Elite Tome Farming 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but well... :p
I just wanted to know if there are some specific spots where you can farm elite warrior (or in general) tomes? got a W/Mo and R/Mo for farming...
Thanks for any answers in advance!

RE: Elite Tome Farming 

Well sense the elite tomes come from Bosses in hard mode id suggest getting a build for farming bosses. Im not sure if i know any really for W/Mo or R/Mo but i know that the Ele/A or A/ele Shadow Form is great boss farmer

RE: Elite Tome Farming 

i sometimes used a Wammo sword build (using Hundred Blades and Vigerous Spirit) as a basis, to farm the stone elementals outside sardelac sanitarium in Prophecies in HM. Its not a fantastic build and there are probably better, but it does work. Plus i believe there's a warrior boss somewhere there too.

Hope that helps a bit

On a slightly hijacking note, could anyone point me to the A/E Shadow Form solo build. Since Wiki wiped their builds i've had trouble finding things. TY all!!

Also at Aztec, you'll now notice that guildwiki has finally gotten a link up for the new build site, it's in the What's New section on the main page. All the old builds are there.

No, they didn't technically delete all the builds but instead moved them. Heres the origonal Link to the solo sin farmer.

RE: Elite Tome Farming 

The easiest bossfarm is byzzr wingmender. In mu signature is a link to the guide i made on that. Replace Insidious Parasite with Reckless Haste though.

Just enter melandrus hope in HM. The total time for the entire run is about 1-2 minutes and easily repeatable. Drops i have had from byzzr:
- elite monk tomes
- FoW passage scrolls
- UW passage scrolls
- regular XP scrolls
- Byzzr Benediction (sellable for about 5k)
- and an occasional gold wand




necromancer all the way

RE: Elite Tome Farming 

I doubt it'll help with farming them but...

All the elite tomes I've gotten have come from Locked Chests. Had a weird tome streak while farming LB/SS points. Got like 8 tomes in a row. 2 elites.

RE: Elite Tome Farming 

The best drop rate for tomes Ive seen so far is during the "show of Force" quest in teh sulforous wastes. This is the quest that people do for SS and LB point farms so there are always groups. YOu can do the run with only 4 people but the more people you get the faster it goes. I found that 6 seemed to be a good balence between drops and speed. Back on to the point eventually you get to a shrine where you fight 3 bosses (can be any combo of ELE, NEcro, and warrior). While doing this I have gotten 2 necro elite tome 1 warrior elite and an ele elite tome. Thre is no partcular build as this is all done using worms so dont need to worry about skill or DP.

Other then that there is a warrior boss just south of Jenner's Horde (Grabthar the Overbearing). YOu should be able to solo him with some build (maybe a touch ranger) not sure as I have never tried my touch ranger in HM.

Good luck farming

I tried soloing him on my touch ranger in NM after killing all the enemies and getting him down to low health and then sending the hench away, and I couldn't do it. He's got a ton of health, plus he hits really hard, I would spam my skills for awhile, not kill him, and be out of energy. He's also got healing signet. I was able to kill him with the GB W/N build though, it just took awhile. I haven't tried on HM.
