You can learn the skill from Rappanel in South Serbule. (He's in the inn.) As you advance in Bard skill, you will also need to improve other skills, including performance, vocabulary, and poetry appreciation. Rappanel should give you enough information to proceed at each stage. We need feedback on how easy/hard it is to advance as a bard! We also need feedback on the bard's general abilities and playability. Keep in mind that the bard is designed to be a support character. It is definitely possible to solo with the bard, but it's not going to be as fast as some other skills.

Note: the bardic music tracks are draft versions, not the finalized versions. There are small issues with the looping of some tracks, plus some pops and crackles in a few sound effects. These small issues will be fixed soon.

One other note: Bardic music is implemented as a "performance". This has many subtle ramifications, but one useful feature is that if you tire of hearing the bardic songs, you can go into the Configuration window's Audio tab and reduce the number of audible performers to zero.

'''Bard''' is a skill intended for Adventurers looking to provide support to their fellow travelers. The Bard skillset can only be used by humanoid races at this time, and travelers confined to [[Beast Forms]] will find it difficult, even impossible to use.

'''Hissy''' is a named [[Grimalkin]]. It can be spotted easily due to his large size and bright red color. The spawn may be similar to [[Old Fangsworth|Fangsworth]] if it's triggered by killing random Grimalkin, or it might be linked to the time of day. Hissy can be tamed using the Tame Cat ability and charmed to be made a permanent pet after reaching level 50 in Animal Handling.

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.

== Connected Skills ==
=====Sub-Skills:=====
* Animal Husbandry - Not in the game yet.
=====Secondary Skills:=====
* [[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:

(Under Construction - Higher level skills may be learned from [[Gisli]].)

{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Abilities}}
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== 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.'''

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.

== Connected Skills ==
=====Sub-Skills:=====
* Animal Husbandry - Not in the game yet.
=====Secondary Skills:=====
* [[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:


Abilities available from [[Gisli]] the stable master in [[Serbule Keep]].

=== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Advanced Abilities===
Upon reaching higher levels, experts of the {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Skill may learn the following abilities:

(Under Construction - Higher level skills may be learned from [[Gisli]].)

{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Abilities}}
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== 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.

; Charm Rat
: Learned on [[Anagoge Island]].
; Tame Rat

; Tame Cat

<spoiler show="Click to see the item required for the Bear Shrine">
The answer is "Perch": This item can be obtained through fishing...
</spoiler>

=== 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.'''

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.

== Connected Skills ==
=====Sub-Skills:=====
* Animal Husbandry - Not in the game yet.
=====Secondary Skills:=====
* [[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:

{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Abilities}}
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== 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.'''

{{Quote|Using daggers and thrown knives in combat. Knife combat is extremely damaging, relying on traumatic injuries, poison, and subterfuge.}}

Knife Fighting is a combat skill focused on heavy Damage Over Time(DoT) attacks. Combining its attacks with its evasion and light self-healing abilities make it a strong main skill.

There are also throwing knives that can be used as a ranged attack. These work much like arrows in that they sometimes (85%) are recoverable when looting enemies, otherwise they are lost on use.

[[Bahdba]] teaches this skill in the countryside to the southeast of Serbule Keep. It will be a starting skill for the upcoming Fairy race. [[Flia]] teaches several extra Knife Fighting techniques. Some Blacksmithing Throwing Knife recipes are taught by [[Bahdba]].

The skill can be raised to level 60 by befriending [[Lisi]] in Sun Vale.

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.

== Connected Skills ==
=====Sub-Skills:=====
* Animal Husbandry - Not in the game yet.
=====Secondary Skills:=====
* [[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:


Abilities available from [[Gisli]] the stable master in [[Serbule Keep]].
{| {{AATST}}
|- style="background: #ec81bf;"

|-
| Wild Endurance || 17 || 3100 || Order your pet to hold its ground. Pet regenerates 10 Health/Sec and gains Universal Mitigation +5 for 15 Seconds

=== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Advanced Abilities===
Upon reaching higher levels, experts of the {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Skill may learn the following abilities:

(Under Construction - Higher level skills may be learned from [[Gisli]].)

{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Abilities}}
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== 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.

: '''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.'''

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.

== Connected Skills ==
=====Sub-Skills:=====
* Animal Husbandry - Not in the game yet.
=====Secondary Skills:=====
* [[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:


Abilities available from [[Gisli]] the stable master in [[Serbule Keep]].
{| {{AATST}}
|- style="background: #ec81bf;"
! Ability || Lvl Req || Cost || Notes
|-
| Wild Endurance || 17 || 3100 || Order your pet to hold its ground. Pet regenerates 10 Health/Sec and gains Universal Mitigation +5 for 15 Seconds
|-
| Wild Endurance 2 || 32 || 8600 || Order your pet to hold its ground. Pet regenerates 20 Health/Sec and gains Universal Mitigation +10 for 15 Seconds
|-
| Wild Endurance 3 || 47 || 14100 || Order your pet to hold its ground. Pet regenerates 30 Health/Sec and gains Universal Mitigation +15 for 15 Seconds
|-
| Unnatural Wrath || 15 || 2900 || Your pet takes 50 damage and deals +30 damage on its next attack. Requires an Anchor Rune in your inventory, and has a 10% chance to consume it
|-
| Unnatural Wrath 2 || 30 || 5400 || Your pet takes 150 damage and deals +70 damage on its next attack. Requires an Anchor Rune in your inventory, and has a 10% chance to consume it
|-

=== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Advanced Abilities===
Upon reaching higher levels, experts of the {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Skill may learn the following abilities:

(Under Construction - Higher level skills may be learned from [[Gisli]].)

{{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Abilities}}
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Mechanics ==
=== 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.

; Charm Rat
: Learned on [[Anagoge Island]].
; Tame Rat
: Learned from [[Gisli]] in [[Serbule]].
; Tame Cat
: Learned by Level 20 Animal Handlers at the Cat Shrine in Southwest [[Eltibule]].
<spoiler show="Click to see the item required for the Cat Shrine">
The answer is "String": a string seems to be the item required to sacrifice. This item can be obtained through either Textile Creation or purchased from Ukorga in the Kur Mountains.
</spoiler>
; Tame Bear
: Learned by Level XX Animal Handlers at the Bear Shrine in the [[Kur Mountains]].
<spoiler show="Click to see the item required for the Bear Shrine">
The answer is "Perch": This item can be obtained through fishing...
</spoiler>

=== 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.
