The Emerald Dream
Argyr initially appears as an untameable regular dreamstag and turning him into a tameable thornbuck requires a small adventure. Firstly, obtain a Thorn-Laden Heart, which has a low chance of dropping from stags in the Emerald Dream zone in the Dragon Isles (this heart will mention 'stag' in its description - there are also bear and saber versions, but they're for taming other thornbeasts). Once you have the heart, proceed to Drustvar in Kul Tiras and visit Athainne who is sometimes found in Ulfar's Den in the mountains far south-west of Fallhaven (approx. 46,45), and sometimes she wanders along the river below the den (around 52,40) with Athair. If she's not present in either location then you may have to wait - her schedule is unpredictable and it's also possible she disappears completely during daylight hours. Present the heart to her and she'll give you some Moontouched Thorns. Then speak to Ulfar, select his 'I have seen some animals...' dialog, then the dialog about Athainne, and he'll give you a Thornspeaker Ritual Knife. With the knife, proceed to a glade just south-west of Amirdrassil (44,64) in the Emerald Dream and look for a dreamstag named Argyr. He wanders back and forth a bit, so check the general area, but if you can't see him, wait a little while and he should respawn. His colour will determine which thornbuck you'll end up with: if he's initially a dark brown dreamstag he'll turn into a black thornbuck, golden brown becomes brown, and green & tan becomes green, so you may need to kill and reset him if he's not currently in the colour you need. After you kill him as a stag, use the ritual knife on his corpse and he'll resurrect as a thornbuck which you can tame!
Level scaling: Most NPCs will scale with the Hunter's level, within the constraints of their level range. Hunters can tame regular NPCs up to 2 levels higher than them, but can only tame elite NPCs of the hunter's level or below.
