If that would change in future, i'd find it way more weird than a perma-change

But maybe i'm just worring for nothing.

Hi I am currently nearly rank 4 treasure hunter and I haven't done it for a very long time, I was wondering what areas are still good to run on warrior or assassin and may make some decent cash? Or perhaps have a chance at good skinned sellable items e.t.c.

I appreciate if you can link me or something

Well u cant go wrong with pongmei valley, but with ur r3 trasure hunt, i think u have rly low retain % in HM? but i started running there at r4 and im r6 now. Great place. There is few routes how to run it in this thread, few pages back. Sometimes u make big loss in money, but overall from r4 to r6 iv made lots of profit in there. all depends on luck tho.

superraptors · Oct 23, 2011, 01:10 PM // 13:10

personally the places with most returns/skins for time for me:
pongmei (HM) - easy
hell precipice (NM) - easy
shadows passage (HM) - easy
gate of secrets (HM) - easy
gyala hatchery (HM) - medium

here is a list of routes http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...&postcount=628

I've been doing some runs of pongmei hm this morning and last night and for those of you who like numbers:

29 runs, used 92 lockpicks, opened 130 chests, got 60 gold weapons, 32 purple weapons, 7 tomes, 4 elite tomes, 19 gold armors and 8 purple armors.

Nothing special in any of it, mostly merch fodder, nothing I think i'll get anything more than 10k for.

It was HM, rank 4 treasure, rank 1 lucky.

I would have thought I'd have seen some nicer stuff, got mostly jade/amber skins, core skins, I think I got one plagueborn axe (single mod req 13), one gothic axe (purple) and one archaic axe. No shields.

Our Blood · Oct 24, 2011, 02:43 PM // 14:43

you can't realy complain about drops, 130chests is like Méh nothing. There are guys who ran 10k chest and still have jack shit to show for it. I myself ran 2.3k chest now (only run when i'm bored, R3 Lucky, R5 unlucky) and the thing i found that was most valuable is a 20/10 Dragon staff (was like 100k), also found a Single mod demon shield in mid of the hype (sold for 70k)

I also only run Gyala hatch, Pongmei and some withman's folly now and then
- Also i'm in a MQSC guild so we do a lot of Mount Qinkai vq's and drops there are okay, many wands and armors, like two +50hp each month. and MQSC has a Outcast chest that spawns 50% of the time, nice shields and staffs. And the Yeti Chest gave me 2 paper fans already (crap mods)

aspi · Nov 05, 2011, 06:51 PM // 18:51

Yeah there is no explanation besides maybe some bad luck. I got R5 treasure coz I just started doing it, R5 wisdom and got nothing yet. The most valuable thing I got from a chest ever is still a sup viogor which is kinda sad.
But then again after doing lots and lots of Sahrds of orr and froggy dungeon HM I never seen a froggy or a bds drop :/
Friend of mine however who I always VQ with got 3 sup vigors alone in the last week :/

What is the validity of running FoW chests now? I have not done it in quite some time, is it still worth it? Similarly what about thoughts on raisu palace, I remember that being a very hot spot quite a while ago.

Our Blood · Nov 06, 2011, 12:11 AM // 00:11

I don't know anyone who runs FoW chests anymore, don't know why people should run fow chest except for chaos axes maybe?

same for raisu, some people still do it but it's not the fastest way to get 10k chests

Nokkers · Nov 06, 2011, 07:55 AM // 07:55

I want to start chest running on my war, but I'm only R1. What's the best way to work that up?

kermeli · Nov 06, 2011, 03:28 PM // 15:28

getting bored of pongmei.. Whats the best place to run for outcast stuffz? Sry if it has been posted but im too bored to go through lol

Our Blood · Nov 06, 2011, 04:11 PM // 16:11

in Gyala Hatchery spawns a Outcast chest 33,33% of the time (dunno real % but in my exp it does) When start from levitan pits first chest.

on Mount Qinkai, when you run to the beach there is a Outcast chest like half of the times, but pretty hard much dps on the beach.

Boreas Seabed will probably also have an Outcast chest but no clue where they are at.

system.fan · Nov 07, 2011, 12:48 PM // 12:48

rheas crater

its a hard run for chestrunning beginners but like 90%+ of the chests are outcast chests.
got a bunch of staves/shields there so far.
i posted a long run here. theres a short run for only 1 chest in this thread aswell.
just look through last 10 or 15 pages. idk...

kermeli · Nov 13, 2011, 05:09 PM // 17:09

Question: I started running the vermin chest lately, but does paper fan, lantern etc drop from those chest? i think i saw system fan post that he got paper fan from xaquang but was it from vermin or jade brotherhood chest?

Kep · Nov 14, 2011, 03:19 PM // 15:19

Core drops can be looted from any chest in cantha. Core-drops include rare skins like Paper Fan, Jug & Jitte.

So if you chest-run >NM< kaineng city it's still possible to get a gold req8 paper fan/jug/spiked targe/bladed shield etc but extremely rare.

except for plagueborn chests

kermeli · Nov 17, 2011, 05:27 PM // 17:27

ty for clearing that

Another question: Is there any good places to run in proph? like for crude shields or so, they do drop in prohp right

? getting so bored to just run in cantha, and i dont want to run insc items >.<

gw_poster · Nov 17, 2011, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Fun proph run is for magmas in hells precipice. Don't let the frequency of them dropping lull into thinking you'll get a decent one quickly. They drop fairly often for me (say 1:25 chests or so) but I have yet to see a dual-mod one!!!! other than magmas you'll get lots of random core stuff and armors.

Our Blood · Nov 19, 2011, 11:45 PM // 23:45

yeah doing Hells precipice is fun from time to time also Witman's Folly outside of droks, it's just an easy run 2-3chests very fast. Drops aint good sadly..

I also did some chests while VQ'ing in the ascalon area's, and you find some pretty oldskool weaps ^^ (Fds, crude shields, tall shields love that kind of stuff

) But don't know if chest running in these area's is fast/worth it.. Don't even know where chests spawn there

hankey · Nov 20, 2011, 06:34 PM // 18:34

with no afflicted spawn from unwaking waters a run takes 2 mins(less probably) for 1-2 chests, the route is posted some pages back.
edit once again- 1min
