'''; Tame Bee: Learned by Level 70 Animal Handling''' is currently obtained Handlers from an altar just outside the graveyard, [[Crelpin]] in the south/west of [[SerbuleFae Realm]] (during alpha === Raising Skill Levels ===To level Animal Handling, later it will available through a quest)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 Stable Masters.
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.)<refdpl>http category = Stablemaster columns = 1 mode = userformat include = {NPC infobox}://www.eldergame.com/2012/07/a-little-more-about-evil-undead-and-pet-classes/ A little more about evilzone table = class="sortable wikitable", undeadNPC Name, and pet classesLocation</refdpl>
You will need Stable Masters can help you to know how to charm an animal to get started (rename your pets, level up your pets, release unwanted pets, and most players have learned how to charm rats importantly, revive them if they fall in the [[Tutorial Cave]]).

You can have as many Deceased pets as you have stable slots. You can buy more be revived at a stable slots in townfor a small fee.
If your pet diesThe fee for extra stable slots increases with each slot, you can either try to resuscitate it in the fieldfor example #8 costs 10.000 council, or head back to the stable to revive it for a small fee#9 costs 50.000 council.
There=== Summoning Pets ===As you level up in Animal Handling you's ll gain access to abilities that allow you to summon your pets based on what stable slot they are in. You may only summon a lot more to itsingle pet tamed from Animal Handling at a time, and a lot more but you may summon your Animal Handling pets alongside pets from other skills like [[Necromancy]] or [[Battle Chemistry]]. === 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 comebe used.<ref>In-game message as of Sept 2014</ref>

Once you reach Level 20 '''Animal Handling''', you can begin to charm [[Cat]] mobs. Unlike rats, charmed cats only stick around for a few minutes, so tame them quickly!
Resting among the [[Fey Panther]] Known '''Sic 'Em''' attacks are as follows: Bear Self-Heal (Pet): Slashing Damage and [[Self-Heal +20* Sic 'Em level: Bear Groupie]]population in Southwest EltibuleTaunt (Pet): Slashing Damage and Taunt +60* Sic 'Em level: Big Cat Kill (Pet): Heavy Slashing Damage: Grimalkin Puncture (Pet): Trauma Damage over time.: Raking Claw (Pet): Debuff Slashing Damage for 8 seconds.

Level 1=-90, Level 6=-500
The shrine will present you with a riddle, and ask for an item to be sacrificed.
<spoiler show="Click to see the item required for the Cat Shrine">
The answer is "String." This item is also known as "Ball of String" and can be obtained through either Textile Creation or purchased from Ukorga in the Kur Mountains. A Prodigy who things ahead might obtain more than one "Ball of String" for use with the newly acquired skill.

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}} ===
<!-- A list of methods to learn and level the skill -->
* [[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. He will also unlock skill levels 51-60, and 61-70.
* [[Crelpin]] in the [[Fae Realm]] will unlock levels 71-80.
* Levels 81-90 may be unlocked by gaining favor with a mysterious entity deep beneath [[Povus]].
== Connected Skills ==
=====Sub-Skills:=====
* [[Animal Husbandry]]
=====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}} 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.
