Pet Trainer
Getting Started
Pet Trainer is a specialist which helps you catch and improve pets.
Head to Pet Trainer Lucy on NosVille to get your hands on the Specialist Card via a questline after 80Lv.
After you put on the Specialist, you can jump straight into action.
You can tame monsters with a Tameable icon on mob info. Just reduce their HP and use your Tame skill.
The tamed pet will now be yours, and you can do three things with them: Train, Evolve, Extract.
Evolving and extracting pets are the only ways to level up your Pet Trainer SP.
You can see the Pet Trainer SP Skills here.
Train
Your pets now have a new way to progress: Training Level.
By using the , or Summon Strong Sparring Monster, you can summon monsters that will attack and give XP to your pet.
You require , or Sparring Monster Cage sold by our Pet Trainer Lucy to use these skills.
As your pet trains with the Sparring Monsters and reaches higher TLevels, they will gain increased stats and unlock new skills.
You can train your pets by leaving them in your Miniland with a sparring monster and continuing your gameplay.
Evolve
Training Level is capped at ten times the pet's star-grade.
For example, a 1-star pet can only reach +10, which doesn't boost the stats much.
And all pets start as 1-star. So you will need to grind for their star grade, too.
When your pet reaches the maximum TLevel, you can use the Evolve skill.
Doing so will boost your pet's star-grade by one and reset its TLv so you may repeat the steps.
Pets can have a maximum of 6-stars and +60.
Extract
Evolving requires Pet Essences, which are obtained by extracting pets.
If you extract a pet, you will lose it and obtain one essence for their respective star-grade.
You will use these essences for evolving other pets.
Shop pets are unextractable to avoid accidental extractions.
New Skills
Trained pets will gain two new skills, one at +10 and the other at +20.
There are six possible skills to get, and they offer different tools for your pet, such as luring and healing.
As you train your pet more, one of these skills will level up, at random, five more times.
If you do not like how your pet's skills turned out, you can reset them after reaching +60 and start training again.

Pet Trainer Bead
Putting the pets into Pet Bead will reset the evolution and training progress.
If you wish to keep their star-grade, you will need to use Pet Trainer Bead.
This special bead will keep their star-grade, but still reset its Training Level and skills.
Conclusion
The new skill system promotes diversity in pets used in everyday gameplay, as you will have access to some kitting skills with any pet.
It's intended as an end-game gold sink, nothing newer players should focus on.
Completing all Pet Tamer achievements will also get you the new Master title.
