Animals · Skill guide
Uses bandages to heal and resurrect eligible animals and supports Beastmaster power.
Recommended activities for Veterinary at each skill range.
View the training tableHeal eligible animal companions with bandages. This is the pet equivalent of Healing and works together with Animal Lore.
Maximum skill: 120 with a matching Power Scroll. It starts with a 100 cap. Scrolls unlock 105, 110, 115 or 120; you still train the points and keep the same shared total of 720.
Which value counts? These numbers use the effective skill: the value after applicable skill bonuses or penalties. This can differ from your trained base value. Bless changes your stats; it does not directly add trained skill points. Pet-bandage amount uses effective Veterinary up to 120 and effective Animal Lore. Beastmaster supporting-skill power uses base Veterinary up to its target of 100.
If a step says to use a skill, open your character window, choose Skills and use the button beside that skill. If it says to use a tool, double-click the tool in your backpack. Passive benefits work automatically.
Read the conditions above each table. A percentage may describe a chance, a damage component or a multiplier: those are different things. The other values stay fixed unless the table says otherwise.
What the skill affects: These numbers use the effective skill: the value after applicable skill bonuses or penalties. This can differ from your trained base value. Bless changes your stats; it does not directly add trained skill points. Pet-bandage amount uses effective Veterinary up to 120 and effective Animal Lore. Beastmaster supporting-skill power uses base Veterinary up to its target of 100.
Eligible pet, no slips or healing penalties. Each clean treatment takes 4 seconds. Fractions of HP are rounded down.
| Effective Veterinary | HP restored |
|---|---|
| 80 | 22–27 |
| 90 | 23–28 |
| 100 | 25–30 |
Lore below 100 halves the result and makes the treatment take 8 seconds. Current Dex and Bless do not speed up this ordinary pet-bandage branch.
At 80 Veterinary and 80 Animal Lore, a Level 2+ bonded dead pet can be resurrected on site. No permanent pet skill, stat, level, XP, bonding or Pet Ability loss is applied.
Only the skill in the first column changes unless the table says otherwise. Each extra trained point still uses one point from your shared total of 720.
In the combat calculations described here, progress above 100 counts at half strength against another player: 110 contributes as 105, and 120 as 110. Your trained skill stays unchanged. The same rule covers these calculations when fighting another player’s pet or helping a participant in player combat.
Animal Lore 100, valid pet, no slips or penalties. Each clean treatment takes 4 seconds and cannot exceed missing HP.
| Veterinary | PvM treatment | Pet involved in PvP |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 25–30 HP | 25–30 HP |
| 110 | 26–31 HP | 25–30 HP |
| 120 | 27–33 HP | 26–31 HP |
The PvP column also applies when helping another player’s fighting pet. Animal Lore below 100 halves ordinary treatment and makes it slower. Beastmaster supporting power already reaches its Veterinary target at 100.
For a bandage whose base roll is 30, with Animal Lore 100 and no slips, Veterinary 50 gives 22 HP, Veterinary 100 gives 30 and Veterinary 120 gives 33. Rolls can be lower, and healing stops at the pet’s maximum HP.
One recommended activity for each skill range, with a short note on what you need.
Before you start: set Veterinary to Up and leave room under the shared 720-point total. Set an unwanted skill to Down if the total is full.
NPC training: when the trainer listed for this skill offers a lesson, the fixed price is 300 gold and the lesson can reach 50.0 if both the individual and total caps have room.
Training area: supported Academy actions receive 5× normal gain through 80.0. An action still needs to run a real skill check; the Academy bonus cannot make an automatic or blocked action train.
Beyond 100: consume the matching 105, 110, 115 or 120 Power Scroll first. A scroll raises only the individual cap; it grants no trained points and does not increase the shared 720-point total.
Repeat the single activity listed for your level. These are practical training choices; the ranges are recommendations, not new unlock requirements.
| Your skill | What to repeat | Quick note |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0–50.0 | Animal Trainer lesson | Optional NPC lesson; 300 gold when offered and room under your caps. |
| 50.0–80.0 | Bandage an injured Academy animal | Complete treatment of an eligible animal. |
| 80.0–100.0 | Bandage your injured horse | Complete treatment of an eligible animal. |
| 100.0–120.0 | Bandage your injured horse | Complete treatment of an eligible animal. |
Species strength does not set bandage training difficulty. Full-health targets, interrupted treatments and failed cure/resurrection early returns do not award these completion checks.
Pet bandage healing combines Veterinary with Animal Lore. At Animal Lore 100+, bandage delay falls from eight to four seconds. With at least 80 Veterinary and 80 Animal Lore, Veterinary can resurrect a Level 2+ bonded pet on site. It preserves skills, stats, level, XP, bonding and Pet Abilities.
| Skill or situation | What it means |
|---|---|
| Veterinary 50 · Lore 100 | 22 healing from base 30 |
| Veterinary 100 · Lore 100 | 30 healing from base 30 |
Listed amounts describe the stated conditions. Equipment, target rules, damage, healing limits and other effects can change the final result. An example of a chance is never a promise of the same outcome on every attempt.
