Animal Handlers spend a ton of time with their '''pets''', raising and training them.

Level 1= 10% Level 4=20% === Pet Level & Bond Level ===As you fight alongside your pet, its Bond Level increases. A new pet will begin with a Bond Level of 0, or a pet you receive from another player (not yet available in-game). For each Bond Level, pets' base damage increases by 1 or 2, max health increases by 4, and max armor increases by 1.{{Quote|source=[[Gisli]] |Pets have a level that determines their basic combat stats like health and damage. Pets that were tamed in more dangerous areas have higher starting levels. Pets earn XP when you fight alongside them, and when they have enough XP their level can increase. You will need to visit an animal-handling trainer and pay a small fee to level up your pet, when it has enough XP. In addition to raise the Pet Level, earning XP also increases the pet's Bond Level. The Bond Level gives the pet some extra damage, health, and armor. A new pet's Bond Level always starts at 0.}} === Enthusiasm ===Pet Enthusiasm is boosted by its owner's equipped items. Enthusiasm determines the chance for pets to critically hit enemies. Higher Enthusiasm is required to critically hit higher level monsters. If a pet performs a critical hit, the pet's direct damage is increased by 25% (for cats), 40% (for bears and bees), or 50% (for rats).{{Quote|source=[[SerbuleGisli]] Keep|A pet's Enthusiasm does two things: A "Temporary Stable NPC" first it determines how quickly pets gain Happiness. In addition, Enthusiasm gives the pet a chance to 'critically hit' enemies. The chance of a critical-hit is based on the pet's Enthusiasm versus the enemy's skill levels. If a pet's attack critically-hits, that attack's damage is boosted by 25% for cats, 40% for bears, or 50% for rats. The easiest way to impart some Enthusiasm into your pet is to wear special equipment that boosts your pet's Enthusiasm. As with all pet-boosting equipment, you must be wearing the item before you summon the pet.}} === Combat XP Boost % ==={{Quote|source=[[Gisli]]|Some equipment can make a pet earn XP faster. This will be shown as a Combat XP Boost when you examine the pet. But note that the pet's Happiness still plays a big role in determining the actual amount of XP they earn.}}=== Damage Boost & Damage Multiplier ==={{Quote|source=[[HoganGisli]]|A pet's Damage Boost is added to their attacks' damage. Then, the damage is multiplied by their Damage Multiplier (if any). The pet's KeepDamage Boost will naturally increase as it gains Pet Levels and Bond Levels. Both Damage Boost and Damage Multiplier can also be boosted when you wear certain equipment.}} === Happiness ===Happiness determines how much experience a pet earns. If it dies, Happiness goes down. The rate a pet recovers Happiness is based on Enthusiasm.{{Quote|source=[[Gisli]]|A pet's Happiness determines how much XP it earns when it helps you defeat enemies. A higher Happiness means it earns more XP! But if a pet dies, its Happiness is reduced by half}} == Tamable Animals =====Level Requirements===Each type of tamable animal has a minimum '''Animal Handling''' level reqired to tame it. This requirement can often be found on the wiki, on the pages of the individual animals.
You can only tame pets at your own Animal Handling skill level or up to five levels higher[[Mr. For example, Squeaky]] is not tamable through [[GrimalkinAnimal Handling]] are level 55, so you need level 50 as he is a highly-intelligent foe.

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

{{Spoiler|Click to see the item required for the Cat Shrine|
