Aussie your coordinates doesnt really add up. 60,24 is up the mountain slope towards the keep. Nothing is spawning there.

I have camped Grunter now for 4 days and he has yet to show up.

Feels rather depressing.

Commento di 12437

It would seem the only ability he has is a knockback that hits you for about 100 (in plate) and knocks you back (obviously). Could make it tricky for casters to kill or for someone trying to tame it.

Can i tame this beast ???

Commento di 33173

I'm Horde on a PvP server, so it's a bit dicey for me to solo camp this guy so near an Ally stronghold & fp. I keep Track Humanoids on the whole time so I can see Ally coming, and use a macro, '/target Grunter', to search for him so I can keep my attention on staying out of the path of Ally.

Commento di 33173

Also, this boar looks like the same skin as the lvl 6 Dire Mottled Boars in Durotar. Is it, or is his skin unique somehow?

Commento di 33173

Well, tried solo taming him for about 20mins, then gave up and killed the bastard. Problem was that damn charge/knock back that breaks your taming. Being BM at 52 with no trap-enhancing SV talents or gear, not even chain trapping him worked. Tame Beast takes 20s, and unbuffed Freeze Trap freezes up to 15s, up to 30s chaining them, but the problem was he'd hit me with knock back in the instant he was free b/t traps. And if I ran back a few feet after trapping him and laying the second trap right in front of him, then that took up too much time and the second trap would break a few secs b/f tame ended, and he would charge and knock back again. What a frustrating pita. But at least I got a close look at him, and see he appears no diff than the lvl 6 Dire Mottled Boars in Durotar, so I think I'll just go back and tame an RFK Rotting Angam'ar boar and level him up later.

same skin as a lot of low lvl boars.

Commento di JackOnTheMap

Given that the spawn timer is so long and the area is loaded with people killing beasts there for quests, it's better to give up and just resign yourself to leveling up a low-level boar of the same skin.

I've only ever seen Grunter once and he was killed 5 seconds later by a quester.

With that and the knockback, give up and level.

I didn't really find the above spawn times useful, but maybe someone else will: I picked him up this morning at 4:50 PST, October 16th.

just tamed this very elusive boar. a good idea is to log on every half hour, or if you have the time, every 15 min, the spots on the map are correct. i managed to get a screeny of the taming, ill submit it see if it gets through

Commento di 149563

Got super-lucky and ran across him last night after weeks of just casually checking the area below Nethergarde Keep. Easy tame for me but of course it should be at Level 62. Just put an ice trap down, hit him with Concussive Shot to slow his approach and start the tame as soon as he's in range. He'll be tamed before the ice trap releases and you'll be the owner of a sweet little piggy!

<rant>
Now if I could only name him Grunter! Blizzard, why o why do rare-spawn pets lose their NPC name upon being tamed? And why aren't I allowed to use "Grunter" as his name if I so choose? Very disappointing to finally tame him only to have him appear no different to other players than if I'd tamed some level 1 Crag Boar in the dwarf noob zone and leveled him all the way to 50! Sure he comes with Dash but I can train any piggy with Dash if I wanted. The name is what makes him unique. Currently his name is "Boar" and it will stay that way while I petition GMs to let me use his real name. I've read in a few forums that some will oblige.It takes lots of dedication to tame rares, that dedication should be rewarded. Just one pet snob's opinion.

Commento di Thottbot

Grunter was up in the area with the ashmane boars; a black boar, much bigger than the rest. When I tamed him he had Charge (rank 5) which has the same 1 sec immobilize but also adds 400 Attack Power to your next attack.

Commento di Thottbot

I'm having real trouble finding grunter! does anyone know the spawn times or anything like that?

im ripping my hair out here!

Commento di Thottbot

To quote a reliable source:

Grunter is a VERY RARE mob.
He will spawn every 32-48 hours.

Sucks for those trying to tame him... like me...

