes are judged on a case-by-case basis, with none really having at true 'level', the player will have to make an educated guess by looking at the mob's stats, again see [[Level]] for complete details.

*First time's the charm
**Most events in the game reward bonus XP the first time you complete them. This applies to using recipes in various Trade Skills, to eating all types of foods ([[Gourmand]]), slaying foes (both common and bosses), dying in different ways, and even Binding yourself to a Teleportation Circle!

===Death===
*Death is a unique and new experience in PG for most experienced MMO players for a few reasons.
*Death is a skill, as in, each death is unique and each time a player dies they get experience in the Death skill that does in fact give bonuses to some attributes and other useful abilities...
*The game does have a Death Penalty, but only when fighting bosses. When a player falls in combat to a boss they will be cursed with that boss' unique curse, and the curses effects vary, from mildly amusing to being downright unpleasant. The player is then stuck with the curse until they defeat or find some other way to remove the curse.
*Otherwise when a player just dies, for whatever reason, they respawn at the entrance to the zone that they are in.
*One last Note on Death, it is possible for there to be a Death Penalty at all times, players who enjoy this type of play style can check out [[Hardcore Mode]].
**To activate a player must interact with the sign in [[Serbule Keep]], and it is 100% voluntary.

Armor, as a resource, plays an important but subtle function in combat, it mitigates 1 point of damage for every 25 points of armor remaining and is lost when mitigating damage. So then armored becomes more effective per point, the more you have of it.

Power is consumed by most skills but there are some skills, like emergency abilities, that have no Power requirement, and typically have a longer cooldown. The amount of Power available and your ability to recover Power between encounters is very important if you hope to take on more than one enemy at once, or even solo dungeons. But be aware! Running while in combat '''will''' drain power.
[[File:Foe using Special Ability (Rage).jpg|thumb|right|130px|This goblin is in ''vulnerable'' state as indicated by the overhead icon.]]Rage is a special resource used by monsters to activate their special attacks. As you hit monsters or they hit you, they gather Rage, and when their meter is full (an orange looking hand), they user their super power. There are some skills that "manage rage', as they decrease a mobs rage or slow its ability to produce rage somehow.

Vulnerability is another special mechanic for monsters, they periodically go into this vulnerable state and some abilities have a chance to cause it. Some attacks do extra damage against vulnerable monsters, so it’s sort of a whack-a-mole mechanic — you use your vuln-boost ability when you see the monster flashing vulnerable.<includeonly>

! style="text-align:left;width:50%;" |Description
! style="text-align:left;width:30%;" |How to obtain
|-
|[[Archery]] || Expertise with using bows to hunt and kill. || Learned by new characters automatically, however you need to find the bow and arrows in a dilapidated chest on [[Anagoge]] Island before you can use it.
|-
| [[Animal Handling]] || The art of taming animals and teaching them to fight alongside you. || Learned from a Shrine outside [[Serbule Crypt]]
|-
|[[Battle Chemistry]] || Using alchemical concoctions in the heat of battle. Not for the faint of heart, or the particularly sane, this combat style specializes in area affects of all types. Advanced Practitioners can also ingest their formulae directly to take on new combat personalities. Masters can even create homunculi to serve them in battle. || A Test NPC in Marna's shop teaches this for now, but the intended functionality is that you need an Alchemy of 50.
|-
|[[Druid]] || Druidin' || Use the Druid Shrine in [[Sun Vale]]
|-
|[[Fire Magic]] || Using Fire to destroy your enemies. This is a very potent offensive skill, including long-range and area-effect attacks, and even some Cold attacks for versatility. However, there are drawbacks: Fire magic is extremely Power-intensive; all creatures generate extra Rage when they are burned; and many creatures have some resistance to fire. || Talk with [[Velkort]]
|-
|[[Hammer]] || Mastery of the user of hammer and clubs in combat. Hammers are generally considered the least versatile, least complex combat weapon, best suited to violent brutes. There are few abilities to learn, since it's so simple. Power consumption is higher than average, but so is damage. This is a weapon for crushing enemies, no more and no less. || Reach a higher Favor level with [[Agrashab]].
|-
|[[Mentalism]] || The power of mind over matter: psychic powers! This combat ability focuses on recovery and restoration, but it also has multiple damaging abilities. || Reach Friends Favor level with [[Echur]]
|-
|[[Necromancy]] || Necromancy is control over the undead, along with other powers that triffle with mortality. To use necromantic abilities, you must be wielding or wearing a necromancy gem. You can often find these on weapons, and less often on pieces of armor. (If you are in a beast form, necromancy gems in weapons won't work, but ones in armor will.) ((Subskill: [[Corpse Talking]]) || Use the Necromancy Shrine in [[Serbule Crypt]] Level 2.
|-
|[[Psychology]] || Understanding the mind of sentient creatures. Also, using that knowledge in combat and other stressful situations. || Discover Psychology on [[Anagoge]].
|-
|[[Shield]] || Expertise in the use of a shield, both as a weapon and as a defensive tool. || Reach Friends favor level with [[Tyler Green]]
|-
|[[Staff]] || Mastery of the staff as a martial weapon. Staff fighting has a mix of both offensive and defensive abilities. || Raise favor level with [[Hogan]].
|-
|[[Sword]] || Expertise with swords, rapiers and the like. Swords are very damaging, and can reduce an enemy's Rage. || Learned by new characters automatically, but you must find a sword on [[Anagoge]] Island.
|-
|[[Unarmed]] || Mastery of the martial arts. Not especially damaging, but with great controlling and stunning abilities. Generally requires one or both hands to be empty, although you can use kicks even with other items wielded. || Learned by new characters automatically while exploring [[Anagoge]] Island.

