What are Tome Tactics?

Tome tactics are the blue tactics that players can put into their slots in addition to their Career, and Reknown tactics. These Tome Tactics are for PVE only, and does not have any benefit for PVP (RvR). However the Manly and Greenskin Tactics may benefit players who want additional help killing the NPCS around RvR Objectives. (unconfirmed) These Tome Tactics gives bonuses such as added damage, decreased aggro range, or reduce damage taken from those type of monsters.

Where can I get Tome Tactics?

Tome Tactics are available for purchase from the librarians in the capital cities. Altdorf for Order, and The Inevitable City for Destruction.

How do I unlock Tome Tactics?

To unlock a tome tactic you will have to have multiple tome of knowledge unlocks of a particular type. For example: Greenskin Tome Tactics will require you to get multiple Greenskin tactic unlocks. Also there are three levels of each type of Tome Tactics. There is no order in which you need to unlock these, as long as you unlock a certain amount in your tome of knowledge. (For example Manly Scheme is unlocked after performing any two items in the list, to unlock Manly Strategy you will need to unlock four items in the list)

Note: Some of these will be for either Order (O) or Destruction (D) only, and will be noted with (O) or (D)
