Elite Tomes
Did Anet add some hidden nerf to elite tomes ?
120 Jishol Darksong kills - 0 tomes
170 Chkkr Thousand Tail kills - 0 tomes
100 Byzzr Wingmender kills - 0 tomes
Ofcourse all done in HM, they nerfed drops or i have really bad luck?

After probably 50 hours of farming in the last month I have yet to come across an Elite Tome, I do however find regular Tomes on a daily basis (we're talking maybe 1-3 per run). It's really kinda annoying.

Do a few z-quests and buy them from the zaishen traders
Probably the fastest way to get them (except for buying them from other players)

Probably more, but if you do the Z-Quests daily and don't buy other stuff with the coins, you'll probably have more than enough

nice math.
1 gold = 10 silver, so naturally,
2 gold = 30 silver.

Your odds of Elite Tomes are substantially greater if you just ran HM chests. Farming bosses for Elite Tomes is not ideal. You're wasting your time.

are you in a party of 8,
with like henchies and heroes?
or are you solo farming?
either way, if thats how the drop is, your better off doing something else to get elite tomes.

Solo farming with my 55 necro.
I'm opened about 200 hm chests so far when working on title not even single tome dropped only junk and i don't need to pay over 1 plat everytime i'm run to boss, i'm used to farm elite tomes on bosses with easy but that was about 2 years ago before my break....

This or the post below about the Z-coins is your most time efficient way. Lately I have been averaging an elite tome every 1 of 10 chests in HM. I have never had good luck with tomes by boss farming. I have better luck at the green items than tomes. On most occasions if I really want a tome I will get it through z-coins.

Just accept the fact that they won't drop for you and then they will start dropping
