Taming All the Pets
This week, after crossing a very cool Goblin Hunter who was running with Stinky at his side, I realized that I couldn’t tame all the pets in Azeroth. I don’t know how this happened, but I completely forgot about the existence of the taming tomes.
After running the macros below, I noticed that I was still missing Gargons, Cloud Serpents and Blood Beasts.
/run for k,v in pairs({['Blood Beasts']=54753,['Undead']=62255,['Cloud Serpents']=62254,['Gargon']=61160})do print(format('%s: %s', k, C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and '\124cff00ff00Yes\124r' or '\124cffff0000No\124r')) end
/run for k,v in pairs({['Direhorns']=138430,['Mechanicals']=205154,['Feathermanes']=242155})do print(format('%s: %s', k, IsPlayerSpell(v) and '\124cff00ff00Yes\124r' or '\124cffff0000No\124r')) end
Here is the lists of all the tomes and where to find them (from Wowhead):
- Tome of the Hybrid Beast is sold by Pan the Kind Hand in Trueshot Lodge for 1000 Order Resources. You need to have completed your class Order Campaign in order to buy this. Your hunter alts can buy it without having to re-do the campaign.
- Blood-Soaked Tome of Dark Whispers drops from Zul in Uldir on either Normal, Heroic or Mythic difficulty. It unlocks the taming ability for your other hunter(s) on your account.
- Ancient Tome of Dinomancy drops from the Zandalari Dinomancers on Isle of Giants. Zandalari Troll hunters do not need this tome to tame Direhorns.
- How to School Your Serpent is sold by San Redscale to players Exalted with the Order of the Cloud Serpent. The tome can be used by any classes with the reputation and will unlock the taming ability for your other hunter(s) on your account.
- Simple Tome of Bone-Binding is a world drop obtainable from elites in Maldraxxus and Plaguefall. It unlocks the taming ability for your other hunter(s) on your account. Undead hunters do not need this tome to tame Undead beasts.
- Mecha-Bond Imprint Matrix is crafted by engineers with the Schematic: Mecha-Bond Imprint Matrix, which is sold by Xur’ios for 1 Curious Coin. The schematic is BoP, but the tome can be bought and sold at the auction house. It doesn’t appear to unlock account-wide for your hunter alts (needs confirmation). Gnome, Goblin and Mechagnome hunters dot not need this tome to tame Mechanical beasts.
- Gargon Training Manual drops from Huntmaster Petrus in Revendreth. It unlocks the taming ability for your other hunter(s) on your account.
The first new pets that I tamed were Stinky and Precious from Icecrown Citadel. After taming these magnificent pets, I continued to the Lich King and he dropped a Drudge Ghoul, yay!
