taming a swoopFollow

#1 Aug 30 2009 at 9:36 AM Rating: Decent
I have to tame a swoop for the 'tame the beast' quest for the tauren race.
Every time it uses the swoop ability I get knocked over and the taming fails...
Has anyone got ideas how to tame it?

Hmm...never leveled a Tauren hunter that far, is it possible you're going after a higher level than the one you need to tame?

If luck's not doing it for you, take the zeppelin to durotar and pick up the quest for makrura eyes and crawler mucus in sen'jin village, it will get you a nice snare you can use to keep the swoop away while you tame it.

Try, try and try again.
It sucks major donkey balls but it's all you've got.


I did the same for my polar bear at level 11, it was hell and took me 20+ minutes to tame but she's still happily clawing away at mobs next to me for dailies and such.

I know they can kick pretty hard and interrupt taming so try to tame the swoop which i think are on the north side of Bloodhoof village only and if possible whatever one is the lowest level , stand as far away as possible and i found if you get knocked over get up and try again as fast as possible as they seem to only interrupt you once per fight , it may help if a priest gives you a stamina buff and the idea of that sticky glue quest Lady isyris said about may give you those few extra seconds you need , but i did it easily enough first time and i guess there would be lots of complaints here if it was as bad as it seems although i cannot remember any threads about it , so as has been said keep trying and you will get it in the end.
