Best Chest Runs? - Guild Wars Forums

themickman · Jun 21, 2006, 07:15 PM // 19:15

I've started to work on the treasure hunter title, and i was just wondering what place is the best to do this. I have been doing it in luxon territory and has had some success, but i was just wondering what areas, if any, are easier and contain better drops at.

Fissure of Woe in my opinion. but Nahpui Quarter is also ver good for chest running.

fiery · Jun 21, 2006, 07:27 PM // 19:27

I would say the Deep.

tuna-fish_sushi · Jun 21, 2006, 07:29 PM // 19:29

nahpui quarter doesnt work the keys have to cost more then 600 gold per key to get credit for the treasure hunter. The easiest way i see is luxon chests right outside cavalon.

well if your on the kuz side, i do the FF run with chest. solo lately to avoid people screaming at me for runnin to a chest. some people i tell you...

Port Sledge

Zos Shivros Channel is even better than Whitmans Folly for me.

Evilsod · Jun 21, 2006, 10:47 PM // 22:47

Eternal Grove ftw... 2 or 3 chests, 0 enemies. What could be easier?

Sir Skullcrasher · Jun 21, 2006, 11:22 PM // 23:22

My best chest runs have all been in Cantha. I got a 15^50 Celestial Bow, nice Gothic Defender that i sold for good amount of gold and recently got a nice Gothic Dual Axe.

dumahlok · Jun 21, 2006, 11:40 PM // 23:40

Eternal Grove is good but Perdition Rock is the best by far

Vermilion Okeanos · Jun 21, 2006, 11:55 PM // 23:55

No one mention sorrow's furnance?

They drop gold quite often, and also offer a quest that let you pretty much just run all over the place as a slave.

Darkstone's in Pet Rock drop at a ratio of like 9purple:1gold

Port Sledge in Chapter 1... I usually get 2golds per 3-4 chests. though the golds suck.

Grasping Darkness · Jun 22, 2006, 04:51 AM // 04:51

i think shiverpeaks is easiest. i finished 2 titles from chests there yesterday and most items are junk but i did get a sup vig , 10% axe haft and 2 +5 wands out of the 20 something chests. but the chaos of fow runs is way more fun imo

D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E · Jun 22, 2006, 09:25 AM // 09:25

If you're really going for title and not caring for drops, Witmens Folly is nice 2~4 chests a run and my ratio was 1 in 2.089 was gold, before I started chest farming with 2 chars and gave the gold drops to the main title hunter...

It's pretty much a bad market unless you're in cantha and happen to get a good looking skin like there are any... perhaps keep the gold drops for ppl who want to ID them for that other title.

Arkantos · Jun 22, 2006, 09:31 AM // 09:31

I agree that if you dont care about drops witmans is the way to go. If you want rare drops, im guessing naphui quarter, and basically anywhere in kurzick/luxon area. If you have the money, I'd have to say FoW. Also, I heard raisu palace has some nice drops, though I dont think its runnable.

Gonzo · Jun 22, 2006, 10:00 AM // 10:00

Eternal Grove for me, still didn't get a good sellable item after 50 chests though.

Chest running is like gambling. You can spend 500k on keys and get nothing, but you could spend 1.5k on a single key and get rich.

Don Zardeone · Jun 22, 2006, 01:33 PM // 13:33

50 chests is nothing.

You'll maybe start seeing profits after 300 chests.
To me ever key is worth 4.29 times the intial cost of the key itself.
(end profit divided by amount of keys etc...)

What do I do with the money?
Buy more keys...

It's gambling indeed

Seissor · Jun 22, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

Naphui Quarter.
