Animal Lore

"It is not so hard determining the thought and action patterns for creatures. I've done it all my life. You have to respect them. You have to respect their needs, and drives, and the environment in which they choose to live. Then you make your mind a blank, and let yourself melt ... merge ... mingle with the Trueness ... the Realness ... which is the creature. You ignore the itchy parts and concentrate on the deeper nature, that which makes a deer a deer ... a wolf a wolf ... an eagle an eagle. You go deeper, and as you fall, you rise higher. Past the trees ... the hills ... the douds. One deer is all deer .. . one wolf all wolves ... one eagle all eagles. You wrap yourself in the fur and feathers and you search out the hungers ... the fears ... the longings. You become all .. . the grass and the trees ... the small flowers and the mountains. Then you take all that Truth and you hold it out in front of you. You see the lacework pattern of their souls, all interwoven. You take that lace and you carefully, carefully fold it over and over until it is a small packet you can hold in your hand. And then you open your eyes, and you understand. Of course, I'll admit it's much easier if you can get a trace of their aura pattern first."

Animal Taming

Animal Lore affects your ability to control a tamed creature. It does not increase the chance of successful tame.

Using the skill directly on a tamed creature shows you a listing of its stats, resists, skills and elemental damage distribution. It can also be used to find out certain information about animals, such as what foods they eat.

Veterinary

Animal Lore is used as a passive skill in conjunction with Veterinary and Animal Taming.

To cure followers with bandages, you must have 60.0 Animal Lore and 60.0 Veterinary.

Veterinary increases the damage healed from your followers with bandages.

Training

Activate the skill via macro or skill button and target a tamable creature. You can gain from repeating upon the same creature.
