The drops suck because it's killed for a quest that gives a trinket that you'll be using for the rest of the game.

I just soloed this quest from beginning to end as a 60 Rogue. Pretty easy, but Gahz'rilla was a bit of a challenge. Stealthed to the Altar in Hinterlands and killed the two elites for the mallet, stealted to the altar in Jintha'Alor and got the mallet charged, then vanished. Gahz'rilla was a bit more difficult though. Since he casts when you get out of his range, I just beat him in the face until I was at low health, then backed off and bandaged up (keeping him targeted, or else he'll heal) then went back in for the finish.

Easy =)

  Easy to kill.

the reason the drops suck so much is that the quest rewards are bomb. (Quest given by the dude in thousand needles)

7100xp(i was 46)

and trinket - Carrot on a stick (3% Mount speed increase)

A silly 3% faster riding reward is hardly a 'bomb' item. Being able to move a tad bit faster may save you once or twice, or allow you to get to flags a bit faster or whatever your style may be, but it takes up a trinket slot.

Trinkets cannot be swapped in combat, so in order to move a bit faster you are sacrificing something like a counterattack lodestone, blackhand's breath, eye of the beast or other useful-if-you-need-to-fight item.

I will certainly admit that being able to move a bit faster can be fun and useful at times, especially in PvP, but that does not make this quest reward 'da bomb'.

Useful, most certainly.

Worth getting if you are already planning on going thru Zul Farrak, but not if you are an engineer and already have a dozen other trinkets taking up space IMO. Certainly not the be all and end all that calling it a 'bomb' would imply.

I am almost inclined to use the older implication of the reward being a bomb - that is, something that blows up in your face and/or does not go as planned. Just my opinion of course.

As well, am I the only one that thinks it is very unbalanced of Blizzard for folks to need to quest against an entire city of level 48-52 elites in the Hinterlands in order to make the frikkin hammer to summon one level 46 elite in Tanaris????? For a dungeon that is mid-high 40's....that is a bugger of a hill to climb (literally - you climb 2 ziggurats in the hinterlands to get the mallet)...almost makes the actual run thru Zul Farrak anti-climactic

I know thousands have done it....but come on...that is just dumb.

  3% is only a teaser. With the carrot, glove enchant, and spurs, you can recieve a total of 15% increased mount speed. Used with some very easy macros, you can even have all the item switch in and out of slots at you mount/dismount. So the only slot it wastes in an inventory slot. And I would hope you have plenty of those.

  This is a "bomb" thing to have coupled with the gloves and spurs. No one can catch you(unless they have them all as well but many people dont bother). You'll be suprised at how quickly you go if you have all of these three in your collection. I know many people who passed up on the carrot and went only for gloves and spurs and regretted it, going back at 60 to get them because the change is obvious. People say the carrot on a stick doesnt even have a speed increase but race a person on a mount with out it. You do pass them up.
  
  This is worth having. Wether you believe so or not.

    the 'usefulness' of an item is affected by how often you use it, as well as how much it does for you.
    
    Having a macro to equip spurs, gloves and carrot gives a noticeable boost to riding speed - and riding is something you do for many, many (too many) hours in WoW.
    
    Worth it just for the ability to more reliably outrun trash mobs before they dismount you forcing you to fight them before remounting and continuing on.
    
    You wear these things when all you want to do is get from A to B ASAP - minimising the time you spend cursing Blizzard for the 1 billionth Fed-ex quest.
    
    Anything that speeds that up is worth a lot just because you use it so often.

      My only problem with it is I'm already carrying around 5 trinkets total. I'm a 60 lock that doesn't even have my epic mount yet, but I don't find myself so completely inconvienenced that I would need to carry around yet another trinket.
      
      I'm doing the quest as I help a lower level friend just for fun. I'll probably hold onto the trinket for a couple weeks just to play with it, but imagine I'll ditch it fairly soon. Between all my foods, mana waters, soul shards, quest items, leathers (skinner), herbs (herbalist) and other assorted crap, I just can't really spare the space for something that only gives me 3% riding speed bonus.
      
