Thanks a lot system.fan! Once I've maxed Treasure Hunter (at 6K now), I'll have to do few 100K more Lucky points to max Lucky too. This will help me out

(was scared of Ascalon Foothills already, that area really creeps me out :S).

is there any sense in asking that

Asking and waiting for answers = some hours...
Running and trying yourself = some minutes if you cant find the outpost and run without skills

run takes less than 1minute if you take running skills and maybe hero's with fall back...

There is sense is asking because if this run is faster than my current run, and yields better drops then i might switch to it.

Only an idiot would not run while waiting for an answer so... ya

So thanks for the answer of saying around 1 min making 1 chest not worth my time

Calm down! Why do people insist on being so hostile when they can be anonymous on the internet. Why not make yourself useful and share your run instead?

Hey, after the nerf I could no longer do my usual chest run so now I am looking for a new one.
Rather one that you run i HM then NM.

So plz share

What did you run before? Are you going for drops or points?

I used to run The Undercity and mostly for points.

Atro · Mar 27, 2010, 12:39 AM // 00:39

i do some chestrunning in Xanquang Skyway near the Vermin, I get a lot of Celestial items and Cockatrice staves.

ive only tested this out with a sin, with this build,

shroud of distress
glyph of swiftness
shadow form
way of perfection
shadow sanctuary
deaths charge
i am unstoppable
dark escape

the build takes a while to get used to

good luck all

system.fan · Mar 27, 2010, 08:24 AM // 08:24

Finished my Unlucky Title two days ago....

Will now start with last 400k lucky points.... so if anyone could post another run id be rly happy =)
I like the run i posted but of course its rly rly boring only doing one and the same run the whole day

For normal Chestrunning

I'd use "ElementalShadow's" Build but i'd change some Skills...
Glyphe of Swiftness -> Deadly Paradoxon... Faster Casttime (more energy but you got enough anyway)...
Way of Perfection -> Dash.... 6sec 50% faster to lose aggro ownz -5dm

/E: IaU is pretty useless in most Areas, because only a few War's can knock anyway... and if you can lose aggro with dash u won't be knocked in 99%.... Depending on Area some selfheal would work better i think

Thats the Build i ran with...
And it worked well in Xaquang Skyway, Undercity & Pongmei Valley.... So im pretty sure it works elsewhere if you're used to the skills

I do the port sledge run, I use (shadow form, i am unstoppable, shadow of haste, dash, heart of shadow, shadow refuge, deaths charge, and pious haste as a D/A).There are always three chests outside of port sledge and i average usually 1 chest a minute, I took stats for an hour and got 46 chests with a 5 minute break in NM. I retained 33 picks and broke 13 and got 31 purple drops and 15 gold drops. (not that those stats really matter)

It seems to be the fastest run for me. I take paragon heros and a war hero for obvious reasons. (fall back/incoming/charge) and for meat shields xD

If you really pushed it and knew the run well, you could get a chest a minute.

Im not sure if this run has been discussed/guided? (lol) before so i drew up a quick map

The red is where i would go if i saw no chests. The green dots are where i have seen chests spawn there. The blue is the routes i take when i see the chests. For some of them shadow of haste is an obvious help as it saves 15-30 seconds of time.

Obviously if I get 3 chests before i get to other spawn points i stop because there will be no more chests, which saves loads of time too.

Gimme some thoughts/tips if u got any

if linked to witman's folly run.... there are ALWAYS 3 chest... not more, not less....

and because only crap drops most ppl do other runs that are as fast or faster as this one

I've been running this out of Minister Cho's instead of out of the Monastery, since it seems faster. (There is an entrance to the temple right by the portal out of Minister Cho's.)

However, so far I've been finding a chest only about 40% of the time. Nowhere near 90%. I haven't been doing it long enough to have a really good baseline, so perhaps I've just been unlucky. But how certain are you that you aren't overstating the case for this run? What is your typical lucky-points-per-hour, and how does it compare to the pph from the Ascalon Foothills run?

If you start the run from another position the chests are on another position too dude -.-"
The chests are usually spawning as "far" as possible away from the portal you come from... thats the reason why you can't find many chests on the place i showed.

So start from Monastery will give you the 90% for a chest at the place.
Starting from Cho's let's the chest spawn on the other side of the area far away from Cho's portal...

Where did this factoid come from? I'm getting the same results running from there as from Minister Cho's.

Just try in any other area if you don't believe it dude -.-

for example you can see it pretty easy at Rhea's Crater in Cantha...
When you start from Aurio's Mines or Seafarer's Rest there is nearly always (at least 90%) a chest in the North/West Corner near the Monk Boss...
But if you zone through the portal in North West you won't find any chest in the North West Corner in 90%+

Tenebrae · Apr 08, 2010, 01:39 PM // 13:39

I agree with Brett , tried that zone from monastery and no , its not 90% . My estimations are about 60%. Not worth compared with Ascalon Foothills imo.
