First of all THIS IS NOT MINE All credit Goes to Acherontia
who find it i just post it here since i can`t find it anyplace here

Taken from WoW Petopia Community • View topic - How To: Tame Pets With Appearance Buffs

* Tameable mobs whose buffs dissipate on death will be for show only, as the buff will clear on pet death (and player death).

* When used on pets that have a buff that persists after death (The Lone Hunter, Oil-Stained Wolf etc), the buff WILL REMAIN after player death, so the pets are quite useable. This is an alternative way to quickly tame pets with appearance buffs without the hassle of timers.

Step 1: Find a pet with a buff you like.
Step 2: Trigger the pet's appearance change, if necessary.
Step 3: Tame Beast, and spam the following macro as the tame completes: /script PetAbandon()
Step 4: If it went well, the pet will be gone, but you will "already have an active summon" when you attempt to retame another. Relog, and your new shiny pet will be there.
Step 5: NEVER let it die >.> Also, do NOT die, yourself, while the pet is out. I have confirmed that this will also wipe the pet's buffs. (This step applies only to mobs who lose their appearance upon death while in the wild)

The mechanics of this: It makes the pet despawn as it becomes a pet, avoiding the "wiping the buffs" event. Be aware that pets tamed in this fashion take a relog to show, and will be set to Aggressive by default; you will also need to manually pull their abilities onto the Pet Bar from the Spellbook. Also keep in mind that this pet will (in the manner of Garwal, the Oil-Stained Wolf etc) appear as a normal tamed version of that mob (white wolf if ghost wolf, etc) on the log-in and pet screens.

See this page for more Ghost Wolf pics and Ghost Wolf-specific info.

Try it on these, and let me know if it works!

*(For the pets marked in red, please leave them alone. Because their buffs are more than cosmetic, the potential for them being seen (or used) as an exploit is also potentially harmful for the rest of us, who simply want our lovely sparkles. If you abuse these exploitable pets, you are cheating, and if you get this taming method nerfed, you're damaging the community as a whole.)*

*** To get the Armored Boars to catch fire, you'll need someone to throw the torch from the quest "Feed of Evil" (chain leading from "The First Step," doable by Horde characters of any race) to set the boar on fire a few seconds before the tame is complete.


The Oily Wolf/Hawk, Ghost Carrion Bird, Flaming Boar and Lone Hunter were known, but this taming method is far easier. See each of these links for the posts by the original discoverers with info & pics!

Be aware that any buff with a TIMER is not keepable on taming by any known method! Also be aware that ALL of these buffs will be wiped (regardless of pet death affecting the buff in question) by entering Arena.

Seems judging by this text:

This could probably be used for other things too :P

Solid, I'd -rep you if I could simply because you didn't accept that you made a mistake and reposted a topic. Instead you try to pass it off as something new, even if just a little.

The original topic with keeping appearance buffs has two different links to petopia that amount to all of the information available here.
Please use search next time.

Man that guy is ment to be like that .. you don`t need the macro to get him look like that..
anyway updated first post for links to the pets

[markons]

Can someone please tell me what i need to do.....

Im trying for the past 40min to get Ghost Wolf but can't.

1. auto attack to get him change his look ( from normal to ghost )
2. start using tame
3. when the tame is done ( or just before its done ) i start clicking /script PetAbandon() macro
4. logout
5. login

but i never get the pet

[surpriseurdead]

Make sure your timing is right, click your macro right after taming has finished.

If you get a normal looking wolf, you've been too slow...
