Professor Glumb  

Glumb is the only mob i don't enjoy seeing up.. altho he does drop the Teir 2 chest remnant so he does help with gearing my various alts..

Fight is easy just gets hairy if too many adds show up since he loves to chain his DI-type spell.

One tip: If soloing with pure melee (i use my berserker to decap the bottom floor and Glumbs room) bring your Aged Staff of Null along or some other cancel magic item. His big DI spell takes 3-clicks of null staff (5 seconds each click.. but at least that cuts down his spell duration by half), and the 30-swing / spell absorb takes 1 click to debuff.. I just put on auto attack etc and as soon as i get the INVULNERABLE message i just click staff until he's getting struck. That way i dont waste endurance on special attacks trying to wear down the 30-attack absorb.

Confirmed that any "a lonely librarian" can spawn Glumb. He does seem to summon help. I had mobs from other areas that I know do not usually wander into this part of the zone, namely a Curious Custodian. Seems like they are snared the way they walk. They do not run into the fight like they normally would, but do a slow walk into the camp area. Was able to eliminate this from happening by moving the camp to the area described in some of the other posts by the quest giver, and keeping the area inside the stacks cleared.. This seemed to stop the mobs form coming to assist.

Dropped

Recondite Remnant of Greed, tonight

the NPC isnt on the bopttom most floor so the prior post isnt accurate

the NPC room isnt on the west side , its on the north side, so the two posts prior isnt accurate either

Confirmed dropped today 01.03.2011 T2 BP Recondite Remnant of Desire.

Spawned off "a lonely librarian" close to Tarlyn, just off the Scholars room

Dropped Fragile Trinket of Command

We camped at bottom of dead-end stairs on the west side, down from the landing with the task npc. Pulled all mobs along the west wall at top of steps from south to north corner, 2 mobs eastward along the northernmost aisle of books. Glumb spawned from the 2nd mob in.
Easy fight by 87 sk (5874ac unbuffed) with 87 sham/bot, 86 mage, 87 ranger and one merc healer. SK pulled mobs along aisle to the pher using Hate's Attraction/Death's Effigy aa combo without any trouble.
Dropped tier 2 wrist orb, 87 spell frag and new shield for sk. Mob didn't path around room as the bottom of landing was very confined. It did mem-blur each 25% and sk had to grab agro again quickly; but no pathers or adds nearby at bottom of stairs made it simple with a fast AE.
