hey, i just came back and i want to start chestrunning for SWS again (in Tasca's), i used to do that a long time ago, but i lost all builds, so i was wondering if any1 could give me some advice for running there. I know every1 want to see some SWS pop up

Im not sure about Tasca's Demise running, but I could recommend my SWS run

Picked a few up from there when I feel like running it, but nothing usable yet. Its quick and casual, but sometimes you can get a no chest run, but very rarely. Just use a standard Shadow Form build really.

Ive been running this, Hells and Raisu Palace recently. Might do something crazy like 500+ Dry Top runs for some q8 Long Sword action

Yellow dots are basically the chests with most likely hood to spawn, green spawn some times, and blue ones spawn hardly ever and are very unlikely to even be stone summit chests.

Each run is about 2-2:30~ mins and quite straight forward. I do it in NM, and tried it in HM, but wow, it really was hard haha xD

Get some good drops, and for me, awesome retain rate!

Im mainly doing this run in the hopes of a lovely oldschool Warlord Shield, but my hopes arent that high

I hope you like it!

Magentis · Sep 07, 2013, 04:24 PM // 16:24

Unfortunately not :/
Both q9

DF & Spawn but single modded

Wika Sham · Sep 08, 2013, 01:18 AM // 01:18

Anyone know of a good/better run for Kurzick shields besides Melandru's Hope?

sun strike · Sep 08, 2013, 07:46 PM // 19:46

pongmei has always been the best place to get echovald related items.

jague · Sep 09, 2013, 11:48 AM // 11:48

Any1 has some crazy *ss hero builds that would make Tasca's HM a little easier?

sun strike · Sep 09, 2013, 07:46 PM // 19:46

tascas is one of those areas where you won't get much breathing space due to the compactness.

i remember 8 wamos running that area back in the day with the titan quest.

a bunch of prot skills with fallbacks/incoming etc should be the best way.

Magentis · Sep 21, 2013, 03:18 PM // 15:18

Best drops so far today

Amber's Merch Stuff :/

just got another purple echovald shield from the same chest... fml

mocilo74 · Nov 01, 2013, 06:53 AM // 06:53

I found my first golden Echovaldshield yesterday in a chest. Unfortunately req13 and single mod. But a few hours later I was farming with my 55 necro and got a nice oldschool Healing Ankh req 9 dualmod +58 while hexed and +1 healing spells 19%. At least two usable mods on one item.

Shame they are 3 points off.

And I found some nice low req dualmod max Forbidden Staffs while chest running Raisu. But only wiered combinations.

Eronia · Nov 02, 2013, 11:32 PM // 23:32

If anyone wants to go throw some LP's with me in Rhea's crater i've been hitting it up trying to get some usable outcast shields.

The best place to get SWS i find is in Icedome. Small area and usually 3+ chest spawns (min 2, max 4) and can be completed under 3 min. The fastest way is to have 2 accounts running simultaneously and use one of them to rezone once your main guy finish running.

I just came back a few weeks ago and did a few runs. Got a usable +1 20% earth/-2 enchanted SWS.

Zephyr of Light · Nov 04, 2013, 07:02 PM // 19:02

I have some questions based also on chest running, mainly for Outcast Shields
Also, i had some nice loots outside the Harvest Temple (chests around outcasts), but are there any more or even efficient(er) place's too farm those kind of Outcast items?.

Rheas Crater is the best place for Outcast's iirc Zeph

If you go out of Seafarers Rest and BIP yourself to death with more Faction points of the towns opposing faction, you will spawn in the middle of the map with like 1-2 chests directly round you. Sometimes you get no chest spawns, but for the most part it works.

jon comgree · Nov 05, 2013, 01:22 PM // 13:22

mods on shields are generated at random, most people believe the same creatures will drop the same type +10vs. im pretty sure most of those mods come from prophecies only, so you are just going to have to chest run harder

Obsidian I · Nov 06, 2013, 10:54 AM // 10:54

Can't wait to get back into chest running again after a long break from gw1. Just curious what was the best place to get dragon staves? I'm pretty certain it was in a Luxor area with some assassin quest?

And for pongmei valley and echo valid forest could somebody kindly link me the maps they use or maps that have already been posted? Highly appreciate it!
