Comentario de MrBloodyshadow

Se puede obtener manteniendo la espada en el cráneo, aquí la prueba (Teti es mi cazador, se puede ver en la información de mi perfil). Todo lo que hice fue domarlo, retirarlo (no abandonarlo), coger otro igual y al desconectar y volver a conectar el primero tenía la espada intacta.

Comentario de Niaw

This guy is located not far due east of Darrowshire. He appears to be dead when you first find him, but will leap up to attack when you get too close.

He's tameable. Of note, he's also transparent and retains his transparency after being tamed. The sword, however, is removed. (For a while there was a trick that allowed a hunter to tame him and keep the sword, but that was subsequently fixed).

Comentario de Hopdaddy

Respawns fairly quick.

I tamed him, and in less than 5 minutes he was back

EDIT
Also, it seems he did not retain his "ghost-ness" upon being stabled. Not sure if this is a glitch or not, but it does detract from the appeal of the pet.

Comentario de 679099

Just tamed him. Got quite a surprise when he jumped up and I saw he had a big sword sticking out of his head! Wish I would have taken a screenshot of it. XD

An excellent addition to my hunter's wolf collection. Love him. :)

Comentario de 88783

Tamed him, no trouble. He's also surrounded by a few ghostly deer and rabbits.

Comentario de 324836

No he does not keep Joseph's Hunting Blade in his head when you tame him, unfortunatly.

Comentario de Herecius

It IS possible to tame The Lone Hunter AND have him keep the sword! Entering an arena with him will cause him to lose the buff that keeps the sword in him, however, so be wary, most likely because arenas automatically clear all of your buffs.

The following guide may not be relevant in the future, but for now, as of patch 4.0.3a, 6 days before Cataclysm, it works. I have submitted a screenshot with my lovely wolf 'Ouch' as well, standing in Orgrimmar.

First off, this is not an easy tame. I had a rough guide from Pet-topia about a similar mob to go by, and even then, this tame took well over an hour of trial and error. It helps that the respawn is pretty quick.

1. Lay down an immolation trap. The next step will simply take trial and error, including pulling him into the trap as you tame him, or hitting him once before starting the tame, or simply timing the tame halfway through the immo trap. This is because in order for the tame to work, he must be tamed at the exact moment that he dies, and different gear levels mean that damage will be inconsistent from hunter to hunter.

2. Begin your tame. What you want to have happen is for The Lone Hunter to actually die as he is tamed, but for the tame to still work, meaning that you effectively kill him after he's already your pet.

3. Use Revive Pet the instant he is tamed, causing his corpse to vanish right away. This is probably the hardest part. Mash revive pet. That's all I can really say. At this point, you may or may not notice that the Call Pet slot does not have the wolf's portrait, don't worry.

4. Log out. (You may crit error, don't worry.)

5. Log back in. Call your pet. It should be dead, and you'll get the error message 'your pet is dead.'

6. Cast revive pet. If all went according to plan, you should have a wolf with a sword sticking out of his face, as he'll still have the Joseph's Hunting Blade buff. This is a tough tame, but it is possible. Just persevere.

Comentario de 327680

The below was before these kind of pets were hotfixed.
There is a MUCH easier way to tame this guy WITH the sword; its just a simple macro.
http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7093 details it and shows all the other pets it works with. Heres the part you want to know for this guy quoted directly from the page:

Step 1: Find a pet with a buff you like.
Step 2: Trigger the pet's appearance change, if necessary.
Step 3: Tame Beast, and spam the following macro as the tame completes: /script PetAbandon()
Step 4: If it went well, the pet will be gone, but you will "already have an active summon" when you attempt to retame another. Relog, and your new shiny pet will be there.
Step 5: NEVER let it die >.> Also, do NOT die, yourself, while the pet is out. I have confirmed that this will also wipe the pet's buffs. (This step applies only to mobs who lose their appearance upon death while in the wild)

Step 2 and 5 don't apply to this guy!
I don't know about going into arena though, so find someone else who has him that has gone into an arena before you do!
Also it took me a good 3 or 4 logging out of my character before i did it successfully. You REALLY have to spam it.

Comentario de Nogrid

No one seems to have mentioned that the Carnivorous Bite debuff that this wolf uses is especially deadly if you are actually fighting him at the proper level. He didn't do that much damage to me in combat, but by the time the debuff wore off I was at around 10% health.

