I bought one Elite Tome for my new Warrior and I used it to learn Dragon Slash. I bought it for 6k.

I noticed that Elite Tomes are sold high (and people are buying it). There are other players who are selling Normal tome for more than 1k (LOL max price of tome from NPC is 1k).

How about you? Did you buy Elite for your new character? Does it worth the price of your tome?

MrGuildBoi · Feb 26, 2008, 03:05 AM // 03:05

I didn't buy them, I think it's a waste. If you buy them early, then you can't really use it because your attribute is low. But if you are really desperate, I guess you could buy it. Also if you are survivor, you should probably cap it unless you went boxing. So, in all, No I did not.

got all monk elites via tomes

Cacheelma · Feb 26, 2008, 03:08 AM // 03:08

I "used" the ones I had for some secondary elites because it's too troublesome to bring my Rit to cap them.

No, but I start new chars that often. I only sell them.

Bluefeather · Feb 26, 2008, 03:11 AM // 03:11

Tomes (skills) don't need attributes right? Like, I can use Dragon Slash even if im level 3?

@ Vitues, you must be very rich. Too many gold or working on titles?

Cherng Butter · Feb 26, 2008, 03:13 AM // 03:13

I used Mind Blast at level 2. What?

I used an elite Warrior tome for Warrior's Endurance because I can't be bothered to go cap it.

Snow Bunny · Feb 26, 2008, 03:14 AM // 03:14

When I am making chars PvP ready that I know will run at most two to three bars, I give them tomes for everything.

My ranger and warrior are a good example of this.

I got my assassin all elites and all reg skills using tomes. They're not that expensive.

For me, characters who are for a specific purpose(IE, not my main) will get their elites from tomes unless the elite is close. My main doesn't need to cap/use tomes for elites(legendary skill capper

).

Tomes are not the same as buying skills from NPCs.

"(LOL max price of tome from NPC is 1k)."

What NPC sells tomes?

Malice Black · Feb 26, 2008, 03:27 AM // 03:27

No. My guildies have kindly donated about 5 warrior elites to me though. Go go D-Slash spammin'

I would though. Elites can be useful at lower levels.

RPGmaniac · Feb 26, 2008, 03:29 AM // 03:29

I've used tomes to get some skills for my 55. Same with my warrior since I didn't feel like going to cap some of the skills I wanted for him (Eviscerate being a fine example seeing as I can NEVER find it in SF). Other than that I typically sell my tomes to fuel my ranger's progress toward elite skill hunter. Only 40 something skills left to go

You can use tomes at any level, but often your attribute points are too low to get the most out of a skill. Dragon Slash, for instance is best used with at least 14 swordsmanship because then you can use a shout that doubles adrenaline and spam it as much as you want.

i use the ones i find because i cant be bothered to sell the regs for such low prices. and the elites i find i usually have a need for anywho

I think they are the same for me because I have purchased all unlock skills (including core). So, wherever my character is, I can buy anything from the first Skill Trainer. That is if we are talking about normal tomes which i mentioned in my post.

Unless there are other things that I need to know about tomes.

@ Malice, its really good to have good guild. The last time i was in a guild, i kept giving never receiving (LOL no offense to my former guildmates).

And they're not the same. Skills from skill trainers also require skill points. And for some skills, they aren't available during the early parts of the game (this only apply to Nightfall I think).

mage767 · Feb 26, 2008, 03:44 AM // 03:44

I buy only 1 or 2 elite tomes (to unlock good elites) for my characters if the desired elite skills are far within the storyline.

However, I usually end up selling more than buying, resulting in a huge surplus

Ah wait...i only used Elite Tomes maybe 2 or 3 times. But i've read somewhere that Elite Tomes will also consume 1 skill. Is it correct?

Also, tomes (elite or normal) will only allow you to "learn" skills already unlocked by your other character, right? So, even if the skill is available in the early part of the game and your character have not learned it yet, the skill will not be listed as "learnable" when you use a tome, am I right?

ShadowsRequiem · Feb 26, 2008, 03:51 AM // 03:51

Yeah I bought most of all my Sin and Monk elites just so I could pvp and not have to go through chapters.

I only have bought elite really. I've sold hundreds of monk/mes/ele/war tomes
