Default Best Tome Farming Spots?

Are there certain places that are best for farming certain normal tomes?

Obviously the raptor cave is best for Sin tomes, I get a nice amount of Mesmer tomes farming vaettir, and I can get war tomes form minotaur and an okay amount of monk tomes from snowmen.

I'd like to know where other types of tomes are farmable.. particularly Derv and Ele tomes. I'm not a huge farmer so I don't know all the good groups. I've tried farming the dervs outside Olafsted but Intimidating aura makes it seemingly impossible to use any enchants.. oddly enough I did the best against them soloing with my paragon. Prolly could have killed more than the ones that I did if it weren't for stupid mistakes :B.

Just trying to save a few plat . Thanks for any help.

For Derv tomes, you could try Skale and Scytheclaw Behemoths found in various locales in Elona. For both Ele and Derv tomes, the Kournan plants consist of both classes if I'm not mistaken.

What about Rit and Paragon tomes?

I remember I used to farm Tusked Howlers and other Ape-like creatures in Arkjok Ward. They were pretty easy to farm in NM, haven'te tested out in HM yet.

.. Unless someone has better spots to farm Paragon tomes.

Fahranur, The First City is a great place for derv tomes, and there's no better place than just out side of the Plains of Jarin for ranger tomes, there's two groups there and with a 330 rit you can do the run in just under 2 minutes.

I think your best bet is outside Sunspear great hall where all the termites are.
Every group of termites has some paragons in it and theres a group with a paragon boss as well, which is also farmable so you can also get some elite para tomes.
I don't know of any mobs consisted solely of paragons, i imagine it's quite ineffective...
