Chenrazee's /loc posted years ago:

/loc 29, -273 in room with 3 other mobs, he dead ahead as you look in through door of jail. the jail complex is around to the right from entrance to permafrost.


Worked for me. Dropped on TLP (for those seeking such info).
GAH!

12 kills, 8 were him, 4 were placeholder. The book dropped only the 8th time.

Spawn time is about 24 min. Saw the Icy Goblin spawn all by himself one time. There doesn't seem to be any other placeholder other than the goblins in the room. After 5 spawns (including when I first got there) I've seen the Icy three times and he hasn't dropped the book yet.

I camped the Icy last night for about six hours.Never saw it even once.The jailer popped once in the next room.I kept all the cells cleared as well as every gob between there and the king room(and yes killed the elites,sages etc below the ledge there).Spawns are random.In in his place I saw evokers,wizards,regular ice,priests,mendicants.Sometimes the room pops 3 gobs some times 2 and on occasion just one.The rest of the cells follow this pattern as well.The jailor room always seemed to pop same number of gobs.Only variance there was the types.Was kinda depressing after all that time I got some fs weapons and some coins.Now I read here that he could pop and not drop the book?Lol thats typical of SoE's prime directive.Waste a whole lot of time.I could have gotten another gold bubble toward 54 and made a few k in the process.Instead I made about 100p.Btw I just let my 49 pet do all the killing while I watched tv and it was still boring as hell.I'll not go back since even the main gobs dropped nothing but trash.
How I did

At the moment I was a untwinked necro lvl 30 with not even a robe on... And this is how I did to kill him to get the book which I did:

Went invis all the way into the hall with many doors just outside where this guy is... Opened the door and took a look... It was him and 4 others... I target him and go outside...med up yo full...I make a pet(Since there is doors they wount agro). Buffed up all buff spells a necro get...
I wak right outside door and put pet on attack (remeb I had him targeted). Of course All did went on my pet(which was a lvl 28 high, spell 29). I cast Boil Blood - vampiric curse - poision shock - poison shock - And then my pet died... I got all on me... Tried to FD but they didn't fall for it...so I used harmshild to wait for FD to come back... STodd there and they keept try hit me. I pressed as mad on FD so it should cast as soon as harmshield went of. To add that the goblin did die about the same time as I casted harmshield... Harmshild down and I succeded a FD. To add I went out in the hall where I made my pet... lay there until they left... looted the book and gated...

But I could maight as well died... was lucky with the FD...
Aye

Yes, he drops the Book of Frost. You get this, the Shadow Book from Shadowmen, Book of Darkness from Erudian magicians in Lake Rathe, and 300 GP and you can get the Words of Darkness. Very good item for necros. No drop, lore, magic item
damn long camp

He does indeed spawn in the middle jail room, directly in the back. His place holder is a goblin wizard, and the spawn are on a 25 minute timer. The icy is a caster, and a fairly good one at that. His rare drop IS a book for the necro quest Writ of Darkness out of The Temple of Sol Ro.
Hidden area?

he spawns in the jail area in the middle room
the difference between that room an others is that 2 spawn on top of each other. the rear one is the icy or his placeholder.

Seem's once you have the said room cleared ,all that spawns is the placeholder .But if they stay poped to long the rest of the Room re-spawns.oh yeah keep'em snared .

Rare drops an item (book?) needed for a Necro quest. Easy to get to, fairly easy to camp (don't let anything run).
