Never had a more profitable and enjoyable chest run

As of the 28th it is no more. Time to find a new one.

Could you explain this a bit more? Have they removed the chests or made monsters spawn by them or done something else? I am at work right now so can't check for myself.

I only found this run two days ago! Waaaaaa!!!!!

LowSun · Jun 29, 2006, 11:15 AM // 11:15

chests no longer spawn.

What was so good about eternal grove chest farming? did you do the mission, or the exporable area?

Hengis · Jun 29, 2006, 11:41 AM // 11:41

The run was as follows:

Enter Eternal Grove mission solo. Go right out of gates, run in an anti-clockwise direction along path behind monster spawns.

The run spawned one, two or three chests that you could open in about three minutes if you had running skills onboard.

I didn't find it particularly profitable (I about broke even on 40 keys), but it was a simple way to progress the Treasure Hunter/Seeker of Wisdom title.

Guess I am looking for a new chest run now :-(

what was so good there? 60-80 chest per hour with NO MOBS on the way EVER.
i opened 1000 chests there then moved to another location. drops were not that good in grove.

i truly hope they nerf the ff there. less ff = less chests opened = better drops

Well My Chest Run area was not nerfed. Ran it twice this morning just to check.

2 runs

10 chests

6 golds

WOOT!!

LowSun · Jun 29, 2006, 01:31 PM // 13:31

I must have ran over 2000 keys in Grove and made just under 3 mill off the items. It was definitely hot. gonna miss the easy income.

Wildi · Jun 29, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

removing chests is just wrong and chest runs are not even profitable for 80% of the people, good job with nerfing everything

Arya Nibelrund · Jun 29, 2006, 01:50 PM // 13:50

I don't really see why it should be that easy to open a chest....happy to know it's been changed. Good job Anet.

Grove was never the best place to farm chests anyways imo.

the first 2 days everychest run was much better then now. grove wasn't the best... got 10 r8 15^50 assorted gothics weapons in 2 days in melandru back in april

BogusDude · Jun 29, 2006, 05:27 PM // 17:27

Yeh i got a few nice +5 energy weaps there. But i always map back as soon as i get a gold so i found it profitable, 90% weaps to merchant, sell a few and break even np.

moko · Jun 29, 2006, 05:41 PM // 17:41

and i was about to buy 300 keys and get my next title. thank god i read this :I oh well, will have to check other mentioned spots now

maybe go back to luxon area..hmm...*mumbles*

it was too easy to farm there, but on the other side, all my drops sucked. :P oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Blind Rage · Jun 30, 2006, 02:15 PM // 14:15

Well yeah, during the first few days I got huge golds including a nice max gemstone axe (which paid for my chestruns for a long, long time), but Drazach/Melandru overtook it very quickly.

Akhilleus · Jun 30, 2006, 03:34 PM // 15:34

just one more reason i never relied on chest farming for my income.
