Post [Project] Grandmaster Treasure Hunter here I come!

I had a very long break from Guild Wars and wanted to start again with a personal project. I'm Treasure Hunter 4 (~1725 opened chests) at the moment and I want to max this and other titles. Maybe I'm lucky enough to get some nice items, but it's not my primary goal.

______________________________________________

Primary Goal:
______________________________________________

- Max Treasure Hunter, Lucky, Unlucky and maybe the wisdom title.

______________________________________________

Secondary Goal:
______________________________________________

- Shield: Tall Shield / Magmas Shield / Guardian of the Hunt
- Axe: Gothic Axe / Gothic Dual Axe
- Sword: Golden Phoenix Blade / Oni Blade / Broad Sword / Gothic Sword
- Hammer: Warhammer (spiked) / Mursaat Hammer / Tetsubo Hammer
- Bow: Hornbow (Mursaat) / Storm Bow / Eternal Bow
- Wand: Platinum Wand
- Staff: Platinum Staff
- Focus: Paper Fan / Holy Vial / Aureate Lamp / Blessed Chalice

INFO: I hope to get some of these items with a decent Requirement (11 or lower) and decent stats (+5 energy / 15>50 / etc. ).

______________________________________________

The only question is where I could do these chestruns (preferably Normal Mode and maybe Hard Mode runs at a later stage of this project). I've read the chestrunners thread and there are already some nice areas which I'll consider, but maybe some of you have other suggestions which could be nice to use a bigger amount of lockpicks.

______________________________________________

Updates:
______________________________________________

- 2899 Opened Chests
- Rank 5 Unlucky / Rank 3 Lucky

Pongmei Valley (HM for max golds) you can get: Tall, GoTH, Gothic axe, Gothic Dual axe, GPB, Broad sword, Gothic sword, Spiked warhammer, tetsubo hammer, platinum wand, platinum staff, Paper fan.

Holy Vial, Aurate lamp + blessed chalice cant help u with as Theyre insc skins no idea where they drop xD

For Magmas shield, Hells precipice or Tascas demise with titan quest,

Oni blade Raisu palace is best location since every chest there may drop oni blades, besides that any areas with Onis

Mursaat hammers and mursaat bows Abaddons mouth mission is good, or outside Marhams grotto (cant remember name of area)

eternal bows only drop from UW and cannot rly be chested

Stormbow you can run FoW for chests but its not worth it imho

Overall Pongmei valley is best location which most ppl prefer run. it drops biggest variety of skins + is easy and fast around 3-4mins for 4-5 chests

Personally when i did the titles i run most of it HM pongmei, and got around same time also max wisdom, luck + unluck so i think its good way max it and get good drops too!

Mirror of Lyss is good for all of these, but anywhere in Vabbi is fine (relatively few armours drop).

Normal mode doesnt count for treasure hunter title since theyre 450g chests. u might get q8 drops normal mode tho, but since ur goal is the title. you shouldnt do Nm

Haha, I've realized that after I used 30 Lockpicks in NM, but I pushed my Luck Title at least a little bit

I also used 60 Lockpicks in HM and the amount of different skins in Pongmei are really great.

here is a hells precipice video on youtube i uploaded a while ago.
https://youtu.be/7s3OQg8OT70

should be able to run hells in 3-4 minutes depending on the chest spawns, usually around 2-3 chests that drop magmas items, occasionally you will get the undead chests near the portals at the end. there is a total of 3 chests that spawns in that mission.

goodluck with ur title.

thanks for posting it below, i am going to repost it again on the chestrunners thread if you dont mind.
