Elbow wrote:Hello, I just tamed this awesome jet black wolf! 21/10/2010. So, if you have been having trouble getting the wolf to stay black, here is how I did it. To start with, u need someone to feed the bait for the quest as stated above. Soon as the oil-stained wolf changes for quest, ice trap and tame. If you timed it right he will disapear in the end of tame, not become friendly. Then, open yr spell book to "call pet" and click the first whistle in the lineup. This should call a black wolf! Remember to feed and rename it right away. After that he will show up in yr list of pets.

Grats! Yeah its a bit more glitchy now than it was before the 4.0.1 patch, but its still doable. Its a little harder now. The best way I found was a strategy from Quicksilver here: http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic ... 35&start=0

Let it smack you in the face for a bit, throw the meat, then hit tame right away. (adjust accordingly after trial and error)

I saw two videos, both saying meat-trap-tame. However, I couldn't really get it so out of frustration, I went for the aggro-meat-tame approach and it was a success. This was done with the help of a friend who had the quest.

I think the sweet spot is right after the meat was thrown. Depending on your haste, you'd have to time when to tame. Mine was about 2-3 seconds after the meat was thrown just right before the wolf eats.

There were a couple of errors after the tame which made me think I failed yet again: there was no new wolf in the stable, and I couldn't tame (message was "you are already summoning" or something like that). So I had to quit WoW... and when I came back, the wolf was there.

Named him Grimnoir.

Has anyone had any success in taming this post 4.0?

I was trying it with a friend earlier today and there were so many times where it looked at though it should have worked.

Edit:

You need to completely quit wow and come back in after the successful tame before it will show in stables.

Me. Got it the other day. Check my approach just above your post.

I was also thinking it didn't work anymore. Good luck!

i picked him up yesterday with the meat and trap method. waited until the trap timer hit 16 sec then started tame. he despawned at the end of tame and i had to log out and back in but he was there ready to fight something. took me about 20 tries.

btw - even though i haven't seen anyone else from Tanaris on these forums if any horde players want this guy let me know. i will be deleting quest so i can help out.

Just picked him up after many MANY tries. I didn't use a trap, but timed it so that I hit tame as soon as i saw him start eating, with my haste rating being 543.

I have finally gotten a post up on the blog about this!

Thank you very much, Kyonarai - and everyone else who has contributed to this thread. It amazes me what you people are willing to do in pursuit of amazing pets.

Got my Black Beauty yesterday.. Still Tameable.

Affirmative!
Got mine yesterday like this:

1. Friend casts bait to wolf.
2. Wolf runs towards him.
3. Pauses on way.. I counted "1 and..." (just under 2 secs)
4. Cast tame beast.
5. Cast finished and pet was NOT in call box. (I went to tame a second try and was told i had an active summon)
6. Went to stable master - wolf was in there and could be summoned.
7. Arrived oily, and aggressive!

Took me a couple of time for timing. A friend of mine tamed him just after me and took about 3 tries.
