	;Myriad Rainbow (level 79) : Unless you have a lot of cash to burn ~~and~~ you ~~really~~ want to ~~use~~ Myriad ~~Rainbow~~ in ~~a controlled situation where~~ you ~~don't want to aggro close by mobs from the AoE, don't touch the standard Myriad Rainbow at all~~.		;Myriad Rainbow (level 79) : Unless you have a lot of cash to burn you may only want to get one Myriad early on. The Fox Form version is aoe, short range, and only available in fox. The mage version is single target, long range, and only available in mage form. Your playstyle should determine which one is right for you.


	;Feral Concentration (level 79) : When the description says at the cost of being able to move for 10 seconds, what it actually means is that you yourself are stunned for 10 seconds. With this in mind, it seems like a pretty bad waste of a spark unless the tank just died and you don't mind taking aggro while the cleric quickly tries to pull the tank back together. In that case, this would make a great escape mechanism along with Bramble Hood and Soul Transfusion. What makes this really magical though is through the use of an anti-stun pot. Pop one before using this skill and voila. 10 seconds of invincibility while you get to terrorize mobs and PKers alike. If you have a nice apothecary level and don't mind making a few anti-stun pots, this skill would be a great addition to your list. The downside is the 5 minute cooldown, so it's not something you'll be able to pull often. Another 'trick' to using Feral AND being able to move around (like run from a mob!) is to cast Demon Summer Sprint then Feral. One of the benefits of Demon summer Sprint is the fact it makes you immune to all movement impairing effects for 6 seconds INCLUDING those you cast on yourself. As Feral makes you unable to move for ten seconds, it is counteracted by the Summer Sprint benefit. Just cast Summer Sprint first, maybe use pots or apo to increase health, then cast Feral for immunity to damage and be able to move.		;Feral Concentration (level 79) : When the description says at the cost of being able to move for 10 seconds, what it actually means is that you yourself are stunned for 10 seconds.

	;Frost Scarab (level 29) : The general consensus is that it's not a bad spell per say, but the 1 spark cost is very costly, at least until you gain your 3rd spark. The frostbite chances are too low to justify the usage unless you get the Sage version which shoots up the 80% chance of freeze to a 95%.

			Save up some money and buy a tome. Those will prevent your pet from getting hungry. You'll still have to feed your pet when it dies and when you first hatch it to get it's loyalty up initially, but you won't have to feed it every 5 minutes. Don't bother with the Arcane Pet Book in the Boutique; it only lasts a week and doesn't give extra stats, which every other tome in the game does. If you're having trouble affording a tome, try looking for the Christmas Blessing, it's the cheapest one available.

+Venomancers are separated from the other magic classes by their ability to tame and use pets in battle. You'll get the ability to tame a pet at Lv. 7 after you complete the quests given by the Pet Skill Trainer Hu. To get over the question, "What is the best pet in the game?" early, buy battle pet packs until you get 9999 Source of Forces and 9999 Phoenix Feathers so you can start the game with a [[Baby Hercules|Hercules]] and a Phoenix, unarguably the best two pets in the game. If you're on a budget like the rest of us, you'll have to go through it the harder way.

+I would recommend you to start with the Scorpion as the starter pet because endgame, it'll have the highest attack rating outside of the Cash Shop pets. Even if you get the Phoenix later on, the Varicose Scorpion ('''Lv. 2''') would still be pretty nice to have when you feel like PKing in Secret Passage where flying pets will be disabled. However, it's not an essential pet if you're not interested. In City of the Lost, you'll probably be seeing people selling Volcanic ('''Lv. 18''')/Crystalline Magmites ('''Lv. 17''') and Petite Sawflys ('''Lv. 8'''). Until you get enough money for the Cash Shop pets, go ahead and purchase those so you can save yourself some time on traveling and effort to catch those pets if you are lazy. The Volcanic Magmite is .1m/s faster than the Crystalline Magmite and comes with better skills. The Crystalline Magmite will have marginally higher stats, so it's really just a matter of preference for deciding which one you want. Skills, although fairly expensive, can be purchased for pets, but stat points cannot. The main purpose of a pet is to tank for a Veno, and a Magmite does this job quite well. If you can get your hands on a Shaudo Cub, it could work as a great tank in place of either Magmites.

+The Sawfly is the budget Phoenix. You'll need it to do your air and even water quests, since it's possible to lure water mobs to the surface for a flying pet to attack it. The alternate is a Foxwing, which has lower attack ratings but higher defensive ratings. Investing in a Windwalking Piggy for its tanking capabilities isn't a bad option either. With the listed pets, you're pretty much set until Lv. 80 when you finally get a decent water pet and the water quests start going too deep in the water for you to fish with your flying pet. The particular water pet is the Celestial Plumpfish, which is actually a very nice pet with pretty decent stats. If you really have the patience to consistently raise a low level water pet though, go for it. Otherwise, another alternative to complete your collection with a water pet is to catch a random water pet around your level to complete your water quests if you don't like fishing with an air pet.

+Some Venos also carry pets for specific purposes, such as a luring pet or a ranged pet, which includes the Cactopod and Eldergoth families. The trick is to make sure no skills are selected for the pet to use, so it'll resort to using ranged attacks. A luring pet would be any fast running pet used for the purpose of drawing out an individual target within a group of targets, which will be explained in detail later.

+Most Venomancers get their Cash Shop pets around Lv. 60 or so. Go ahead and start saving up as soon as you start playing and no need to bother wasting money on equipment since you'll outgrow your stuff in a short amount of time anyways. Not to mention that since your pet will be tanking for you, you can potentially do well enough without wearing any armor at all. Most people choose to aim for a [[Baby Hercules|Hercules]] first since you can farm Twilight Temple materials that you can sell. It's a great plan, although how much money you make depends on the market. If you don't like relying on the in-game market and don't mind grinding endlessly for cash, go ahead and get the Phoenix first, since it'll improve your killing speed by 50% or something like that. Or you can save yourself 40 million coins altogether and just stick with the free pets.
