Curse

I have been looking at the prices of tomes lately and I noticed that there is quite a large desire for monk tomes at about 1.5k a piece. Also, there is almost always someone trying to buy them in major towns. I started trying to find locations to farm them, but I couldn't really think of anything other than smites. Can anyone think of another location for these?

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Hungry_Devourer quest so that these spawn: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Succulent_Juniper
Try this link, and check the list: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Category:Monks
Off the top of my head, these come to mind:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Blessed_Griffon
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Scourge_Vaettir
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Essence_of_Kirin not sure this is worth it, but other drops here are good as well
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Saoshang_Trail half the mantids here are monks, and it is very short

I, too, should suggest to go for Mantid Monitors.

There are two very convenient places that offer lots of them in a small array:

1. Kinya Province outside Ran Musu gardens - those can be farmed with a 55hp N or Mo using SV (in order to kill them one by one and thus increase drop chances a little)
2. Wajjun Bazaar just outside Nahpui Quarter - those come in large groups and seem to be farmable with an Obsidian Flesh/Glyph of Swiftness Ele build.

I'd suggest Azure's outside port sledge.

I farm Manatid Monitors outside Naphui Quarter in Factions using E/Me

Wow thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm testing out all of these places to see what is best... I was playing around with a Obsidian Flesh/Glyph of Swiftness/Sliver Armor ele in Wajjun and it worked the best so far. I had no luck with drops of tomes though but I came out with a handful of golds so it all balances out. Well, I guess that I will keep on farming there a bit more... Thanks!

I had some drop in the Snowmen dungeon with full party of hero/hench. Havent looked closely at the classes there, but may be worth a look.

Snowmen dungeon contains every profession, I believe.

I got one from the Doppelganger a while ago.

tbh the easiest way to get monk tomes is to farm margonites in turais procession. as i farmed there a lot i got a stack of 150 monk tomes and also around 150 warrior , dervish and mesmer tomes and i made quite some money with selling them ^^ with the dervish tomes i tought my vish all skills during the elona tut :P and you get a lot golds there too

what build were you using, can't seem to overcome the healing enough to kill them in any reasonable time :/

Snowman dungeon guarantees you some monk tomes. I got one from the first 20 snowmen killed (about 30 seconds worth)

Ken34 · Oct 24, 2007, 08:24 AM // 08:24

the Mantid Monitors in kinya province outside of Ran musu gardens drop monk tomes, and that place is easy as cake to farm in. I used a 55 monk with SS+ IP.

Anyone care to share an effective build for Saoshang Trail? I can't seem to overload the healing enough.