Comentario de 723424

Sword debuff is fixed? I have succesfully tamed him now twice in the last second, so that when I try to "call pet" at first there is just the wolf-head picture but it doesn`t even say "your pet is dead", but lets me still rezz him. I have also tried to log out before rezzing him, but the sword is not there. Nor is the sword actually even there on his corpse, when I have just tamed him and not even made any action yet. I am pretty sure they have now fixed the possibility of this sword being there with the tamed wolf, and that makes me CRY INSIDE. Please for the love of god someone prove me wrong >_< I was hyper when I read about this glitch like 2h ago (I tamed the normal version of this wolf as it became tameable and wished even then the sword would have stayed on him). I will have missed yet another "bugged pet" if he is now fixed. Can someone else go and try to tame him with the sword and comment if they can succeed anymore please... (still hoping that I`ve just done something wrong)

Comentario de 732775

Just tamed The Lone Hunter with sword in his head and also the oilslick wolf, so it is still possible as of 12/14/10 11:59 am which is just after the latest maintenance. The oil wolf I tamed on first try using the /script PetAbandon () macro, on The Lone Hunter it took me about 10 attempts to get it to stick and as I was about to give up I got it to stick and named him AmokRun and ExxonValdez for my oil wolf. On Dragonblight realm.

Comentario de 661516

Still tameable with the epic sword in his head. Got mine the other day and tamed another just for back up. Picture:

Confirmed, 11:52pm, Dec 29,2010 using PetAbandon() script. You know when you get it when you try and rez pet and it says your 'pet isn't dead' instead of, 'you have no pet'. Relog and rejoice, just make sure you pull the macro off your bars... grr...

Comentario de 754310

How to get this awesome pet,a quick guide. I was a little fuzzy on the abandon version, so I used this one,and well explained-
1. Go to the Lone Hunter's location.
2. Run up to it, and put down Immolation Trap( I did this at 85, I'm not sure about other levels)
3. Start the tame EXACTLY at 9.5 seconds at 85(My tame beast was 9.6second cast, so may vary for others)
4. When its health starts to get low, spam Revive Pet
5. If you did it right, you "tamed" it and should be casting Revive Pet. Interrupt it by moving or jumping.
6. Log out. You may or may not see your new pet, don't worry about it.
7. Log in, and revive your pet. If you did it right, your pet will have the sword buff and it jammed in its skull! Congrats on your new pet!

It's still possible. Just did that and i had luck and got it right with my first try. But i haven't dismissed my pet yet so ... i shall see what will happen. Will post back.

Up to 9 or 10 tries with the macro. He appears to be getting tamed as a pet and not despawning.

I can confirm that this still works using the /script PetAbandon() method as of 4.0.6.

Comentario de ttanker1

As of today, 11 February 2011. Patch 4.0.6 (13623) You ARE still able to retain the look (sword and transparency) by following the direction posted above.

Tamed this Morning following Luckiest13 guide. Thanx!
If you run Wow @ the highest setting it shows his shadow as the blade,on low

Had to give it a few try's "5...to be exact.
Keep trying and You'll tame him with

Excalibur in tact.

Comentario de 799303

I tamed this awsome pet tonight, finally, after an hour and a half of trying the methods posted above. I couldn't get the timing right. Either killed him too fast or not fast enough. Then I got help from another hunter and it worked! I got the wolf down to 5% life just doing simple melee attack and began taming. When the tame was almost done casting, the other hunter used arcane shot to kill the wolf. Right before the wolf disappeared, I saw the animation of it dying. I started to revive then canceled it, logging out. When I was on the login screen, I saw the wolf in the background without the sword. Came back into WoW and tried to call the wolf. He was dead. Revived him and there he was with the sword lodged in his head. I was stoked :) I tried to help the hunter by doing the same method and when he logged in and revived the pet, the sword wasn't there. I don't know if its a chance for the sword or what but I thought posting this method might help others in obtaining the wolf.

Good Luck to everyone trying to get this cool looking pet!

Comentario de 734674

Definitely don't be stupid and forget to dismiss your current pet before attempting to tame this guy...

I approached while on my flying mount and began taming and then spamming the abandon pet macro. I failed to realize that I had not dismissed my current pet and I accidentally abandoned Sambas. So...off to spend weeks farming him again.

On the bright side, the tame of this guy was successful and he does retain the dagger in his head along with the buff.

Comentario de 671108

did using the method a few posts above me, worked second time, TIMING IS EVERYTHING!

just saw someone with a tamed random wolf (human's starting pet) and Lone Hunter is bigger!

does anyone know if he loses the blade when stabled?

Warning: he tames with Aggressive on!

I successfully killed the Lone Hunter twice as I finished taming him, and it didn't work.

Would like to add in my 2cents. The above method works but I didn't show a second wolf until I logged off and back on again. In fact, I thought the second tame failed but when I tried again I got a "no available slots" error message. After I logged off and back on again, there he was! Thanks guys and good luck!

