Level 10 Blood Elf Hunter Questline Walkthrough

February 12, 2007 By Gitr 61 Comments

I couldn’t find any quick information on who it is that starts the questline to tame my first pet, so I’m making it. I remembered that for my dwarf hunter, the trainer was not in Ironforge, so I figured that the trainer for Blood elves would not be in Silvermoon. Wrong.

Upon reaching level 10, hunters gain the ability to tame their pets, after completing a questline. The questline starts with Oninath in Silvermoon (84,26). He sends you to Farstrider Retreat to speak with Lieutenant Dawnrunner (60,63).

The kind Lieutenant sends you off to tame a Crazed Dragonhawk. I just ran out the door to the North and tamed one right away. Nice and simple. Run back and complete the quest to pick up a quest to tame an Elder Springpaw. I spotted a level 8 to the West of the Retreat and tamed it. The final taming leg is for a Mistbat. This one took some running. Follow the Dead Scar all the way to the border on the river. Staying on the East side, there are some mistbats on the other shore. I had to settle for a level 10 and tamed it (barely) to finish the questline.

I ran back to the Retreat and went on back to Silvermoon to do some pet training. When I went back out into the world, I tamed a level 9 Elder Springpaw and we can hunt without stopping. He has more HP than me and does about 11dps already.

Update with screenshots:

Due to the vast number of comments on this post and people e-mailing saying that I’m wrong, I re-rolled a hunter again and here is exactly what happens when you hit 10 as a Blood Elf hunter.

At level 10, I ran to Silvermoon and went to the above-mentioned location of Oninath. Lo! There is a ! above his head.

He offers me the quest in addition to his normal hunter trainer abilities.

Here is what the quest says to do:

Here is the lovely Dawnrunner at the above-mentioned location:

    Are pets easily killed when you first tame them? I mean if they aren’t, I don’t want to be sacrificing myself 100 times and find out that everythings in vain.

    I will be the brave one and admit my stupidity and explain why it did not work for some people…we were looking in Silvermoon Ruins, not realizing there was a different Sivermoon City. Looking back it seems dumb, but you may want to add it in you guide to save the dumb blondes like me some frustration. Thanks!

    Thanks, Blah Blah.

    That would explain it. I will incorporate that note soon.

    For Dahunter:
    Probably the Elder Springpaw is the best to get at this level. (Unless you have a couple of 70’s that will run you through the Dranei starting area… a lvl 10 BE Hunter with a Ravager lol). The cat does the most damage and attacks the faster, will have more health than you at lvl 9, and comes standard with Claw Rank II. (At lvl 9 anyway.)

    When you first tame your pet, you need to feed it until it is happy, so that it will begin getting training points that you can use a little later to give special bonuses to your pet, like Stamnia, and other useful things. Your pet will not be easy to kill, just remember it is a symbiotic relationship, your pet is not a voidwalker, use it for added DPS, don’t forget that just because you have a pet doesn’t mean you can’t kite mobs anymore!

    Really? Look at the title of the post. Maybe you’ll figure out what a Belf is too.
