Animal handling pets have 4 or more life charge which can been seen by mousing over the pet cage icon. the charges can be restored using the Tend Pet ability which uses 1 Bandage, but to use tend pet on a pet you have to have your veterinary medicine to the skill level for that pet as shown below.

Pet Growth
  • Baby
  • Very Younge
  • Younge
  • Younge Adult
  • Adult
  • Mature
  • Alpha

you can have up to 3 pets out as long as you meet the skill requirements fo, and your pet cobind levels do not exceed the Pet Cap Level 20(base)+1(every 120 skill)
*example* my skill level is 1388, 1388/120=11.566. so 11+20=31 so using the list above i could have out a Alpha Calprates(20lvl) and Alpha Setling(10lvl)

when having a pet out you get a debuff
*1 pet* - 0
debuff `
Skill gain(-3%) Attack speed(-10%) Block(-10%) Damage dealt(-10%) Dodge(-10%) Parry(-10%)
*2 pets* - 500
debuff `
Skill gain(-10%) Attack speed(-25%) Block(-25%) Damage dealt(-25%) Dodge(-25%) Parry(-25%)
*3 pets* - 6000
debuff `
Skill gain(-??%) Attack speed(-??%) Block(-??%) Damage dealt(-??%) Dodge(-??%) Parry(-??%)

*Train mount* - 750
mounts do not count towards you pet count and do not debuff you, mounts have their own action bar and you can attack on them( Can be Learnd thourgh training cards(Card%#))

Taming Tips
So if you have met the skill requirements to tame the pet your aiming for heres some things that worked for me

Finding the baby
*some areas have a baby always spawn, for example there is always a Rocharus baby near the Rocharus Queen boss in the cave in Elkar woods
* you can find some of the dens the spawn if no baby kill and wait for them to spawn, dont kill the den
* static spawns kill til baby spawns, i prefer this to the dens because it seens the dens have a slower respawn time so you have a chance to kill and loot the den for all the short range players

Taming
*when you find the baby kill the nearby hostile if you and a friend its a bonus if not use a pet to attack any mob that attacks will taming
*use the Calm animal on the baby so it will not attack while you are taming, warning can miss!
* use the Tame animel skill, warning can miss!
>* i like the use defence stance while taming
>* you can have out max pets while taming

and if you dont feel like going through all this find another player or vender that sells them, but remeber that you have to have the skill to use the pet
Skill leveling tips
Animal handling
*note that if you out level your vet med you will not be able to Tend to animal untill the vet med reaches that skill requirement for that pet type*

  • just having out a pet will get you skill gain
  • using a learning stim will help
  • using Patch Animal
  • using Heal Animal

for me i will use a learning stim and when im out harvesting nodes in a safe area or crafting i wil use Patch&Heal animal


Vet Meds
  • crafting pet food
  • using a learning stim will help
  • healing a pet charge with Tend Animal (need bandage)

when im out harvesting nodes near hostiles i cant kill my self(breeding Drakes) ill send my pets out to distrack harvest then Tend the pets. all my meat slabs go to making pet food.

What is a learning stim and where can i obtain them?

@500 animal handling skill (AH) is when you can use 2 pets the devs show the formula as
20+ (AH Skill/120) = 20 + (4.16) = 24 (it gets rounded down)

so @ 500 you could use say an alpha raxin (20) and a young setlang (at or below 4) once the setlang matures again you will not be able to use it with the raxin untill you raise your AH skill.
or you could use 2 alpha setlangs (10 each)

This also works for robotics. For cloned pets you need a minimum of 2000 genetic engineering skill.

OWON side - Setlang, nacoot,vulture all around plymouth city , lenwood for raxin,calprates,
rorchurs underbelly(plymouth pond) though should also be in (forget zone name north plymouth moutain i think ) one block west of rorchus ridge , setlangs nacoots you can find all over, rhinocs are pretty easy to find as well but one block west of plymouth pond for sure. ligmass are up by rangers post or something like that on the east side of map.

Nice guide so far. Would be really nice if you could give us a few known areas that spawn babies for each pet.
