They are ghost wolves summoned by the Grimtotem Spirit-Shifters in Dustwallow Marsh.

Note: No longer tameable :(

Commentaire de 46565

These show as tameable under Beast Lore, but despawn after five seconds, before the channel can complete.

Commentaire de 100868

I've been trying to determine if there's a method whereby these can be tamed. They seem to be immune to being trapped, but I don't know if some other form of CC might prevent them from dying 5 seconds in.

This may be impossible however, in which case making them flagged as tamable was a fairly cruel joke on blizzard's part.

Commentaire de Brandstone

Has anyone tried getting their Priest friend to MC a Grimtotem Spirit-Shifter, and maybe extending the duration of this guy for taming? It is possible to tame by using the Mystical Skyfire Diamond proc; and either troll berserking racial, LW drums, or Shaman buff. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60992473@N00/sets/

I'm a little bit peeved that so far it appears to be almost impossible for everyone except trolls.

While it might be theoretically possible to use Quagmirran's Eye in conjunction with some other spell haste to make it happen, the timing is going to be unbelievably difficult to pull off. If I ever get my hunter to 70 I intend to attempt it, though.

(TW server)
Tamed successfully with Blood Elf hunter (with the use of Mystical Skyfire Diamond + Bloodlust)
Estimated maximum time error ~0.1second (the reaction time you require to target and start taming)

Good luck on taming him

Commentaire de 43530

Just a minor addition to this... links to all the said items and spells....

Tame Beast which by default is a whole 20 seconds... 4x's the lifetime of these wolves... >_<

Meta gem Mystical Skyfire Diamond
Diamond made by Alchemist, then Cut by Jewelcrafter, cuts next spell time by 50% when this procs.

Bloodlust/Heroism: Horde/Alliance Shaman Spell, Speed boosts of +30%.

Drums of Battle: Haste Rating boosted by 80 -> ~5% boost.

Trolls only Beserking Boost based on how close one is to death... at <=10% life, you gain +30% speed reduction.

Again, your best bet is being a troll... but as is shown further down this page, there is at least one person who's not a troll running around with one of these guys...

Edit: Since this post is nice and green now... I'd figured I'd also link one other item mentioned further down the page.

Juju Flurry, which provides +30 Haste Rating to spells and melee... and is obtainable from the repeatable quest Frostsaber E'ko down at Winterspring. There's a whole chain you'll need to finish first if you so desire access to this quest and associated item, however.

-----------------------
NOTE: You DO NOT need to be Level 70 to tame him.

So far, the earliest known level possible to attain the Ghost Wolf is at level 66. This is so as it's the EARLIEST possible level to aquire and USE a helmet with a Meta-Gem Socket.

HOWEVER, doing so requires collecting Spirit Shards, which drop from Auchidoun bosses only when your faction has the Bone Wastes buff. Upon attaining 18 Shards, you can buy one of the many Exorcist helms, then feel free to get the Caster Diamond and follow all the other stuff said so far.

The next best bet would be to complete the quest The Warlord's Hideout, which is attainable at level 67, and requires just completing the whole Steamvault Instance. It rewards you with a helm that also sports a Meta-gem socket.

---- UPDATE 1/14/2008

YOU CANNOT TAME THIS BEAST ANYMORE!

Warning, despite receiving a Blue post saying this would not be fixed... we now have a new blue post on the US forums here saying: "Through a hotfix we’ve recently removed the ability to tame a Grimtotem Spirit Guide. Players who have already gone through the trouble of taming the creature will be able to keep them unchanged. This hotfix only removes the possibility to tame this creature from here on.

The removal of the spirit guide has been debated within design discussions for a while now as to what impact the pet and its precedent has on the game.
The unintended nature of the taming, the undead status of the guide, appearance of the wolf in relation to the feel of the hunter class, and the complex processes of taming were all issues touched upon and discussed.

Ultimately the discussions brought us to the conclusion that this should not be a permanent addition to the pet selection available to hunters; however, those that have already tamed them should be allowed to keep them due to their efforts in obtaining one."

So now, we get yet another lovely example of a bad habit blizzard has: to make unannounced hotfixes which sometimes contradict previous messages given to the community.

To all hunters that haven't gotten the pet, and actually bought that gem... I am sorry to hear that you've lost a decent chunk of gold.

To the few that did get this pet... be worried... who knows if they'll go back on their word to not remove our new pet, now that they went back on their word that they wouldn't "fix" the issue letting us tame it to begin with!

