Share your chest farming spots!

Trying to get all the 1250 chests opened, and I'm going pretty fast, and I've got the feeling I'm not going to get a better place to farm chests, but you never know..

I'm currently farming outside Port Sledge with a Mo/W build (you really need Balanced Stance). In a ~2 minute run I get 1-4 chests (mostly 2 or 3), which is very nice. The drops are also decent (if that can differ between different zones), which is important, since those keys are far from cheap. You should try it out!

Thats the best place I know of from the places i've looked. The chests seem to be in nearly the same places every time and if you can keep from getting knocked down you can run all over the place fairly easily.

Snake Dance, mineral springs, ice floe, Perdition Rock, FoW

Malice Black · May 12, 2006, 06:43 PM // 18:43

port sledge is ok but most drops are purple

ice floe is good but chests are spread a fair distant apart and sometimes no chests appear but the drops are far superior to port sledge drops

Whatever has the cheapest keys (that counts towards it) and closest chests seems opitmal. Port Sledge does seem best.

And 1250 is for maxed? Cool.

Well, 1250 does take long.. I can get 70-80 in an hour..

I should really combine this with the Ale thing, but I just payed 300K on keys, and I'm going for the "Kind of a Big Deal" title, and I don't think I'll ever get 10,000 minutes of drunkness anyway

Hehe, the drunkan title costs 2 million gold, even more if there's a third title, but I sure hope not

WOW 300k on keys....

The most I've even had in this game is 45k lol I'm gonna have to build a proper farming char and see what can be done.

Theos · May 12, 2006, 07:18 PM // 19:18

I find it most money efficient to either do the Troll/Avicara solo runs outside droks, where I usually get one-two keys per run, then just open the two chests which usually spawn in/outside the cave.

If you want to do it in Cantha you can go into either Kurzick or Luxon areas, I use Luxon, and solo/team kill the Naga/Overgrowths for their keys and the chests drops are just 10x better than in Tyria... I have way to many platinum swords now.

300K is just the beginning.

1250x750 = 937,600 gold.

Kurzich chests. I'm not rich, and these chests acutally somewhat pay for themselves.

UndeadRoadkill · May 12, 2006, 09:27 PM // 21:27

I don't know what Duel of the houses is like now, but you used to be able to just farm duel for faction and farm chests at the same time. They all spawned right there.

For us poor folk we'll have to wait until the next event that has something like eggnog as a reward and then collect as much as possible.

Start collecting for the next Christmas event now, and you can easily get enough Spiked Eggnogs (even though you still need ~3500

).

I exit east from breaker hollow, archipagelos (sp?). I run past cavalon all the way to east and maybe a bit on the hill.
1-5 chests on average, most purp drops but meh, got some nice drops. Think I've already earned the cost of the keys back by selling the drops. and I'll only go for the first title..

I do that too...you can get about 2 chests by doing the Supplies quest, which gives you some nice xp, Luxon faction, and 150gp which can slowly pay back those keys assuming you dont get drops that are worth over 450gp. Even if you don't donate the Luxon faction, you can always turn them into jade and sell.
