It's important to note that your pet's Crafting Skill Level is different from your GoPets Level, so you should take note of both of the level requirements before you buy a book.

Once you've bought all the Level 1 Crafting Books that you want your pet to learn, double click on the book from your Inventory and select which pet you want to teach the Crafting Skill to. Once a pet has learned a Crafting Skill, access the Crafting window by clicking the Crafting button from the GoPets World Viewer:

• Tailoring: Ye Old Thread and Needle

• Fishing: Go Fish!

• Crafting: Fishing

• Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup

• Crafting: Cooking
  
• Crafting: Farming
  
• Crafting: Tailoring
  

• Farming: Farmer's Market

• Cooking: Farmer's Market

• Tailoring: Ye Old Thread and Needle

Notice they all have a Crafting Level Bar. Each new Crafter will start at 0/300 but as they practice their Crafting Skill they will progress, and most importantly, be able to cook better foods, farm better ingredients, or make nicer clothing! Users who have the September 2007 Premium items can put them out onto their desktop for an immediate +25 Crafting Skill Bonus for two of the Crafting Skills as well:

Basics of Crafting Guide

GoPets are smart and can learn their own skills! They can learn to cook, farm, or tailor clothing - whichever you prefer. To teach your GoPet how to do either of these Crafting Skills, start with picking up a book from the Farmer's Market. Farming books are blue while cooking books are red:

Each of your GoPets can learn only one Crafting Skill at a time so choose wisely! You can have your pet read the Crafting book you bought by double clicking on it from your Inventory and selecting the pet you wish to learn the skill. Once you've done that, access the Crafting window by clicking the Crafting button from the GoPets World Viewer:

There you'll find your GoPets current Crafting Level as well as the Crafting Recipes that they know. A cooking pets Crafting window will look like this:

Notice they both have a Crafting Level Bar. Each new farmer or cook will start at 0/300 but as they practice their Crafting Skill they will progress, and most importantly, be able to cook better foods or farm better ingredients!

You can also see from these Crafting window examples that the known Crafting Skills of these pets are different colors:

As your pet practices these Crafting Skills they will become easier, and overtime your pet will know them so well that they won't get any more experience from doing them, meaning they'll have to learn something new to keep leveling. Here's what the colors mean:

• Red - This is a very hard Crafting Skill for your pet. They'll get lots of experience for growing or cooking this item.
• Orange - This is a little hard for your pet. They'll get experience from growing or cooking this item but not as much as when it was hard for them.
• Green - This is easy for your pet. They'll get very little experience for growing or cooking this item.
• Gray - Your pet has perfected this Crafting Skill. They will get no experience for growing or cooking this item.