Commento di Thottbot

After 4 days of camping on the hill below Nethergarde he spawned around 3:30 pm, but his name was not Grunter, it was Sulahman. Maybe it's because i'm using the german client. He has Dash (rank 3) and Charge (rank 5), and he looks really great. Yehaaaaaa!
Good hunting!

Caught this awsome Pig just a few days ago stayd up all night and around 3 in the morning walla found him just sitting to the very east of the map in the boar area right under the castle! Best pet, tanks gets good aggro, great HP, Charge is one of the best PvP moves (stuns for 1s and dose Heavy dmg on your next attack making mages go O.o X.x). Not too hard to tame but he dose launch you screwing the taming proces. Just lay ice trap when he comes near shoot scatter shot and use tame beast (make sure your on or behind the ice trap or it wont work). ^-^ Happy hunting (my count for looking for him was 4 days straight)

Commento di Thottbot

just got him today at 4:25am Tamed at the cord's 55,31 took me about 30hours of camping basiclly gave up had a 5 hour break came back and he was there waiting 4 me.. Also his attack does not give u a 400attack power increase , it only gives him the increase...has a 25 second cooldown aswell.. time 2 get him 2 lvl 60 and do some pvpin :D

good luck my fellow hunters...

4 the above he has a 2.0 attack speed

for the horde!

Commento di Thottbot

After several days of on-and-off camping, finally found him at 62,28 (just south of Nethergarde Keep). Tamed him around 12:10 am on Steamwheedle Cartel.

Also saw Spiteflayer twice while hunting Grunter. Spiteflayer spawned a bit farther south on the other side of Serpent's Coil.

Took several tries to tame him, as he hits with a big knockback the minute he's out of the ice trap.

Commento di Thottbot

On Bloodhoof, at 09.00 in the morning, server time.
I camped the site for days on end about 6 months ago, but never even saw him, spoke to a friend about him today and thought I'd pop over to have another look and lo and behold, there he was!
Tamed him on the spot, I just trapped him and tamed while he was stuck, when trap let go, he was 0.1 sec from fully tamed and started to charge but before he got to me - and I was pretty close to him - he was tamed.

Commento di Thottbot

Found him in blasted lands while farming boars, looks like he was hanging out among them. Didnt even notice that he wasnt a regular boar until he hit me for 499 and sent me flying through the air, i killed him shortly after I landed. Shame I wasn't a hunter or would have tamed the sob.

Commento di Thottbot

I am having the worst time with Grunter. I've been semi-camping him for three weeks now, but with the 36+ hour spawn timer and Alliance milling around regularly, I haven't even seen his corpse since I started. If you're Alliance, this'll probably be an easier tame for you because you can at least talk to most of the people grinding in the zone and ask them to leave the pig alone.

He is definitely the hardest to find of the three rares in that area because he spawns close to the road, right in the middle of a heavily-frequented grinding area. I've seen Ravage once and Spiteflayer twice since I started camping - both are "sheltered" by a small rise which puts a lot of ground and other mobs between them and passing players.

So, just making this post to point out to prospective tamers that this is an extremely difficult tame, especially for Horde. Good luck, and if anyone can provide any information about Grunter's spawning patterns, it'd be much appreciated.

Commento di Thottbot

I consider myself very lucky, after much research i have realized that grunter is the absolute best all around pet any hunter can have...with dash, charge, bite and gore.....talk about tanking, dps, stunning, what more could you want...and the jet black doesn't get any more pimpin' I found him just south of nethergard keep, at 0512 pst...i am in doomhammer, Tauren Hunter lvl 52, and boy oh boy, the hardest pet to tame I have ever attempted...he sent my flying 100 feet in the air four times, nearly killed me three times, i feigned death, even had a night elf hunter kill add buzzards and ashmanes to help me....how rare is cross cooperation like that....hats off to that masked stranger...at the end he clapped, saluted me and rode off....one of my WOW highlights for sure...good luck to all hunters, if I see any of you with this hot black boar, I will praise and respect you...

