Hello Ian
It would be a great thing if there was a place where one gets for his pet Learnables. Like gourmet food, but not so easy. a temple/pyramid (or an underground cave with a library) with 50 levels, which is expensive and difficult, sort of like a goal. I am very much in favour to make heavy and expensive such a temple, such as sewer or Flash.
for the individual level specific tasks or requirements to meet are: send your pet on the University, school, have certain knowledge-stats. Your pet must have 1 or more jobs. It should be so and so many books / CD's / DVD's / have read, heard or seen.
in the lower levels, the pet could meet a treasure hunter/librarian, for a fee of 25 k - 100 k, you get spread out a knowledge booster directly given the pet and random (1-10) stats: school, University, Olympic...
At the higher levels, tasks might like: have x - time missions such as Tarquin, troll, Trotter, theatre.
in these tasks, you can get appropriate rewards as: books, CD's, DVD's, or musical instruments.
Another variation: from a higher level one chooses the direction: book, CD or DVD according to the last levels are aligned.
At the end of the temple you may choose an old rare book, CD, DVD or an expensive musical instrument, given the pet directly (similar to gourmet food).
Another variant: elsewhere in Mara (for example) at the emergent, fishing or the Poison Pit has a lamp that is a prerequisite for the use. Lighting you need special candles that must be there E.g. found or purchased at the treasure hunter/librarian. These include number of levels or a certain period of time only for a conscience. After that, new candles must be found. These could be fought for by a trading from the middle of the level.
