Guide
The Drake of the South Wind can drop from Al’Akir in Throne of the Four Winds on roughly a 1% drop chance. Raid difficulty or raid size does not change the drop chance of this mount.
The entrance to Throne of the Four Winds can be found in the South/West end of Uldum. The entrance is only accessibly by flying up to it. The mount can drop on both Normal and Heroic and on 10man or 25man.
Al’Akir is the 2nd boss of the raid and doesn’t take long to reach. Take the slip stream on either the left or right to reach one of the Conclave of Wind bosses. Engage and defeat the boss then use the slip stream to repeat this for the other two Conclave of Wind bosses until all three are defeated.
Once defeated you’ll find a large slip stream in the center of each platform, this will take you to the center where you can engage Al’Akir.
This boss is trivial at level 100 and above, simply defeat the boss and loot the Heart of Wind for a chance at the Drake of the South Wind.
Extra Tips: Since you can only clear the raid once per week per character, run the raid on your alts to have more than one chance per week.
