How to use

Select Animal Lore and target an animal to inspect its attributes and taming information.

Volantis-specific rules

Meet both Animal Taming and Animal Lore minima shown on the mount card; they range from 55.1 to 100.0 by species. The animal’s taming difficulty is a separate value, not a success percentage. Animal Lore also supports Veterinary.

How do I raise it?

Active skills can be used from 0.0. Recipes and special abilities retain their own skill requirements; Teacher training is optional. Skill gain chance after a valid completed use %50; a successful gain adds 0.1 points.

1. Select Animal Lore, target a nearby animal and wait for the examination to finish.
2. Repeat this action to study animals. Animal Lore and Animal Taming are separate skills; a taming attempt does not guarantee gains in both.

Progress and Real Skill Value

Set the skill lock to increase. The individual skill cap is 100 and the total cap is 700; when the total is full, set another skill to decrease. Learning is rolled independently for every valid use, so gains are not guaranteed on every attempt unless the chance is 100%. Skill gain is disabled in designated safe areas.

The Skills screen shows your real skill value. Eligible skills below 30 can be trained by the Teacher; further progress comes from valid actions for that skill. A stat lock does not lock skill gain.
