In light of the upcoming Triple Chest Rewards. I thought I might try my hand at Chest Running. Unfortunately, don't have much time to devote to gaming, and as such, I have only two characters in high end areas.

Warrior anywhere in Prophecies
Elementalist anywhere in Nightfall

Anyone have some suggestions? I saw a post a bit back about Abaddon's Mouth run, but no build was posted. Guess I'll throw in some H/H and see what happens eh?

Just use the standard SF running build, with dash and dark escape and then 3 warrior heroes with speed boosts. It's a pretty easy run once you get to know the spawn points.

Boreal station rocks,
I run avg1-3 chests, NM and get 3 drunk min in a (1.5 - 2) min run

I use
[Shadow Form][Dwarven Stability][Drunken Master] and various other skills for self heal or whatever.

Start outside of station, Drink lvl 5 alcohol,
1)Use Druken Master - You dont need the double bonus time for the stances from dwarven but you need it for the knockdowns from the aloes.
2)As soon as druken master recharges, use it again, it is your timer to know when to /resign.
3) the shadow form is for getting to the chests that spawn in the baddies (pinesols, and avalanche)

As soon as your second casting of Druken master has hit the 30 sec recharge mark you should be close to finishing the run and you can resign and receive the last 2 minutes of you drunk points.

I have done this for about 12 hours of game time and have received slightly less than double that for drunk time.

IGN ->Puddin Cheeks I'll show you my route if you have never done it. It really isnt complicated because you cant really go the wrong way.

Hard Title if you dont have much time for it .... anyway , one of the best places for me is Lyssas Mirror NM. Just 2 or 3 running skills , "i am the strongest" and 1 hex removal or 2 if you like. If played wisely you almost never have to face foes nor use hex removal ... ONLY against those Annoying behemots.
Its 5 chests on 7-10 min , even less with a perma sin .

I am practicaly living at boreal station at the moment Running with hench/heroes using charge on my heroes and getting pretty decent chest drops in hard mode but my oh my is it boring doing chest running

In under 2 minutes (Slow Run) there is usually 1 or 2 chests from the start of the worms to the pinesouls, just resign and repeat as soon as you get to the pinesouls, it's faster in my opinion...

I actually like having the cooldown times between running sessions while im selling the good mods and what few good skin weapons I got. I am only good for 200-300 chests before i have to do something else for a little while (2-3 days).

sometimes i just jump on my perma and enter Imperial sanctum.
just run past Kunna and to the left in about a min i can get 1-3 chests as 6 spawn points are close by, but if i get the the fist spot and no chest i just resign and rinse and repeat.

i am almost turning positive money out of NM chest running from Boreal Station. Mods and some q9 skins get some money back, but the kicker is "measure for measure". Use it wisely and you'll almost break even from materials

When i have been into the divine path the chests have always spawned randomly but luckily the area is pretty straight forward so i just run through for 2 or 3 minutes and then restart...

Boreal Station get nerfed latest patch? Just ran it 19 times, 8 of them dry runs (no chests). That's running full 1:30-2:00 to the 3rd shrine.

I've done this in the past, for hours at a time. I'd get a dry run every 8 or 9 runs typically. Sometimes 2-3 dry runs in a short span of 4-6.

But never half of them out of a large number of runs. Anyone else seeing this? Seems kinda lame to me, if indeed a nerf.
