Veterinary
Animals · Skill guide
Heal, cure and resurrect eligible pets with bandages. Maximum skill: 120 with Power Scrolls; useful alongside Animal Lore.
Summary
- Use: Double-click bandages and target an injured animal; stay nearby until treatment finishes.
- Curing needs 60 Veterinary and 60 Animal Lore; resurrection needs 80 in both and an eligible dead pet.
- Outside player combat, Greater Heal on a real controlled pet uses Veterinary and Animal Lore too.
- Animal Lore below 100 halves the enhanced PvM pet-healing amount.
Training
Set Veterinary to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.
| Skill Range | Recommended Activity |
|---|---|
| 0–50 | Buy an optional lesson from an Animal Trainer for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0. |
| 50–100 | Bandage an injured eligible animal, such as your own horse. It must need treatment. |
| 100–120 | Keep treating eligible animals after unlocking the higher caps. |
Above 100, use matching Power Scrolls in order: 105, 110, 115, then 120. They unlock caps without granting skill points.
Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.
Mechanics & Scaling
Against a living player-owned pet in PvM, both Veterinary bandages and Greater Heal use Veterinary with Animal Lore. Bandage delay scales from eight seconds at Animal Lore 0 to four seconds at 100. Lore below 100 halves the healing amount. With at least 80 Veterinary and 80 Animal Lore, Veterinary can resurrect a Level 2+ bonded pet on site. It preserves skills, stats, level, XP, bonding and Pet Abilities. Player healing and pet healing during active or recent PvP keep their separate rules.
| Threshold / Stat | Effect / Scaling |
|---|---|
| Veterinary 80 · Lore 100 | 66–83 HP in 4 seconds |
| Veterinary 100 · Lore 100 | 80–100 HP in 4 seconds |
| Veterinary 120 · Lore 100 | 100–120 HP in 4 seconds |
Additional rules & notes
- With Animal Lore 100, clean PvM pet bandages restore 80–100 HP at Veterinary 100, or 100–120 HP at Veterinary 120.
- Curing and resurrection follow their own chance checks; a cure does not also heal HP.
- Pet healing during player combat uses separate rules.
