This sale will run up until
next week’s maintenance. Details are at the bottom of this post. Pets can contribute to your damage dealing power in more ways than
simple auto attacks. However, before your pet can become an enraged
death dealing machine, you’re going to want to unlock its fullest
potential. This guide will show you how you to unlock and alter skill
slots attached to your pet, and turn it into something that will make
your friends love you, and your enemies hate you.
All pets come with one open skill slot, although which skill type it
will be is randomly generated. In order to open the remaining five
sealed skill slots, you must first use seal removal stones. Seal
removal stones can be acquired in several different ways, the quickest
and easiest of which is through the marketplace. Other methods of
acquiring seal removal stones are the daily Bounty Hunter event, and
some specific quests give seal removal stones as well. You can also buy
them from player shops in Atlantis Square.
So you’ve got some seal removal stones. Now you’re going to want to
talk to Ligg (113, 193) in Atlantis Square. Select “Unlock skill slot”
from the list of choices. From here, you’re going to select which pet
you want to unlock slots for. I’ve selected my giant crab for this
example. Drag your seal removal stones into the box at the bottom, and
then press the “remove seal” button at the bottom of the window. Each
seal removal stone has a chance to remove a seal, so keep trying until
you get the desired number of skill slots unlocked.
Alright, so you’ve unlocked all six slots, but you didn’t get any of
the attack slots you wanted. Never fear, for the Universe Emblem item
exists which will allow you to reroll the type of skill assigned to a
slot. Universe Emblems can be gotten in the same ways that seal removal
stones are, through the marketplace, bounty hunter event, quest
rewards, and player shops.
Each universe emblem is good for one reroll. The results you get
from each reroll is random. In order to use your Universe Emblems, talk
to Ligg (the same person you use for pet skill unlocking), and select
“alter pet skill slot”. Drag your Universe Emblems into the box at the
bottom. Next, select which skill slot you want to reroll by clicking on
it on the bar of skills your pet has unlocked. Once you’re ready,
click “confirm” and the slot will be rerolled. You can reroll slots
that already have skills in them, but the skill will be erased.
So you’re slots are all unlocked, you’ve got the perfect spread of
skill types, and now you’re ready to start loading the proverbial
barrels of your pets death dealing capabilities. The first thing you’re
going to need are the actual skills that fit into each of the slots
you’ve perfected. You can buy some basic skills from Zuriel (108, 915)
right next to Ligg in Atlantis Square, but the skills are exactly like
they sound – basic. The “advanced” versions of skills are obtained
through the marketplace, some events like Dragon Island and Rainbow
Sonata, or, as always, through player shops in Atlantis Square.
Slotting your skills is a simple process. Simply talk to Ligg again
and select “Learn pet skills”. Choose the pet you want to add skills
to from the list, and then drag the skill you’ve gotten for your pet out
of your inventory and into the box at the bottom of the window. You
will then have to select which slots you want to put the skill into.
The skill types must match, so attack skills can only slot into attack
skill slots, special skills can only go into special slots, and so on.
Do not try to use two skills of the exact same type, i.e. don’t try to
slot advanced illusion blade twice – your pet won’t use the skill twice
as fast or gain any benefit whatsoever.
Once you’re sure you want to slot your skill, click “Learn” at the
bottom, and voila! Your pet will consume the skill and add it to its
repertoire. Repeat this process as many times as you need to until
you’re satisfied that your pet has reached its fullest potential.
Skills that are not used by the pet automatically will be added to a
separate skill bar located near the lower right of the screen. You will
have to click these skills manually to use them. Many special skills
are manually cast in this fashion.
Easy enough, right? To celebrate a new age of pet skill
understanding, BoI will be having an advanced attack pet skill sale!

Removal Stones and Universe Emblems are on sale as well, for up to 50%