General tips for choosing between the combat skills: 
- As a newer player consider having 1 primary combat skill and choose a support skill (e.g. Psychology or Mentalism) as your secondary. That will give much better ways to heal up during combat. There is also [[Skill Compatibility Chart|chart to indicate which combat skills can be used together]]. 
- As a newer player the Archery and Fire Magic can be very expensive to level in above level 10. (Archery requires specialized higher quality arrows for the higher level abilities. Those arrows are generally not available to be bought from vendors. You would have to also level Carpentry and Fletching to be able to make your own arrows.)

===Levels & Skills===
*A short explanation: (see [[Level]] for a thorough walk-through)
**Most MMORPGs use a numeric Level system to indicate the power of players, NPCs, and mobs. Project Gorgon does not do this. Skills begin at level 0, and do not show in the player's skill panel. To get level 1 (and a usable skill), the player will need to find the appropriate NPC/quest or item that teaches/gives the skill they desire.

*Skills
**These are what players use as abilities/skill/attributes that allows them to accomplish things in the game world. See:[[skills]]
**In Project Gorgon skills are increased by using them, so the more a player uses a specific skill the higher their level will be in that skill.
**It is important to note that if active skill levels are too far apart (more than 25 levels), abilities that are above the 25 level difference are grayed out on the skill bars and unavailable for use. The player simply needs to select lower level abilities in the skill in order to use the same abilities.
**To change active skills (archery, sword, necro, etc) click the arrow button that is on the left side of the skill bar you would like to change.
** The [[Skills Compatibility Chart]] will show which combat skills can be paired together.

*Combat Level:
**A player has two combat-abilities they can bring to a fight, each with their own skill level, as well as the armor items that the player has equipped, this leads to a, hmm, 'hazy' view on what the effective level a player really is in combat. Generally players are considered on the levels of their two currently equipped skills with the assumption that they have equipment that is reasonably close to their skill's levels. NPC Foes are judged on a case-by-case basis, with none really having at true 'level', the player will have to make an educated guess by looking at the mob's stats, again see [[Level]] for complete details.

*First time's the charm
**Most events in the game reward bonus XP the first time you complete them. This applies to using recipes in various Trade Skills, to eating all types of foods ([[Gourmand]]), slaying foes (both common and bosses), dying in different ways, and even Binding yourself to a Teleportation Circle!

===Death===
*Death is a unique and new experience in PG for most experienced MMO players for a few reasons.
*Death is a skill, as in, each death is unique and each time a player dies they get experience in the Death skill that does in fact give bonuses to some attributes and other useful abilities...
*The game does have a Death Penalty, but only when fighting bosses. When a player falls in combat to a boss they will be cursed with that boss' unique curse, and the curses effects vary, from mildly amusing to being downright unpleasant. The player is then stuck with the curse until they defeat or find some other way to remove the curse.
*Otherwise when a player just dies, for whatever reason, they respawn at the entrance to the zone that they are in.
*One last Note on Death, it is possible for there to be a Death Penalty at all times, players who enjoy this type of play style can check out [[Hardcore Mode]].
**To activate a player must interact with the sign in [[Serbule Keep]], and it is 100% voluntary.

... whereas human children were often taught this simple mnemonic:

: "Twenty godlings in the ground,
: Twenty more in air surround,
: One was killed in demon fire,
: Two were banished to the mire."

The logic behind the couplet no longer makes sense due to the recent changes, but the addition and subtraction at least provides the correct number of gods.

Most Council citizens can name a dozen common gods, but the majority of them are too minor to be well known, or are most active on other continents.

