I've had no luck during the last lucky weekend as the Raptor Nestlings decided to keep their lockpicks to themselves. That said, I'm thinking of running low-end chests to boost my Lucky title track.

From what I've heard, Pockmarck Flats is a good place for Ascalonian Chests, but I haven't had much luck with the chests actually spawning.

Kilroy's Punchout Extravaganza, my guess is that I will get 2-3 per run but i could be wrong, guess we will have to wait and see.

I was thinking Snowman cave, with a couple people, Usually 5 chests on the run as well as 175 enemies or so, all in 15 mins. So you can work on lucky/unlucky along the way aswell as Dwarf title.

I proly won't be doing a full human team though, so may not get the amount of drops to make it worth while. There is a Ranger solo farm, but it's slow.

Chaos Plains!

I usually get 2-4 picks per run. If this scales to 6-12 for the weekend, I'll be a happy camper.

Lock picks have a horrible drop rate to begin with, so don't expect much last time they had this event I got 12 picks.

From all of my experiances, the best bet is to just do something in HM that you'd be doing anyways; HM Dungeons, Title Grinding, Normal Farming. Farming for lockpicks never cashes out. Doing what you were going to do anyways, and getting some extra drops for it is nice.

I remember last time there was a 3x pick event, I did raptors for 5 hours, and got 1 lockpick in total.
Just play the game normally and hope for the best, imho.
