4K Treasure Hunter to go 150k Unlucky. Used to CR a little and now im back out of boredom and getting bored with my old routes. Looking forward to pongmei as well as other places/strategies mentioned here. We used to create txtmods of chest spawns and share them. Do you guys do that and have a forum to share the mods?

anyone got maps in kurzick areas for the chance at skins like echovalds etc?

@ System : With the quest "The Alcyon Job", I opened ~400 chest and only drop 2 purple Bo staves and 0 Dragon staves...
Can Dragons be in chest or only on mobs ?

Someone know a good run for Colossal Pick ?

I've been trying (mostly successfully) this run today and I'm doing ok, but I always die when I get the first chest that's near the cluster of 5 Rot Wollow's and I don't need from the build which skill(s) to use to counter them. Or should I just avoid that chest?

Well, Solution is simple... Load H/H, flag them to run trough that group...

Not rly...
The run is much faster if you do it alone because dumb H/H heal each other and rezz instead of just die where they should =)

1. The Run WITHOUT quest is crap imo anyway... so do it with one of your characters that has the quest^^
2. If you want to do the run without quest for any reason... you just have to practice a bit. The only dmg you get from those Rot Wallow's is vampiric... so Dark Escape won't help you. better try to run through them with dash and maybe some selfheal shadowstep like "Heart of Shadow" or "Death's Charge" ;-)

Sorry, I must be missing something, which quest are you refering to? No quests are listed with your map on post 516.

I thought I had, the only quest mentioned was "the Halcyon Job" in Boreas Seabed. I'm talking about the Pongmei Valley run...unless there's another quest/post I'm missing. There only seems to be three quests in Pongmei that effect spawns, City Under Attack, The Convocation, The Count's Daughter. All three of these quests are from the main storyline.

I'm hoping to get 250 chests a day, so a fast run would be great (50 chests or so an hour...)

Oh, and Wisdom is also somewhat important to me. I'd like to have that max sometime but can just buy from other players if push comes to shove.

Which do you recommened?

Quoting myself from earlier.

I decided to do Boreal station runs in normal mode for the title. Apart from a tiny amount of hard mode runs at the start (maybe 50) to see what it was like, I switched to normal mode and stayed there.
Anyway I got the title on the 28th (one month exactly) and thought i'd share my stats with you guys, to help anyone else decide which run they'd like to do. I recorded my titles progress and the amount of gold I got after each stack of picks used.

Start!

unlucky 21,532
lucky 109,362
elite treasure hunter 3,706

1 stack later

tragic 68,000
lucky 228,000
elite treasure hunter 4516

golden 1,131,362
Grand Master treasure hunter, 10,000

Also:
*My Wisdom title started at 2,693 and ended at 5,003.
*I never bothered salvaging any mods except for perfect for get me nots, which I had five of in the end (sold for 100k). All the cash I earnt as noted above is pure merchant cash. I chose to do this because I cant stand fart arsing around in Kamadan selling mods and wanted to get the title done.
*In all my runs I had quite a lot of triple chest runs, I would recommened anyone to head past the avalanche even if they already have two chests.
*Out of all of my runs there was only one instance where all three chests spawned around the snow wurms/bridge.

Thats about it, I hope it helped! Good luck to you all.

Hi everyone,

I'm in the course of leveling up my treasure hunter/lucky/wisdom titles, not separatly but all of them at a time.

And I need a way with a good Gold spent/time/boredom/quickness ratio.

I'm used to run ( did Poisoned Outcrops a lot of times, snowman folly beforehand, tried ascalon foothills and other 90% chance of finding a chest ).

I have access to every places in Guild wars except a bit in cantha with my warrior. ( i can use my sin or ele toons but i'd rather do it with my warrior )

Anyone has this type of run up the sleeve ? If i'd be to weigh my preferences, i'd do ( on a 100 scale, where 100 is very important ) :
Cheap : 75
Quickness : 66
Boredom : 50
Difficulty : 30

Thanks !

Does someone have the map of the chest locations for Raisu Palace?

Dogma Blutlust · Jun 27, 2010, 08:49 PM // 20:49

hey guys

i havent played for over 2 1/2 years now
and here is my question

is it still smart to do cheatruns, or just wasting money?
i mean...is there chance for some stable profit?
if so..where? ^_^

im rank 6 treasure and rank 2 lucky..if that counts on profit with lockpicks

thank you

**Marty Silverblade** · Jun 27, 2010, 10:52 PM // 22:52

You generally won't make a profit by chestrunning. The best you can do is probably sell the unidentified golds (7 for 5k or whatever the going rate is). This means you won't progress in the Wisdom title though, so if you wanted it you'd have to salvage the good mods and sell them.

If your concern is purely for chestrunning for a profit, you're out of luck.

Dogma Blutlust · Jun 28, 2010, 05:49 PM // 17:49

yeah, thats why i expected, thank you....
id really like to have my title maxed...but since im new again i need some plats

system.fan · Jun 28, 2010, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Canthan Chestruns like Xaquang Skyway & Pongmei Valley usually are worth at least a try!

Selling items unid 7=5k and selling elite tomes will give you back the money for lockpicks ALWAYS!!!... and if you get some good drops you will even earn money. (For example... sell all common req10+ items, ident all r8/9 and any req rare skins).

Sometimes you might lose a few k, sometimes you'll get a few more k....
But It's alway +-0 if you do many runs....
