EQ2Wire’s Guide to Beastlord Warders

Jump to EQ2Wire’s Beastlord Guide >>

  • At level 1, Beastlords are given a pet based on their race (scroll down for the list).
  • At level 10, Beastlords gain the ability Tame Warder which opens up twelve different families of Warders of which seven are Offensive and five are Defensive.
  • At level 80, Beastlords who spend enough points in their Beastlord AA tree can get the end-of-line Tame Exotic Warder ability, thus opening up four Exotic families of Warder.

What Can’t You Tame?

So we thought we would compile a list of creatures which cannot currently be tamed just to save people the trouble. This page will be updated as we receive reports and updates from players.

What Can’t You Tame >>

Starting Warders by Race

Each race starts with a different warder. Starting warders are:

  • Arasai – bat
  • Barbarian – wolf (canine)
  • Dark Elf – bat
  • Dwarf – bear
  • Erudite – tiger (feline)
  • Fae – hawk (avian)
  • Freeblood – bat
  • Froglok – crocodile (aquatic)
  • Gnome – bear
  • Half-elves – wolf (canine)
  • Halfling – wolf (canine)
  • High Elf – hawk (avian)
  • Human – hawk (avian)
  • Iksar – chokodai (reptile)
  • Kerran – tiger (feline)
  • Ogre – bear
  • Ratonga – tiger (feline)
  • Sarnak – chokodai (reptile)
  • Troll – crocodile (aquatic)
  • Wood Elf – wolf (canine)

    ROFLMAO, just went through this again and this time noticed that under Canine “Hyena” is listed.

    From wikipedia:
    “Hyenas or Hyaenas (from Greek “ὕαινα” – hyaina[1]) are the animals of the family Hyaenidae (play /hɪˈɛnɨdɛ/) of suborder feliforms of the Carnivora.”

    that is they are cats not dogs. Those dumb turkeys at SOE have stuffed it up again!

    lots of other Taxonomic errors too.

    Hyenas are cats not dogs.
    Turtles are reptiles not amphibians
    Armadillos are not rodents
    Beavers are not rodents they are weasels
    Sheep are Ovine, not bovine (ungulates is a better category for both)
    Gorillas are Primates not simians (monkeys)
    Crocodiles are reptiles not crustaceans (crabs)
    Pigs are also ungulates so why are they separated out? Some sort of Jewish/Muslim thing?

    interesting, so ratongas get felines as their base warders instead of rats. I wonder how many would-be ratonga beastlords were initially eaten by their potential pets.

    Reply

  • Gwarin

    Also, badgers are weasels. That is, on Earth they are, but Norrathian taxonomy could be different. In a world with ample arcane and divine power, anything is possible.

    For example, the Norrathian Hyena could have been the result of a crazed gnome’s experiment involving a broken tinkered mechanomagical teleport device, a sabretooth cat, and half a dozen wolf puppies.

    The one that stuck out for me was hyenas. I knew they were cats not dogs.

    The others are kinda taking liberties to fit into 12 categories.

    Un, no….A Hyena is neither cat nor dog…they have their own family, the Hyaenidae. Their closest relatives are the mongoose, meerkats and the like.

    Between the cat and dog families, Hyena’s are closer to the cat.

    Cool. Turtles are reptiles btw, not amphibians. Not sure if that is your classification or theirs, but I think it should be fixed in the guide.

    Too bad no spiders or elephants. There are a lot of neat spiders we could get, and I have fond (if distant) memories of leveling up in CL with bull elephants chasing me around.

    It is the SoE categories. There are not a lot of amphibians and turtles are livig in an “amphibian” ecosystem so it makes kind of sense.
    Hyenas in Norrath are NOT called hyeanas but “carrion hounds” so they’re technically dogs too.

    One info is missing at first glance: are exotic defensives or offensives?

      Not true – I’ve tamed them with several of my beastlords. The trick is that it’s only tamable at certain levels. I tried taming with my 95 Heroic, and I couldn’t tame one. Then someone suggested mentoring to 70. I did that, and was able to tame one.