--- UPDATE 2/20/2011

Blizzard bought the Ghost Wolf back. Karoma the Ghost wolf can be found in Twilight Highlands. However he's no longer a wolf, but a Spirit Beast, suitable for this creature. This however means that those who didn't tame this guide CANNOT run around with a Ghost wolf unless they are Beast Masters.

So as it stands this pet is still somewhat rare...

Glad they brought him back tho in some form.

Lol powito, the pic of the wolf in zangar/ under bw was my wolf! you took that off manias website >_<. Also for those interested i wrote a guide there as well for how to tame them.

Commentaire de 86496

I brought a 70 shammy and a 48 priest w/ me- The dumb priest said there was no abilities on the totem guy... Is the priest too low or was he just a noob? I have wasted 2 hours on this crap. I want my wolf.

Commentaire de Toldry

post things that have a meta gem socket HERE

Commentaire de 105633

I tamed this on my first try today with a group of attentive people.

first, make a macro:

/target grimtotem spirit guide
/cast tame beast

second, get a priest friend to MC the caster. this really isn't necessary, but it makes it really really easy (after all, we got it in one try this way.)

third, with an (activated) Mystical Skyfire Diamond in your helm, start spamming aspects. you should have a leatherworker and a shaman friend in your group paying attention to your buffs.

When they see 'focus' proc (the meta gem proc, its a yellowish buff icon) they should each pop their respective Drums of Battle or Heroism/Bloodlust. at this time, you should start mashing on your macro you just made. make sure when you do this that there are no wolf corpses around, or this could probably bug up in annoying ways.

When your priest sees that both of these buffs are up, he should release the hounds. since you'll already be mashing on the macro at this point, it's almost guaranteed to work.

Commentaire de VoiD

Anyone found the best place to level this pet after getting it to 60 (Being a lvl 70)?

I found the best place to get it from 30-60 is at the Firewing place in Terrokar, just keep him by your side and tear up the warlocks, as they are casters they just lob shad bolts at you (no melee), most of which you resist anyway. Takes a few sessions, but it's relatively easy to get him to 60, and you pick up a host a greens, a few tomes and a shed load of signets to boot.

I'm just stuck where to go after 60 as the xp required goes through the roof :(

Maybe just instance runs from here on?

To think they made many more people aware of this beast to begin with because in the 2.3.2 PTR, the Hunter Premades came with this pet!

Sorry to say... but I'm worried for Fus'Obeah (my Ghost Wolf) now... ;(

Commentaire de smashfanDS

It seems that Grimtotem Spirit Guides can't be summoned anymore by the shaman mobs, which means they can't be tamed. Whoever already tamed the pet earlier gets to keep it though.

Commentaire de 46688

i was lucky enough to get it in time, so im one happy hunter with one pretty ghost wolf - the question is what i should name it :)

Commentaire de 154570

"These amazing wolves were briefly tameable, but Blizzard removed them from the game in January 2008. Then in March 2008, in Patch 2.4, they were replaced by the Grimtotem Spirit Wolf -- which cannot be tamed."

Commentaire de 154570

Well, on the bright side-Hunters who took the time to tame it will be able to sell their accounts on E-bay for much more! (Sarcasm :P)

Commentaire de Lukrid

I actually have a level 70 version of one of these bad boys named Fenrir on my hunter. Took forever to level it to 70 but it seems to be worth it. Furious Howl means your pet can still be somewhat useful even on those pet-unfriendly raid boss encounters. Hasn't been removed by Blizz yet :P

Commentaire de 133764

Glad I got mine just in time. :-) Named him "Hologrim".

Sweet im the first comment

ok

Are u able to tame this beast?

Commentaire de Thottbot

heh you used to be able to it was removed in January >.< this is a kick ass wolf tho

WE WILL MISS YOU GHOST WOLF!

Commentaire de Thottbot

I think it is for the best that it can't be tamed, First everyone would want to get it and then no one would really have something that is a rare pet. Either way if Blizz really did make a pet like this i'm sure they would make more then one Glowing Awesome pet.

Commentaire de Thottbot

my friend still has one of these wolfs it is actually in his stable

Commentaire de Thottbot

What happened to the ones that were already tamed when they made him untameable?
My hunter was too low to wear a Metastone-Headpeace when he was tameable so I never had one, but I'm curious about what happend to the ones already tamed and leveled.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Oww i wanted this pet for my *!@#$%^ but i guess blizz hates me lol

Commentaire de Thottbot

I think it is really crap that this wolf cant be tamed anymore >< It was the only reason why i leveled up my hunter the last 7 lvls she had :S
And since Blizzard even did say that they would let this wolf remain tamable, i thought there was no reason to rush either =/

And tbh....even if this pet would be tamable, everyone wouldnt have it. It requires to much to make it a pet...you need a shaman for heroism/bloodlust, a priest with mind control, a metahelmet with a socket that reduces casting speed, and also drums of battle that requires LW to use..

