Indeed. However, Familiar Communication & Familiar Recovery are only applicable and usable after one tames a Familiar, the actual skill to tame one is based on luck. This works both for and against a tamer. They can farm a single mob to raise the skill in the hopes of taming one of those, or that person can just raise it as normal as they do everything else and randomly tame one along the way. 

This results in people sometimes getting one they want, and sometimes they don't.