I went there, tamed a normal one and dismissed it. The I waited for a new one to respawn and started taming it while spamming the macro. Then I log out and back in and there's only 1 wolf on my pet bar and without the sword.

Anything I'm doing is wrong? (Yes, I'm using the right macro)

as of just before 5am est on may 26th 2011 the tame dismiss tame with macro was the only method i could get to work......i could have been very unlucky but i tried all the other tech with no success for several hours till i found this one and it worked the first time my guildies are going nutz over the little guy thanks for the info =)

Comentario de darthamyus

I finally got him!

I was on my level 43 hunter and was having quite a problem with lag. I finally got him using the "tame dismiss tame logout-login" thing. I named him Headache, which is extra fitting because I have NDPH. And he was also quite a headache to get.

Problem is, he didn't have any abilities on his bar.

After being rather panicked, I figured out you can open up your spellbook, go to the pet tab, and drag them there.

So if you're lame like me, he isn't broken. :)

Comentario de Parrky

It can be construed as cheating but considering this is an exploit I hardly expect it to matter, if you use an autoclicker you can get a much higher chance of timing it correctly!

Comentario de 838326

i have manage to tame the pet with the sword on the head still, but i accidentally abandon it (sux to be me) I tried to re-tame with the same macro but 30 times still not able to catch it. anyone knows if you abandon it, will i still be able to re-tame?

Comentario de anball

tamed using kill-ress method. Timing is crucial, your immolation trap ticks should be 0.2sec ahead of taming spell cast, then you'll get it.

Comentario de 270768

still works in 4.1 as of June 14th using the kill/rez method. here's what I did.

I am 85, I just walked right up to him, placed an immolation trap (which ticked on him 4 times before killing him) and I started casting Tame Beast about a half of a second after I saw the "trap was triggered" animation (he appears to catch on fire). I caught him and killed him at the same time.
after that I logged off and I did see him on the character select screen sitting next to my hunter. I came on and was surprised to have gotten it so fast, it only took a few tries. I tried the abandon pet method for a good 2 hours with no luck

here's a helpful tip for this method: make a macro for the rez pet:
/cast Revive Pet
this will make the reviving part easier seeing as how using Revive Pet normally stops the Tame Beast cast.

Trust me, the kill/rez method is NOT as hard as it sounds, especially if you are 85 and you know exactly how many ticks of immolation trap it takes to kill him.

Comentario de Ionite

Trying the tame-dismiss-tame-macro method for 1,5 hours without any success.

Killing him in a timely fashion is not an option, as my level is appropriate.

Comentario de evansataz

Looks like it has officially been fixed. I was able to tame them 1st try every time by simply calling a pet, then dismiss, then tame and abandon pet macro at end of tame and worked every time. I made a huge mistake and entered am arena with my flaming battle boar and lost the fire on him. Went back to re get him and it doesn't work anymore. Been trying for longest time now on The Lone Hunter but it just abandons the pet now for good. I am so sad to see blizz fix this and will forever miss my flaming Boar :'-(

I also tried the revive method and cant get that to work either.

Anyone confirm they get it to work since 4.2 went live?

Hope someone will find a way that still works so i can get my flaming boar back!

Good luck and let's find a way!

Comentario de 618265

After trying both the Abandon Macro method and the immolation trap/revive pet method and not having much luck with either, I found a method that worked on the first try for me, so I'm posting it here in hopes to help others who are also having trouble with this. (It's pretty much the immolation trap method with explosive trap instead, but I'll post all the steps I took anyway for those who don't read all the comments)

What I did:(this was at 85)
1) Stood out of aggro range (but close enough for explosive trap to hit)
2) Used trap launcher to put an explosive trap right on him
3) Started taming very shortly after the 2nd tick of the trap
4) Started spamming revive pet as fast as I could
5) Logged out
6) Logged in, tried to call my new wolf, it said it was dead
7) Revived pet, had the dagger in it's face still.

(With the way traps scale with stats now, I did this with no aspect active, and my polearm unequipped, 2.8k agility, and 7.3k ranged attack power, with my trap hitting around 740 per tick)

Comentario de 852125

Just tamed this guy with his dagger intact today, July 6th. It can still be glitch-tamed as of patch 4.2. I tried spaming an abandon pet macro and DoT's and reviving, but nothing was working at all.

However, I saw a YouTube video of someone taming it with its dagger by having a Rogue backstab it as the tame completed, instantly killing it, and the Hunter using Revive Pet at the same time to make it disappear. I have no idea why this didn't occur to me earlier, and it's FAR more effective than random DoT timing. Here's how it works:

1. Group with any high-level player who can use an instant-damage ability to one-shot the Lone Hunter. I was grouped with a level-85 Shaman friend of mine.
2. Have them set you as their focus, so they can see your cast bar while they target the Lone Hunter.
3. Start the tame.
4. RIGHT as the cast bar turns golden to show a completed tame, have them use their ability to kill the Lone Hunter. At the exact same time they use their ability, as soon as you see your own cast bar flash gold, use Revive Pet.

