Books/Tasks

I've been farming Essence and Honor to purchase the books. The only thing with Honor the book is random any suggestions on farming? Is it worth just saving honor?

Is it worth doing Branch Tasks?

You are probably better off short term getting EoW from Expert maps and using Honour to get the appropriate items for your monsters. Once you have all your Shields and Claws and whatnot then go back to using honour for skill books.
