How many pallies do you know got BOTH halves on the same day?
Well, now you know one, anyway. :)
Looted from Faydedar on Stromm at exactly 22:44:48 MTN, Wed Jan 10, 2007. He was hanging around the southwest corner. From the OT translocator, it was a loooong run...
Anyway. Best of luck to all you pallies out there. BELIEVE!
We recently got the Torn, Frost Covered Book from Gorenaire in the Dreadlands on the Stromm Server. THANK YOU soo much good friend and Realm of Magic guildie for weeks of visiting the Dreadlands and checking track for this elusive mob. Gorenaire was waundering in the area just below the ice caves and we dropped him on the snowy slopes, with the help of several guild members ~~ thankies and <3 you all Realmers .../hugs
He does fear, resisted with about 290ish magic resist. Otherwise not too hard of a battle.
Loot Table: Torn, Frost Covered Book (two of these) While Dragon Scale for the Bard Epic and some pretty nice spells too :D
While this is... seven years after your question, the answer is no. It still drops off of Gorenaire in Dreadlands; just looted it today on Quellious-Povar.
I can confirm that the Torn, Frost covered book does still drop off of Faydedar. I have 6 kills in the past 30 days and had 2 books drop. You can get the Torn, Burnt book from Nagafen, Severilous, Talendor, and Melalafen. The Torn, Frost covered book drops from Vox, Gorenaire, and Faydedar.
Faydedar is only level 55, if you have decent resists it's soloable by any reasonably well geared melee. (Done by 70 monk w 10k hp, 2100 ac, 500ish AA, using a Damage Shield Potion and Mend).
Yes this can be MQ'ed for the Book of Scales, I had actually helped a Pally with it as well (Another person had also turned in the fire book, so doing only 1/3 is still possible in getting the book).