If it succeeded, you should see the Lone Hunter turn to face your group member, then vanish.

This worked on our second try. All I had to do after he disappeared was use Revive Pet again, and bam, there he was by my side, dagger and all.

Named him Whoops, so I can tell the story of why I'm not allowed to use throwing weapons anymore, heh.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Comentario de reaper194

Got it a couple of days ago, everything worked perfectly and it was all good. Until now... the sword seems to have disappeared from him, hes just a plain ghost wolf which is cool! dont get me wrong but nothing it's nothing like the one i had ;( anyone know what could have happened?

Comentario de 260458

I tamed him today 16/07/11 Patch 4.2.

I tried the abandon macro many times and it didn't work. I used the kill/tame/revive method as Hericus said above. At level 85, I found that I had to start the tame a half second before the first tick of immolation trap. The first time, I didn't hit revive fast enough and though he was dead and tamed, he lost the sword. The second time, I was luckier - spammed Revive as the tame reached its end, and when I logged out and back in, called out my wolf with the sword in his head. Poor guy.

Hello fellow hunters!
I tamed him today 17.8.2011 with friend´s help.

I´ve done it with combination of all previous comments:
I had friend with me.
1) Started to cast Tame Pet
2) Friend killed it in 0,2-0,1s before the cast was done
3) I casted Revive Pet and interupted it by moving
4) I looged of and was a bit dissapointed, because the sword wasn´t displayed in the pet on character screen
5) But still I logged in
6) And Revived
~~~~voiloá~~~~ your new sword-in-scull pet n___n

Comentario de 874814

As of 26/08/2011, the lone hunter with the knife intact in its head is still tameable with this special appearance using the 'tame and kill' method. The method goes this way:

1)Make sure you have 1 free pet slot. Dismiss your current pet.

2a) If you are doing this alone (and that's how i got mine), you need good timing on the immolation trap ie. you kill yet tame the lone hunter simultaneously on the last tick of the immolation.
2b) If you have a helper, all you have to do is cast taming on the lone hunter then ask him/her to kill it just as you finish your taming. This requires some accurate timing as well.

3) Be sure to spam 'Revive Pet' button at the last second of your taming (purpose is to make the wolf disappear asap) such that you have tamed the wolf but it disappears before the 'tame success animation'. You have to be VERY FAST on this to have a higher chance of success.

4) Once the wolf disappears, interrupt your 'Revive Pet' cast (move forward or press escape etc.) and log off. You won't be able to see the wolf intact with the knife on your login screen but there is still a chance that you are successful. Log back in.

5) Once you log in, cast 'Revive Pet' and you should get the message 'Your pet is dead'. After which you call your newly tamed pet (wolf) and see if you are successful to retain the knife in its head. If it fails, abandon it, wait for it to respawn and try again.

Things which you might wanna take note:
- Respawn timer for the lone hunter is around 2minutes. So if your attempt failed you have to wait another 2min to try again.
- If you are trying alone for the first few times and you know that your immolation timing is obviously out, you can feign death and reset the attempt rather than waiting for 2min for another try.
- The lone hunter has 3170 hp. Immolation non-crit tick is about 650-652 thereabout.
- If you use immolation method, on normal circumstances (with only 1 or less crit on the ticks) you have to time such that your taming ends together with the 5th tick that will kill the wolf. For me, what i do is that i shoot the immolation trap on the lone hunter. Once i see that the immolation triggers on it, i start counting about 2.5 sec (i had around 200ms latency) before i start taming ie. count 'one thousand, two thousand, three... tame') Your latency is a factor that might alter the timing so keep practising to adjust and get a good grisp of the timing accordingly on your individual case. However if 2 or more ticks crit, i normally just wait for another try because instead of 5 ticks, the wolf would be dead in 4 or less ticks and this disrupts our timing badly.
-As long as the wolf disappears (without the tame success animation) as you finish taming, there is a chance to be successful so do log out and in every attempt because for me, the successful attempt wasn't expected as it looked identical to my previous failed attempts.
-Timing must be that precise, comes together with a bit of luck since we cannot control the latency.

Keep trying and you will get better and successful eventually! Good luck! Hope this helps!

Comentario de Swampfox

I successfully tamed the lone hunter - sword intact - just now using the method above (kill method with immo trap). I tried other methods (having a friend kill him, pet abandon macro) which didn't work at all, but this one worked after about 10 tries. (The failures were obvious failures not requiring logout... either he tamed before dying or died before taming.) Good luck to everyone else :)

Comentario de littlemonster

