Did you buy Elite Tome for your Character
kumiel
Just finished off Legendary Skill Hunter on my elementalist... 0 elite tomes used to date. It takes so little effort to run out and capture a skill, most can be done in under 10 minutes. And elite tomes are so expensive that it just doesn't make sense for me to use them. However, farming and selling elite tomes is another question... big profit to be made

MindBlast at Lvl5 *cough* What tomes? 
Yes I did not much tho

Nope - I like gold more!
That is IF I'd do HM so that I could possibly get them ...

I wanted to buy a Necro tome to learn jagged bones, but then I realize that I prefer to lose 20min and 1k than to lose 10k and the time to find a "normal" buyer.
When I created my sin <3 I got her an elite tome (by killing a boss in HM while farming and I got it on the first try ^^), but I didn't know what to get. And now she's level 20 and I still have that tome, so I think I will sell it xD.

I bought a Warrior Elite tome for my necro for the Skill Hunter title. I needed Quivering Blade and wanted to keep the Am Fah my friends.
I think I bought a Dervish Elite for a Dervish I made to run my other account places, but not sure about that.

I have all Elites on my Ele, (main character), which I capped.
I’m currently working on the Skill Hunter Titles and again am capping them. Some of my Guild/Alliance friends have given me a few to help out towards the Titles.

Helps for skill title if you want to cap something that is completely ridiculous. Like feast of corruption. Saves a hell of a lot of time that farmed gold can pay for instead of doing it yourself.
zwei2stein
Nah, its pointless. Only few elites are pain to cap where you actually save money getting that skill from tome.
Even FoC is better capped personally as that trip gets your to area where you would have to go anyway with your title hunter character because you need to map that area and its best done while you are doing something else .(multitasking, FTW!), add opening some chests on your way there, get loot drops and thus it ends up being okay trip.

The other classic is forgetting to change your secondary to the right prof (which I also did a few times)

Buy them? No
Use them if they drop for me? Depends on the profession of course, and if I really need that one elite. Otherwise, I sell it
(or try to sell it -.-)

When I find elite tomes on put them on the auction here for about 2-3k less than everone else, just to move them out of my inventory. I hold on to regulars until I see in Party search looking for them. I thought about doing a 55 monk to farm since my paragon cannot, but getting it to the point one needs, takes time away from my paragon.

I only buy signets of capture. I'm not going to pay 5-12k for something I can get for 1k.
macke
Ye, i have some cash to spare and i run CR so i use them and buy, whenever i can for Skill hunter title 
garethporlest18
Nope I haven't yet. I only have 1 character under level 20 though and I'm too cheap to spend 10k.
quickmonty
I sell tomes. Have LSH on one character on each account. Used cap sigs to get them all.
Tutis Evito
Nope, never, I just go and cap the skill, or get some Balth factions to unlock to hero's...
Used a few standard tomes which i have picked up myself, but never bought them, dont really see the point

take_me
Definitely worth. I bought several.
1 for my Warrior who has never been to Factions but needed Vegeful was Khanei, which is quite far in the Jade sea....
2 for my Monk (55 and 600)
1 for my Ele to finish my Legendary title whenever I wanted^^
etc^^
Side note: I once sold a normal monk tome for 2,5k

For some elites Yeah like if i got some char and dont wanna play nf with it and elite is in realm of torment i use tome.
Proff
For my main character i didnt because well by the time I could afford I either already had the skill or could cap it in a couple minutes. As for my other characters if the skills close to the end of the game and i dont feel like beating everything up to it I buy an elite tome to save time.
nebuchanezzar
No.
But I sell them =].

| 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? |

Numa Pompilius
Never bought an elite tome. Sold a few, though.
Longasc
I bought one right after they were released. I thought they unlock all elite skils that I already unlocked for that char...^^
Rydia Merchan
I bought one because I was too lazy to play my mesmer though NF and she needed Enchanter's Conundrum for GVG. Otherwise, I sell them or give them to Guildies.
Desbreko
I've never bothered buying any elite tomes but I did use an elite mesmer tome I got as a drop to have my mesmer learn Ineptitude. I usually prefer to go cap elites unless they're in really annoying or out of the way places, as with Ineptitude.
Um Yeah
I bought a necro one because at the time, FoC was the last elite I needed for Tyrian Skill Hunter and I really didn't feel like going all the way up snake dance to get it. About 6 months later, I ended up deciding to get Tyrian Cartographer and had to go up there anyway...
kazjun
No. But then again I only really play one character nowadays and he's finished all campaigns so it's not that much effort to map travel to where ever the boss is nearest.
The Little Viking
havent bought a single tome..but i have sold more then my fair share. I got all eletes the hard way. all 3 campaigns.
Dallcingi
I got one for my monk for soj cause i tried to farm survivor but it died... lol. and i got another for LoD so i could get into pugs but then lod got nerfed a week later QQ
sagilltwins
Yup SoJ for my monk
ZenRgy
I haven't for my main character, but for others - I have. eg. Shadow Prison (pre-nerf).
Kerwyn Nasilan
I have only one skill I plan on using a tome on and that is Feast Of Curruption for my skill capper. No way I'm looking for that damn boss anymore.

but yeah, if u have the money to burn, just use the tome for FoC, or whatever skill that's pain to cap.
FengShuiDove
I tomed AoG on my Dervish the other day just because he's not too far into NF but is maxed and capable of PvP, so I took him to GvG with my guild. Ordinarily no, but as I get more money and cap skills for Skill Hunter on my primary thus unlocking them, it does become more tempting.
Dronte
I've got legendary skill hunter on my warrior, got ~2 elites with tomes.
Imo elite tomes are useful if you need a skill that is hard to cap, but its lame to get all the elites by tomes (even the easy ones)

I got legendary skill hunter on my ele before the tomes were even released
