Hits for 1000 max. He was easily slowable by a 65 beastlord with Sha's Revenge (unlike the rest of the monsters in the zone...) Hardest part was clearing to him. We had a Necro for DPS / mez (undead), Beastlord tanking and dps, and a druid DPS and healing. None of us had very good equipment, I'd say mainly ornate and droppable items.
I've never seen a page drop from the castle entrance onward (the golem guards can). Same with staffs of suffering.
On the similar note, all the glimmering gems drop from the castle entrance through the courtyard where the higher rabids spawn. Not a single gem drops deeper (past the sizlok); not a single gem can be found outside the castle.
Once you are through the castle past Korucust into the graveyard looking area where Rabid #3 spawns the pages are at their most common. Which coincidentally is rediculously rare every since the ninja nerf of lootdrops in CharB oh so very long ago. Expect 1 every 2-8 hours depending on kill rates and luck~
have someone mq the quest with you... you hand in 2 pages and have a friend hand in 2 pages... when the golem spawns, kill him and loot, then another golem will immediatly spawn. we did this and got 8 people rings
this guy was such a disappointing fight for being a lvl "68". we had some major over kill with him when we totally kicked his butt last night(65 monk - who was 2 boxing a 63 mage, 65 cleric, 65 shammy, 58 warrior, and me a 56 druid). dropped the heart which we returned to silzok and got a pretty nice ring.
we got bored after the 3 minutes it took to kill him and do the ring turn in, that we decided to go on and see how many more pages we could find to kill him again, and try and get everyone in the group a ring.. didnt happen though, due to the lack of pages dropping.
