The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
All of the quests where you have to summon Drakuru, can be done by summoning him at Zeb'Halak by killing Zimbo to get Zimbos mojo then summoning him THERE. You cannot complete it there, though, but you get the buff Envisioning Drakuru, which allows you to see him at the other altars for 5 minutes, so you can complete it at the right stage. So you can kill 1 non-elite "boss" with 100% drop, instead of farming the other mojos to summon him. Very handy! Specially at some of them where you have to kill quite a few.
