Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!
I'm curious if there isn't a similar way to do this without the quest? Like maybe having tame beast go off just as he dies?
Do the mechanics of taming work similar in this event, or will he still just be a regular wolf if you do manage to tame him just as he dies?

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!
you need to be on the quest, otherwise he will just turn into a grey wolf

Eh it's just a buff they stay with, IF folks make a huff about it, it will either be removed (the buff) & it'll be a regular ol' northrend worg, or they'll let folks keep it, who knows. Grats on folks who get theirs.

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!
The whole thing really reminds me of the ghostwolf, so my guess is that Blizz will fix it but let people who have it keep it. But we can never be sure.
But I'm not going to get one because even though it looks cool I could never get over the fact that my poor pet is drenched in oil. D:

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!
Ok ive done about 20 odd goes at this using haste pots and not i wait until 6 secs left on frost trap teh ally is as far away from teh wolf as it can be and im either getting it despawning or like 0/1 sec before despawning i have like 9% haste and i ditch my baby spirit bear
so anyone got any other hints?
(though before teh flames hit me! teh bear is always there on my realm just waiting for me)

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!
After figuring out the timing - right about 7 seconds (and after I stopped failing by throwing the meat after the wolf was trapped), we finally got my hubby his unique lil' wolf, Shadow!!! It took about 10 times for us to get the timing right and such, but he thinks it was worth it to be unique. 
Grats babe!!!

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!
Still nothing over here. Wonder if i should go ask around in alliance Trade or something. Although i doubt id find someone nice enough to not want anything in return or something, or anyone to take the time to help for that matter. Woe is me...

I think I still have the quest, if anyone on Dawnbringer needs help. I can't tame - no pet slots open - but I can help y'all <3

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!
Wouldn't it be obvious if you asked in trade if someone hasn't done "Lupus Pupus"? Guess one would ask: "Someone who hasn't completed all of the Borean Tundra quests" maybe.Siliverin wrote: grats to evertone who got oneyeah i would say though just ask in trade on in general in borean
Guess I'll be looking around on Steamwheedle Cartel then for my other hunter if anyone has an alliance there willing to help, shoot me a PM please.

DONT WASTE MONEY ON POTS!
set trap
shoot
once trapped, be about 10-20 feet away from wolf
wait until 7-9 seconds let (depending on haste, trial and error is the way to go here)
throw bait, hit tame beast immediately
adjust accordingly, it took me about 15 tries to get it right.
Make sure to watch the trap tick down on the mob too, helps. I hit mine at about 7 O clock (if you think of the timer as a clock dial)

Re: A hah! Figured it out! Oil Stained Wolf Tame!

Got it! Found a hunter in alliance trade who hadnt done the quests on his DK, and was more than willing to help considering i let him in on this thread/info. Thanks to the people who put time into figuring this out, and grats on all past and future tames.
Now, to name him. Im considering something along the lines of "Void" or something like it, or Beepee to take a jab at the Oil Spill Crisis in the Gulf. Any thoughts?