Has anyone experimented with what happens when he dies? Will he lose the sword? It looks like a buff, and frankly I'm somewhat nervous to actually use him >.>

*Edit*
- Got brave and tested this myself Vs. one hungry Whale Shark. Confirmed that he can safely die / revive without losing the sword buff.

Comentario de CPhantom

Is this guy still tamable as of today? I'm trying but I can't seem to get him to work. I have a partner with me killing him properly. I know he can have some difficulty but we're trying, and got him to not flash on the disappearance, and still didn't work.

Comentario de 537794

This wolf is STILL tamable with the sword in his nugget. It is definitely all about timing. After numerous failed attempts with the tame/abandon method I switched to the tame/kill method and that worked. Read every post and tried all methods but got frustrated after many failed attempts. I came back and read what Slange did and decided to get "analytical" - I broke out the timer that is part of the game clock and timed my Immolation Trap from first contact till mob death then timed my Tame Beast from start to finish. Once I had those times, I figured it was about a 2-3 second difference between Tame Beast finishing and Immolation killing the mob (Tame Beast finishes faster). So the trick is to trap launch Immolation on the mob, watch for Immolation icon to appear on the mob icon, then wait about 2-3 seconds before casting Tame Beast. Spam Revive just as Tame Beast is finishing, if your timing is right he will disappear without any sign of dying or being tamed. Logout then log back in. Cast Revive, if it worked he will appear with the sword still in his head. THESE ARE NOT EXACT NUMBERS, you will have to figure out your own timings based on level, gear, etc. It does work, I have the wolf with the sword to prove it. His name is Migraine ; )

Don't give up, it can be done. Good Luck!

Still works patch 4.2.0

Tamed instants ago with help of a 85 friend that killed at the end of tame. Needed lots of trys tough to get it work.

Comentario de 806845

Happy to report that this is indeed still tameable with sword intact. Got it a few minutes ago on my 42 hunter, and it looks great. A few notes;

I tried for awhile with the Abandon macro with no luck, a little bit of research shows that the dev's consider the Abandon bug fixed and it now properly abandons rather than despawning the pet as before.

I also tried to do the kill/revive method by myself, whittling him down to a few hundred health and then using combinations of serpent sting and an immo trap. The timing is almost impossible this way, but I came -very- close several times. It can be done with perseverance, I'm sure.

In the end I had a friend come help. It doesn't need to be a capped char, she was around my level. Just whittle him down to around 200 health or so, stop attacking and begin your tame cast. At around .2 or .1 seconds left, she pulled an insta-cast that easily wiped out his remaining health and I jabbed down on the Revive button. You can tell if it works because he doesn't die and doesn't animate into a pet...he just disappears and your revive continues to cast. Interrupt it before it finishes, log out and back in. Viola...one of the most distinctive combat pets in the game.

Its only been a few minutes and tons of people have asked about him. I'm very pleased. Thank you all for the tips!

Comentario de NeinnaWR

After trying the abandon macro for probably 3 hours today, I decided to try the killing/reviving method. Now, when I last tried it in, say, March or so, I just couldn't get the timing right. So I dreaded doing it and did my best with the macro method. I finally got fed up and did something else. About 6 tries later, I got a spiffy new mutt to call my instance buddy. Here's how I did it in 4.2:

Gear: NONE. So no haste, no crit, nothing. Level 85 night elf.

Buttons: Tame, Revive, Immolation Trap (I'm Survival with 3/3 improved traps, so 30% tick damage, that's probably important)

Now the real How-To: Body pull him without any gear on, lay down Immo trap. When it has 12 seconds remaining (give or take for server lag) hit tame. Spam your Revive button. For me, the tick "killed" him, but I could revive. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME TIMING. If it fails, don't give up!
-Did he die and you can't revive? tame a liiiiittle bit sooner.
-Did he become your pet, not die, and have no sword? Wait just a hair more before taming.

Hope this helps! And let's raise a glass to another fine pet! Neinna, Windrunner US

(Extra details: This is what was messing me up a good bit- I stood on his spawn and waited to hear his attack before tabbing in. He doesn't spawn with the sword, it takes a second to pin him down. Make sure he has it!

When I tamed him, he had no spells on his bar, but he had them all in the spell book. I couldn't call him, either. All I did was relog and he went back to normal.)

Comentario de 897213

Took me 3 hours but i tamed him. I was by myself and i had a 365ish item level. I had the Glyph of Immolation Trap at the time of taming. I simply got to about max range, put an Ice Trap between us, laid down an Immolation Trap and began my tame. Took me a while to properly get the exact distance needed but it worked. Will be using this wolf until Blizz finally comes out with a max level rare spawn wolf.

