Editing Familiars

{{Items}}
{{Pets}}
'''Familiars''' are similar to [[pets]], however they usually cannot be controlled.  They normally do not attack.  Their primary purpose is to provide a buff, or just to look cool.  The [[Familiar Key Ring]] was introduced with the ''[[Empires of Kunark]]'' expansion to help manage them.

== Details ==
With the release of Empires of Kunark, you may now have a pet and a familiar summoned at the same time. The familiar has been removed from the pet window and the command "/pet leave" will no longer function for familiars.

You have the ability to rename your familiars. To bring up the familiar name change window, use the command "/changefamiliar." This will require the new item Potion of Familiar's Amnesia on the [[marketplace]]. Familiars will now also have a tag under their name to indicate their owner if their names have been changed.

The slash command "/familiar leave" to tell the familiar to go away. A button to the Familiar tab in the Key Rings window will tell the familiar to leave as well.

Statistic buffs have been split from familiar buffs and dismissing a familiar will now also remove the 'Summon Familiar' buff.

If you own the Familiar Key Ring feature, any illusion spells on summoned pets will persist when you zone.

These '''familiars''' may only be obtained in the game by doing quests.
