Default Elite Tome Farming

So I've been trying to stockpile a whole bunch of tomes (elite + non-elite) for every profession because I hate spending 30+ minutes trying to find someone selling the tomes that I need.

So far, I've found farming spots for Elite Necro, Elite Ranger and Elite Ele tomes that only take around 5-10 minutes per run.

The first run is right outside Rilohn Refuge. Using Sab's 3 necro build, Herta, Cynn and the 2 healer monks, I flag the heroes into the mob of great beasts before Terob Roundback and get them to kill him. Once they are dead, I flag them into the other mob of beasts in front of Zelnehlun's spawn point. Once the first mob is dead I proceed to own Terob Roundback.

I use the E/A Green Farmer build and it works perfectly -- as long as there are no Blue Tongue Hekets. If there are, map back into Rilohn and try again. You have almost no chance of killing him in time before shadow form runs out.

For Zelnehlun, same applies really, run in and spawn the boss, run out quickly. Wait for them all to gather, and own him.

I've also tried Chor The Bladed, with limited success, managed to kill him once.. Lunto Sharpfoot is out of the question, and Dabineh Deathbringer can be done with relative ease, as long as there are no healers.

Anyway. I'm just wondering if anyone else has any easy bosses that are preferably right outside outposts that can be farmed with 55 Mo/N (SV) or E/A green farmer.

Oh, and the Ranger/Ele farm is Johon -> Elsnil Frigidheart in Ice Cliff Chasms. Easy run. I can only do that one on my 55 SV monk though.

Cheers, and sorry if this doesn't make much sense, my brain is all over the place atm..

2. http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Build:A/E_Solo_Green_Farmer


They are basicaly a copy of each other E/A and A/E but alot of the details are slightly different for the different professions damage output and shadow form duration but those two links helped me alot and now i have tomes, tomes, tomes.

This also works too though http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ght=elite+tome

I'll tell you what I use.


For Rit, Tomton Spiriteater
For Warrior, Chor
For Monk, Scar Eater
For Ele, Skybringer
For mesmer, cloudbringer
For Assassin, the guy just south of Chor (Forgot his name)
For Ranger, Zelnehluh (or whatever his name was)
For Necro, Terob

I don't have use for the derv or paragon professions, so I can't help you there.



I use E/A btw

Killed him around 150 times last week, never dropped an elite tome. Well, atleast I got a decent staff for monk heroes on several characters.