      Don't get me wrong though. If you want it, go for it. I got a trinket that summons a voidwalker for zero mana and no soul shard every 30 minutes I got for a class quest. Everyone on thottbot but one guy said go with one of the other rewards instead (they were very passionate about it...lol). Well, I would have outgrown the other items, yet I use that trinket every single day and it's good at any level (much like this trinket). It's all about your needs in the game, and what works best for you. Go with your gut, not what everyone else thinks you should do.

  with outfitter you can have mount trinkets automatically equipped when you mount, and swapped out when you dismount
  
  carrot on a stick is the best mounted trinket until you can afford a riding crop

have everyone mount and just run thru- turn left then up to the pool. IF YOU JUMP IN POOL you will lose aggro!

climb out clear a few around the north of pool then summon. So easy.

Easy to solo as 60 also...

Well i joined a PUG and was given 4 Quests. We completed all 4 which leveled me from 40 to 41 [More or less]and i came away with "The Carrot on a Stick" too!

i count myself very lucky, but good to know if a guildie has got it and can share with you.

Gahz=big boss. There are two ways to him, 1) you can clear out the rest of the instance and come through a alley, or 2) go through a smaller, less-time consuming route, but it still leads to rest of instance. A tablet may drop off the trolls or Hydromancer Vel, and it will say how to summon him. Mallet is in Hints in a troll city, VERY hard to get solo....trust me, you need a good group to help you get it. If you dont clear out everything in the pool area where he spawns, back all your healers, spellcasters, etc besides tank in the area from which you came from (in my case, the alley). Let the tank draw him back, so you dont aggro the other mobs, if you didnt clear. if you DID clear, spread out and go wherever, you wont draw other mobs cept the pat in the alley from the chief.
There is a quest for a electrical scale of his, from 1k needles at the raceay off a gnome. You get a carrot on a stick, which is why he has bad drop rates- you WILL use this item on your mounted char for most of the game, as it gives a 3% (small? it still helps, trust me) increase in mounted speed.
I did it once with a 70 druid, and we wiped him in about 30 secs, easy, and she wasnt even feral, just a healer.
Hope this helps for those of you who want to know how to take him on and have questions about him.

We are 2 mages from the realm Duskwood. Im a lvl 52(frost) mage and my brother is a 54(fire) mage. After we Rang his little bell. he came out. i decided to just let 2 elementals get after him while we just comfortably sit back. My elementals brought over a quarter down. So he headed toward us when the time ran out on them. We reflected almost all his icicles which was funny. With a quarter of his life left he threw us way into the air. We were prepared for that this time. Slow fall comes in handy. We were gently floating down and he couldnt touch us. But we kept casting spells. He was dead before we touched the ground.. which was like a 10 second fall haha. Took a nice pic of my bro waving beside his corpse hopefully it will show when i submit it.

The thread has a good guide on how to get it.
Use it on the big gong by the water and Gahz'rilla comes walking out. Hes not attackable until hes out though, so I suggest you clear a large portion of the room first.
Strictly speaking, he is one easy boss! He died the fastest of any of the bosses we had faced so far (except maybe the excutioner). 2 warriors a healing druid and a hunter took him down in about 30-40 seconds (most of us about 50 i guess).
The only thign worth noting about him is his ability to throw you skyhigh...I only noticed it when our Tauren warrior caming crashing down next to me, lol.

Re: Gahz'rilla by ironsson, Score -1.8

just as a note to those of you who dont want to have to do the mallet gathering, especially multiple times for multiple toons, there is a way to have your one character summon him and then invite your other back to the party. have the toon with the mallet summon him and then log. he will not attack untill attacked. then your other toon gets logged back in and summoned or escorted to the fight so that they can help and get the loot too. personally we did this with a warlock who summoned the toon that needed the quest to the fight as soon as they got into the instance.

To clear up any doubts.

1. Head to the Altar of Zul
2. Kill trolls and watch for the [Sacred Mallet] to drop
(I got mine off the level 50 keepers atop the altar)
3. Take the mallet to the top of Jintha'alor (you may want to bring a 70 to help you up there)
4. Purify the mallet into [The Mallet Of Zul'Farrak]
5. Head back to Zul'Farrak and bang the gong to summon Gazrilla.
6. Kill and enjoy your 3% mount speed increase.

Hope this helps
