	To fully utilize their Gossamer training, Rangers must study creatures. Almost every creature in the islands can be studied with very few exceptions. In order to study a creature, you must initiate your study with the Gossamer's ''<tt>/use /study</tt>'' command, followed by striking the creature you wish to study.

	Learning a creature's movements is the first level of Ranger studies.

	====Befriend====		===Befriend===
	Learning to befriend a creature is the second level of studies. Unlike the first step, this one is considered a major challenge, as it requires a relatively huge amount of "lasties". It's estimated to be around 1,000 kills to learn the ''Ways of a specific creature'' (reports show that it varies from 800-1200).		Learning to befriend a creature is the second level of studies.

	Being able to assume the shape of a creature really represents the culmination of a Ranger’s studies.

	====Which Creatures to Study====		===Which Creatures to Study===
	Choosing good creatures to study is important as the decision is permanent. How to choose the ''right'' ones to study is a matter of personal preference mainly but there are a few guidelines. First, stick to creatures that are challenging to you. As you'll see below it's not "free" to study creature's movements, so make every rank count by studying creatures you vanquish or have trouble killing solo. Second, study to morph creatures that give you abilities you would like, such as very fast troilus or faster than normal movement speed.
