 ==Interference with pets==
-====Revive====
+====3.1 Revive====
-Pets that have fallen in battle will automatically revive and return to My Home after a number of days.
+Pets that have fallen in battle will automatically revive and return to My Home after 7 of days or the next day if a resident has the ''nurse'' hobby.
 Paying a bartender in town will instantly revive a fallen pet. Talking to Fiama can revive the pet she provided you for free. Resurrection spells and scrolls can also be used to revive. However, Lay on Hands cannot revive a pet that is already dead.
-If you are unable to revive the pet and it has not returned to My Home, it may have been revived on another property you own.
+If you are unable to revive the pet and it has not returned to My Home, it may have been revived on another property you own. Keep in mind that you start in Meadow, which becomes My Home. The Vernis questline changes it to vernis. You can set My Home at the Hearth Stone.
-====Give the items====
+Fiama also revives your pet if you talk to her for a -10 affinity with her.
-You can give an item to your pet by using the trade command or by holding the item in your hand and presenting it.
-If you give them a potion, they will automatically drink it and, in the case of acid-resistant coating solution, protect their equipment.
+====3.2 Gift items====
+You can ''gift'' items by standing next them, '''holding''' (or grab as furniture if the item has a primary use. E.g. bows, potions, ...) the item and '''right clicking''' on them. If it is an engagement ring/amulet, it will increase affinity by 40. If it is a ''favorite'' item of them (see notes on their character sheet) it will increase affinity depending on value of the item (expect something around 0-7 affinity). If you hold a stack of items, it will gift only 1 at a time. NPCs you gift an item they do not like for the third time turn hostile. Gifted items are marked as gift (red triangle) and are heavily penalized (affinity and -1 karma) to take away from allies. Gifted items may end up in a shared chest if discarded (still with its gifted tag). Allies you do not host or ride may sell gifted items while in a settlement.
-Please note that once you give an item as a gift, it becomes the property of your pet, and if you take it away, your karma will be minus one.
+If you gift and NPC (allied or not) a consumable, they will automatically use it. They will reject dream larva (with heavy affinity penalty). They will use acidproof potions correctly on their equipment.
-Pets will also refuse to return Orens (which they will use for themselves) and equipment that they are using.
+Notes on pickpocketing: items are stacked in their inventory, but if you gift for example 3 iron ore (which stack), then 1 other item, then another 2 iron ore (which form their own stack), this will result in 3 different stacks, as items are placed chronologically in their invenotry. Pickpocketing removes the gifted tag from the item. Keep in mind, that you cannot pickpocket your residents (including those your take with you as allies on journeys)
-====Equip your pet with a weapon or armor====
+====3.3 Trading Items / Equip them====
-Unless otherwise specified, the pet will automatically equip equipment that is in a shared container in My Home or that the player has placed in his or her inventory with the trade command.
+You can give and take items to your companion (not allies) by using the '''trade''' command. You can only take equiped items, if affinity is at 75 or higher. Allies will not take junk and stolen non-equipable items (e.g. furniture).
-Each pet has its own preferred weapon and its equipment style (shield-wielding/two-handed/dual-wielding) and armor style (heavy/light) and chooses its equipment accordingly. The preferred weapon and style are determined by the pet's highest combat skill.
+Allies will also refuse to return Orens (which they will spend on training).
-Also, the pet will give preference to equipment that is more valuable than its performance. You can equip your pet by talking to it, prohibiting the use of shared equipment, and then using the trade command to put only the equipment you need into your inventory.
+Unless ordered not to (by "Actually..." dialogue), the NPC will automatically equip equipment that is in a shared container their home while present .They do not need to be released ("wait at home") to do that.
-While your affinity is low, your karma will decrease by 1 each time you take equipment from your pet, but by increasing your '''[[Elin:Affinity|affinity]]''', you will be able to collect it without penalty.
+Each pet has its own preferred weapon and its equipment style (shield-wielding/two-handed/dual-wielding) and armor style (heavy/light) and chooses its equipment accordingly. The preferred weapon and style are determined by the pet's highest combat skill. Also, the pet will give preference to equipment that is more valuable than its performance. You can equip your pet by talking to it, prohibiting the use of shared equipment, and then using the trade command to put only the equipment you need into your inventory.
-Note that '''If you give your pet equipment by the hand-to-hand gift method, the pet may sell off that equipment in town.''' Be sure to give the equipment you want to equip your pet with the trade command.
+While your affinity is below 75, your karma will decrease by 1 each time you take and equiped item (marked with an ''E'') from your pet.
-Also, pets can only use one ranged weapon, and other equipment is stored in a shared container. Zephyr's Wrath and Gunlance, which are melee weapons that can also shoot, count as ranged weapons.
+Gifted items can be sold in a non-player settlement by the NPC without notice.
-==== Let your pet read the spellbook ====
+Allies will use ranged weapons in their inventory, even if they cannot equip those. Only equiped ("''E''") items can be switched out with items in shared containers. Zephyr's Wrath and Gunlance, which are melee weapons that can also shoot, count as ranged weapons.
-If you present the spellbook to the pet while holding it in your hand, it will start to read it.
-If the spell is too difficult for the pet, or if it is interrupted while reading, it will fail, but otherwise it will read it properly.
+==== 3.4 Reading spellbooks ====
+If you gift the spellbook to the pet, it will use (read) it right away like all consumables. '''It will not learn spells this way!''' Only by '''[[Elin:Gene Engineering|''Gene Engineering'']]''' it can learn spells.
-Because you are holding the spellbook in your hand when you present it to the pet, there is a possibility that the pet will sell it, so it is best to be careful about this when making it read the spellbook.
+If the spell is too difficult, they will fail with the same effects, that players experiecne (you can often see this with secretraries. They generate books in their inventory as pickpocket loot, but read them right away). That NPC will train their ''Literacy'' skill, '''but will not learn new magic.'''
-'''However, even if the pet reads the spellbook, it will not learn any new magic.'''
+Reading Doujins or naughty books works as intended.
