Best way to farm tomes of knowledge?

[StuckHat.8061]

I sadly had the bad habit of cashing out my tomes for spirit shards and now I have a sudden need for 100 in order to get Transcendence. I was wondering if there was any more efficient ways of gaining them beyond reward tracks in PvP/WvW?

I can't think of a better source of tomes of knowledge other thanWvW, just use your exp boosters, and follow groups for best exp, You'll get 1 for each WvW rank + the ones you get from the tracks. Maybe consider buying the 5 ranks a week if you have skirmish tickets to spare.

  PvP. Not even close. The main difference with WvW will be that you will progress and get tomes even if you lose 100% of the matches, whereas in WvW the progress can be much slower if you are in a group which is constantly wiped or if you're constatly farmed by gankers.

Problem with SPvP vs WvW is dealing with all the toxicity in SPvP. WvW is far less toxic, especially for a casual player who's not interested in the pvp gamemodes.

  Close the in game chat and problem solved. The only reason why WvW is "less toxic" is because the game mode doesn't able players to directly comunicate outside their own server (and event between players from the same servers, sometimes there's frictions). I don'r even understand why the chat isn't disabled for default in PvP: you can't play in a squad outside Automated Tournaments and the game doesn't support voip, nor playing with frieds outside duos. So if you can't form your team, and you'll be with randoms, why don't just diable the chat? It won't affect the quality at all (probably would improve, since people wouldn't waste time and eforts being salty in the chat).
