Daedra you need to change the plains of jarin part as termites are warriors not rangers - you mean the Stalking Nephila.

Secret lair of the snowmen can provide monk tomes ( not sure if others drop ) for any profession.
Raptors ( any build capable of solo will do - check raptor posts ) sin tomes.
Outside Olafstead ( forgot map name ) - ice ele/imps for ele tomes , jotuns for war/necro tomes , infact most foes there drop tomes and can be done as solo sin and im sure as 600/smite team as well.
Uw for variety of tomes.

Probably one of the easiest for teams would be wurm farming in desolation - any profession and best as human team not h/h specially if you farm the monolyth temple as thats got a variety of tomes with 3 chances of an elite tome from 3 margonite bosses ( you need 2 quests to farm it and they same quests for ss/lb farming there )

Just a tip, you might want to format this better because atm without any bold/underlined stuff and a small font it's hard to find stuff easily (and small font is annoying).

Btw, those stalking nephilia can be farmed by practically anything.

Also:

Hulking Stone Elementals outside of Ascalon City/Sardelac Sanitarium drop Warrior Tomes. Can be done with a N/Mo or Mo/x 55. Necro is best, as SV is a cleaner killer vs. SoJ (takes longer). Chance for Elite Warrior and Ele Tomes as well. If you go after the Gargoyles you can loot Ele and Mes tomes, if you go after Devourers you can get Ranger, Warrior, and Necro tomes, if you hit Grawl that's Warrior and Monk Tomes (don't suggest it, Grawl Ulodytes heal for massive 'red bars go up'), Crown of Thorns can drop Monk Tomes.

Bergen Hot Springs / Cursed Lands:

Chances to get Warrior, Necro, Monk, Mesmer, Ele, Ranger tomes on a 55 Monk by Undead Farming. Bosses include a Mesmer, Ele, and Necro (random spawns) so a chance to get Elite Tomes as well.

The best spot PERIOD to farm mesmer tomes is farming Spectral Vaettirs in Jaga Moraine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO_i_id2Yw0

The best spot i've come across for monk tomes is
The Secret Lair of the Snowmen
Easily done with a perma sliver sin.

Paragon tome farming is best done at the fortress of jahai......warrior tome farming aint bad there either.

Hmm, on second thought, the fortress of jahai sucks! Ack, who would farm that absolute cesspool?!? Nothing there is any good!

Please quietly disregard that suggestion until i have properly farmed it for all its worth.

Assassin Tomes
-Location = Boreas Seabed(Explorable)
-Monsters = Luxon Assassins(during quest: The Halcyon Job)
-Build(s) = Many. Check this thread. Anything that kills melee. I use a 55 N/Mo:

[build prof=N/Mo name="Luxon Sins" cur=12+1+3 prot=12 blood=2+3 soul=2+3 desc="-50 cesta useful, not required{br}20% Enchant weapon required{br}SS, MoP on Sins(pull to stairs){br}IP, SS, Necrosis on boss(cast IP, run up stairs and then all the way left or right to corner{br}If Kurzick>Luxon, suicide to teleport to res shrine by bridge"][Insidious Parasite][Spiteful Spirit][Mark of Pain][Balthazar's Spirit][Shield of Absorption][Necrosis][Shielding Hands][Protective Spirit][/build]


Mo/N works, too. Easier, but very slightly slower.

This isnt regular tomes but I noticed that it was a good place to farm Elite Necro, Mes, Warrior, and Ele Tomes.

-Location= Dragon's Gullet
-Monster= Various Bosses
-Build= [Glyph of swiftness][deadly paradox][shadow form][glyph of lesser energy][ebon battle standard of honor][sliver armor][shadow sanctuary][deaths charge]

The only time you will really need 7 and 8 is when you fight the ele boss. Once you know the location of the bosses the runs will be a breeze.

I farm Kinya Province with my Necro and get alot of Monk, Ele, and Rit tomes.

The build is nothing special. You will not be able to take out the Crimson Skull Mesmer guys but the others are no trouble. When the Rits cast Wanderlust just run away cuz its HM and they will chase you!