'''Geology''' allows the collection of gems which are used for crafting and the [[teleportation]] skill. In order to raise this skill a player must first obtain the associated [[Surveying]] skill from [[Jaime Fatholm]], and use a '''Crystal Survey'''.

A mineral survey of a given tier leads to a gem from that tier. Some gems are less common than others, for example Obsidians are not as common when making Blue Mineral Surveys.

Blue Crystal Surveys leading to Amethysts are quite popular due to their use in [[Teleportation]].

Gems are used in various crafting recipes to create Enchanted equipment. They're placed into the Primary Crystal and Secondary Crystal slots.

Animal Handlers spend a ton of time with their '''pets''', raising and training them. Ancillary skills like '''Animal Husbandry''' let them breed pets to get the best genes for fighting (and best colors and appearances!). Animal Handlers have a lot of versatility because they can summon different pets for different problems, but they have to spend a lot of time out of combat raising these pets. (Hopefully this is a fun activity for them, though! It’s aimed at people who think raising and breeding virtual animals sounds fun.)
}}
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Animal Handling''' is a combat skill that many wanderers of Alharth like to learn. The skill focuses on taming and training various animals to fight alongside you.
=== In-Game Description ===
The art of taming animals and teaching them to fight alongside you.
=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===

[[Gisli]], a Dwarf living in [[Serbule Keep]], will teach the art of Animal Handling for 2000 Councils. Unlike many denizens of Alharth, you don't need to be his friend, he seems willing to teach the skill to anyone who can pay.
== Related Skills ==
'''Sub-Skills:'''
* Animal Husbandry - Not in the game yet.
'''Secondary:'''
* [[Charm Rat]] - While not a skill, Adventurers may wish to learn the art of 'Rat Charming. While you can learn to '''Tame Rat'''s from Gisli, the method to '''Charm''' Rats must be obtained elsewhere. This relatively rare technique is rumored to have been taught at a secret Council Academy once operating on [[Anagoge Island]]. Charmed Rats are still wild animals, not pets. Charmed Rats will follow you around, and can't be revived once defeated in battle.
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Basic Abilities==
As you level {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}, you will learn the following abilities:

=== Animal Taming ===
Before Animal Handlers can call a wild animal their pet, it must first be '''Tamed.''' Shrines can be found across Alharth dedicated to specific types of animals. These shrines hold secrets related to '''Taming''' their associated animals, and may grant their knowledge to anyone who solves their sacrificial riddles. You can only tame pets at your own Animal Handling skill level or up to five levels higher. For example, [[Grimalkin]] are level 55, so you need a minimum of 50 levels of Animal Handling to tame one.

To '''Tame''' a wild animal, the animal's associated Taming Ability must be used. Adventurers wishing to '''Tame''' a cat must complete a twenty second cast of their '''Tame Cat''' ability, while focusing on a specific wild [[Feline]]. If the Adventurer is able to survive the cat for twenty seconds, the cat will accept the Adventurer as its master.

=== Raising Skill Levels ===
To level Animal Handling, an Adventurer must actively use pet abilities while fighting, just like every other skill.
=== Stables ===
You can have as many pets as you have stable slots. You can buy more stable slots from the following Stablemasters.
* [[Gisli]] in [[Serbule]].
* Placeholder Stablemaster in [[Hogan's Keep]].
These Stablemasters can help you to rename your pets, level up your pets, release unwanted pets, and most importantly, revive them if they fall in battle.

Deceased pets can be revived at a stable for a small fee.
=== Anchor Runes===
Potential Prodigies versed in '''Animal Handling''' may have learned the '''Unnatural Wrath''' abilities.{{Hint| From Gisli in Serbule Keep}} These abilities require an [[Anchor Rune]] to be used.

Shadowy deer shaped [[Construct]]s such as the [[Misery Yak]] are reportedly sources of this item.
=== Healing Pets ===
While deceased pets can be revived at a Stable, adept Animal Handlers may attempt to resuscitate their pets using [[Good First Aid Kit]]s.
:* Note that pet healing skills mean overall health/armor healing, not each. Example: if your pet is missing 5 health and 20 armor, and you use Feed Pet for +15 healing, the pet will recover 5 health and 10 armor.
=== Pet Combat & Tricks ===
Every '''Tamed''' animal has two types of special attacks, a '''Sic 'Em Attack''' and a '''Special Trick.''' Every animal has a different set of attacks.
: '''Clever Trick''' is an ability Animal Handlers will learn at levels 3, 25, and 44. This ability commands your pet to perform its '''Special Trick.'''
: '''Sic 'Em''' is an ability Animal Handlers will learn at levels 9, 19, 29, 39, and 49. This ability commands your pet to perform its '''Sic 'Em Attack.'''
