Elite Ele Tomes
Searer
Anyone have a good place to farm these? I'm farming in Skybringer's, but all a got is loads of Skybrigers..... Is the rate of dropping tomes of that boss extremely low?

Elite tome drop rate with any bosses rly rare. its hard farm them and probably ppl wont get loads of em from anyone.. i've soloed loads and loads of boss and sofar only 3 elite tomes. 1 ele 1 war 1 sin..

ive had good luck with stormscale. easy quick run and ive gotten a few from him. and while your in the neighborhood i do woespreader too. i get quite a few off him. i think they drop with regualr frequency. if i farm woe hard for a couple hours i get 2 maybe 3 of them.

Exuro is always easy to farm. So is Lian.

Drop rates don't vary from boss to boss. They are simply extraordinarily low, and on top of that, you may have a streak of bad luck as well.
Exuro, Skybringer, Lian, Flint Touchstone, Zarnas Stonewrath, Elsnil Frigidheart - they're all good and easy candidates. Should you not get the tome, consider selling their greens until you have the 8 or 9k required to buy one from someone else

tome sr really rare indeed usually averaging 0-1 in 1 hour, not worth the time farming for mass tomes like that

The elite tome drop rate is somewhere around 2-3%, so in average you might get one per every 50 rounds. Since an elite ele tome can be bought for 7-8k, your farming run cycle must take less than one minute, end to end, for it to be feasible.

And Byzzr is a monk. this is a common mistake ppl do :
if u have a 2% chance to get smth, doing it 50 times will not guarantee you get it. each try is independent from the other, so the 1000th time you try your chance of getting it is still 2%.

Edit: the expectation value and variance of the probability distribution for N tries can be expressed as N * p and N * (1-p) * p, respectively, where p is the drop probability (as mentioned, around 0.025), which will help you in estimating what is a 'long enough' series.

3 minute run with a shot at both an elite ele and elite monk.
