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

[guntitan]

The attack is called Shower of Dawn!

[Dakonic]

That is awesome! I will have to try it out!

The say Dawn detergent is really good on oil...

So any way to get one of the birds?....

[Wassa]

My wolf just lost his oil doing arena.

Well, the oil is a buff and buffs get wiped when you start an arena match. Same thing happened with Garwal as a worgen because that worgen form was a buff and if you did arena he lost the buff and turned back into a normal wolf.

Odd that other people reported that arena works fine. Just to be safe keep your special wolf out of arenas I guess.

[FuzzyDolly]

Did it get the buff back when you left the arena?

[zedxrgal]

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

This is very true but maybe I got lucky or something. I may have to run arena tonight and see what happens and risk the possibility that he loses it.

After all it's for the good of the Petopian family.

If anyone else is willing to arena test theirs also please do as it would help to know for sure if the oily wolf keeps it or not through that.

Screw Blizz and their Alliance only quests.

Screw Blizz and their Alliance only quests.

They didn't do it intentionally - Horde have plenty of Horde-only quests, the only difference is that this time, we just so happened to find a way to tame the pet and keep the buff. I really don't think it was intended, and they may even nerf it somehow, who knows.

So I don't really think it's fair to say it like Blizz intentionally gave only Alliance this unique wolf. It was a fortunate accident more than anything.

I'm not saying they did. Alliance on my server are non-too-friendly to Horde characters and one just recently /ruded me because I tried the tame a wolf they threw a piece of meat at, not knowing it wouldn't give them the quest item they needed afterwards.

You do recall that the white lions used to both be Horde-only, right?

And THIS pet's unintentional.

Aye, I know. But never being on the Alliance side (and hating the Alliance on my server to boot, even though the Horde can easily be as childish), I've never had to really struggle with certain faction only pets. If I couldn't get a pet, I picked the next best thing, and that was usually a common skin. It wasn't until I was 80 and tamed Loque that unique skins caught my attention, like the Oil-Stained wolf or the accidental Crocoslime and Ghost Hydra.

Understandable; no reason for the issue to cross your radar if you've never had to deal with it.

Just saying that alliance hunters have been equally frustrated before.

Aye, back when Eche was Horde-only, I went to go do the quest and saw a line of three hunters just sitting there waiting for a Horde to do the quest so they could all try to swoop in at once and tame the cat.

It might be easier if you just made an alliance toon and ran it out to Borean Tundra to ask around in general chat.
(you don't need a minimum level to jump on the boat that leaves the stormwind harbor)

Anyways, it takes a bit of coordination with the person doing the quest to attempt the tame, so to think you might be able to manage it by just standing around and waiting for a random person to start doing the quest is a little silly

My suggestion: If you have access to a vent server (say from your guild) and are allowed to bring guests into it, invite the Alliance quester with you to the vent so you can team up that way even while your on your horde toon.
As far as finding someone to help you, if anyone is out there leveling already, and they plan to do the quest anyways, most-likely they won't mind helping someone out along the way so long as they are treated politely.

When I had to do this on my troll hunter I even happened to meet a pretty nice person

@guntitan you have a very sexy UI! gz on your tame

About the arena thing. I didn't do anything special, just called it out and it was normal instead of having the oil. I did relog and dismissed and called it again when I was back in Dalaran. It didn't help. I know it was tested before, but since it's a bit of a bug that has him keep the oil, I'm sure that he can just bug and loose it. At least I only needed to run 4 instances to level him again for the raid.

I don't play arena seriously. A friend just asked if I could come help a 3v3 team so they could get their points. So that's why I used my wolf and not a pvp pet. Tactic: nuke and hope you don't die. lol, well it worked some of the time hahaha.

So I am guessing that you were able to grab another one?

Grats.

I am not too worried about my Alliance hunter because I just won't complete that quest and will always be able to go get him again if I need to...

My Horde hunter, on the other hand.... I moved one of my less used Alliance characters from my main account to my second account (and to my Horde server) in order to dual box the quest ... but I won't be keeping my second account open longer than a month so if I lose the wolf there I'll have to pay another $15 to get him back...

*sigh* After days of sitting at the quest giver, I finally found someone willing to stick around. We tried it at least 20 times, but always I was either a split second too soon or too late.

First I trapped the wolf and waited till the trap had a bit over 6 seconds left before starting the tame. The other person was standing at max range and threw the meat at 7 seconds - I figured it didn't matter when they threw it as long as the wolf was trapped at the time. Some tames ended in a golden flash, others with the wolf despawning too soon, showing that my timing was mere split seconds off. :(

[Rawr]

Hey is there an Alliance ppl on Draka who could help me with this? I know theres a nelf from Possesed that reads this forum. I wondering if he/she could help with this. Please and thanks

[guntitan]

The UI is called SpartanUI. I think the author is updating it.

Woot just got him!!! I had to run back and forth between my boyfriend's computer and my own a few times, but I did it Quasar is his name
