ive seen an orc hunter tame a flaming one! how?

Commento di 714538

if you intend on taming the flaming boar while its still a glitch, I would suggest bringing a friend. having an extra pair of hands is a must. I gave it all I could alone from freezing traps to haste potions. I actually found out from own experience that some boars have different timers, some die at exaclty 7 seconds, some even die earlier as soon as 5 seconds. so each boar may vary.

anyways, I found for me the best method is to start taming the boar as close or even on top of one of the troughs. In my case I stood right on top of one of the troughs and then had a friend through the torch about two seconds into the taming. Took me 30 minutes trying to do it alone, but when my friend arrived it only took two tries and it was done.

At least for me, my experience was different in comparison to the comment above. As seeing its a glitch so not everyone's successful tame will be exactly the same. From what appeared to be a failed tame: My pet died right at the very end of tame but no ding appeared (and you shouldn't see it actually, if you do it didn't work). I tried it again on another boar but it wouldn't let me because it kept saying that I had an active pet summoned already. hmmm lol, so I looked at my active pets and I only had three so clearly something must have worked. Instead of logging off, I ran to the closest stable and boom the boar was automatically appeared in my active pets. I found that his icon would only appear if you talk to the stable master. This was my method, others I'm sure had different and faster methods.

Hope you get your flaming boar! He and the oil-stained worg are quite the hazards, don't want to be getting them together. But we keep them around because they are cool :)

Just wanted to post this saying that if your boar dies it does not lose its flaming effect when you rez it, since I haven't seen anyone else say one way or the other. I mention this because I remembered a while back when I was doing research on interesting tamable pets like the battleboar, a post on Petopia referenced it as well as several others obtained in a similar fashion, and apparently some lost their effects when they died. So naturally I was rather wary, intending to just keep them for around town, but I tamed one as a level 10 hunter and sure enough, it ended up dying as I leveled. So dreading what would happen, I rezzed it... and lo and behold, still flaming. So it seems that if you had any reservations about using it in combat, it's perfectly safe.

tl;dr - (as of 4.0.6, anyway) For anyone wondering, once you've tamed a flaming boar, it'll stay flaming after being rezzed, so use and abuse it to your heart's content.

Hello,
On the page: http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/boarskinbrownarmored_ghost.html ,
it is stated that, "This look is not currently used on any creature in our database."
I'm not sure when the change was implemented but I just tamed this pet today. 3/23/2010.
First boss in Razorfen Kraul.
He spawned about 3 of these ghost boars called "spirit boar". After the boss died, they stayed attacking me. So I freeze trapped one. Took the other two down, and tamed the beast while he was still in the freeze trap. Then he died a few seconds later. I clicked "logout" and then I logged back in. Then I revived my pet and he was there. A ghost brown boar!

Just did this 09APR11 - the trick is the spamming revive pet as you need to revive right on when tame stops (so your cast bar will go from tame pet to instantly revive pet.) If you see a ding it didn't work, if you can't revive it didn't work but if your tame is completed, you didn't see a ding and you can revive the chances are you did this correct.

On one toon when I dismissed the boar the first time I couldn't call back because the boar was missing on my pet bar, if this happens don't panic, what I did was just log out then back in and it was there in my pet bar to call.

For me I had to create a trial account and roll a tauren and level up to the 'feed of evil'quest. I then flew both my horde and allie hunters to the boar spot. Next using dual window mode I trapped the boar and cast tame on my hunter then I switched screens and had my tauren throw the torch - the time difference from tame to the torch was 3 sec. It took some goes but you do get the hang of it. Once you have the boar see if any friends or guildies want one while you're in the 'zone' because you do pick up a feel for it and taming becomes easy. It's also a great money maker as I charged unknown hunters gold to try taming the boars.

My hot tip is to not light all the troughs in your attempt otherwise your tauren has to abandon the quest and run back and pick it up, just stick to two troughs and run back and forth.

Alas it's been patched *wraps piggy in flame proof cotton wool and places him carefully into stable*

As of today it is still tamable. I just tamed one by having a regular one in one slot and hitting the macro at the last second. Just used mighty speed potion took about 1 1/2 hrs to get it. Worth the trouble! named him bacon

Commento di 849808

Still tamable as of 4.2
did it on my troll hunter which adds an advantage to the cast time of tame beast due to the troll racial of berserking (20% increase attack and casting speed) took about 3 attempts.
If your having trouble with the cast taking to long, then ask a mage shaman or even another hunter for a BL :P

Commento di Smocks

As of patch 4.2 the method needed has changed. After hours of trying with the pet abandon method and failing we tried our own method. To save anyone reading the pain we suffered here is the new details.

The new way to get the boar with flames is to throw the torch or have someone else do it 4 seconds into the tame. This means you TAP the torch throw on the count of 4 not after. The boar will run like a chicken with its head cut off but if you do not have ice trap that is ok. When you have 1 second tame time left start spam casting a macro with "/cast Revive Pet" and if done right you will start the revive before you see the level up/successful tame ding.

