=== Buying and Upgrading Skills ===

Pets, when tamed, come with a set of skills. Sometimes there is only one, like the starting pet, or four skills. Four is the maximum number of skills one pet can have. Obviously, not all skills the pets come with suit everyone's playing style and sometimes adding new skills or deleting old ones to add new ones is essential for the performance of the pet.

Pet skills can be brought from two NPC located in Archosaur, '''Mrs Zoologist''' (587 620) and '''Mr Zoologist''' (586 649). The latter is underwater and is commonly used to teach water pets skills (because water pets can only be summoned underwater). Prices of the pet skills are between 150,000 coins to 300,000 coins depending on the skill. Pet skills can also be bought in the '''Auction House''' (sold by other players) and I highly recommend it as you will often find the pet skills for a lower price than those at the Mrs Zoologist.

Pet skills can be upgraded every 20 levels and there are 5 levels in total for most skills (some skills may have have only 2 levels). Level 1 of each skill can be taught to any pet under level 20. Level 2 of each skill can be taught to any pet under level 40. Level 3 of each skill can be taught to any pet under level 60. Level 4 of each skill can be taught to any pet under level 80 and, finally, level 5 of each skill can to taught to any pet of level 80 and above. Therefore, the core levels for upgrading pet skills are 20, 40, 60 and 80. In order to upgrade a pet's skill a '''Tame Book''' is required. A tame book can be bought at any Zoologist for 200,000 coins. An important note that shall be mentioned here is that there are pets who appear to have skills that normally their level range wouldn't allow them to have. Such pet is the Lunar Wolf that comes with Howl level 5 despite being below level 80.

If one wishes to remove an existing skill from a pet, a '''Forget Scroll''' is required. A forget scroll can be bought at any Zoologist for 100,000 coins.

There are some rare pet skills that are referred to as '''Legendary Pet Skills'''. Those are rare pet skill scrolls that can be found in the weekly event Temple of the Dragon. There is a chance to get a scroll by digging the chests. Usually players will put them in the Auction House for sale but be aware that these skills are expensive and prices can be between 5 million to 20 million coins.