    You have draconine guardian listed as tamable and I did see someone with one but I’m trying to tame (yes I do have the ability to tame exotics) and I’m getting “certain enemies cannot be tamed.” and can’t tame it.

    I tamed one about two hours ago just above the Pit of the Awakened.

    I know you said you have the ability to tame exotics, but are you actually using the Tame Exotic Warder ability? Stare Down doesn’t work on Exotics either.

    When taming exotics be aware that you have to get them to 25% instead fo the regular 50%. I just tamed a draconine guardian about 5 min ago.

    I’ve been using the deer in Beta and I really enjoy some of the things the Bovid can bring to your group. It may not be the best DPS warder but it’s great defensively and has a little group heal as well.

    Who can turn up the chance of a the MeatBeast around level 50?

    Seems that you can also tame the Shimmering Guardians walking around outside the Poet’s Palace (cheetah, panther) as a dire pet.

    The glass deers from Shard of Love can also be made a dire pet.

    Actually the crocs in Darklight Wood should be tameable. I guess that comes from my miss interpreted post from the beta forms. I meant that you can tame them, so there is a low level option to gain a croc warder.

    Re: Cats and Dogs on Hyaena/Hyena. Real world taxonomy is barely scientific it relies on imperfect categorization of premodern scientists. It is also difficult to even classify species as they are constantly changing and so many different factors are present. Living in Kenya I know that people refer to hyenas as being in packs not prides (this cackle business is just someones sense of humor). It doesn’t matter what SOE chooses so long as the flavor is good. Hyenas ‘feel’ alot more like canines than felines whatever their evolutionary background.

    Exact location of the Duck is -588, 174, 1072 between the building and the rock located there. I helped a guy get the duck at around 10:50am est The duck was back up around 12:52pm est. So I will have to check back in two hours to see if it is a two hour spawn timer. Also the duck’s name is Mallard Phimore. He is a lvl 90 double up. Doesn’t hit to hard.

    The Warboar is functionally identical to boars/pigs. You think it should have a separate category all to itself? What if SOE adds other unique appearances later on? Every time I add a category, it changes the page numbering of the article.

    I hope they add a way to allow us to store Beastlord appearances. I’d hate to lose the housecat appearance if I get an inclination to have a leopard and then have to run Unrest again to get it back.

    Staintooth burrowers in Dire Hollow: Infernal Echoes (~level 35) are tameable. You need Investigating Dire Hollow (Teamwork) quest to enter and there are three versions of the instance, chosen randomly. The quest is repeatable once every two hours.

    In regards to the lions in SoL, maybe there is a bug that makes them untamable after a certain lvl. I was mentored to 50 and it worked just fine, so maybe try that.

    The mobs: A mangy cat (4 of them linked with a troll NPC) are tamable and are located in Pillars of Flame at 4.19, -93.08, -783.39.

    They are the same size/classification as the “An Aloof Cat” from Unrest. They do have different skins, however; patchy colored fur in three colors. Black and grey, white and cream, and red (reddish) and brown.

Also here’s a link to the picture of the cat skin for the ones in POF (just one color, there are two others not pictured here) so you don’t have to go trying to take an SS of them.

    Nice list, thanks. Just restarted EQ2 after a year out with a Beastlord.

    Oh and for the record:

    Hyenas are neither cats nor dogs. They belong to their own family, the Hyaenidae, which also includes the aardwolf. This family is more closely related to cats than to dogs.

    The resemblance of hyenas to dogs is due to convergent evolution.

    A few new warders up on test in the new waking lands zone.

    A corrupted wolf, doe, a new croc skin, and a panther. They have also added a new familiy for beastlords – Insects! Beastmaster sight dosen’t seem to be working on them to well, so I haven’t tested out what might be avalable for that. I would assume beetles, the bulky scarubs, centepeeds, mosquitos, dragonflys, and spiders would fall under that famimliy now.

    Just an FYI, there is a black colored drake in Najena’s Tower as well. Same skin as the red one, but a black color to it, you have to clear a few packs of red ones to get to the one with the bigger black one in it.

