Mr.Kotte · Dec 05, 2007, 03:43 PM // 15:43

Has anyone got the statistics of the droprates from them bosses? (i.e is it like one tome every 20 run (1/20) or one every 50 run (1/50)?)
Also, my contribution: Cultist Milthuran (--->Necromancer<---), E/A (Intensity, Crystal Wave, Tenai's Crystals, Glyph of Elemental Power and Obsidian Flame is needed, very few enemies to make sliver armor sufficient)
PS: I did 150 runs on Milthuran and got no elite tomes what so ever... Probably my bad luck..

*EDIT: Added boss profession.
*EDIT 2: HEYHEYHEY, This is NOT an Elementalist Boss!!! This is a Necromancer boss!!!! The build used to kill him is E/A!!! NOTENOTENOTE!

I beleive, it is based on how often you attempt to farm the boss. Seeing as how i farmed Admiral Kaya for a sin and got one in my 3rd try after abstaining for like, 3-4 months. Im not saying you have to wait that long, but the longer you wait, i think the less runs you have to do. (could be wrong, just based on my experience)

He used to be my favorite farm. I made plenty of money selling his green for 8-12 each during the months before GWEN released. I used a 55SV build similar to the one in this vid

Fuzzy Taco · Dec 05, 2007, 11:03 PM // 23:03

Jishol Darksong - 55SV

Chor, the Bladed can be farmed with 55 SV as well. same with Xuekao, there's a video on youtube showing how to pull him without popping any necros.

Lunto Sharpfoot - 55SV

Marobeh Sharptail - 55 SS

Add:

Monk:
Dunshek the Purifier, just outside Lair of the Forgotten
E/A - having Dark Escape help running pass giants by the res shrine. If Dunshek's mob spawn with another monk in it, then he'll be very difficult to kill. If you get this spawn then look for and spring a popup mob to increase Sliver damages, otherwise just resign and start a fresh run.

Will check this, thnx for the information.

Will also post back the results - and also, so I didnt get you wrong, what you're saying is that if I farm one boss, take... Stonereaper for example, for 10 times, then wait a while (...wait 3 months...), then farm him again, I should have a higher chance of getting a Elite Tome?

smrandom · Dec 06, 2007, 07:46 PM // 19:46

It's completely random, so don't waste your time trying to quantify it. I got an Elite Tome the first time I soloed the Scar Eater and Birneh Skybringer. It took me about 3 hours to get one from TomTom Spiriteater and Eshim Mindclouder. It took more to get one from Fahralon. I've soloed Zehnelun Fastfoot and Johon in excess of 50 times each over the course of a few days and neither one dropped a tome for me during that period. Some people get lots; some people have never had one drop at all.

My point is that the only thing you can do to improve your chances of getting an Elite tome is to be patient and persistent.

@OP: you forgot to add Fahralon the Zealous to the Dervish list and all of the Cathedral of Flames bosses. Unless you disagree with the inclusion of these bosses for some reason.
