"Void Wolf" Pics

Unread post by Acherontia »

So I have a ton of Oil-Stained Wolf pics to post, but I hate to clutter up the taming thread, since that seems to be more for finding allies with the quest, and dealing with the tame itself & issues with it. So I figured I'd put them all in one place, and maybe make a spot for everyone else to show off theirs too.

I named mine Void, and so have come to think of him as "the Void Wolf."

Some background info, on the offchance you've been living on the moon:

The main thread about the Oil-Stained wolves, whose tame was originally figured out by Kyonarai, is here. They're a wolf found in Borean Tundra, and are generally tameable but end up exactly like other wolves. If, however, you tame them as they despawn after being fed via the Alliance quest Lupus Pupus, you can get one that will continue to look dark and oil-stained. Unless you select it, it has 0 features showing, looking simply like a void, hence my nickname for them ^^

To tame--get someone on the quest (which has several prerequisites and at least one previous quest in the chain) to feed the wolf. Trap it just before or just after the feeding, but be sure you're standing a decent distance away. Keep the same distance every attempt. Watch the freezing trap timer, and when there are 7 seconds left, begin the tame. The trap will soon break, the wolf will slowly lope up to you, stop for a few seconds, run away and then despawn. If you tamed a normal wolf, you will need to adjust your timing--the tame finished too soon. If it despawned before the tame completed, try Call Pet. Either a black oily wolf (set Aggressive) will appear at your side, or the tame didn't complete--you'll need to adjust your timing, the tame finished too late.

The method I used:

* 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. (Adjust the 7 seconds based on trial & error due to your haste rating)
* 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.


Anyway, on to the image spam! I took a bunch in Duskwood--at Forlorn Rowe (where you can find Morbent Fel's house)--one of my favorite places in WoW!

It's a very unique wolf, sort of an anti-spirit beast!

Just appearance-wise. Sort of the shadow instead of the light. I love spirit beasts too!

You should include the guide I also posted for those that do NOT have haste gear (like myself) that have to go through the full 20 secs tame time. It can be done. Be very helpful for those who don't want to waste time getting the gear for it.

I'm having the darnest time with this, besides the variability of getting an alliance player to hold still and keep a set distance away, I swear I got the timing perfect and no oil colors. It's hard to say, "well a fraction of a second this or that", and not, "maybe they fixed this." :(

No, cause I had it a few where you'd swear it went off yet didn't. It is VERY hard to time. You roughly see the tame level up flash thing just as it poofs, before means tame went off to soon, none at all means it didn't go off.

As I mentioned on the other thread, this IS a no-haste guide. ;)

haste gear isn't so much the issue. my gear only knocks about 2 sec off tame beast, the true variable is the distance of the alliance to the frost trap. After enough tries you can eyeball the disance and guess whether you need to start taming at 5 seconds (long distance) or 7 (short) or somewhere inbetween. Once the worg gets there, it's about 10 seconds for the howl, poop, and take off.

So that's the spread:

[5 to 7](remaining trap time) + [1 to 2](worg travel time) + [roughly 10](poop and flee time)

Yes, I can confirm the timing is really finicky.

I too had the tame look like it completed perfectly. The tame timer hit 0 just as the wolf vanished, but "You do not have a pet."

Any time I saw a "flash" like a level up, I only summoned back a plain gray wolf.

The time I was successful looked to me exactly like every other time I finished the tame just as the wolf vanished, but instead of "You do not have a pet" I DID have a pet. An aggressive, very unhappy pet (though he did rapidly change to happy after being fed something that didn't give him upset tummy)!

I too started to have misgivings about whether it had been fixed or something... but all that was needed was a little more patience!