Commentaire de Thottbot

Not Fair! Now some have it tamed and other's don't!

Commentaire de Thottbot

what cords guys?

Commentaire de Thottbot

I managed to get this pet during its tamable stage. Since the recent removal by blizzard of its tamable status, i aptly named it Lucky.

A big thanks to a friend for a long time, Shaman Bouncy of Nagrand and the random Priest that helped me get it Fodda.

As of this writing, Lucky is now 57. It will be a raiding pet, with Talon, my Ghost Saber as solo pet.

Since i also have a priest, Zophia of the same realm, i also participated in the taming of this pet for a fellow hunter.

Congrats to those that have this pet. It sure is totally unique now.

Commentaire de Thottbot

So this creature is part of the game?>:( If it still is, how about using the method with a shaman to tame it? Will that work or is it just useless? Which ever the case, its a sweet in general & I envy those who have em:)

By the way, when was it scratched from WoW, if it was?:|

Commentaire de Thottbot

i want one SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD
THIS LOOK AWESOME THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEM ARE SUPER LUCKY

Commentaire de Thottbot

Commentaire de Thottbot

I still have mine, won't ever release it. Thanks to my gf who made me go get one asap, they made them untameable like a week later.

Wotlk better give us more stable slots. There's no way I'm releasing my wolf, Humar or Shy Rotam. Stupid Blizzard.

so did u use the method u presented in ur previous post or did u manage 2 get it via other?

Now it's not tamable anymore. I suggest you complain in forums or by contacting the nearest blizzard employee if you wanted this pet...

Cant you sleep the Grimtotem Spirit Guide with a druid? Or will it still die, if slept?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Finally got this pup at level 67.
Very VERY nice looking pet, runs a tad slow-- Or looks like it at least.

Definately worth the trouble of getting this guy.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

(To the previous poster) You can't CC them at all.

Also, I had this problem so hopefully no one else will. The Meta gem (Mystical Skyfire Diamond) requires "More blue gems than yellow gems." Key word is GEMS, not Sockets. So if you need something to assist you in doing this, I suggest buying Heavy Clefthoof Boots and Only socketing the blue socket and leaving the yellow empty.

All I used was a meta socket helmet and a Shaman. You don't Need Battledrums but they would help.

Make a macro with this on first line: "/target grimtotem spirit guide;"
And this on 2nd line: "/cast tame beast"

Let priest and shaman know what it looks like when your Meta gem procs and let them know to do their thing when it does. (Priest summon wolves and Shaman pop BL/Heroism.)

Spam until you get 1/2 spell cast buff and then start spamming your macro. You'll have the pet in no time.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I dont understand why so much trouble for a freakin lvl 30 mob... unbeliveble!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The lowest possible level to tame this wolf at is 66. But you'll need 18 Spirit Shards from the Auch instances... For a level 66 Rare helm that has a meta socket.

You need:
One Shaman with Bloodlust/Heroism.
One Priest to Mind Control the Grimtotem Spirit-Shifter or whatever they are...
One Mystical Skyfire Diamond.
One item with a Meta-slot and more blue gems than yellow.
One Drums of Battle. (Requires 375 Leatherworking, effects the whole party though.)

First off, make sure your party knows what to do, the wolves are level 30 and despawn after 8seconds, well, die actually. You need to get your Mystical Skyfire Diamond to proc (Switch aspects before trying to tame.) This will cut your tame beast in half. Next, get your shaman to cast Bloodlust/Heroism. Now get someone to use Drums of Battle. Quick! Get the priest to Mind Control the Spirit-Shifter, summon wolves when you're ready, tame quickly (Put tame beast on your 1 hotkey, forget the macros) And with all of that stacked, you now have a Ghost wolf if it didn't fail. Drums have 50 charges each, so don't panic if you screw up.

These wolves will die 8 seconds after tamed, just rez it and it's all yours.
-Enjoy!

(I plan on getting this when I hit 67. Stay tuned for an update or suggestion I may have!)
I want one of these darn things... I mean Bullet is cool but.. /drool

Hope this works for you!
