i made my first 100k chest running, then a few weeks later i made my first 500k.

at end of the month i was on 700k

then anet nerfed chests, so now i only have 175k left

i say bring back chests that have same type inside them. Just stupid how one person can get a gold and everyone else gets purple

Lets say the average value of a drop from a chest is 200g. That means that each key would give a 400g loss. So for every 100 keys you use you have to make 40k from selling mods/weapons to players. Doesn't sound too hard. You'll probably end up breaking even. Isn't that good enough? You still get the title..

not every key costs 600 gold, most of the end-game keys are way more expensive.

I could be wrong, but wouldn't that mean that you should probably not mass-farm with those keys?

Overall, I don't find the quality of endgame loot, especially with the quantity of people farming there (and thus lowering market prices), to be enough to justify spending 1.5k per key.

Whatever though, you do have a point that running is possible. I just prefer to fight, nothing like getting treasure for power-leveling Melonni.

Nope, warrior/anything 3 run skills a self heal and some defensive stances. all warrior skills. No gimmick builds necessary just some patience and a little brain power.
If you prefere to fight that is great too, you actually might make some cash along the way to buy more keys and with the drops I have been having lately I may have to start fighting jsut to buy more keys

Here's a suggestion: Don't chest run or worry about the title unless you can hypothetically afford 10,000 keys.

Enko · Dec 27, 2006, 08:13 AM // 08:13

many of the titles are pretty much meant to be a money sink anyways.

i don't worry about the 10 000 keys
i have 2500 chests so far and earned about 100k in this way. The problem is that this took about 100 hours and i dont like to spend about 400hours ONLY chestrunning for the title + beeing very busy selling my stuff
(whoot i farm 1k per hour

)

Chest running isnt so hard just go to a area where weapons that are wanted drop and with NF you can slap that 15^50 mod on it and sell it for alot more then with that 15enchanted. Its like the old saying you have to spend money to make money. I havent chest ran in over 4 months but my ranger managed to open 350+ chest in less then a week and made back my key money+ profit. Also my ranger chest running also feed my wisdom title on my necro so it was a double title feeding for me

.
Chest running gives you back alot of mods so try selling the mods in a bunch instead of one by one. Also if your having problems selling the mods just sell them for cheaper then going price and someone usually jumps on it because there greedy side is telling them they can try to make a little profit off it thus getting it off your hand and making it someone elses problem.
