Popped for me today and had the Wand visible in his hand.
Taken out with 71 Bard 71 Wizard with healer merc and tank merc. J1 Tank merc tanked him quite easily.
Got greater rune and the Wand (obviously) Grats Wizard.
This is on the new Mayong server, only a couple of months old so RSS is actually quite busy so I decided to see if Ilsallin was a bit quieter and to try to get some 69/70 runes, most of the 2 hours or so there I was the only one in zone.
