Talk:Black Bear

Not pets
if black bears can not be tamed, why is this article in the pets category? --Thundergrace 18:11, 10 Sep 2005 (EST) They can be tamed in the Southern SHiverpeaks and in previous time it was possible to tame them.

Black Bears CAN be tamed in Pre-Searing. There's a screenshot of someone who did it on this website: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7053


 * That screenshot has been deleted and the general concensus of that thread (or at least as far as I read into it) was that it was faked. I seem to recall that Anet themselves said that you can no longer tame bears in pre-searing.  You could at one point, but they removed that.  --Rainith 14:21, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
 * A guildmate of mine claims to have tamed one recently in pre-searing; he brought it up when I was collaborating with Jenosavel on the pet guide, but I haven't yet had a chance to duplicate it. The method he suggested seems possible however:  His method was to have the bear engage another player, and have that player run out of range, trying to trigger charm animal when the bear was just leaving the skill's range.  Reportedly, the bear chases the other player just out of range if your timing is good (can take many tries) at which point you are out of range of the bear's charm breaker. The bear then spams charm breaker the whole time, which is quite amusing, to no avail.  I am trying to find a partner in pre-searing with whom I can test this --Epinephrine 08:31, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Black Bears South of Beacon Perch
It should be noted in that in Lornar's Pass, far south of Beacon's Perch, you can find one or two Black Bears, roaming around. Although taming one of the bears may be a simple matter, getting to the bears is harder, because of the high-level mobs in the area. --DaveBaggins 06:06, 31 January 2006.
 * That would be in the Southern Shiverpeaks as the article states. At least in my experience the Norther Shiverpeaks are the low level areas and the Southern Shiverpeaks are the high level areas.  --Rainith 11:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