Commento di Thottbot

I found him just south of nethergard keep at 3:00am 40 hrs after reboot. The first time I saw him 3 lower level hunters were killing him. I had My King B out at the time and didn't want to abandon him. After reading about him here it became a mission.
I leveled twice grinding if you can imagine the numbers killed. After a while I sat on the hill and watched the area using eye of the beast. The best part was chasing new low level players who thought the boar I had tamed while waiting was PVP.
just as I was about to go bed there he was. I tried the advice above and was banged 100 feet with 2% left to tame I landed in a fresh mob and was shortly killed.
I ran back to see a warlock zapping my boar. I offered him 5g to stop. he said OK but didn't stop. lucky for me I saw the dragon at the last sec and ran as he was killed. set an Ice trap shot Grunter stunned him and started training was hit twice at the end and he was trained. I doubt i would have bothered or gotten him without the posts here. he is worth the wait thx

Commento di Thottbot

Okay, could someone clarify the 32-48 hour respawn timer?

Maybe I'm imagining things, but I've seen him twice now (killed right before me both times). Once, ~32 hours after weekly maintenance, and about 48 hours after next weeks maintenance.
So, is his timer 32h OR 48h, and not 32 TO 48h ? Maybe it's just chance, but to me, it seems like he spawns either exactly 32 hours or exactly 48 hours after his last kill/server restart.
Which would make it a whole lot easier to camp him, if it's true.

Commento di Thottbot

Okay, I am on the Aegwynn Server and after all the posts have decided at 55 to go for it. The Server is being reset right now and will be done by 2pm EST. Based on what i have read that means that if I log on and camp the area 40 hours from 2pm or 6am 2 days from now he should be there.... We'll see.

Truth is that i love the boar so why not go for the BEST boar available? I love that you all have provided so much information regarding the when and how.. i will let you all know if i have any luck. BTW, one thing that i have noted on our server is that Horde and Alliance work pretty well together post 50.. after some real ganking pre 50..anyway, i just hope that i can manage to tame him without horde or alliance interruption.

Commento di Thottbot

He's just a plain black boar like the ones in Durotar. The best place to see what all the pets look like is petopia.brashendeavors.net. Great hunter resource.

Commento di Thottbot

just got grunter today i was just about to watch the home run durby and i decided to get onmy hunter and run over to blasted lands to go and c if he was there found him surrunded by a bunch of bores killed 1 and then layed down ice traped tamed and it was easy not 1 point of damage looking to lvl him he looks real cool and the abilitys are nice charge 5 dash 3

70 hunter emar

Commento di Thottbot

He is VERY rare and i will tel you why, The area he spawns is usually host to around 2 or 3 players at a time killing boars, vultures and basilisks for one of the very first quests you get in the blasted lands. So be prepared to get very lucky or keep your eyes shap for a spawn before someone kills him for quest.

Commento di Thottbot

I just tamed Grunter tonight. I went the rather odd route of paying someone else to camp him for me, because I'm 70 and I have more money than patience :P. We camped him for about two weeks before he finally spawned. I had to freeze trap to tame him because he kept knocking me back and interrupting the tame. Nice-looking pig, and as I hear, one of the best tanking pets in the game :P. I'm so happy :D. Now to put 20 levels on him.

Note: Didn't kill any other rarespawns before he spawned, just so you know.

Commento di Thottbot

I have a great idea, lets make one of the most rare spawns and desireable hunter pets in the game come up where there is almost always 3-4 alliance questing 24x7 and name him Grunter. After checking periodically for days now I still haven't seen him.

Commento di Thottbot

I went to get Grunter at exactly 40 hours post server restart time and I couldn't find him. :( However I did find spiteflayer, ravage, and clack the reaver all within the same little area. I tamed ravage and the other two gave me green drops. I am going out of my mind waiting for Grunter. He's ridiculously elusive.

