I.E Canthan Chests?

if you go out Dragons Throut, upto the Zone, there always a chets there, in HM it droped Plat weapons and such.

if you go back, from the portal, and run back upto Dragons Throut, theres another Chest by the Afflicted, u get plagueborn weps there.

i reckon the Req8s are coming from them.

Sounds interesting - let us know what you find if you happen to try it.

I'm gonig to run Whitman's Folley aswell, but only if i can find someone that will sell me some keys, lol.

I use this for just about anywhere

, even for HM it can work almost everywhere, the only places that caused me trouble were naphi quarter and certian evlovald forest areas which i can do on my ranger i suppose

Just use escape+fengied for tight spots and your practicly invinsible and sahdow form accually makes you invincible

. Dash is the key skill as its the only one which can make mods break aggro in hm. Dyanas touch is for healing Deaths charge is used to get close to a chest quickly while saving shadow forms duration and shroud acts likes an emergincy defence and extra enhcnatment for touch.

[skill]Shadow Form[/skill] [skill]Dash[/skill] [skill]Dark Escape[/skill] [skill]Feigned Neutrality[/skill] [skill]Dwayna's Touch[/skill] [skill]Featherfoot Grace[/skill][skill]Shroud of Distress[/skill][skill]Death's Charge[/skill]

well here are the places ive made it work in hm

-Haiju lagoon
-Gayla Hatcery , Avoid those pesky sins
-Silent surf , not great though be carful of aggro
-Melandrus hope, Head south to the area with the dredge then take the long route round pat the ranger boss and finally to the asssassin boss, avoid the mesmers.
-Raisu palace, pretty hard but possible with good use of dash.
-Pongmei valley, just watch out for the island guardians mob, make it the last chest.
-Boras seabead, pretty simple, just dont expect to get back from the luxon area alive

-Maishang hills, really easy plenty of unguarded chests

-Reaven heart gloom, just really use shadow form for this
-The desolation, although you use the worm for the majority this is geat for the places you cant take it.
-Its also possible to do vabbi kourna and most of tyria, its just a bit of a waste

Theres better but i just love this builds versitilty and easy usage, and its peetty good if you want to cr without a warrior :P.

Here's my Monk running build...works in a variety of places in NM and HM:

[skill]Spell breaker[/skill][skill]Protective Spirit[/skill][skill]Shield of Absorption[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill][skill]Enchanted Haste[/skill][skill]Harrier's Haste[/skill][skill]Blessed Aura[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill]

Can't remember the exact attribs but it's something like:

12+3+1 Divine
~9 Protection
8 or 9 Earth (depending on NM or HM to combat weakness)
8 or 9 Wind

Again not sure if the attribs add up or not i'm purely guessing (and my templates are all on my home computer).

Cast PS, Mystic, SB, then SoA and Aggro. When SoA is down Mystic should keep you alive.

Lastly I run this with ~400hp and a 20% enchant weapon and 20/20 Divine OH.

P.S. If enchantment removal, lifestealing, and interrupts are not a problem this bar easily adapts to a 55HP build with the appropriate armor switch.

Why Witman's Folly? Is that the best place with most chests?
I always run at the Poisoned Outcrops..

Alien Bobster · Jun 01, 2007, 03:40 PM // 15:40

GREAT! keep up the good work! Still if i shall link to your build at first page, please write 1-2 specific places the build is good at running...

volgaris · Jun 01, 2007, 05:56 PM // 17:56

yea I was wondering with laurson why whitman's? And are you talking hm or nm?

Star Alfur · Jun 01, 2007, 06:25 PM // 18:25

I run Witman's for its speed, which I believe to be unmatched. 3 chests = 2:45 - 3:00 ish minutes on average.

And it's mind numbingly easy, even in HM.

As for drops, the skins are usually garbage, aside from rarely seeing a Fellblade.

In preparation for this weekends chest running, I have decided to try and compile all of the chest running areas I know and the loot you can get.

