A young tamer needs training advice.

[Terra~Blight]

I've been playing for almost a month now and have a tamer with 87 taming / 104 lore (and a bracelet that gives +15 taming when i need it). I have several pets that i'm working with that i'd like to train to 5 slots. I probably haven't chosen the best pets out there, but I plan to fill my stables with all sorts. These will be my first practice runs in pet training.

First, I have a bake kitsune (3 slot) that is at 95% training and finally bonded to me. I'm nearing the point where I will have to decide what to put points into. My kitsune has 100 in all skills, 90 magery, 65ish detect, and 80 resist. I've read that these skills may cause my kitsune to jump immediately to 5 slots, causing me to lose an entire round of training. Is this still true?

Second, I have a fairly fresh unicorn (2 slot) and a very fresh giant beetle (1 slot). Between all 3 pets, should I approach their points in a similar way? Is it better to specialize them? Is there a priority to the stats/resists/etc.. that I should put in?

I'm sure I haven't given enough information, but i'd like to give this as a starting point. Thank you for any help and advice!

Those dont jump (Bake and unicorn). They are underpowered.

Good starter pets. You cant ruin them because they are useless already.

Heres a starter template. Generic Starter Template For Cu like pets.

An early thread on the giant beetle. A Giant Beetle

You can train on the crazed mage in Shame right away.

I can show you a couple unicorns that are by no means underpowered. Next up a bake...(we'll probably not for awhile)

Thank you for the information and links!

Know that as you level up pets, the taming requirements go up. May want to work on getting some higher taming skill and lore
or at least get jewels to bump you up to 120 taming and lore.
