Why go with Animal Lore at all?
Would it not be more Rangerly like not to mention give the rangers an opporutnity to have a greatly expanded use of this skill if it was...
Nature Lore... or Wilderness Lore...
Instead? It could be expanded to include not just animals but plants as well. This combined with the Alchemy skill can enable a skilled Nature Lore ranger to brew extra strong healing potions/rangents not to mention create various skills and of course help them forage rarer or better quality ingreadients as a result of having this skill?? Are Rangers not experts in wilderness lore in general not just animals but Fauna but Flora as well?
Not a Ranger player myself but this seems like above would give an opportunity to really give that skill some range and possibilities.

From what I hear, they have plans for future uses of Animal Lore. It has been speculated, for traders anyway, that animal lore may factor into personnally owned caravans.

The stuff about plants and stuff is already covered by...the foraging skill. The animal lore skill would allow multiple guilds and or systems to be implemented to use this skill. Rangers with the companion system and traders with pack animals and caravans. The horse system improved and possibly a pet system could be implemented by using this skill too.

So... just checking - No real viable way to learn this still as a non ranger?
As a lore primary MM I'm looking for lores to learn... and musics bore me terribly.
Leeches train a little from what I've gathered.
I have a horse that hasn't been out of the stables in probley five years... I'm faster without him really... but if he would train animal lore half way decently?
I could fish... I generally don't, though I should find a way to train foraging again (I think my 154 is outside the range fishing teaches though?) how high/well will fishing teach animal lore?

My Empath got 62 animal lore ranks from Fishing when she was still a commoner. I imagine she'd have more at this point if she could still use the fishing system. Fishing should still teach you foraging, though I'm not sure how well. My Thief still learns decently from fishing at ~100 ranks. I can't imagine it completely stops teaching between 100 and 150 ranks.
I have no idea how high fishing teaches animal lore, of course, but if you just want to train it for giggles fishing is the second-best way.
The best way to learn animal lore these days is classes, of course.

I could still mind lock foraging eventually with 297 foraging. That was with recasting the line every 5 to 8 seconds. Lots of scroll makes it kind of annoying though. But with low enough ranks in animal lore you can mind lock that too. I should try again now that I've trained animal lore up via classes.

Hmm... well fishing locked me right up with 154 foraging. Lot better then anything else I ever found since the old foraging system came out (I seem to recall that being like "Well... forget this, I don't need this skill anymore" and I coasted for years off what I already had). Wonder how high it'll take me, and how well the animal lore will keep up. Certainly didn't lock up as fast as the foraging, even at well... now 3 ranks

As a Bard (450 Foraging, tert and 110 AL, prime) I can lock both skills with little effort. Granted Foraging will always lock first, but I can still get them both moving pretty well from fishing. 90s mentals if that matters.
