The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
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.
Progress
Have you tamed the ice claw bear yet?
Completion
Here you are, <name>. I will now give ya the power to tame a beast, as well as call it and dismiss it as you please.
Find yerself a good, loyal pet, and enjoy the hunt!

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Dun Morogh), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
