In the night elf starting zone, when completing Taming the Beast pt. I I did not dismiss my pet immediately (which was bugged and wouldn't follow me anyway). I had forgotten about this when going to do Taming the Beast pt. II, and attempted to dismiss my lost pet that was nowhere near me, and the pet would not dismiss. I relogged and it shows the pet as gone. But whenever clicking Nightaber Stalkerss and attempting to use the taming rod, I continually receive the message "Invalid Target". I have relogged multiple times and taken a 10 hour break from attempting and the same problem persists. I have also abandoned the quest and restarted it multiple times. Super disappointed in this, as I do not want to play another 4 hours of hunter to get back to level 10.
