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

[Manticora]

I'm having trouble doing this. I don't think haste is necessary either. I've been taming them too quickly, and my haste isn't all that great. I sat there for a few hours trying this out. D:

I've almost had it a few times, but I'll end up taming them around 1 second or so. >.<


Edit:

Nevermind, I just got it!
I named him Valdez.

Haste isn't needed at all. It's entirely timing...and time..The guide here works! I really hope this stays. Thank you for the help!

Posting this bit on page 5 again for visibility:

* You throw a freezing arrow/trap down a few paces in front of the wolf.
* You or your ally friend throw the meat to the wolf from about 7 yards or so.
* The meat-throw turns the wolf neutral, and it runs forward into the trap.
* Wait until ~6-7 seconds left on trap, and hit Tame.
* When the trap breaks, the wolf will continue running to the person who threw food, then stand still for several seconds before turning, running for 1 second or so and despawning. The goal is to have the tame end JUST as the pet despawns. Too soon and the pet will lose the buff; too late, and the tame will not finish. With 11.77% haste on this gear set, I timed my tame to begin with just under 6 secs left on the trap.

No haste needed! Thanks to Aquillian for the tactics ^^

[Siliverin]

alot of it is timing and not really haste helped someone get one tonight

[mnenioc]

Yeah timing really helped. I got it on my alli hunter but still working on the timing with horde hunter. At least I got it on one of my hunters. Will play around with my horde in a bit LoL

Sorry, I should've mentioned this but too excited.
Thanks to both Kyonarai and Aquillian. Really appreciated! Sadly had to drop Haarka.

[Siliverin]

yeah sucks horde cant do it. i want it on my hunter but no one i know of has a ally toon or if they do, they did it already

[Unggoy]

So far, im having no luck finding any help with this. :/

[bluddy]

hehe with my hunter i just camped iggy for one hour for an ally to show up . did /wait on them and logged on my lvl 1 ally to ask thjem a small favor. I love my new wolf Silhouette.

[Siliverin]

So far, im having no luck finding any help with this. :/

yeah I have a feelin that if I don't make my hunter ally she won't get one

[bluddy]

just camp iggy and u'll be likely to get one

[Fabi]

I've named mine Shadowfang ^^

i thougt this name fits to him

[Siliverin]

yeah dont think there are many people doing it though.... camping him waiting could take a while

update; woo someone in the guild had an ally toon who didnt do the quest yet and i got one

[Azunara]

I also got him tamed. Meet Shadow. (And Firewing.)

[Rhyela]

This is so awesome!!! I just hope Blizz doesn't say, "Oh geez, another 'exploit', time to hotfix!" and take it away. It's similar in strategy to the ghost wolf that's been removed for unknown reasons, which worries me.

Hopefully the hubby can get his tonight. With this guide, it should be just a matter of figuring out at what point to start the tame. I have no idea how much haste he has. But at least we know it's 6-7 seconds!

He's excited about it, which is kind if unusual because he typically doesn't get into special tames like this. So I look forward to helping him get it.

[Royi]

OH! I've been standing too close. When the trap breaks and if you're right next to him you wont have enough time. I'll have to back away some more since I believe the wolf "needs to complete "running up to you" ~ which would give me the additional 2-3 seconds I am missing!

AHA MOMENT!

[Quin]

Very awesome! Congrats to figuring it out and congrats to everyone who has their new oily friend!

[Arrol]

OMG just got him. after some trial and error i got him!! he despawned just after the tame ended and still worked. i was like Aww another nothrend wolf. i click call pet to summon him for his quick abondonment when OMGOMGOMG its him!!! He was aggressive as everyone says. he is a forever part of my stable(unless hes fixed, DONT DO THAT TO US BLIZZ PLZ) end over excitedness.

[Arrol]

Oh... but now the question is. have him with me while questing and doing dungeons or keep him hidden so no hotfix. im worried if i keep him out ppl will ask questions and possibly report to blizz about it

[Siliverin]

i think either which way, if blizz is gonna fix it they are gonna fix it weather we have them out or not

[Kittykat]

Wow, this is really cool. I have never seen one of these tamed on my server. I am going to try it out!

Unfortunately the horde:alliance ration on Area 52 is about 4:1. And so far the only responses I have gotten to my inquiries on my level one alliance alt have been... less than helpful even though all I basically said was "Looking for someone who hasn't completed the Lupus Pupus quest yet, please help."

If anyone has a toon on Area 52, or knows someone who does, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

[zedxrgal]

Strangely enough I only got one compliment on my wolf. I think for non-hunters who really do not know, it's just another tamed beast to them. So no reason to report it. It's other hunters that will be the cause for concern because they cannot get one after hundreds of attempts possibly.

That's part of the reason I grinded away at doing quests before and after so as not to look suspicious.

I honestly don't think Blizz will care to much, or at least I'm seriously hoping not, as long as it's not thousands of hunters all at once going out and taming them. I'm not saying we keep it a secret ............... but it shouldn't be put out there in my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong to think that way but I'm not willing to risk losing it.

It's should be a petopian only pet. Yah know ............... like the companion pets for buying a authenticator or something. Kidding. Maybe. But probably not.

Just my two cents.
