My guess is it's from a private server. His gear also looks like TBC level gear (mainly judging by the weapon, it's really pixellated when I go full screen), although I did see an achievement pop up in guild chat.

Hmm, that's odd. o.O It has to be a private server, I check on the Spirit Wolves whenever a patch hits. Are there any Spanish realms? The red text that appears at 1:51 reminds me of Spanish. Also unless it's an addon (which I doubt, seeing as their UI is completely unmodified), there's never an error message that long on live.

The weapon you talk of looks like the 2h Heirloom Axe to me.

One more reason it's fake: ALL the Spirit Wolves in that area only spawn when summoned by some of the mobs and die within seconds, there isn't a single one that would stand around like that.

This is exactly what I was thinking- I just did the quests over there a few days ago for Loremaster, none of the Wolves stood idle with the Grimtotems. Last time I saw them, after the fix, they were much smaller, like a combat pet or a level 1 wolf from a starter area.

Indeed. I just went there and tried a couple of things - feigning just as the Spirit Binder summoned the wolves, ran away so that the Binder would reset while the Spirit Wolves would still attack me. Always they would drop dead after 7 seconds, no matter what I did.

There was a comment thanking the poster of the video- if you ask me, they are trying to start a huge thing pretending these are tamable again.

Yeah, I think so.

I was thinking of the heirloom axe but dismissed it simply because of the haste needed (I assumed...). That wasn't a 20 second tame, was it? Seemed shorter to me, though I didn't explicitly check.

And the heirloom axe is a strength axe, which wouldn't be used by any self-respecting hunter; either a pre-heirloom axe, or he's an idiot :P

I find this very hard to believe since they mad it UNTAMEABLE ages ago. Private sever yes, simply as the script and coding on them do not work also you can set it to a certain patch. Maybe in Cata they might allow a model like this to be tamed again but I doubt it ... Blizz isn't THAT nice.

I agree Kairii, apart from one small thing. I don't think it has to do with being nice - it's simply that this game is their product. It's their brainchild, their world, and they don't want things to go counter to the rules of that world. Sure, we can tame all kinds of odd beasts, but a spirit? That's supposed to be outside the hunters' abilities. Same reason we couldn't keep Garwal - we're not (within the WoW universe) able to control humanoids, and Garwal, in his worgen form, is a humanoid (regardless of our ability to skin him... which, gross!!! *tries to erase mental image*). For the same reason, I'm not so worried they'll take away our oily wolves.

I'm just hoping they dont remove the oily goodness on my wolf.

That was just a regular tame, there wasnt a Heroism/Bloodlust, No visable haste potions, No fancy meta gems that make it go faster, etc.

I dont know why some people do this to post these, it seems completely pointless to confuse people in not even a funny way

I would like to see the ghost wolf be tameable again some day, private server or not. Maybe not exactly as a ghost wolf but maybe half and half between that and Skoll. I remember when I first started playing it was not long before they deemed the ghost wolf untameable. I never knew about it though; I was brand new to WoW.

And for someone that has had some experience in a private server, the spirit wolf would not be the only untameable creature that would be tameable there. I've actually tamed the red warp stalker without a problem, and even though this experiment was extremely bugged, I think it was possible for an alliance to tame Backbiter, the other indigo-purple warp stalker. The owner of the private server was actually surprised when I told him the red warp stalker I tamed was in fact untameable.

Absolutely fake.

The Grimtotems never were just "standing there". They were an epic tame because they despawned/died after 7 seconds of 'summoned' time.

Gear, how they tamed, the spawn standing there... the fact it is named "Ancient Grimtotem Spirit Guide" is all BS.

Ancient Grimtotem Spirit Guide is what it'll pop up (when a tamed spawn bugs out and reverts to its pretamed state) on those tamed spirit wolves.



100% fake. 100% not live server.

Lolololol. WTF is with the strength axe?

Um am I correct that a 'Ancient Grimtotem Spirit Guide" is the spirit wolf that horde spawns in Hellfire Peninsula in that murder mystery quest leading to the discovery of Thralls long lost "people" Unknowne-Elune

That spirit wolf is undoubtedly like the spirit wolf that spawns in Mulgore. They are not classified as a beast or an undead and I doubt even the alliance can touch them.