Believe me! he was pain in tha butt to get after zillion of try of the old suggestions... I can clearly say it now..... IT DO NOT WORK (especially those that are low level Hunters).

Commento di Kanegasi

I tamed a flaming boar with no macros, no potions, no help from another toon, and at level 10.

Simply get the quest, get as far as you can from one of the boars eating at the trough you're about to torch without your tame beast greyed out, toss the torch, then spam tame beast right after the GCD for the torch finishes. If you hit tame beast too soon, you cancel the torch throw and start taming. If you hit tame beast too late, the boar will die before it's tamed.

You'll have to blow a few tries at the beginning in order to get an idea of where the boars run around to. Each one that spawns at the troughs has a general direction they run off to all the time and you'll have to find the right spot to stand to prevent them from running out of range. If you torch all three troughs, you don't have to abandon the quest. You can keep torching the troughs to your heart's content. The only restriction to your tries is the respawn timer of the boars eating at the troughs.

It's all about timing and how the game communicates with the server. It took me quite a few tries to get it. The boar will look like it died, but disappear instead of leaving a corpse. If you can cast revive pet, it failed, but if you get a "your pet isn't dead" error (forgot the wording) and your new pet icon is a whistle instead of a boar, DO NOT CALL IT OUT. Log out, and log back in. Call pet. Enjoy flaming boar.

im trying to tame him at lvl 10 and its just not working i almost get it off and it either runs outta my range or dies is there a lvl requirement for this tame? i am now 28 with freeze trap and still cant get it to work right boar dies b4 tame is done. any sugesstions

Commento di selkiesidhe

Still available. Just got it. Took a long while with my lil level 10 hunter- just could not get the timing right. But it IS possible to do without traps or buffs, etc.

My advice for low levels is to make a trial account, play in windowed mode. Stand right next to the trough and pig. Start taming and after two seconds, have your other throw the torch. One second left, start spamming rez.

I got a couple of weird error messages like "your pet is not dead" yet I couldnt revive. Couldnt summon pig but after I had clicked on the pig icon, I could then rez. Flaming piggie!

Confirmed for 4.2.2, Sep 26 to be fully working, and doesn't break when you mount/logout/dismiss him/switch pets/anything else I could think of. Took me 3 tries only to get him, but I was coordinating on voice chat with my Tauren friend. I just dropped a freezing trap, hit tame, had Tauren torch it at 7.2 seconds left, spammed revive below 1 second left he died(But I didn't actually cast the revive spell, once I saw the revive was working, I stopped it), I logged out, logged back in, couldn't revive pet, I selected him from the list to summon him, said he was dead, then I revived him, and there it was.

Commento di Thayi

I quickly spec'd to BM and took out my core hound for ancient hysteria. Used the ability and then dismissed my core hound. Trapped the boar and successfully tamed it. Took me two attempts. I find it works best if you stay at max range for tame beast. You can start taming the boar while the torch is still in the air so you will be able to snag the pet before it dies on you (well before you need it to).

/script PetAbandon()

Has been removed from the game.

Tame at the second the beast dies. This requires cooperation of both the Tauren alt and the Hunter.

Commento di 909102

This is working as of 11/6/2011. I used a freezing trap on the boar I was going to tame. I got as far away as I could to throw the torch and began the tame as soon as possible. I kept spamming Revive Pet on the boar. On my successful attempt, the boar simply disappeared, but I had no whistle icon on my pet bar, as if nothing ever happened. I got curious and logged out and on my login screen, a no so flaming boar -_- was staring at me. I logged in and I had the option to call my boar pet. Sure enough, it was flaming. It works, you just need to keep trying. Also, I used no potions. My tame cast time is 9.7 seconds if that helps anyone any.

Commento di thomassando

Am I the only one that finds that the boar gets more and more fiery for every time you call it? I mean at the beginning I was disapointed because it wasnt as fiery as the pics, but now... Man, it's all covered in fire!

Commento di TheDoomcookie

As of patch 4.3.3, Armored Battleboar is no longer tameable with flames using all of the trick tame methods.

Commento di 857029

The flaming boar can not be taken into normal arena cause it will loose its flame, but can be taking into the brawlers arena.

Commento di Frpw

Since patch 5.1, this guy, along with most all previous appearance buff pets, are once again tamable through the method described here.

Commento di fablesofbeasts

This mob is part of the quest I cinghiali da guerra

For those looking to tame this battleboar with the flaming effect, it is no longer possible. Blizzard has fixed "buff" tames. I can vouch that as someone who tamed this pet while the glitch was still working, my boar still has the flaming effect. I do not know if he will retain it upon dying as I have not let him die, and as others have said it is likely to lose the effect upon entering arena/battlegrounds/etc. So alas, he will probably be a trophy stable pet from now on.

Commento di ZevilDog

The boars are skinnable but yield nothing, but improves your skinning ability.

Commento di Grashka

Many years ago, if you were very patient, you could tame these boars while on fire. It took forever to get it just right, with all the timing and adjustments needed, but it was truly a unique pet. I tamed mine and loved him for YEARS, until recently, a sneaky patch removed the fire. Alas...

RIP U'kali!
