WoW Forever Ghostfang Location and Taming Guide
Ghostfang is a new rare cat in WoW Forever: a level 10 cat with a white coat and a blue-violet back that no other tameable cat shares. It lives in the hills of eastern Dun Morogh, it respawns in about half an hour, and it is the easiest rare with a unique look that an Alliance Hunter can tame on the first day.
It is not a fast pet. Ghostfang swings at the normal 2.0, so Hunters who want speed take The Rake in Mulgore instead. Below you will find its four spawn points with a map, the route for both factions, the respawn, the tame step by step and an honest look at whether the skin is worth it.
Ghostfang keeps its white coat with a blue-violet back after the tame.

Where Ghostfang Spawns in Dun Morogh
Ghostfang has four spawn points in the hills of eastern Dun Morogh, between Ironforge and the road to Loch Modan. It does not patrol: it stands at one of the four until someone finds it.
- 74.5, 63.2: hidden next to a tree on the hillside above an empty, ravaged camp in the south. Players think it survives longest here.
- 79.5, 43.0: on the hill in the north, behind the larger trees.
- 80.8, 46.3: out in the open just south of the northern hill. Several Hunters tamed it here after the launch.
- 81.7, 55.5: on the little hill east of the lake.
The four Ghostfang spawn points in eastern Dun Morogh.
Check all four in a loop. One Hunter walked down the path to 81.3, 45.9 and tamed it there, while it was already up at 79.7, 43.2 for another player on the same server. Do not confuse it with Ghostfang Alpha, an ordinary wolf in Mount Hyjal with a similar name.
How to Get to Ghostfang as Alliance or Horde
Dwarf and Gnome Hunters can walk there from Kharanos in a few minutes. Other Alliance Hunters take the tram from Stormwind to Ironforge and leave through the main gate, then head east along the road toward Loch Modan.
Horde Hunters can tame it too, but getting there is the hard part. One Horde Hunter swam off a ship near the Dun Morogh coast, ran from the graveyard and found Ghostfang after about ten minutes, but died three times on the way: twice to guards and once to a player. Another said reaching Dun Morogh took longer than finding the cat. Stay off the roads and away from Kharanos.
Ghostfang Respawn Time
Players in the beta timed the respawn at about 30 minutes, and one Hunter found it at each spawn point within half an hour. There is no live data yet that says otherwise. In the first days after the launch, though, Dun Morogh is full of new characters who kill everything they see, so on a busy layer it can be dead long before you arrive.
What Level Do You Need to Tame Ghostfang
You need to be level 10. Ghostfang is level 10, Tame Beast becomes available at 10, and a Hunter cannot tame a beast above their own level. Going in at 11 or 12 makes the 20-second channel safer, but the pet always joins you at level 10.
How to Tame Ghostfang Step by Step
- Stable or abandon your current pet before you go. Use Abandon Pet, not Dismiss Pet.
- Make a macro and press it as you check each spawn point:
/target Ghostfang
- Tag it with one shot, for example Serpent Sting. New players attack every rare they see, even one you are taming.
- From maximum range, drop a Freezing Trap at your feet and slow it with Concussive Shot.
- Start Tame Beast right away and stay out of reach of other mobs.
- Feed it with Feed Pet as soon as the tame ends.
If you kill it by mistake, it drops Ghostfang's Steps, a pair of level 7 boots, about half the time. That is why so many players kill it.
Is Ghostfang Worth Taming
For the look, yes. Ghostfang is a white cat with a blue-violet back that you will not see on any other tameable cat, and it is close to the Alliance starting zones.
As a fighting pet it is an average cat. Its attack speed is 2.0, while most cats swing at 1.5 and The Rake at 1.2, and it does not come with a fast-attack ability. One beta tester saw a bonus to attack speed in the pet tab, but nobody has confirmed it since. Teach it Bite and Claw from other cats, and it does the job of any cat.
If speed matters more to you than the skin, tame The Rake in Mulgore. For a rare that looks unique and attacks faster, the spirit wolf Coldrasp swings at 1.5. All pets are compared in the WoW Forever Hunter Pets guide.
