Caring for familiars, increasing levels

Increasing levels of your familiar is done in Guild of Familiars (Menagerie). You will need half of experience and half of gold for the appropriate level.
Experience is earned by the familiar after victories in battle (if the familiar participated in battle). The experience is divided equally between you and the familiar. If your character is already at level 540, then the experience earned by killing monsters will be given in full amount to the familiar.
Owner of the familiar has two skills available: "Summon pet" and "Hide pet".
You can find out info about the Familiar by examining yourself or the familiar (experience, satiety, etc).
Hit chance of the familiar is equal to stat of "Chance to strike" or "Chance to cast" of the character.
