Well the only thing that a Pre-Patch is good for is truely unattended skill gain, because I believe even your weapon does not take damage while whacking it. I can not tell you for sure because a friend of mine lost my Pre-Patch. However if you consider that even at 15,000gp which I think is gonna be on the high end on most shards for a Golem, you could buy 1666 regular Golems, I think 25 million is just whacked all to hell.