      Wait, so you can’t tame any insect. So what would you change the picture to? Picard Facepalm perhaps. 😉

    Taming insects seems to not be working, or it just never made it to live. It has been in the SS beta and the CoE beta now….

    Wish they would make up our damn minds all ready!

    Not sure if it’s already been updated by someone else but the Yeti in KP is tameable. It is what I’m currently using atm. If someone already updated you then ignore me like most 🙂

    Yes. If you could add SOE logo sign as the face. Would be great. Insect pets have never been on live. Only on beta and test for over a year now IIRC.

    Oh, and a lovely “bug” Beastmaster Sight dosent seem to show any of these as tameable, you will have to beat them to 25% and then try.

    So far scorpions, spiders, centepeeds, beetles, dragonflys can be tamed (at least most can be, I have come across several zones they cannot be tamed from)

    You cannot stare them down either… 8(

    As far as untameable goes, the vespids and leeches (which were ‘tameable’ to advance the quest) in Kunzar Jungle cannot be tamed. The dragon flies can be, but they lose the purple sparklie.

    23 new Insect Warder appearances added all courtesy of screenshots and notes provided by Ferrek!! And I can think of a number of other spider, dragonfly, and scorpions throughout Norrath that, if tameable, may even double this number.

    Note that four of the appearances are bugged (specifically the 3 ‘bone’ spiders in the Field of Bone which all turn into grey beetles when adopted). Hopefully these are fixed soon!

    FYI tryed to tame the black and yellow scorpions in timmerous deep / fens, both cannot be tamed, also tryed to tame the greyish crawlers in fens, also not tameable. and yea there are still a ton more out there, many of them copies, but having all of the zones where you can tame them would be nice 🙂

    Just remember Beastmaster Sight doesn’t seem to work on insects, so it is all trail and error taming to see what works, and what does not!

    There are a lot of insects in one zone with several different names to them, but all look exactly the same. If one zone is on the list, you can pretty much assume all insects with that apperance will be tamable 🙂

    You can add the flame wasp appearance to the insect category – I have tamed one on my BL.

    Oh, also, for the Reptiles; I can confirm that the light green plated chokidai in Chardok are tameable (the ones near the entrance) and look like the image you show.
    I can also confirm that the chokidai pup in Sebilis is tameable and gives a dark green appearance (plated) – darker than the one in the listing. It is the appearance I am currently using on my reptile warder.

    Just wanted to update for those who may not know. On Antonia Bayle, we’ve confirmed a spawn point for the new bovid critter, “A Berry-fed Bovid” in Windstalker Village in Antonica near the cows. This bovid appears to spawn at the beastlord’s level (the one who is catching him) and dies quite easily so be careful. It doesn’t appear that there is a level requirement as I caught him on my level 13 Beastlord and he was my level.

      I update the guide periodically. Also I wasn’t trying to document every mob in every zone, but just a few representatives so people can easily get any appearance they want. That’s good to know about kerra isle pouncers. I think they’re dire because they’re displacer beasts, right?

      I’ve got a bunch of photo submissions for GU66 and so that will probably be a good time to update this guide.

    Someone a bit higher level then me might want to recheck the bone spiders. As of earlier today a dust crawler @ Butcherblock Mountains did not turn into a beetle unless I somehow don’t know what the conditions are for it to happen.

    @ miragian

    The info on the guide may be out dated, at the time I tamed those spiders they were bugged. I neither work for Sony or know of their mystical bug fixing ways, so I would not know if or when they might of fixed them. Haven’t been playng my beastlord in a long time as well. Good to know they have fixed those spiders now though, usualy when one gets fixed they all do (I had posted bug reports on them several times, one might of finally been read).

    Now the real question is, anything new to tame in Siren’s Grotto? 😀
    I already submited screenshots on the Cobalt Scar finds (hint hint Feldon).

    The green armored chokidai from Chardok are in fact tameable, as are the ones in Sebilis. The pups and mongrels from Sebilis are actually a different color than the gnawers in Chardok. The Chardok chokodai are a light green, while the Sebilis ones are a very dark, almost black green on their backs, shading to lighter green. So, there’s a “new” chokidai color for you 🙂 I have screenshots.
