Came back to the game after many years. Recognized the camp when I finally found it. I killed about 10 rounds before I got the first enraged to spawn, dropped the bowl. Then he spawned again 2 of the next 4 times with the shield dropping on the third enraged. Camped it with a 59 shaman with hero journey gear and a tank merc without issues. Going to move to the four corners and camp the Tae Ew Ritualists mask next.
Killed around 20 place holders over 3 days before an enraged disciple spawned. He dropped the shield, which I took to a cleric friend (it is tradable). Came back to see if he was up again, which he was, and he dropped the shield again. Still a nice cleric clicky... can click while running from inventory,and the buff last 20 min. If you're going to camp this clicky, just park a high lvl alt at camp and log in several times a day to kill ph.. better than waiting around 20min each. Definitely expect alot of ph's.
It's the weekend, i have no life, so i decided to try and get this levitation shield for my wife's cleric. I have been here 17 hours, have gotten 3 enraged disciples to spawn, and all 3 dropped the STUPID bowl. In fact the last spawn was one, and i was so pissed i figured i'd put a comment about it.
I think these drop rates are horrendous for the average spawn rate of this mob. So you figure just about every 6 hours this freaken mob spawns, that's if you're killing every cycle which takes 20 minutes to respawn, and the bowl which nobody will use drops just about every time.
I suppose since the wifes at work and i have nothing to do anyway on my weekend i'll continue to camp it, if i wasn't camping this for her i'd probally be camping some other mob i'd suppose, so actually I dont know what the hell i'm complaining about :) oh yeah the drop rate, it blows hard!
trying to get this on my cleric. we went to the temple, up stairs, right hallway, up more stairs to get to loc near where evilhoot posted as 312.32, 316.88, 30.11 & i was wondering if anyone knows which mob is actually the PH or even what the respawn time is on the mobs?
So, I ran into CT today to familiarize myself with the zone. I wasn't exactly sure where the room was or what I was looking for. I had invis drop once to see invis mobs, killed those. Then went to invis again when I was attacked by stuff in the other room. I looted a mob thinking I'd clean up around while another one was still beating on me when I saw a little disk thing and thought that it couldn't be. It was the shield! I immediately linked to my guild saying omg. I didn't even realize I was attacking the right mob or that I was so close to the room. Total time in zone about 15 mins. I wasn't even sure if I was going to log on...
I went to CT to camp this item on saturday. I killed one placeholder and the Named popped. And he dropped it on his first kill. It took me almost as long to get to the camp as to kill one PH and the named. Total time in zone 30 minutes.
This is an extremely RARE drop. If you plan on camping this...be ready to pitch a tent, and bring some snacks, its going to be a while for you to see this, unless you simply get mega lucky..in that case go buy a lottery ticket in rl <grin>
As for pricing, well it is worth what ever anyone is willing to pay for an instant clicky levi from inventory slot, the stats who cares.
So before you give anyone a hard time about the price on this item, go and spend some time your self wasting away camping this, and maybe then you will appreciate what it is worth.
This is not an extremely rare drop - the mob itself is a rare spawn but shield of stridings are probably just as comman as his other drop or maybe a tiny bit rare
once you're in the upper throne room, there's 2 parts to the hallway: the first behind the first door on the left, which holds 2 justicars and 1 protector usually. the middle mob is the only PH for AED. the other part normally holds 2 necros and 1 protector. the way myself (70 rogue) and 70 cleric did it was to clear once to get to the hallway for camp. then instead of clearing, use Eyes to target and paci then pull instead of clearing everything. easy camp imo.

this guy spawned on first clear today and dropped the Shield for me - talk about great luck - makes up for the whole night I spent camping the mob who drops barbed rubicite pauldrons but didnt spawn all night for me - its boring if these guys dont spawn but I got real lucky I guess.
Update: Spawned twice in a row - this time dropped bowl of viscious ooze
Update: must be my lucky day - just looted sanguine tome minutes after looting the shield (from tae ew bloodfiend) :)
Yo, Okay. So I've heard alot about this shield...I was told its worth 300k+ On Tarew Marr...Only because there was only 2 in game, and they dont drop anymore...I got cheaped out of a deal, so can anyone tel me a price for this ??
i just got this in Uper throne room. he spawns in the room secent to top, as you go up you will reach the top where the warmaster or whatever spawns in the lower room there is a door... he spawns in there.. the Loc is 312.32, 316.88, 30.11

Okay I've read all the posts and nobody has explained if the effect is useable by all classes from the inventory.
As a monk this would make for a nice junk buff, if we can click it from the inventory.
Now before I get 10 replies saying "Why would a monk be able to use the effect? It's CLR/DRU/SHM only." certain items can be used from the inventory (where your bags are) even if your class can't use. Example: Amulet of Necropotence.
This can only be click by who can weild it , yes so only cleric , dr00ds and shamans could do , and ofcourse click from inventory , it is not " must equip ".
I farm in here with some friends a lot, and, while we haven't gotten this shield specifically, we've gotten quite a few other clickies from this zone, and they cannot be used by other classes.
Since pretty much all of the items that drop in this zone follow the same rules, I'd say that it can't be used by a monk.
