Editing Introduction to Venomancers (section)

==Pet Skills==

As a venomancer it is not only important to have the right pets, it is equally important to ensure that your pets have the right skills.


===Choosing Pet Skills===

A battle pet can be taught up to four skills and while your selection of skills will be a personal preference, these are some of the skills that you should take into consideration.

'''Note:''' Skill recommendations are based on pet skill scrolls that can be purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Zoologist (rare pet skills are not listed).


===Upgrading Your Pet's Skills===

All pet skills start at level one and can be upgraded up to level five. Your pet must however meet certain level requirements before you can upgrade its skills.

In order to upgrade a skill that your pet already has, you must purchase a Tame Book from Mrs. Zoologist (586, 620) or Mr. Zoologist (586 649).

Once you have a Tame Book in your inventory, summon the pet whose skills you wish to upgrade (land and air pets at Mrs. Zoologist and water pets at Mr. Zoologist). Next, speak with Mr. or Mrs. Zoologist and choose "Learn Pet Skills". This will list all of the skills that you can upgrade as well as the spirit that it will cost to do so. Simply click on the icon of the desired skill and it will increase its level by one. You can repeat this process again if you have the necessary number of Tame Books in your inventory and your pet has the required level. 


===Teaching Your Pet New Skills===

In order to teach your pet a new spell, you will need a Pet Skill Scroll. Basic Pet Skill Scrolls can be purchased from Mrs. Zoologist and Mr. Zoologist however rare Pet Skill Scrolls can only be obtained from the Temple of the Dragon (an instance that appears once a week) or other players. When you have the desired Pet Skill Scroll in your inventory, talk to Mr. or Mrs. Zoologist and choose "Learn Pet Skills". Your desired skill should be listed. 


If your pet already has four skills, you will need to forget one of these four skills in order to learn a new one. To unlearn a pet skill first purchase a Forget Scroll from Mr. or Mrs. Zoologist.

Forget Scroll
| '''Description'''
| '''Cost'''
|-
| Make a pet forget a skill it has already mastered.
| 100,000 coins
|}


Once you've purchased a Forget Scroll choose "Forget Pet Skill" at Mr. or Mrs. Zoologist. This will display a list with all of your pet's current skills. Click on your skill of choice to unlearn it. Note: Forgetting a pet skill will not revert it back into a Pet Skill Scroll, instead it will permanently erase the skill from your pet panel so choose carefully.
