now after a few weeks after the hardmode release i think there are more known spots to farm tomes,

warrior tomes(non elite) can be farmed at elona in tyria

ranger non+elite at rihlon refuge

ele non+elite outside of kamadan i think, there is the little tutorial boss with his henchs

i thinks is usefull to farm the normal tomes as well, u can unlock them with baltharas points and just learn them , i got atm 67 non elite ranger tomes at rihlon so my ranger can get a lot skills withput leveling for skillpoints or have to buy them for 1 p

my hope is that you know some nice spots to get non elite or elite tomes and share them with me

i also tried to farm yolon insects for warrior tomes, but cant farm them ^^ tried alot builds but im to bad


so plz post your farmspots or ideas with screens or builds , would be nice

I think Warrior Elite Tomes can be farmed by killing Bonetti in Old Ascalon, haven't tried it yet though...

Well don't bother with Chor(war), Mindcouder(Mes) or TomTom SpiritEater(Rit).
I did all 3 near 150 times each as an A/E or E/A and Chor was the only one that dropped it.
Near 450 times total for 1 Elite Tome ...

Like mentioned above, I too have gotten more elite tomes (and regular tomes ;/) out of the chests in the mirror of lyss then I have off bosses.

Although as a side note, I went to do Yammiron. A chest kept popping where he was. Finally bought a key, well I was going and ran into a chest, so I used it .. Elite Sin Tome ... Killed Yammiron .. Elite Mesmer Tome :P

I needed both.

Try windriders and creatures like that. Often a lot of em bunched up. Or you could try those elemental mesmers, roaring ethers.

mindclouder and chor isnt such a bad farm. for me, they were droppin 1tome per 20-30 runs or so. now if u want bad, try woespreader. literally killed him 500+ then i decided to jus drop it, played some missions and my necro just capped s.victor instead of tome-ing it. scareater for the win. that thong wearing fag drops elite tomes like whoa.

55-farming through Fahranur, the First City has netted me quite a few Warrior, Dervish and Necromancer tomes so far (non-elite). I'm not sure if the Frigid Skales can drop Elementalist tomes, but that doesn't matter much...

... since I can get Elementalist tomes from the Kappas outside Gyala Hatchery... and also in Kinya Province on Shing Jea, which also happens to be the location to get...

... Monk tomes from Mantid Monitors.... ^_^



Thus far I've not had any Mesmer, Ranger, Assassin, Ritualist, nor Paragon tomes... but I'm still working on it.

As Elite Tomes go, I've only had the Elite Monk Tomes from Byzzr Wingmender... but everyone and their granny knows about those.

No my granny doesnt..

Anyway, spending 1-2 hrs farming for that elite tome or 30-60 mins for getting to the boss and killing it? Tomes are a nice side-effect for farming, but should not be the main objective. Ofc selling the tomes is the objective for most, though they are flooding the market nowadays...

Right on, farming elite tomes is like a waste of time. You can better farm golds and BUY a elite tome... Much faster, 105hp monking FTW!
