I can’t tame any of the feathermanes in Shadowlands. Is there a scroll or book or something that is needed in order to tame them? I am at a loss right now as to why I can’t tame them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey,
So, yeah, you will need a tome from Trueshot Lodge in Legion in order to tame feathermanes.
Tome of the Hybrid Beast
There are requirements in order to unlock the purchase. Not sure if it has changed since it was current.
Tarrondor, thank you so very, very much for the information. Somehow I must have missed that during Legion.
So I was coming here to ask the same thing - have the requirements for this changed with Shadowlands? I wanted to be Horde for Shadowlands and so rolled a new hunter. I did not level in Legion and it seems ridiculous that I have to go back and do that quest line to get it now…?
The tome is bind on account, so if you still have your Alliance Legion hunter you can buy it and mail it to your horde Hunter.

OHHH thank you … I do have it and I have the class hall on that one.

but still… it seems ridiculous to expect new hunters to go farm up 1k resources and do the legion quest line.
I have the Tome bound to my account and can’t tame Feathermanes in SL.
They don’t expect new hunters to do it. But if you want the new pets it’s something to do. I joined very late legion and didnt do the legionfall campaign but I did it during prepatch for feathermane taming.
Mail it to the hunter you want to tame feathermanes and make that hunter use the tome. It ain’t a toy each hunter char needs to use a copy.
I have already learned it on my first hunter and the Tome is applied account-wide! When I go to the Stable Master it shows “Already known” for all three hunters that haven’t been able to tame Feathermanes that shows as tameable.
listen I can only tell you what works for me. If you choose not to listen that’s on you. I unlocked that tome two days ago learned it on my orc then mailed a copy to my troll then logged on to my troll and learned that copy. It worked for me good luck
I guess you just ignored the part about the fact that the Hunters were all told “Already known” at the stablemaster!
…but did you buy it on the hunter you want it on anyway? I didn’t ignore any part of your message you just keep repeating something I have asserted is irrelevant. If you want it on a hunter use the tome on the hunter.
Why?
There are plenty of other pets you can use without a tome that have the same abilities.
Why should everything be free just because other people who did it when it was current already have it?

Because it’s two expansions after the fact, and you’re supposed to be able to level through wherever you want. But for a brand new hunter to have to specifically level through legion in order to get that defeats the purpose of “level where you want”.
Even on my Alliance hunter that did a little of Legion while leveling I can’t get it. I have the 1k resources and the hunter hall but there’s still a TON of quests I have to do - too many to bother with.
If you can’t understand why that’s frustrating for someone who is new to WoW or came back after a very long break, well - I don’t know what to say to you.
But you don’t. You can roll BM and take a Pterrordax or Rylak and get the exact same abilities. Further, it was never leveling content in the first place, it was 7.2 endgame quest content.
I am frustrated that I don’t have all the TBC and Wrath transmogs I collected while raiding that content when it was current, because I censored the gear before transmogs was introduced. I am frustrated that I skipped most of MoP and didn’t know challenge modes were a thing until very late, meaning I missed out on that excellent transmogs set, forever. I am frustrated that my guild died and I didn’t have the time to out a group together in WoD to do challenge modes for the weapon skins as I had a newborn at the time. I’m also not whining and asking for those things to be brought back, much less handed to me for no effort, because I understand that an MMO is a live game, and part of that means if you miss something, you miss it.
This is quest content you can bang out in a weekend at most if you are actually motivated. It took me like 8 weeks when it was current due to timegates, which have been removed. That’s not even including the base class campaign, which was a few weeks due to timegates (which are all removed now as well).
Feathermanes are fundamentally a subpar pet in terms of mechanics, so if you want them, it’s for the cosmetics. Like literally any other cosmetic item in this game, if you want it, go do the content it comes from.
question any1 know if for hunters there is a way to find out what taming classes are unlocked for you and what you still need?
I don’t think there is, would be nice if the ones you knew appeared in your spell book.
i just found about this macro it lets you see what books you have learned and still need to learn then you can just look up where to find them
anyway heres the 2 lines run them one at a time on your hunter in the chat window
/run for k,v in pairs({[‘Blood Beasts’]=54753,[‘Undead’]=62255,[‘Cloud Serpents’]=62254,[‘Gargon’]=61160})do print(format(‘%s: %s’, k, C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and ‘\124cff00ff00Yes\124r’ or ‘\124cffff0000No\124r’)) end
and heres the other 4 books
/run for k,v in pairs({[‘Direhorns’]=138430,[‘Mechanicals’]=205154,[‘Feathermanes’]=242155})do print(format(‘%s: %s’, k, IsPlayerSpell(v) and ‘\124cff00ff00Yes\124r’ or ‘\124cffff0000No\124r’)) end
found this by a YT creator not sure if i can post names anyway good luck