Commento di Thottbot

Once tamed, Grunter is a Regular Black-Colored boar like you would find in Durotar or in Elwynn Forest. The difference is that he is the ONLY black colored boar over the level of 10-11ish. Grunters stats once tamed are not superior to any other level 50 boar. The popularity and demand is simply because he is attractive. Being a black boar makes him more appealing to many, and he is the 2nd highest in level, only to the lvl 60 Plagued Swine of Eastern P.Lands. (which appear to be undead, even though they are beasts)

How I found him:
Grunter was THE most elusive beast I have ever tried to tame. With the high traffic of that area, and the questers seeking boars to kill doesn't add to making it any easier. Upon research of the forums, I've found a common number of a 32-40+ hour spawn timer. Some may argue this, but it is the only thing that worked for me. I have been casually "Camping" him since lvl 50, logging in and out in that area, and checking it out quite frequently...with no luck.

I waited till the Tuesday restart, and began camping 36 hours after. This was approx 1am server time, so at least it was less crowded. I did not log out, and camped him for 4 hours...making it 40 hours. I was getting frustrated and logged out, and checked back every 15 minutes or so.

I logged back in at 6:20am, and there he was! He stuck out like a sore thumb! So you don't have to worry about missing him. *Keeping in mind that anyone else in the area will see him also. I found him underneath of Nethergarde keep, NOT near the road. He was patrolling a small area, much like the 2 boars that are usually there. The Coords were approx 62, 26.

During my camping, I rode around the entire area from the Road, to the eastern part, near the Shadowsworn Cultist's, spamming my " /target Grunter" macro. Like i said before, when I found him, he stuck out like a sore thumb...so this wasn't even necessary.

I didn't take a screenshot of the actual taming, since i was so excited/worried that someone would spoil it. He DOES have a nasty knockback ability, so be ready to use traps.

I hope I've provided you with some pretty decent information. Good Luck Hunters!

Commento di Thottbot

Got him! thx everyone, and to all future Grunter tamers, he is right where everyone else says he is- in front of the castle. 2days campin, not bad

Commento di Thottbot

I just got him today (70 hunter) i was on my way to the portal cause my hearth stone was on cooldown. saw him and ran back to stonard to stable my 70 wolf(snarler fron feralas)when i was 50 i spent weeks looking for him of and on found his corpse once but never saw him since.

Commento di Thottbot

After camping Grunter on and off for 80+hrs on Emerald dream server I gave up. During that time I saw 2 elite spawns, Spiteflayer and Ravage. This morning Feb.11th, I decided to just check the area since I was nearby. I tamed clack the reaver around 11am and logged. At 4pm server time that same day I logged again to check and see if the ever elusive Grunter happened to be there. The whole time I was camping him I had been checking 3 spots where people had claimed he spawns. Grunter was wandering around right by the fork in the road. I had started to think he was a myth! Concussive shot, ice trap and tame and he was mine!
He appears so close to heavy alliance grinding area's so be prepared to be ganked, but he is sooooo WORTH it! :D Good luck for all you hunter's trying to tame this beautiful boar.

Commento di Thottbot

Weeeee just got him...

damn he is hard to tame..
but he looks awsome..

can i untrain dash and train him charge insted?

Commento di Thottbot

He's not got a unique skin so is there any real advantage to taming him?

Commento di Thottbot

If a black boar is what you are after and you are level 70 already, just get the lvl 10 one from Durotar.

I got mine yesterday and took it at lvl 10 to Arcatraz. It died bunches-- I never knew there were so many AOE effects in there, but it was lvl 27 when we were done.

Since I'm in AH blues mostly, I respecced a funky 7/45/9 so I could kill lvl 62-66s by just burning them down before they touch me; no pet action, boar on passive.

