With the addition of Publish 97 tameable animals can now be trained with special ability's or have their skills and stats modified in addition to the traditional Pet Training. Animal training can be done at any time in the pets life weather is freshly tamed or fully trained with maximum skills and stats. the only exception is 5 slot pets as these are considered to already be at maximum strength. Pets also now receive a special pet training power hour beginning when the pet first gains in its training progress, increasing the amount of training progress the pet normally receives from the target. The Discovering Animal Training Quest taken from any Animal Trainer NPC often found in the city stables will explain how to begin this process and will reward the character with the Title “Ethologist.”

Restricted Pets

Some creatures are restricted from the new Animal training system. they are:

Creature Classification

Some abilities can only be taught to creatures with a certain classification to see Tameables for a list. there is 6 different classifications.

  • Magical
  • Necromantic
  • Sticky Skin
  • Clawed
  • Tailed
  • Insectoid


Individual Attribute Caps

Base Damage

Base damage per second is capped based on slot level, the maximum of 22 only being attainable when options are applied to a 4 slot pet, raising it to 5 slot. You can only raise the minimum base damage not the maximum.

  • 1 slot raising to 2: 8
  • 2 slot raising to 3: 13
  • 3 slot raising to 4: 17
  • 4 slot raising to 5: 22

Base damage per second of 22 will show on the pet’s animal lore gump as base damage 24 – 33

Increased Skill Caps

You can now increase a Pets Skill Caps to 105, 110, 115 or 120 with power scrolls.

You must have the relevant Power scroll in your backpack to increase the pets skill cap when upgrading your pet.

The pets skill caps are broken into 2 categories, Magic and Combat.

Magic Skill Caps

Combat Skill Caps

Skills with no Power Scrolls

These skills don't have power scrolls and so can not be raised any higher then when the pet was tamed EG: Rune Beetle can be tamed with 120+ Poisoning skill, but other creatures that you add the poisoning skill to can't raise above GM skill as there is no power scrolls for poisoning.


Animal Training Abilities

There are four categories from which you may select abilities which will enhance your pet’s fighting capabilities.

  • Magical Abilities allow you to give the pet magical abilities in one of the Spell Schools, skills or Skill Masterys.
  • Special Abilities allow you to give them pet only special abilities.
  • Special Moves allow you to give the pet special moves, the same as found on weapon special moves.
  • Area Effects allow you to give the pet an area attack, targeting multiple enemys with an area.

Your Pet may only have a total of 3 options from 5 possibilities over the four categories:

  • 1 Magical Ability
  • 1 Special Ability
  • 2 Special Moves
  • 1 Area Effect