Comentario de 898193

The pet abandon method doesnt work anymore. it was fixed to really abandon the pet. the only way to do it now is to kill/revive method. Good luck!

Just confirming that as of the 1st of November this trick is still Available

it dose require pin point accuracy and timing to the millisecond but you may just luck out *shrugs*

I was in fully chanted 365 gear (tier 12 chest pants and gloves tier 11 belt boots and 365 pole-arm/gun the rest was all Zandalari heroics stuff)

I found that waiting 1 one thousand 2 1 thousand after the immolation trap initially went off and as I hit the and of the 2 cast tame

this is very very very difficult to do right, so don't get down if it takes you more then a few goes the get it right, I had also tried the tame/abandon trick(has been patched completely so don't waste your time). If you hear a Level Up Ping noise it didn't work even if the wolf disappears due to the res.If you didn't hear that ping Cancel the res the second you can and log out, you should see a normal version on your log in screen, but upon logging in and reviving the new pet the sword will still lodged firmly in his spectral skull

the main moral of this post is try and try again ((took me at least 4 hours to get it right))
and even if it didn't look like it went right it may have so never complete the res before logging out 1st!

also make sure you are a skinner. you WILL make a few dozen kills doing this >.>

Acording to a friend with an oil-stained wolf, you can use these pets In Instanced PvE/PvP. But the arenas are a no no :#

Happy Hunting and GOOD LUCK!

Still possible to tame as of 11/05/11. Just tamed him with the kill / tame method. I had to do it naked took all my gear off the crit made timing it almost impossible. Remove all your gear trap launch immolation let it tic once give it like 1-2 sec after the first tic depending on latency then tame. Be ready to do the revive pet right as its ending if you did it right he will poof log out log in rez cheer!

This pet can be tamed with the sword buff as of November 13th, 2011. I used the Immolation Trap method (I was level 85), no special number of slots free or anything. Just got nekkid except my tabard for modesty. Took 3 tries to get the timing just right.

Personally, I used a mental count to 5, hit tame, used the "/cast Revive Pet" macro to spam. On the successful attempt, he vanished and I logged out, in, hit call pet. After it said "pet is dead" I revived him to find the sword intact. There's so many neat pets out there that have buffs that persist through their death. Be warned: If you tame a pet that has a damage buff of any kind, you're risking damaging the community and getting your account banned. Just. Don't. Be. That. Guy.

Edit: I pulled the wolf out of my stable about a week ago (10/21/2012) and he still had the sword stuck in his noggin'. I noticed someone asked about that...

Comentario de Richpwn08

I just tried taming him last night with the macro but it wasn't working. Everytime I tried he would disappear like he should but then I log out and back in and he is not there just one wolf, Any advice?

Comentario de 821213

Anyone know if this is still tameable with the buff? Used the method with a friend to help. Got it to 'work' three times, but upon relogging and reviving him he turned out to just be the regular skin with no retained buff.
Have they hotfixed this because of the Princess Yauj exploit?

Comentario de Restorawr

Today I successfully made the corpse disappear and saw the corpse ding. Logged out, logged back in - no sword. :(
I hope this is still doable, it is certainly still around as I saw a hunter with this sword worg just yesterday.

edit: I got him! I called in my warlock mate to help me, and after a few attempts he was mine - after a relog and a rez :)

So, he is still available after 4.3!

Comentario de Richpwn08

Is using the macro still possible in 4.3?

Comentario de 929504

So I was able to get this today! Took me about an hour using the Immo trap method. Hardest part was judging the the distance for the trap to ensure enough ticks before tame went off.
Now just trying to work out a great name for this.
Thanks to all the hunters before me who threw up their advice here!

Happy Hunting!

Comentario de raven21ca

Well I tried the macro's and every time it would say Lua error and I tripple checked to make sure it was right! No luck

I took a couple ideas from a couple comments.. I have all 378 gear so I took off my pole arm

1.) I threw immolation trap at him
2.) Counted one one thousand two one thousand slowly
3.) Tame beast (I spammed NO macros during the tame beast)
4.) I revived pet as soon as tame beast was done and sword was in his mouth!

I haven't tried tamin him with polearm.. so I dont know if that helped or not

Comentario de Azsharya

STILL OBTAINABLE as of 12/31/2011 patch 4.3. The method I used was Linkalee's:

((Sorry, I am new to using Wowhead and this may not be the proper way to quote. My apologies.))

And you actually don't need an 85 friend if there's none on or you can't get one to help; just get a player that's 50+ and have them lower the health until almost dead. Then, have them shadowmeld/feign death/vanish whatever they can use to drop their aggro and appoint it to you (make sure you have some aggro and have attacked/tried to tame at least once so he will attack you when your friend loses aggro, instead of The Lone Hunter simply going back to his spot and recovering).

