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

[karina]

I could level a Ally DK on that realm once I am able to pay for my World of Warcraft account again Im sure my little BloodElf could wait.

Since there still seem to be some questions here is what I tested mine at. My quote from page 3 I believe.

Testing completed!!!
I did everything I could think of and it's official through all they keep the oil soaking.

In dungeons /arena /PvP, including heroics
Dismissed and called back
Killed, revived
Changing pets
In /out of the stable
Logging off
Logging out of the game completely

So without a doubt it's permanent!!!
I also named my boy B.P. (hope you catch the pun)

Happy hunting. He's very cool to have!

So yes it's kept permanently, 100%

So maybe you saw my Alliance hunter on page 9 of this thread showing off her new wolf... and then maybe you saw me asking if anyone could help me get the wolf on my Area 52 Horde hunter...

I am a very impatient person.... it's only been like.... A DAY!

So... I couldn't take it anymore... so I helped myself out... (BTW.. it only took 3 tries this time... I removed all haste gear and about 9.5sec started tame)



I love how it looks like a family picture with everyone showing up... even the in-laws start to show up [see behind us].

My freaking wolf disappeared again... this time while I was in ICC. Put in a ticket, and this time I will wait for a response, because I am not going to tame another and level it for it only to vanish.

A bit frustrated that this is only happening to me, and only with this particular wolf. >:(

You don't happen to have the abandon BW macro for taming something like Krush do you? I saw a thread on the hunter forums where a guy popped BW right after taming Krush and ended up abandoning him because he never took the taming macro off his bars.

[Ezmode]

You know what, I actually do, it's bound to my alternate actionbar that I use for stuff like fishing and pots.

I bet somehow I was retarded enough to still have my alt actionbar up in a dungeon.

THANK YOU WITH THE AFFECTION OF A THOUSAND PUPPIES!

EDIT: That's a tragic story btw.

Dang, that's a lot of affection. This made my night.

I wish I posted the first time the wolf poofed on you, but after I saw it happened again, I was like- I have to, just in case. You might have had the macro keybound and hit it unknowingly for all we know- and that guy on the forums? Whew, yeh I kinda cringed when I read the thread. He had some people being jerks, naturally, but others were helpful and told him to write a ticket if he hadn't prior. My heart went out to him. I took my macro off my bar, and even went as far as to delete it from my UI, just on the offchance that something bizarre happened. And the puppy affection- I think my head might asplode from the cuteness of that! But in a good way! <3

Agh, it's for that reason I'm too paranoid to use a BW/Instant Abandon macro. I'd be far too terrified to accidentally hit it while deleting it or removing it. *shudder*

Whats the point of one of those macros? Just curious

[Vephriel]

If you're up against something like King Krush or The Beast where timing is vital, you have to basically pop Bestial Wrath (to give you the immunity benefits) but then abandon your pet right after. Doing all that by hand wastes precious time, so a macro allows you to instantly drop the pet without a confirmation box or anything.

[Sierro]

Registered specifically to say this...

The advice on this thread is awesome, I just got my very own oil stained wolf! He's lovely Only took a few tries too!

Thank you everyone!

I got all sorts of warm fuzzies from that.

thanks Veph for the clerification.

I forgot to mention that we shot a frost trap, had my friend that was helping me stand in front of me, he threw meat at the wolf, then the wolf went into the trap. The player position was me, friend, trap, then wolf. After 7 or so failed attempts we figured out that at level 80 with 0 haste that it work best to start taming at 10 seconds before the trap brakes. So far it looks like I'm the only one on Dalvengyr with it.

Does anyone know if you remove the oil stain buff with a right click?

EDIT: Does not get removed when you right-click it.



Doesn't wash off in water either.

My wolf just lost his oil doing arena.

[Pent]

My wolf just lost his oil doing arena.

Do anything special? Get hit with a certain attack? Tried relogging?

This is very upsetting.... I don't arena, but I don't want to be just leveling and something random happen to my BP Wolf.

[Suicune]

My wolf just lost his oil doing arena.

Weird... I swore someone said they tried arena with the wolf and it was fine... I didn't think it would be after that since it pulls and buffs/debuffs off of you and your pet upon entering the zone. Hm...

[Vephriel]

Yup, I know Zed checked arena for sure and she said it didn't lose the oil for her.

[Nrym]

So, I've been lurking these boards for forever but never made a post until now, I'm desperate for one of these wolves, problem is I'm horde, so if anyone on Black Dragonflight can help me that'd be amazing.