I then grinded on the Skettis in Hellfire and then the Voidspawns in Nagrand (which I found are easier) for about 4 hours; my boar hit lvl 50 and 6 loyalty.

I'm guessing it will take about another 4 hours to get it to 60.

60-70 is the real grind, though; I know because I grinded the whole thing with a 60 bear.

60-70 is over 1 million XP and takes probably a day /played if you decide to grind it.

Instancing, Kara, and 25 mans can level it up super fast, though-- several levels a run-- depending on the total number of mobs.

Oh, and once you get to 60, you can fire up your pet and just grind like normal on talbuks and clefthoofs, should you so choose.

Commento di Thottbot

I finally got Grunter last night. I found the best way to find him is to wait for Tuesday when servers restart ( usually 5am pst to 11am pst) then count out 36 hours. For example... for me my server time is 3 hours behind my time. So when servers come back up at 11am PST for me it is 2pm EST so I counted out 36 hours from that time. That brings the log in time to start watching for him at 2am Thursday morning. He is found just south of Nethergarde Keep. Easy tame if you clear the area. Watch his pathing for a moment or so, get to an area just within your firing range and lay a frost trap, then fire off a concussion shot and hit your tame key. If you take the time to set it up right, its an easy tame. I am on Shu'Halo server by the way and no you can not rename the boar Grunter, Grunt, Gruntr......So I named him RareAsHeck

Commento di Thottbot

After 2 days of camping him he finally popped and in my excitement I accidently killed him. lol (autoshot was on or something so it started hitting him when tame broke)

Now for a few more days of camping...

Commento di Thottbot

Its day three of my search for him and still no luck but while waiting for him i tamed spiteflayer and crek the ravager both within 30 mins but i will continue to wait till grunter shows.

I got him on Muradin yesterday.

I was trying from Friday night and got him Sunday night left of the circle on the map. I had a problem with Teremus the Devourer cruising the area on Sunday until 10 level 60s took him down - thanks guys :)

Grunter is a tough tame. He kept launching me backwards about 15 yards and breaking the tame. Once he came out of the freeze trap with 1 second on the timer and still launched me. When I did get him an Ashmane boar was attacking me while I had him in the freeze trap. Thankfully he tamed as the freeze trap expired and attacke the Ashmane for me. I had almost zero health so backed up and opened fire with my bow while Grunter kept him busy :)

I love Grunter and he will be a keeper for sure.

I have been camping this boar for about a week and a half, different times of day, night, you name it I tried it.

This morning at 7:30am server time I logged in to just check to see if he was there and sure enough I found him on my scanner walking around Serpents Coil. He was a pain in the ass to tame though. Good luck hunting.

Commento di Allakhazam

I tamed him before but i had to give him up when i was getting the rank 8 of Bite (LBRS worgs).

Im camping for him now.. the effective hourcount is over 30 hours now. Now that Gore is out he is more or less the only alternative as the EPL boars look hideous and the lvl50 boars in blasted lands looks to plain to me..

As most hunters, that have played for a while, I'm a sucker for rarespawns.

Good to see he still actually spawns, atleast in december.. God knows I've had my doubts ;)

Tamed on Proudmoore 29 Jul 07. Server time was 05:26 hrs. Tether point was approx 61,28. He came with Dash 3 and Charge 5.
As others have noted he has a knockback effect which will break your taming effect. If you start your tame from max range with a freezing trap at your feet you will be able to negate the knockback.

Grunters SPAWNTIME is confirmed to be EXACTLY 40 HOURS!

I was lucky enough to log on to WoW last wednesday, about ten minutes before they did that week's rolling restart. I checked the area where Grunter is supposed to be and found nothing. Ten minutes later the realm was restarted at exactly 5:45am.

After having read a lot of inputs about Grunter both here and on Thott, I got the general idea of him having a spawntime of somewhere between 32 and 40 hours. Just to make sure, I logged on directly after the restart to see if Grunter was back to begin with, but no black one around.

