Amani Hex Stick Zul'Aman Patch 4.1

The New Zul'Aman

I previously wrote about Farming Zul'Aman for Mojo and Sealed Scroll Cases, but since then Zul'Aman has changed.  Patch 4.1 brought us Call to Arms, but Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub are both now revamped level 85 5 man dungeons with heroic versions as well.  Zul'Aman has retained one of the items that I would farm for sometimes.  I am an avid mount, recipe, and pet collector in addition to being an auctioneer on the World of Warcraft auction house.  Even after patch 4.1 you can still get the companion pet, Mojo.  The Amani Hex Sticks still exist within the new Zul'Aman dungeon and work the same way as the did before as far as finding the scroll collectors and Mojo.  There is one big change though.

Hex Sticks Are Not BoP

The Amani Hex Stick used to bind-on-pickup, but since Patch 4.1 it can now be traded and sold on the auction house.  They used to disappear if you died or left the instance, so this is a nice change to the Hex Sticks.  You use the Amani Hex Sticks on the frogs around the central area and they will revert back to humanoid form.  When they are freed, they will drop a box on the ground that awards gold and / or charms. 

They can also turn into a vendor npc, that can sell you a Sealed Scroll Case, which can contain some rare recipes, but since Patch 4.1 they can also contain Mysterious Fortune Cards and Darkmoon Cards.  So keep your eyes out for other players using Amani Hex Sticks on frogs when in the new Zul'Aman dungeon.  The Sealed Scroll Case is a limited quantity item (1), so first person to buy it gets the chance at the rare pattern.  Any gold you loot from a chest is also split among party members, so it is best to just wait until the dungeon is over before zapping your frogs.

Sealed Scroll Case from Zul'Aman

^-----------------------------------Here Is a Forest Frog

Forest Frogs
Within the raid instance Zul'Aman, lies another option for making some gold.  The Forest Frogs that surround the central lake are actually npcs under the influence of a voodoo spell.  If you free them from the hex, they will return to their humanoid form and have various gifts they will leave for you.

How To Free Them
In order to release the frogs from their curse, you need to gather Amani Hex Sticks from the trash mobs inside the instance.  These Amani Hex Sticks will revert the frogs back to humanoid form.  You must use the Amani Hex Sticks before you die or leave the instance.  If you die, leave, or logout all of your Amani Hex Sticks will dissapear.  So use them as you get them to be safe.

Mojo
These Forest Frogs also have the ability to give you a rare vanity pet, Mojo.  If you get lucky, after you free a frog, he may place Mojo in your backpack.  Mojo is a very unique vanity pet that once you summon him out you can /kiss him and he will turn you into a frog and then start to whisper to you.  Unfortunately Mojo is BOP, but there are more money making options from these frogs.

Humanoid Gifts
Most of the converted frogs will drop chests for you to open.  They can contain gold (around 15g) or charms to use as buffs within the instance.  Sometimes you can get Mojo from them.  There are also 2 vendors that can spawn from these frogs.  Kyren sells reagants and Gunther sells food.  Both of these vendors have the chance to spawn a limited quantity Sealed Scroll Case.  These cases can contain a pretty high selling BOE recipe.  Check out the full content options.  Some big money makers, if you get the right scroll to drop.

So whether you are just in for the raid achievement, are farming for Mojo, or are just messing around in the instance solo, be sure to use up all of your Amani Hex Sticks in hopes to have a chance at this scroll lottery.
