Taming the Beast (Orc and Troll 1) is the first pet taming quest in the chain of three for hunters in the Orc and Troll starting area of Durotar. It has the hunter capture a Dire Mottled Boar for use as a pet.

Objectives

Use the Taming Rod to tame a Dire Mottled Boar. Practice your skills, then return the Taming Rod to Thotar in Razor Hill.

Description

It is an admirable skill to command one's authority over nature. As a hunter, you must strive to learn to use the force and power inherent to any creature of your choosing.

Gaining control of an animal is not an easy feat; it is a task that you must undertake with much determination.

For your first assignment, take this taming rod and use it to tame a dire mottled boar. You can find them quite close to Razor Hill. Practice your skills in battle with the boar at your side, then return to me.

Progress

Good luck, young hunter.

Completion

You have done well, <name>. I believe you are ready for your next task.

Reward

850 Experience
