Tame Beast is a level 5 hunter ability that allows the hunter to train beasts and make them their life-long companions.

Hunters starting in Exile's Reach unlock this ability during B Hunter [1-10] Taming the Wilds.

Limited beast families

Exotic beasts

Some families of beasts are considered exotic. These families can only be tamed by Beast Mastery hunters, who have the [Exotic Beasts] ability.

Taming tomes

Some families of beasts require reading taming tomes before being able to tame them:

Notes

  • Interruptions will cause a taming attempt to fail. This includes stuns, knock downs, and silences, but does not include the daze effect.
  • You can only tame beasts that are at your level and below. Raid bosses count as the level of the raid plus 3. For example, the Mogu'shan Vaults are currently level 35, so the quilen of the Stone Guard require at least level 38 to tame.
  • Some beasts cannot be tamed. Only certain families of beasts are tamable, and even within those families not every member is tamable. To ensure the beast you want is tamable, you may want to cast [Beast Lore] on it for more information.
  • Having a bodyguard follower will break the taming process, so it's better to dismiss the bodyguard beforehand.
