How do I tame the porcupines? I get naked and try to punch it and it 1 shots it. I dont have the patience to wait out a rare spawn so I was hoping to grab one of them since theyre always up but I keep killing them lol, I want a spirit beast that’s not the raptor (I want to make him my 2nd pet for looks) and I dont have the patience to camp a spawn as I want to get to gearing up this guy.
lol, have you tried trapping it with freezing trap?
You have to kill your toon while
Naked and take rez sickness and fly back super fast.
Helps if you mark the mob so you can get back to it faster.
Recently helped a new hunter friend get her porcupine. Heres how we did it: she naked died and took rez sickness, flew back fast (apparently rez sickness is like 1 minute on max characters in old zone or something) punched porcupine twice (3 killed it) then i wailed on it with a lvl 30 rogue until it was below the threshold. Super jank but it worked. Solo im unsure how you’d do it.
if you JUST want a spirit beast the mana cats in legion suramar don’t have any tame challenges and are up all the time, you can just tame two of them back to back:
Otherwise try grabbing the Whole Body Shrinka toy as well as being naked. You can also try combining the toy with rez sickness.
Look up the toy called Whole Body Shrinka’. When you use it, it makes you tiny and reduces your damage dealt by like 99%. That’s what I used to weaken and tame the red spirit porcuboi.

Get naked except for 1 random armor item, kill yourself and attack it with rez sickness. If it survives two blows but still has the anti-tame debuff, feign death. Put on another random armor piece, try again. I did it with a trinket that gave 325 agility.
use the foam sword toy?

That does not work on a ton of enemies including this one. I don’t know what the hell a “non trivial” enemy is but if it’s not something I can 1 shot with white damage I don’t know what is

I just did it with this hunter.
- I had to get naked.
- I had to die and take rez sickness
- Fly back super fast
- Hit it exactly once! Turned away so my back was to it and then entered /stopattack
- Waited for it to cast heal on itself. This bumped it from just under 50% health to about 70% health
- Hit it exactly one more time and again turned away so I couldn’t attack it and did another /stopattack
- Then I could tame it.
EDIT: Bah! Only The green one has the heal ability and the other 2 don’t. This won’t work on all of them
EDIT2: The “whole body shrinka” toy described by @chillzor-agamaggan does work.
- You need a Horde toon to buy it (which I had)
- You still need to get naked but you don’t need rez sickness. Naked + no rez sickness did about 15-20% of its health per punch. With Rez sickness you only do about 1% of the target’s health per hit
- You absolutely need to wait on using it until you are right on top of the porcupine. Your move speed is massively reduced as well as your damage and Mounting will cancel the effect. And
- It lasts 3 minutes and the porcupine will backup and with your terribly slow move speed it makes the the damage process take a bit of time as a result.
Are you wearing clothes irl too? You have to be naked both in game and irl
