Mid Ranks of GoreFollow

So, I've rolled a Hunter for the first time and I'm really enjoying running around with my little black boar named Puddles. However, while cruising Petopia I see that ranks 5 and 6 of Gore cannot be learned.

I'm curious. Were they originally in the game? Are they in the game but are only possessed by untameable boars?

Also, is it a better idea for me to train my boar in Bite for those mid levels or just roll with Rank 4 until the late 40s?

Lol I didn't believe you so had to check myself. Your right it doesn't have a trainable list for gore ranks 5 and 6.

I would think some boar between the levels of 30-45 would have one or the other. Perhaps the boars in RFK/D(I forget which of the two is the higher leveled instance)? What level are they low to mid 30s?

My only suggestion really is to use the beast lore ability on any boars you come across that are around the level range of 30-45.

*blush* I did the same thing! I checked Petopia and Thott, but I couldn't find any mid-level critters with Gore 5 or 6.

I think you'll get more DPS from an appropriate level bite than you would a low level Gore. You can always respec your pet for 10s once you get to a level where you can get Gore 7.

i don't know why the levels are missing, but i didn't worry about it much. i just kept gore from whatever level bellygrub teaches until the blasted land boars.

you can check the comparative damage with bite, but i think gore is better with the chance for extra damage.

there never have been a gore rank 5 or 6.
its because there arent any pets that can have them in that level range if i'm correct.

I find it really curious that Petopia lists values for the amount of damage that Gore does at those levels then.

I'm not by any means criticizing Petopia - in fact selecting my pet has been perhaps the most fun part of playing my Hunter so far (only level 18 but I had a lot of fun in VC last night). This is just a real curiosity for me and based upon some of your replies I guess it has taken some of you aback as well.

Thanks though for your help!

The last known Boar you can tame is lvl 28 in the RFK instance, known as the Rotting Agam'ar they range in level from 26-28. There are no other boars from lvl 29-47. Then you can finally tame a level 48 Boar in the blasted lands. Mostly why there haven't been any Gore ranks for that level either.

There's a Rare Boar you can tame at lvl 50 in the blasted lands as well, but then you won't see another boar until lvl 60 out in the Eastern Plaguelands (the plagued swine). After that, there are no more tame-able boars (not even in outlands, they're all considered Demons). Although you can get higher ranks of Gore from Ravagers at least, but as for levels 29-47 you're kind of stuck with Bite.
