My friend made a wizzy, bought this staff for him for 350p and gave it to me when he stopped the wiz, excellent deal, i see these for around 2k usually.
Boulder has spawned for me out of 2 different traps in The Grey. I have not seen it spawn else where, but have seen it running around while I was in the zone. Not too hard a kill for a level 62 druid.
Has a great look and for a low level caster is a great buy. Mana and Int as well as STA and hitpoints. Wow! Sounds like a weapon just made for a necro with very nice dmg.
Going rate on Luclin, Vazaelle, and Drinal is about 2 to 4k. You can get lucky from time to time.
Looks very unique. Place a blood red or dark blue robe on a DE and this staff will just shines in their hands.
Hope some of this might help, it is my experiences but also a lot of it is repeated several times below.
Was hunting outside temple entrance today and my prefered charmed pet is a stonegrabber - anyway ran towards one and it turned out to be Boulder - didn't try and charm it as I wanted to kill it so went to get another - when I returned it had gone - however I then got jumped by two boulderlings. I didn't manage to kill it as I was prepared. Spawn spot seems to be Stone directly outside ST entrance

Since the "Yek" expantion these have been poping up in the Bazaar on Innoruuk. Most are about 3 or 4k. Just by chance I was looking in a Traders window to buy something else and said "WTF is that!!" Bought this nice staff for my lvl 10 necro for 500p !!!! HehHeh....SHWEET !!
Bought this today, really just to see how it looked. 2,5k in bazaar. It looks like a grey transparent Greatstaff. Like a grey version of the blue Crystal Staff. Its cool. Stats are decent.
Hi, Dragons of Hope was camping here in the grey trying to get named Skeleton to pop, we are druid pulled this mob in, we killed it and he dropped the staff. Sweet staff and I lost roll, but still a damn nice staff.

Boulder dropped today as well as a Smooth Granite Ball and Yttrium ore. Very nice caster item.
Solo'd at 55, but had to squat-kite and use my Vams to finish him off. Lots of HP, root would hold on the average about 3 seconds or was totally resisted.
I know a little about bane damage because i am a 55 SK with Greenmist, a sword that has 6 bane damage vs shissar. against normal mobs i hit for a max of about 90, vs Shissar i've hit for over 120, Bane damage increases the base damage of the weapon, so when i am attacking against a shissar its 24 damage 22 delay instead of 18 damage 22 delay. in short, a bit better then adding 6 damage to the swing =P
Droped from Boulder a named rockfiend. He spawned after I was invis and running and trigger one of the Stonebeast traps so it seems he can be spawned by running over the zone triggering traps =)
I just looted it tonight :) We killed the mob with a wizard 54 a paladin 52 and a cleric 51. It had some fair amount of hp, but was easy because of its low magic resistance. Mob was yellow at 54, i tashed and slowed it, kept aggro on tank and our channeler did a very good job too :)
Great int caster items are coming out of Luclin, however, most of the best stuff still falls from mobs that would require a decent group... so farming is less likely in some of the higher end zones... at least that's my experience so far...
