Taming the Beast

This quest marks the final trial in a dwarven hunter's basic training under Grif Wildheart in Kharanos. By using an enchanted rod to subdue and understand an aggressive Ice Claw Bear, the hunter demonstrates mastery over sheer brute strength. Completing this exercise unlocks the foundational abilities needed to tame, call, and dismiss a permanent wild companion.

Perhaps you'd like a creature that possesses little more than brute strength. The ice claw bear is an excellent companion for a fledgling hunter like yourself, and can be found east of Kharanos. Here is the taming rod; try this animal as a pet and see if ya like it!

When you return, I'll give ya the skills you will need to tame an animal of your choosing; this creature will face the challenges you face, and gain experience alongside you. I will also show you how to call it and dismiss it as ya like.