Come thursday afternoon, I began by checking the 32 hour marker at 1:45pm. So I logged on at 1:30pm and stayed on for 30 mins. I then proceeded with the 30 min. check every other hour (since I figured they wouldn't put an uneven number for the respawn timer when going longer than 24h).

At 10:00pm same thursday I still hadn't found him - that was purely because of having read a few posts stating (or rather, lying about) Grunter spawning right next to the road. I listened more to that than what's shown on the map above so I concentrated my search in the wrong location - and with two more quest-farmers there, I missed my chance.

A few mins. later I whispered them both to keep a lookout for Grunter and give me a /w for a little cash-reward, upon where one of them told me that she had killed him about 20 mins. ago - thus confirming his spawn at 9:45pm - exactly 40 hours since the restart.

The spawn-points shown on the map above are correct - Grunter does NOT spawn near the road!

How to TAME him;

As you might already know, Grunter has a nasty throw-back attack which makes you fly for a few feet and will most likely break your taming-attempt. The annoying part here is that the taming-act takes 20 secs. and NON-SPECCED freezing-trap at lvl 50 only holds him for 15 secs. Thus you have to compensate for those five extra seconds somehow.

One rather simple way to do that is to back away from Grunter almost all the way to the limit of your attack-range. Put down a freezing-trap and back away the few remaining feet of your range. (You do NOT want Grunter to be able to reach and attack you before being immobilized by your trap!) Then you're good to go. Aggro grunter with one well-aimed Concussive Shot after which you immediately begin the taming-process. The concussive + the range from where he's aggroed to the location of your trap will, with a little luck, be enough to earn you those five extra seconds. As long as you land that taming - he'll be yours without trouble.

Chain-trapping also works, but you may not have enough time to just stand there and wait for 30 secs whilst the trap-placement cooldown wears off - not if there are other questers nearby.

Good Luck!

I love my cat and my gorilla is not to be trifled with, but when it comes to pure abuse, I'm rollin' with the LAPD. IMHO, he's a MM spec'd hunter's dream come true. Found him at Weirdhunter's (almost) exact co-ords. Biggest pain in the a** hunt I've ever endured, for too many reasons to list; worth every bit of it. GL with this one.

Still looking for him, someday i will find him

Tamed him this morning at 8:50am on Emeral Dreams. I noticed that if you have both dash and charge on at the same time he will not stun. I had to turn dash off in order for him to charge in and stun the person. Has anyone else noticed this.

Hit 50 this morning on Feathermoon and resolved to camp Grunter until I could tame him. After about 6 hours, he popped. Before I could clear a path, a Paladin jumped him. I begged him to stop, even feared the pig so he could back off, but nooooo the selfish moron kept on fighting. All I have is a screenshot of a dead black pig.

Finally, after 3 Days out in the Blasted Lands, i found an tamed Grunter, it was 23.45h at the 05-02-06.
He really looks great and is worth every Minute i spent out there, killing hundreds of other mobs, hoping he will spawn inspite of one of them.

Good Luck to all those Hunters out there:)

I recently tamed him at Scarshield Legion:
He came with:
Charge Rank 5
Dash Rank 3
And it seemed like he has 10 resistances in all schools except the Arcane.

I love the pet :)

ok,, have been camping in blasted lands off and on for 2 weeks.

I have seen Ravage twice, Clack the Reaver twice, Spiteflayer twice.. and not one occurrence of Grunter.

One thing to note: timer between Ravage --> Clack ---> Spiteflayer is about 4 hours. Min was 2-1/2 hrs and max was 5-1/2 hrs.

Commento di Arxroth

Finally got this as pet of mine.

However this was on quiet server so it most likely helped greatly with him being there free to tame.

Kinda shame that it was on my alt hunter and not main and thinking ways how to play around with pets (can other hunter tame your pet in duel?)

Grunter
