Mini Pets
The minipets are just for vanity, they won’t fight for you. The ranger class has pets(like bears, wolves,etc.) as does the necromancer that will fight for them, but elementalists don’t get a pet like that.
We can summon elementals with a utility skill an one of our elite skills, however these pets are not permenant.
Regarding the lvl40 skill book, you just gotta save up enough dough. The best way to make/save money is to not buy stuff from the trading post, collect crafting materials (ore, wood, etc.) and sell it, and sell blue/green gear to the vendor. DON’T salvage gear you find, sell it.
Hope this helps, best of luck.

Do salvage anything white that give you cloth/leather, those sell well on tp.
Also salvage stuff that gives orichalcum and ectos, they sell even better.
