Elite Tome Farms

I'm trying to make a 1 minute (abouts) or less video (realtime speed) of Elite tome farms for every profession. Call it a documentary of sorts. The only focus is farming Elite Tomes for any profession quickly. A very positive coincidence is that a couple of these actually drop greens with a respectable resale value. So without further adue, here is what i have so far. Enjoy.

Ritualist
Tomton Spiriteater: Just outside Asponwood Gate (Luxon)
Time: 61 Seconds
Build: Shadow Form A/E
Video

Elementalist
Exuro Flatus: Just outside the Gate of Madness.
Time: 64 Seconds
Build: 135hp Elementalist/Monk
Video

Necromancer
Sessk, Woe Spreader: Just outside Eredon Terrace.
Time: 55 Seconds
Build: Perma Shadow Form A/E
Video

Assassin
Tahkayun Tsi: Just outside Ran Musu Gardens.
Time: 35 Seconds
Build: Perma Shadow Form A/E
Video

Monk
The Scar Eater: Just outside Vasburg Armory
Time: 42 Seconds
Build: Shadow Form A/E
Video

If you have a run that is about a minute or less for Elite Tomes of a profession I do not yet have, please PM me the location and I will make a video pronto.
I'll be updating this post (not replying, just editing) with the new ones as i make them. They will all be available here as well.

Worth noting is that I have utilized this thread heavily for finding farm locations.

Nice guide, but for elite sin tomes wouldn't Rekoff Broodmother be a more viable option?

Paragon, try the dood right outside one of the zones in vabbi... hes with a bunch of cobalt. Cant remember his name, hes in the fat princes palace's zone.

55/SV could probably do him, actually just about anything could do him.

Dervish... the one in gate of pain. Use a permaform with sliver, as long as you bring some self heal/damage reduction to survive the untargetted aoe's it should work. Cant be certain though.

Ranger... chkkr or zelnehlun basically anything.


Ritualist... try the construct outside kurzick unwaking waters. Probably 55/SV would work best.

Warrior... try the Lyssa in eotn. I think hes just in a large cave with other warriors... dunno how far in it is, but if you can get there its an easy farm. If not that, then the mountain troll boss perhaps.

Mesmer... perhaps the migraine boss outside rata sum. Maybe not 1 minute, but its not 2 far away. A/E should be able to do it.

Thanks Nice Job now just getting my Sin to Eredon Terrace to try the necro farm not to mention thats one of my favorite hero weapons

It's not under 1 min but Modti Darkflower is an easy run and a quick kill for a perma with Sliver armour. I got 2 Elite Necro tomes today and his green.

Elementalist - Sunneh Stormbringer Plains of Jarin. you can 55 it iirc.

For rit you might try Tomton, I'm able to kill him in under two minutes from entering the zone.

Thought I'd mention this, (even though it's not a 1 min farm), If you leave from armory (I usually grab kurz blessing when I'm there) you can go kill The Scar eater, as earlier mentioned, then go for the ele (Wiseroot Shatterstone), mesmer (The Time Eater), Ritualist (Flower Spiritgarden) and then another monk (Jayne Forestlight). This is all done by perma using sliver. I usually do this for the faction though, since hfff is boring and I find this farm a bit fun.. it usually takes around 10-15 mins (depends if you know the run).

dont forget Byzzr Wingmender outside Lutgardis - anything can farm this with empathy, diversion and spirit shackles

Dunno reason to dup info but... go ahead.

I havent tried after the (stupid) -33% damage but i think that there are faster elementalist & necro.

Maybe there's some ritualist fast killable... but slower than Tomtom

Another monk (maybe faster) is Keshel the Voracious

55 necroing is uber fast. Maybe <1 min too.

By the way, fastest time depends on skills to. IMO you should post template code too.

Right now i'm focusing on just getting 1 for each profession. People can figure out their own best builds to farm with. As fast as some of these runs are, they are only my 2nd encounters with each boss. I look up where they are on wiki and here, i use a perma sliver build to find their exact position + try to farm them once. Then i go back to town, tweak the build for the boss at hand, video the run, and upload the video.

I'm not under any illusions that I'm using the fastest builds or even the best..... I don't even have any PvE titles above r7 on my sin.

Then you miss:

second link is most accurate and imho contains most info, please refer to those... it's all been said already, and gl on the video. i belive it'll help alot once you put all the quick farms into one.

Thx

I feel that Byzrr Wingmender is a faster run than The Scar Eater.

you can silver form suneh stormbringer too
standard A/E silver form

Even with your A/E it can be killed if aggro correctly.

And yes, that's the way to farm (or making this sort, better said), go study, do it better and show it. Still dont get your point, but info is great no matters where it comes from. Rual, Stealer of Hope is almost as fast to kill...
