ok so i am working on a veno and am missing something. how do you get new skills for your pets? i remember reading somewhere that you can buy some of them from trainers but i cant find anyone that sells them. i read the guides and either missed that part or it is absent because it should be so simple that no one should need to ask (except for me obviously)
do pets have to be a certain level to get new skills?
how many skills can any one pet have?
how do you upgrade them?

and for after the very simple answer that someone is sure to post i say "D'oh!"

    You can buy them from the Zoologist in S.E. Archosaur. There are rarer skill scrolls for your pets which you can only get from Dragon Temple event or from other players.

    A pet can only have four skills.

    You need a tame scroll to upgrade skills. You can upgrade a pet scroll every 20 levels.

    To add to that. Level 1 of a skill can be trained at level 1 on a pet, then at level 20, 40, 60, and 80 the max level the pet can have in a skill goes up by one. Most skills have a max level of 5, however some are less. Boost has a max of 3, and Pounce has a max of 2 for example. The scrolls on Mrs Zoologist will range from 150k to 900k depending on the skill in question. If you're trying to plan in advance for skills, you can check the AH and see if you can find a skill cheaper than that. For example, I found Toxic Mist (scroll name is Toxin though) for my Magmite for 50k, had I bought it off Mrs Zoologist it would have cost me I think 300k. Training skills will also cost you spirit, different skills cost different amounts. When you upgrade skills you'll need a tame book which costs 200k. All skills use this book, so 1 level of any skill will cost 200k to increase. There's also a spirit cost to upgrade the skill.

    thanks. that helped tremendously.
    now can anyone point me to a full list of pet skills with description?
    ive looked at ecatomb but it shows one skill at a time, im hoping for a full list or an excel file type thing.
