Input needed: "Instance Taming Bug" NPCs

Unread post by Wain »

This thread is for listing NPCs that are flagged tameable but cannot be due to that instance taming bug.

Also a list of ones that seem to be tameable on some difficulties but not others.

Currently I don't know of any that weren't fixed. Yay! (There used to be a list here but it was deleted as they were fixed)

But please post here if you find any we missed. Thanks! :)

Since many dungeon tames finally got fixed, the nighthold scorpid has a couple bugs, run animations and the missing stinger since their ability is deadly sting, and if there are other bugs, we should put them here too

Blackrock Foundry:
- Ironcrusher is tameable, and keeps its name when tamed.

The Arcway:
- Enchanted Broodling is tameable.
- Vicious Manafang (dangling ones from trash packs) is tameable.
- Taming any of the above two causes Nal'tira to bug out and not descend when the rest are killed. Had to reset the instance.
- Vicious Manafang (boss add) is tameable.

Vault of the Wardens:
- Barbed Spiderling is tameable.

I'll check Maw of Souls when Shroudseeker's world quest is up.

Shroudseeker is already known as tameable on wowhead since at least November 4th 2020, though it keeps its name now.
Shroudseeker's Shadow is flagged tameable, but is considered a minion that is already being controlled. You can not tame it.

Thanks heaps for all your work! :)

I spent a bit of time testing out things that remain and have reduced the list to a small number now.

Of the things left, most are in Island Expeditions (which I can't queue for and may require the right weeks for them to appear), and one is in Antorus (which seems to be closed on the PTR as it was in the Beta :P)

Valnaaros has created a list of IE bugged tames that we missed, so I'll put that up tomorrow.

Just an update: we need to revisit this issue as I never got around to compiling a list of "partially tameable" instance pets, i.e. ones that are currently tameable only in certain difficulties (usually normal / 10 normal).

Some I can think of:
Precious (Naxx)
Stinky (Naxx)
Gluth (Naxx)
Tsulong (Terrace of Endless Spring)
Fel Steed (SFK)
Gorestained Piglet (Waycrest)
Azure Serpent (Shado-Pan Monastery)

Are there any others?

I haven't had time to test them on the PTR yet, so I'm unsure if they were fixed. They definitely weren't on our bug list, though.

Update: Tsulong can be tamed in Heroic 25 on the PTR. So maybe it's fixed, despite not being included in our bug list.
Azure Serpent can be tamed in Heroic as well.

We still can't do them solo. But generally it is pretty fast getting in if you just queue for normal. You don't need a premade group for it.

I didn't know people still did normals, let alone leveling people. Also, I just saw you lol.

Edit: These can't be tamed;
- Frostscale Broodmother (Hydra)
- Ano, Forest Keeper (Stag)
- Greathorn Uwanu (Stag)
- Scythehorn (Gruffhorn)
- Shredmaw the Voracious (Crocolisk)
- Chittering Spindleweb (Spider)
- Wandering Behemoth (Turtle) ((I want this guy for his name alone))
- Azurespine (Not labeled with Beast Lore, should be Rodent)
- Clattershell (Crab)
- Wavespitter (Crab)
- Gloamhoof the Elder (Stag)
- Mistfur (Gorilla)
- Old Longtooth (Oxen)
- Luminous Crawuler (Crab)
- Doting Calfmother (Oxen)
- Stonehorn the Charger (Stag)
- Razorback (Turtle)
- Gorgejaw the Glutton (Serpent)

EXTREME fair warning; the "Misty Portal" in Kvaldir invasions will softlock you; you can't leave the ship if you teleport there.

Also, not sure if you noticed, but low levels absolutely murder anything they attack. Level 10 hunter just instagibbed a rare elite. Good thing I break off and avoid being near them.
