Just made a pandaren hunter to tame cloud serpents and am unable to tame Zhao Ren, is this common?
probably because you need exalted with the cloudserpent faction and a lvl 50 to buy the tome that enables taming of cloud serpents.
Pandaren hunters should be able to do this without the tome.
ah apologies then i dont play pandas. what if anything happens when you try to tame one? do you get an error message of some sort?
I haven’t tried this, but Petopia reports that Zhao Ren is a Boss-level tameable, which means that it’s technically tameable but always your level +3 (with scaling) so that it’s actually not tameable because of the level difference.
I really haven’t tried any boss tames in a very long time so I don’t know how it works with the brave new post-squish everything-scales-all-the-time world. Maybe that’s not it.
yeah i just looked on wowhead and petopia, im not seeing anything that would suggest isnt tameable, it shows on both sites as a tameable mob, but how one can do it at a low lvl especially in a starting zone im not sure.
generally elite tagged mobs you need to be at same level of or higher, how a newbie panda does it in their starting zone im not sure.
And in spite of all that theory, I just successfully tamed Zhao-Ren on a brand new Pandaren hunter (level 12 at the time) at the beginning of the quest that summons him as an enemy, Battle for the Skies.
I walked into the middle of the quest area, he spawned, I started taming, I finished taming, I got him as a pet. (I dropped and retook the quest to spawn him again, this time to kill him.)
