I need some good spots to farm for ritualist and paragon tomes since I'm having an extremely tough time buying them..

Does anyone know some good spots to farm for these?

Thank you.

Monk and Necro you can get from mantids outside of Ran Musu Gardens, or right outside of Shing Jae. If you clear that temple thing in between SJ and minister Chos there's a necro boss also. The Kappas in the same places drop ele tomes (duh). /Agree the Zelnehlun run is the best ranger tome farm.

Thats about the largest concentration of farmable eles I can find thus far. There's a good 45 of them and the runs take from 6 to 12 minutes, usually netting 1 or 2 per run....which aint too bad, but the golds make it worthwhile.

As for monk tomes, the best place i have found to farm monk tomes is actually smites in the UW. I usually duo it 600rit/smiter so the runs are pretty fast. Usually get on average about 1 per run (slightly less)....course, ectos are a nice bonus.

Ranger tomes drop quite well from the undead outside Bergen Hot Springs, simple SS build and hide behind the buildings there makes that easy for just about any char class. Ive farmed for them with my Ranger without any problem, bonuses are gold dead bows, various runes and lots of Orr Emblems for Wintersday.

Dr Dimento: GZ on the vid, used that last night, dont seem to clear nearly as quick as you but made approx 10k easy plus 2 tomes and various golds so thanks!

Yes, because in GW:EN are only locked chests, they need lockpicks ---> the dropped key will be a lp. (with lower chanses i think), so its normal. But tomes don't drop in NM

I've gotten a fair amount of rit tomes doing Nahpui solo as 55 mo/nec with sv and vamp gaze I've been unable to farm it solo with my 55 nec in HM simply due to nm weapon. I have found that they tend to cast less when i keep the star light at range, but killing it quickly is key i guess. I mostly just run people through it in NM with my solo earth ele.........which when charging 4k a peice nets me 12k in about 13 minutes + feathers.

Pretty easy to just buy the rit tomes when u make that kind of dough!

Dr. Dimento, could you post the build you used, if i blew the vid up enough to see the skill icons it was too blurry and if i zoomed out so they were clear they were too small to see.

Thanks
