Taming the Beast

A level 10 quest for the Horde, from level 10.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Use the Taming Rod to tame a Swoop. Practice your skills, then return the Taming Rod to Yaw Sharpmane in Bloodhoof Village.

Provided: Taming Rod

Description

The final task that I have for you requires that you tame a creature that inhabits the sky. The swoop is a difficult opponent, but as your ally, you will acquire its sharp attacks and threatening presence.

By the will of the Earthmother, when you return I will bestow you with the skills you will need to tame an animal of your choosing to be your companion; this creature will face the challenges you face, and gain experience alongside you. I will also show you how to call it and dismiss it as you wish.

Rewards

You will learn: Taming Lesson

Experience: 850

When you come back

You will soon be ready, ‹name›.

When you hand it in

You have learned all I can teach you, ‹name›. May the blessings of the Earthmother guide you in choosing a pet.

Here you are, ‹name›. I will now give you the power to tame a beast, as well as call it and dismiss it as you see fit. Use your new skills with pride and honor the Earthmother.