Ice Floe
My absolute favorite here. You get lots of tomes, armors, and best of all, Mursaat gear. Shadow Form/VoS/Spellbreaker runners mainly, or else you get owned.

Desolation
Many areas here you can run, most commonly poisoned outcrops, or outside the bone palace. Elemental swords, Dead swords, Sephis Axes, Tomes. Outside the bone palace it may be ok to use a charge/sprint tank, escape rangers etc.

Xaquang Skyway
This area is ok if your looking for specific things. Tomes, Cerenellated swords, Koi scepters, Celestial items, cockatrice staves. Nothing too special unless your looking for the celestial. Most decent running builds may work here.

Gyala Hatchery
Honestly I've never run here, but I've heard it mentioned. I assume you get lots of jade weapons. Tomes, Jade Swords, Jade hammers, Iridicent aegisi? Give it a try, i know there are some assassin monsters there.

Hells Precipice
This is a unique run. You run the final mission of Prophecies. Fairly easy run, just watch out for the fire imps on the way there. Spellbreaker monks should work, shadow form runners, Vow of silence. Escape/Charge/Sprint builds do not work well unless you have a really good spawn. Tomes, Sephis Axes, Magmas Shields. Fellblades?

Vabbi
Generally speaking, with Mirror of Lyss being probably the most popular Vabbi run. Its extremely easy, you net Tomes, Jeweled items, Icy/Fiery Blade axes. Not any extremely desirable skins by any means, but an easy quick chest run, with decent drops.

Domain of Anguish
I'm not much of a DoA person, so I rarely go down there, Ive never chest run the area but I assume the following. Elemental swords, Tomes, Sephis Axes, Igneous Blades, Ancient Scythes. I think the best for down there is some type of Spellbreaker/VoS/ShadowForm runner as usual.

Arborstone
Fairly easy run, lots of bleeding and some kd from the wardens, but pretty much any build able to run with ease here. Gothic(kurzick) weapons exist here. Amber items, gothic axes, gothic swords, as well as the usual tomes.

Melandrus Hope
Ah the famous/infamous area for FFF on the kurzick side. Here, mainly same drops as arborstone, gothic items, etc, pretty easy run with a team, lots of hexes and conditions, most normal charge/sprint/escape builds cannot run solo, but have to run with a team.

Witman's Folly
This area can be ran in hardmode by any decent runner build. Its a cinch, and you net an average of 4-6 chests in 3 minutes. The drops out here however are absolute rubbish. OCCASIONAL VERY OCCASIONAL fellblade. Normal skinned longbows, armors, possibly tomes. Dont kno what else is out there cause I never run it.

Fissure of Woe
Honestly I have never been a fan of FoW running because I never got anything good, and it was absoluteley expensive. Shadow bows, Shadow Axes, Shadow Swords, etc, tomes, whatever, 1k entrance fee 1.5k lockpick, broke in a few days.

Underworld
You obviously cannot chest run underworld, but the chests down there drop Tomes, Gloom Shields, StormBows, Eternal Bows, Eternal shields, really nice stuff, but again you cant run it. Look to the W/Rt or the E/Me A/E builds to farm it quickly (roughly 15 minutes)

Hope you guys like my list of areas to run. I tried my best to remember off the top of my head what kind of items you get, the build you need, etc. Please, feel free to correct me if I had made a mistake, just trying to put in a rough sketch before the weekend.

This run can be done with almost any build with a running skill (I made the map using only Enraging Charge), but I'll give you a Warrior build.

Strength: 12+1+1
Tactics: 12+1
Protection Prayers: 3

[skill]Charging Strike[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill][skill]Balanced Stance[/skill][skill]Endure Pain[/skill][skill]Mending Touch[/skill][skill]Healing Signet[/skill][skill]Holy Veil[/skill][skill]Signet of Stamina[/skill]

And the Gold rate is terrible. I would only run this if you are going for Treasure Hunter titles.
