I think we should all be prepared to see this quest linked in our local trade channel spam upon the advent of Cataclysm. Sad, but true.

Comment by Zeqp

Kay, so I found him just where the in-game quest helper said he was. Tho it took me around 40 minutes to find him. Added a picture.

Edit: A couple of 100 feet to the left of Harrison Jones

Comment by Thelinnia

The shaft drops by Sultan Oogah just east of Harrison Jones.

Comment by 409

There is a guy named Skarf that wanders around 68,33 that drops the staff.

Comment by 707157

He's riding on Skarf, a hyena. Kill the Hyena and he'll spawn

Comment by 419768

The staff is dropped by Sultan Oogah riding a hyena named Skarf.

They can be found at 68, 31 on top of a small mound within a sand pygmy camp. (go to the right of Harrison Jones)

Premature Explosionation

Which leads to

Just the tip

which requires "Shaft of the Stars"

Sexual Innuendo? I think so. ;)

I just hope she's not a Tauren Female!

Janice: I've got the perfect girl for you!
Jeremy Grey: Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair.
Janice: Okay...
Jeremy Grey: OK, can you, can you put that so he can't see it? Thank you. Hey, Janice... great talk.

Just kill mob "Sultan Oogah" which is raiding on "Skarf". Will drop Staff, which then combine with quest item you got.
These mobs are just east of quest giver (near laders and two campfires).

... just to see how it feels.

Comment by 552421

You will get the quest item from Sultan Oogah (68.31)

Comment by TK0680

For a little Shaman fun, you can Hex Skarf and Oogah will not dismount. He'll continue to wobble about on the frog, and happily let you kill him (at which point he'll fall off and be lootable as usual).

Located at: loc: 68, 32 on a ledge!

Comment by jafar

That's what she said !

Comment by 748916

I actually didn't notice anyone to the east, or left of Harrison Jones. I found the dude named Skarf (that wanders around 68,33) and drops the staff.

Comment by 732122

Item wouldn't drop, killed him four times. Abandon & re-accept quest did the trick.

Comment by 110759

Archer anyone?

Comment by cronomega

HORADRIC STAFF!

Comment by Verdice

Polymorph Skarf for some fun. :)

... oh, and for an easy kill, too. Sure, why not.

Comment by 742356

DUDES/GALS- HEY YOUR DATA IS NOT ALL RIGHT , YOU GET 1/2 OF THE STICK IN YOUR BAG WITH THE DISK THATS PROVIDED BY THE QUEST. SO LOOK IN YOUR BAGS THEN TO CLICK- LEFT TO MAKE THE SHAFT . AND YOU COMPLETE THE QUEST -DONE.

Comment by 742356

remeber its one of those quests that you have to look in your bags to click on the object , so dont go crazy , like i did.

Comment by Moonflower

Reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark; see item, Sultan's Staff: "They're digging in the wrong place!"

Comment by Thorios

Uhh, we also have to... combine a staff... into a... disc... which can resemble to...

Comment by 779422

I couldn't find him either just make a macro:
/target Sultan and there he is :)

Comment by 411790

Could this quest possibly be any more vague? Felt like I was questing in Vashj'ir again!

He is at the above mentioned coordinates which is a small encampment with several bone ladders and a couple of tent-like bonfires which may make it easier to locate him from a distance. You fight him as well as the hyena and any other ooga-boogas around him in this small camp.

Thank you to all the folks who gave valuable information as to where to find him instead of just babbling nonsense. I was simply lost as to where to look for nearly 30 minutes so the coordinates were incredibly helpful.

Comment by 747408

Confirmed. found the sultan on the skarf just east of the quest giver. killed them both in like a second and got the staff. so now i can use the whole thing and not just the tip. yeah!

Comment by aawow

It is probably worth pointing out that killing a Mangy Hyena in the area led to the auto accept quest Do the World a Favor. So its probably worth killing a few Mangy Hyenas if you have not already acquired the quest Do the World a Favor.

Comment by OldWolf

I had to kill a Hyena called 'Skarf' that was wandering around on its own, to make the Sultan appear

Comment by narrat0r

So what do you prefer? Test Tickle or Just the Tip?

Comment by db997c

69.1, 31.9

Killed Skarf, waited maybe twelve or fifteen seconds, then Skarf spawned again with Oogah.

Took a screenshot of the pygmy camp on the ridge east/southeast of Obelisk of the Stars to give a visual idea for those without coordinates, but then I saw the screenshot already submitted and it was virtually identical to the one I took, even same height and angle.

Comment by 825036

BLIZZ is so perverted. haha.

Comment by lordlight

Just the tip, I promise. . . .

Comment by 919818

Possibly in reference to just the tip? Either way, that's what I immediately thought of when I saw this quest title.

Also, if anyone is as stupid as me (unlikely), you actually have to right click and combine the two, not stand in front of Harrison and wonder aimlessly as to why there's no yellow question mark. /headdesk

Comment by Kemaria

To summarize: Go to 68, 31 and kill the Sultan on top of his little jackal mount, Skarf. If Skarf is there alone, just kill him and the pair should reappear together. You'll loot the staff from the Sultan, which you'll combine with the disc already in your bags.

Then, for those like me who killed the sultan, got the staff, and then stood there pondering what to do next, I'd like to point out that you click on the *disc* portion to combine the staff with the disc, not the staff. I kept trying to click on the staff portion, which didn't do anything. :P

Comment by 466885

Fun fact:
Unlike other mounted mobs, if you polymorph Skarf (the mount), the sultan will not dismount nor aggro, he will simply sit strangely sideways on the sheep's rear end and be unable to get any closer to you while you barrage him with various spells.
However, if you simply polymorph Skarf and leave them alone (and possibly aggro them in this state by presence, I'm not entirely certain), they will bug up and the sultan will simply vanish and Skarf will remain patrolling the area without a sultan on his back.

Comment by BoxingClover

Can anybody help me? I see skarf around the camp site butthe sultan is not riding him.

Comment by 1018042

This quest is buggy...here's how I did it. When you pick up the quest, go east a short way. There's a ridge with campfires. I saw Skarf the hyena, killed him, and then he respawned with Sultan Oogah riding him. However, because I was positioned funny, I aggro'd the Sultan/Skarf and another nearby hyena, so I ran. When I turned back around, Sultan Oogah was no longer riding Skarf. Had to kill Skarf again, and again, he respawned with the Sultan, and this time I killed them both, looted the Sultan for the staff, and then I was able to complete the quest.
