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.)

: Learned from [[Gisli]] in [[Serbule]].
; Tame Cat
: Learned by Level 20 Animal Handlers at the Cat Shrine in Southwest northeast [[Eltibule]].
{{Spoiler|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. Cat eyes, which can be sometimes looted from a cat, work as sacrifice too.
Deceased pets can be revived at a stable for a small fee.
=== Summoning Pets ===As you level up in Animal Handling you'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 single pet tamed from Animal Handling at a time, 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 be used.
=== 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.
: '''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.'''
: '''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.'''
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]]|
Pet shave 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), or 50% (for rats).
{{Quote|source=[[Gisli]]|
A pet's Enthusiasm does two things: 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=[[Gisli]]|
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 Damage 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
