I know who you're talking about

. he was in our alliance shortly after we "developed" this run - we didn't invent it, but added some details to make it fast and save. This guy described his "light"-version of our run - there're some more chests he didn't mention.

so silent surf is the best and much faster run for them imo

I've tried Archipelagos for some time, but didn't find a good route.

Gyala hatchery is probably the best chest run in the jade sea that yields consistent items,

usually atleast 1 chest of every type of creature.

outcast, oni, naga, jade sea creatures

Pleikki · Jul 02, 2015, 11:47 AM // 11:47

i used run Gyala but i the drops started suck or i felt there never were outcast chests ;D

I love running From leviathan pits to silent surf. usually 1-2 jellyfish chest, 1-2 outcast and 1-2 plagueborn, and other jade sea creatures. drops quite alot jelly and fast if u go just for em

Hey guys, i was doing some hells precipice runs, when i got a raven staff out of a chest. It wasn't directly a titan-chest - it was in the middle of the mission, where lich spawns. The chest was inside of a lava-"pond", so it wasn't surrounded by titans, actually there were any foes around it....

Does every chest in hells pricipice drop ravens or just some specific?

Pleikki · Aug 03, 2015, 01:51 PM // 13:51

Every chest in shiverpeak/fire island drop ravens, Except ones surrounded by mursaat or white mantle

" Southern Shiverpeaks and Ring of Fire Islands
Random drop; however, it does not drop from Mursaat (with the exception of Jade Armor and Jade Bow) nor White Mantle."

pretty much a core drop in proph.

Ill Rabbit Ill · Aug 07, 2015, 09:12 PM // 21:12

I've searched this Post and I cant seem to see this question brought up. I'm New to chest running so apologize for my stupidity. Is there a difference in drops when doing Hells Precipice in HM to NM???

Pleikki · Aug 08, 2015, 05:10 AM // 05:10

Theres only difference of change for gold drops. in HM u get probably 3/4 drops gold and nm around 1/4 golds or someting like that

superraptors · Aug 08, 2015, 11:20 AM // 11:20

its much easier to run hells in NM, if you find it too hard to run it in HM just practice on NM till you get confident. the gold drop rate isn't that terrible in NM, probably 40-60% of the drops are gold and rest purples usually.

Tundra · Aug 08, 2015, 08:22 PM // 20:22

Hey, I believe if anyone can help me, its the people in this topic! Where can I get Bo staffs? I really like the skin and I want to equip some of my chars and/or heroes. I read in wiki, that Minister Cho's Estate HM would be a place to drop them, but i've done 2 runs there and had no success, had one grape, but that does not count. Maybe you have ideas where to look for them gold drops.

Minimized Rook · Aug 11, 2015, 04:04 PM // 16:04

Hi! I've been running Pongmei for a good while but I'm getting bored of it.
I've run some Ice Cliff Chasms now, but that run is mindnumbingly boring and doesn't yield much worth keeping.

I'm looking for chestrunning maps like this one
Can anyone direct me to a bunch of them please? I'd be very happy

Pleikki · Aug 11, 2015, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Minimized look few pages before and theres quite many route maps

Tundra bo staffs are rly rare drops so you will be in trouble trying find em

Chesting near am fah / jade brotherhood is good and some WoC quests drop them quite alot

Minimized Rook · Aug 11, 2015, 06:02 PM // 18:02

Sweet, found em, thanks

Doing the forum highlands one now.
I read something about a texmod overlay, that would be even better.
This here http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...t10476800.html a good one?
I'll read up on texmod and maybe bring those maps into my own frakenstein texmod, fun project.

Edit: The lux Halycon Job run now, the one where you die and respawn.
Lots of armors! Boy do those touch skills hurt, using can't touch this for it.

Gentleman Xander · Aug 14, 2015, 04:17 PM // 16:17

anyone knows a good spot to get Colossal Picks? I know they are a random drop in the Jade Sea, but it is too random for me... anyone got any luck getting quite a lot of Colossal Picks somewhere?

try mount qinkai... gave me tons of them earlier.
they mostly drop from yeti chests....

system.fan · Aug 18, 2015, 09:27 AM // 09:27

Hey folks,

wasnt online much lately but might come online to chestrun a bit soon.
Anyone got a good and fast run for "Kournan Chests" (NM)?

I'd like to hunt for some req8 inscr swords... (in hope for a q8 tattooed or colossal

)
I did runs @ barbarous shore earlier, but for me the run took to long - i prefer short runs

Thanks & Cheers!

Pleikki · Aug 18, 2015, 10:48 AM // 10:48

Mate posted that few pages before ive never tested it but guess thats worth a try?

system.fan · Aug 18, 2015, 11:41 AM // 11:41

Hey dude,

thanks for the fast reply.
I tried running near rihlon too because I was trying to get req8 shadow shields from the chests near obsidian drakes (quest: drakes on a plain).
For the short run I didn't find chests constantly... And the long run u posted might take too long I think (also there are no foes that drop tattooed/colossal I think)

But I'll give it a try ofc