Timing is important with this, as I personally recieved my lovely wolf first try with a dagger through his skull, yet for my cousin is took well over 30+ tries to get it right (seeing as he was the 85 and I was only level 64; I couldn't one shot per say)

I also found it helpful for the tamer to use this macro:
/cast revive pet

A nice thank you to erndog for that macro, for psoting it here. This macro will make it possible to spam revive pet while the tame is going and it will not interrupt it.

AND ONE MORE THING. REMEMBER TO RELOG, because, at least for my cousin and I, he didn't appear in our "Call Pet" slots until we did.

The sword has remained intact after logging out, dismissing, flying and landing. I have not tried battlegrounds, arenas, or dungeons because I am afraid to haha. If anyone has input on this, please let me know :)

Comentario de jmiles82

Lol, not sure what they are talking about a tough tame at 85. I just tossed a freezing trap on him and tamed him - nothing hard about it at all - this is ver 4.3 of game - maybe that was the difference...

Comentario de 881683

Tamed him 2 says ago spamming the "/cast Revive Pet" macro and having a friend kill him.

He keeps the sword through everything except arena because arena removes appearance altering buffs.

As of patch 4.3.3, The Lone Hunter is no longer tameable with sword in head using all of the trick tame methods.

Comentario de Random33698

Found the info on why this is NOT tamable anymore in 4.3.3

http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?t=17487&p=357531

It was because of a guild doing an exploit. Plain and simple. Will we get it back? Who knows. But for now, this is a retired pet if you want the sword buff.
You can still get the ghost wolf look, however.

Comentario de WhiteLama

Hah, I am so overjoyed that they made this wolf untamable, now the one I got back at level 41 (sword in head and all) is even more rare than it was before!

Fitting as hell on my undead hunter :D

Comentario de yezdk

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
If you use the command /script PetAbandon() the last pet you dismissed will be abandoned without confirmation.
Be sure to put all your beloved pets in the stable before you hit this macro, otherwise you lose your last dismissed pet!

Comentario de Eromee

I tamed this wolf 2 days ago. Once tamed, without trying anything out of the ordinary to keep it, the sword vanished. I only tamed him for his ghostly look, so there was no disappointment.

Can anyone comfirm sword in head still tameable Mists of Pandaria?

Comentario de Azaram

Something nobody else has mentioned; you do not have to be on the quest for the wolf to be there, and you don't have to have someone on the quest activate him. He's just lying down because he has a splitting headache...

Comentario de wildbodom

You sick bastards! Why would you try so hard to stick a sword in the poor guy's head?

Comentario de SpectraKitty

I'm sorry but that's just looks....... wrong. :(

Comentario de SylviaDragon

~~You can still get this pet with the sword in his head in mop!~~ (edit) Wrong! This has been hotfixed! let us know if you find a way to tame him again!

While you tame him you need to spam the macro /cast Revive Pet
You need to be in a duel with a friend
You need your friend to one shot the pet when you have about 0.3 seconds left on the tame.

If you do this right, the pet will die and vanish without the golden ding animation. You will get an error saying your pet is not dead. Relog and summon your pet.
I found that using the addon quartz was a big help.
Be prepared to fail for a couple of hours and get a lot of false tames. Don’t get frustrated. He is one of the tougher pets to tame because you have to wait for the respawn if you fail.
Good luck and have fun!

Comentario de MichaelaRD22

As of patch 5.1.0 I am trying to tame the wolf as my pet but with the sword in its head.
I've been trying for like hours to tame the wolf w/ its sword in its head,I tamed it forever ago when I was lvl 45 and have it now as pet w/ the ghostly affect (transparency) but no sword now I am lvl 75 (human hunter w/ beast mastery) and want the one w/ the sword. My sister is lvl 75 (also a human hunter w/ beast mastery) and is helping me do the kill/revive trick where I tame it and then when it gets RIGHT to the end of the tame bar at the exact time I have been reading to do it she will use her attack to kill it in one shot while I press the revive button but it's always too late because it will end up being tamed as my pet like normal w/out the sword. what are we doing wrong? I would like a video to show me it being done correctly by someone else but I only found one that uses that trick and I think it's an older patch.PLEASE help! thanks so much! :)

Comentario de MichaelaRD22

