A guide should pop up. Click the tab that says 'pets' to the right.
- It will show a number and a picture of an animal. The number to the left of the animal is the summoning level required for the respective animal.
4
Try starting out with a kitten if you have only 4 summoning. Go to a pet store. Just ask around for where one is.

Go to the pet store, buy a pet, and voila!

If you want a raven for a pet, you will have to cut down Evergreens (they count as normal trees) until a nest with an egg appears in it. Take the egg to the pet store, incubate it, and wait for it to hatch!
