There=== Animal Taming ===Before Animal Handlers can call a wild animal their pet, it must first be '''Tamed.'s a lot more '' Shrines can be found across Alharth dedicated to specific types of animals. These shrines hold secrets related to it'''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 lot more minimum of 50 levels of Animal Handling to cometame one.<ref>In-game message as of Sept 2014</ref>
== Pets Stats == 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.
