/way 81.5 49.2 IronbackHow to tame it
- You need to be level 51 or higher: Tame Beast only works on beasts of your level or lower.
- Dismiss or stable your current pet first. Tame Beast does not work while another pet is out.
- It is not elite, so a hunter of its level can tame it alone. Start Tame Beast from range; if it reaches you, the channel keeps going while it hits you.
- Rares come back slowly (12–24 h in Classic) and other hunters look for them too. Check every spawn point before you wait at one.
- After the tame, use Feed Pet with fish, fungus, fruit, and raw fish to keep it happy.
