Yeah, I pretty much got what it is, the chest runs, but exactly, what do you do? lmao. Get a party, and run around in FoW for chests, correct? I was just wondering, because I need to know the skills. Someone told me, basically just Sprint and charge, which I have. And I do want to do a chest run. So, yeah if someone could exactly, explain. I would be very happy. ^_^ Thanks. Yeah, I'm slow. Rofl.

everyone just runs together in a group, keeping charge up and sprinting and stuff. i've never done a FoW chest run, but i do nahpui and raisu runs.
basically just max out tactics, get 8 into healing if you want to bring mending, get strength up as high as you can, doesnt matter too much.
the skills i like to bring are somethin like:
sprint
charge
balanced/disciplined/defensive stance
healing sig
endure pain
purge conditions (anything that removes conditions)
holy veil/smite hex/remove curse (anything that removes hexes)
mending if you want to

if you dont want mending, dont like it, you can put w/e you feel needs to be there. some people bring a res sig or somethin, but i dont. usually if a person dies and you have to stop to res them while there's still monsters smacking you, you two guys are kinda screwed.

im no expert at this, that's just what i use and it works well. experienced people feel free to add/change somethin if i missed.

mending for chest running=waste of a slot

charge
sprint
balanced stance
heal sig
endure pain
purge condition
remove hex
another heal spell (mind blank, cant remember the name)

thats what i used..worked for me and thats all that matters

try the builds section for various set ups

EDIT: if you are completely new to chest running FoW isnt the best place to start..if you have chapter1 try running port sledge for a little while its the easiest chest run possible in the high end areas and you have 2-3 chests per run

average run takes a couple minutes..use the run build i posted and you wil be fine

well the good thing about FOW is the cost is only 125g if you get in "group run" So what i did was join a few groups and "learn" how run and know the area.

that's how i learned. can't really type it or spoon food you the run. for 125g and a few run you should get the ideal of the basic skills needed.

**edit** doooh thanks EiS...

Just to say its 125 gold not 150
