FAQ/Zoologist
Mrs Zoologist
To use a pet collar to name a pet - have the collar in your inventory, and the pet STOWED. Drag the pet into the box she gives you, put in a name and confirm. (The button will be greyed out until you type in a name - no nameless pets allowed)
To FORGET a skill Have a 'forget scroll' in your inventory. Have your pet standing next to you. Choose "Forget pet skill" Choose the skill you want to lose. Confirm.
To add, or level up a skill Have the skill scroll you wish to use in your inventory. (Or the 'tame pet' skill if you want to increase the level of an existing skill) Have your pet standing next to you. Choose "Teach your pet skills" Choose the skill you want to add to that pet. Confirm.
Levelling up skills Costs 5k spirit per level. (So 5k to go to level1, 10k to go to level2 etc.) And requires a minimum level - 1, 20, 40, 60, 80. (Except pounce and some of the other rare skills which only have two levels)
If you do something wrong when at the zoologist, she TELLS you what you need to do. It's not hard!
