Animal Handling
The art of taming animals and teaching them to fight alongside you.
Skill Type:	Combat Skills
Max Level:	60
Requirements:	None
Skill Trainers:	Gisli

“

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.)

Animal Handling 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 Animal Handling

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.

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 Rats 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.

Animal Handling 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.

Tame Bear

Learned by Level XX Animal Handlers at the Bear Shrine in the Kur Mountains.

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 These abilities require an Anchor Rune to be used.

Shadowy deer shaped Constructs 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 Kits.

• 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.
