Hi,

what would be a fair price for pet training. where e.g. for the start all skills were brought to 100 incl. healing, magery or poisoning?

Are you looking to get pet training done?
If you want it safely done, allow the trainer to bond the pet in a week.

Time spent , I would probably charge 5 - 25 m.
It's time I dont get loot / money from doing other activities.

I train pets myself and would like to know what I can take for the service.

How much money would you take e.g. for a lion with 100 Wrest, Tac, Ana, Parry, Heal, Resi, Poison?

Honestly, in any melee skills is quite easy to do if you're a skilled tamer even to 120. (shadow ellie training)
Healing and magery takes longer time and might be possible to charge more. (dimetrosaurus training)

5 - 25 for melee skills.
25 - 50 to train the harder skills.

I've seen some crazy prices beyond that, like that guy that sells trained cu's for 350-500mill and they arent even fully 9x120 scrolls, but the buyers are far between.

Time is money and training does have an opportunity cost associated with it. I think people vastly under value actual skilling animals.

Funny you said that.
Did you just read the thread title on my pet selling thread?
ROFL

and I quouted prices earlier that I think training is worth.
A lot of pet training can be done half afk while keeping an eye on the screen.
I know a lot of people struggle with skilling fast, but the good tamers have got it down to an art.

Does it warrant 100s of millions to train a pet skills? no.
10-50mill, sure. Maybe more for healing as it takes sick amount of time to 120.

Heck yes my friend! It is just like any other professions in the game, if you are good at what you are doing, you need to be paid accordingly.
Not everyone has the patience or the technique down to raise all skills to 120.
I agree, melee skills are a breeze, anyone can do it.
Any magic skill, to get it to 120, takes an enormous amount of time.
To raise a pet from level 1 or 2, it takes an enormous amount of time, unless you are tanking, even then you need vet and magery to keep the guy healed, and still ends up dying a number of times.
Any pet with dragon breath, training magic skill on that takes CRAZZZZYYYYY amounts of time

You may have your eye on the screen, that also means, haha, IRL you are paying for your computer, your monitor and your tv to be on for that period of time, HAHA.

If a lot of people can churn out multiple pets a week just afk. It doesn't warrant the price to he 100s of millions into of the basic costs.

When I got some downtime , work on other stuff I move the low cpu intensive client to my second screen and let it work. Keep an eye on it to make sure I don't get afk warning or some troll show up and kill the monsters I'm training on.

Magery to 115 is done very quickly. The remaining is another few hours. And in that time all other skills should be done.
Resist and parry is an hour of two at spellbinders even with goo as there is a way to get goo not to proc every time.

The fact is people sell their pets very often at very close to the scroll and animal price. Fully trained non the less.
I know that people who rely on this as a gold income will try to assure that this is not the case, but it is.

The current guide doesn't include all the rotations of monsters to train on to make all levels a breeze. Or what monsters to skill on.
Writing an updated a-z pet training guide would probably be more effort than doing my next 9x120.