I tried the abandon pet macro /script AbandonPet () to get the pet wolf w/ the sword in its head and I thought it had almost worked because as I was taming the wolf I was spamming (pressing a million times) the macro button and then in the end instead of the wolf dying or become my pet, it just disappeared. Then I did it again and this time it became my pet the big yellow letters 'wolf has reached level 75' popped up on my screen and underneath the wolf it said 'Elenah's pet' and it ran to my side, still had the sword in its head and then just disappeared a second later.I logged out, logged back in and he was not in my call pets so I tried reviving but nothing happened, didn't work. What could I be doing wrong? Is it not working b/c of the new patch (5.1.0) or am I doing the trick wrong? please help, thanks.

Comentario de PunterHunter

here is a little sum up to your Q & A,

Q: is the sword/killtame method still available?

A: This has been patched unfortunately, I have had 2 hunter friends confirm they could not preform this glitch, and they have the best timing of anyone I know .

Q: is it still tamable?

A: yes this mob is still tamable, Unlike the Worgen pet glitch, I believe they have just patched the glitch for it

Q: I have this pre patch should I use him in arena to show off?

A: I actually get asked this quite a lot when running around with Migraine(my lone hunter), and the short answer is No, longer answer is NOOOO!, taking this pet or any other buffed pets(Ie. oil-stained wolf/Hawk etc) will cause the buff to be removed, no ifs, ands, buts or maybes.

Q: Should I use this pet in LFR

A: while you CAN use these pets in LFR and heroic and normal dungeons I would strongly advise against doing so in LFR, I had a crab with a beer bottle from a tame/macro exploit/glitch which when I used in LFR, which was ticketed by another player and removed from me. while this may have been an unfortunate random happening, it never hurts to be careful.

Happy Hunting! :3

I'm pretty sure that this is a reference to Dark Souls' Sif.

Comentario de 354616

As a trivia item, I arrived to kill this mob for the quest line just as someone else finished killing him. So I sat down on the stump nearby to wait for respawn (it's just south of his location and looks like a chair).

The stump breathes ... it's freaking cool IMO

On a more topical note, his respawn timer is only a few minutes.

Comentario de 671698

Nobody mentioned that this wolf as pet doesn't have a shadow - he's ghost, duh. But it looks kinda freaky...

Comentario de Elcoureudboi

I just lost the sword in the head skin while entering arena with him.. after maybe 4-5 year being my all days long pet... i'm seriously sad... :(
And i didn't realize it was from arena so i've taked my other wolf with oily skin from borean tundra.. lost him too... omg... still have flaming boar and oily bird of prey... but they dont give me 5% crit QQ

Comentario de WowAngyl

Can't it be enough that this is the ONLY non-saber Ghost Worg in the game? And very transparent at that. He has this more peaceful and spiritual look to it than the more cartoony saber style ghost worgs. It's a wonderful pet and I'm happy enough to have one without the sword. Personally I think it looks nicer without it, but I wish it was still there for everyone else.

On an off topic note, there is a rare red Hyena that can be found sleeping close by. One of the few, and I think the nicest looking, to be found on this continent. The respawn is a bit of a wait and it's close enough to The Lone Hunter that it is often killed by questers.

Also there's a Sporebat that pops up among the mushrooms north of here around the middle of the map. It's the lowest level Sporebat in the game and the only Spore Bat outside of Outland and Draenor.

I was quite groggy this morning and not thinking. I queued for the 15th Anniversary event's BG. I queued with this pet as my active one. After having this pet by my side for at least a decade, she is changed now. The sword got removed. I am quite upset. I knew that it would be removed from arenas (and avoided them due to this), but I did not think it would be effected by this BG. I was wrong and sad and hoping that a GM takes pity on me to restore her to her former glory.

Comentario de ayligerwolf

For those who missed their chance to tame this wolf with its dagger intact, I have made a video on current pets(up to BfA) that are available that also have things impaled in them, and what's even better, they aren't glitch tames nor macro required. Blizz have made these pets purposely keep them after tame.

WORST HOTFIX

Comentario de HushGlowie

I just found out about an old Welsh tale that I think this NPC might be based off of.
"Gelert is a legendary wolfhound associated with the village of Beddgelert (whose name means "Gelert's Grave") in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. In the legend, Llywelyn the Great returns from hunting to find his baby missing, the cradle overturned, and Gelert with a blood-smeared mouth. Believing the dog had devoured the child, Llywelyn draws his sword and kills Gelert. After the dog's dying yelp, Llywelyn hears the cries of the baby, unharmed under the cradle, along with a dead wolf which had attacked the child and been killed by Gelert. Llywelyn is overcome with remorse and buries the dog with great ceremony, but can still hear its dying yelp. After that day, Llywelyn never smiles again."
This would explain why this NPC has a sword stuck through it, and why it's undead. I could totally be wrong, but I think it's a really cool comparison and I like to think that Blizzard would put more effort into this lil guy instead of being just another dead wolf.
