From UO's Wiki on Pet Ownership:
"The death of a pet is not without some penalty, 0.1 skill points will be lost from each of the pets skills for each death if it is resurrected by a tamer and by .2 if resurrected by an NPC Vet. These can be trained back up.."
After another death, friend tried to rez pet at home and was not allowed to and told to wait again. She went back to a Fel town and able to vet her pet back to life. Rune beetle perished again a third time, but she was allowed to immediately rez the pet in the dungeon. Can anyone please sxplain what is happening here?
