NEW! Project Lore - Soloing - Dorkins Does Dailies Episode 25 - The Wyrmrest Accord - Part 3

i been searching for ages still cant find :S

He's op a hill east of Themasar..

37,62

I was just wondering if this guy can be tamed...and what level u would have to be (>20 ?)

Yes sooty can be tamed. I did it with a level 20 hunter. Seeing as he's an elite, I recomend using a potion or two before hand just to be on the safe side. A defense potion would be a good idea, but isn't needed.

I am playing a 20 hunter on Ursin. Just got Ol' Sooty last night. His Armor (904) is actually less then my LAN bud's random pig (939) that he has had since lvl 11 (the pig and Ol' Sooty are both lvl 20 now). Stats are identical except for armor, and Ol' Sooty beats the pig by 0.1 dps.

Makes me kind of think that elite pets aren't worth it, unless of course they have an ability I need to learn.

he's a dark blue color. i got him at lvl 20 and i still have him. i use him for 2 reasons, i'm a bears fan... to the super bowl!!!!!!!! and 2, well you can feed him anything ftw!

:D

1) How could you NOT find Sooty ;). He is in the cave up the hill, easier to find than village Thelsamar imho...

2) Soloed him as a level 20 shadow specced priest... had to use 1 potion. Nice xp: 580 for the kill, 775 for bringing it to first person, 1500 for bringing it to the second...

Might be a temporary glitch, but i just cruised up on Ol' Sooty, and he seems to be a dud (no weapon/spell effect and no movement/attack).

bad guys can be bugged sometimes.

I have even dealt with an inviso guy in Ashenvale. With Hunter's mark, I can find anyone but this guy could shoot me (so I couldn't melee) and as far as my toon was concerned he was unfindable.

As far as Elite pets go:

Hunter forum is great for this discussion, but SOME elite pets have different stats than their category (cat, bear, scorpid, etc.)

I just tamed Broken Tooth, a favorite but difficult to find rare spawn, who is identical to all cats, except his attack speed is 1.0 his DPS is the same of course, but that is apparantly a nightmare for casters to deal with (my pally has Spiritual Focus, so it's not much of a problem.)

Some pets will be faster too, but I think that's high level AV wolves or some such creature. I leveled a regular cat to "The Rake"'s current level and they were the same, but his attack speed is faster too (1.2)

If you look on the map then its easy enough to find the cave. Is he inside it or outside? At any rate, I think I'll try to find a healer to heal me while I tame just incase ;)

Soloed him as level 18 hunter. Wasn't that tough, just have to kite him quite a bit. Didn't even need a potion.

Soloed as lvl 16 frost mage, easy peasy :P

My level 21 Dwarf hunter tried to tame him twice today, and each time the bar would finish properly, but he would keep attacking me... Odd?

this is a normal thing that happens when taming a pet worth having. just have to keep trying.

At level 20 you just have to use freezing trap and that's it, I tame this bear very easy with this hability, you don't need potions or any help!!!

For some reason he isn't showing up, as if he doesn't exist anymore, this happen to anyone else?

waited for a half an hour and no spawn yet

still around, don't worry. Got him earlier today with my mage.

saw him today.. he whacked my L15 warrior really fast. thinking about sending my hunter up there to try and tame him. Had her try repeatedly to tame the den mmother, only to fail time and again

For a Horde person, is it worth it to come up all the way thru Hillsbrad, Arathi, Wetlands, and run past the guards in Loch just to tame this guy? From the way that everyone is whooping his behind, I'm thinking that he's not so good of a pet, but I think he'd be better than an Ashenvale Bear. Can someone plz give me advice? <_> =O

i cant figure out where he is, and htf do you use co-ords?

He's a 37, 62 in a cave (seems to have a pretty long respawn timer though). You have to approach the mountain range from the south; there'll be a path up.

  Just for those that are looking for him/her, sometimes Ol' Sooty is down the hill and a bit south east, closer to the Stonesplinter encampment. I ran into him in the valley down there when I was about 15 or 16 and wasn't expecting anything. I ran but came back later and killed it.

For the record, I have established definitive proof that Ol' Sooty is indeed a she, despite the quest referring to her as a he. As evidence, I put forth that I tamed her with my hunter, and used her agains the undead sailors outside Menethil, who curse their opponents, making them undead.

When the curse is applied to Ol' Sooty, sure enough, she comes back as a female undead.

I'm glad to offer this proof to all of you. :)

For the record, elite pets stats do not have elite stats once they are tamed.
their stats revert to a normal creatures stats and your characters armor is factored in as well as your stamina (health)
elite pets aren't anything special but some of them just look cool.

this is the easiest elite I ever fought, I soloed him at lvl 18, with my HOLY specced priest (draenei), no potion used/other buff than my own, thing I couldn`t do with my demon warlock in his early lvl. I wonder if a shadow priest is really good at all for soloing... The bear has around 1,4k health, hits hard (around 45dmg on 30% dmg reduction). He respawns pretty fast, and he wanders between his cavern and the bears at the bottom of the place. Even though I said he was easy, you still need to use about everything you have.

beat him with a L16 Hunter and L16 Snow Tracking Wolf=Easy Kill
