I was wondering if its possible...

I've done something like this :

Monk/Ranger

Storm Chaser
Dryders Defenses
Serpent Quickness
Spellbreaker
Troll Unguent
Divine Healing
Blessed Aura
Mend Ailment

Divine max, Wilderness max, rest in Prot
Weapon : 1st - 10/10 wand ( like gordacs ) + divine symbol 20/20
2nd - Holy Staff 20/20 divine, ench 20%, health + 30

Any comments/advices how to improve this build ?

how much money do you make out of chest running? in FoW

super dooper · Nov 14, 2005, 05:32 PM // 17:32

I do it with a standard Warrior/Monk running build.. (well, maybe not standard, because I don't use Healing Prayers..), and lose more gold than I make. >.>

that's probably the best you could do with a Monk/Ranger variation, I bet it's quite a bit harder than with a Warrior primary though..

Well, when you get Mind Freeze, you are actually dead

- and thats why there is Spellbreaker.
In fact, few unid chaos axes and shadow bows make you rich - and you can buy keys for ~1k from ppl.

The best place to ask is in the Etc. subforum of the Ventrari's Sell forum [near the bottom].

I'll give it a go

ive done this before, just doing the basic w/mo running build though. most chests in FoW are horrible. i opened about 10, and gold maybe 1 or 2 golds. i would not sudgest doing chest runs in FoW. chest running in ascalon is more profitable, keys costs like 25gold or something, and you could get some descent upgrades. FoW chests = waste of time, unless if you want to spend 50k and get one or two good drops (unless if your very lucky, then more).

its only fun when like 8 people go, and you all go running around trying to find a chest that drops golds.

Roguejew · Nov 16, 2005, 03:22 AM // 03:22

u must of have bad luck, cause most of the time FOW chests drop gold for me. Only a few times does it drop purple. That's why u take a group of 8 and each time a only one person opens it to see if its a gold chest or purple.

Pagan · Nov 16, 2005, 04:13 PM // 16:13

From my experience 50% of drops is chaos axe or shadow bow, rest = shadow staffs, rods, ankhs and other crap.
Anyway, 3k for a chance isnt much, dont u think ?

coldslammer · Nov 16, 2005, 09:02 PM // 21:02

didnt really wanna reply to this thread, but heres my experience as i been doing this for a while now lol

spent 25k which allowed me to enter 10x per 1 chest open
profit margin is 300k from finding chaos axes, shadow bows, and shadow staffs.

Cartoonhero · Nov 17, 2005, 12:04 AM // 00:04

i didnt think one could cast spellbreaker on themselves.

Rc The Mad · Nov 17, 2005, 06:00 AM // 06:00

Say you go 20 times for 20k + 30k for keys, 50k total, and get 19 bad drops, then a max gold chaos axe on your 20th drop. You just made a 250k profit. It's worth it, it's just damn boring. I use fissure chest runs to practice my running more than for the items.

wat my name is · Nov 17, 2005, 08:45 PM // 20:45

can ne1 post a w/mo runing build for doing the chest runs?

coldslammer · Nov 17, 2005, 11:24 PM // 23:24

nothing special really

charge
sprint
diciplined stance
defensive stance
healing signet
healing breaze
remove hex/holy viel

i mean its nothing complicated, u just gotta run through the mobz ezpz

chests are located in 1 of two places, the great war ground, or the beach

simon_iknow · Dec 05, 2005, 09:49 AM // 09:49

I find it very easy to run in FoW, but i can not find the chests there. Does anyone know where they are located. I don´t know the different places, so maybe you could tell me were i can locate it on a map....... -> has anyone made a video of chest runs in FoW ?

Gildor Took · Dec 05, 2005, 11:23 AM // 11:23

just like to say this the exact same build i use with my mo/r. Except I never though of using it to do chest runs in FOW. I use it to do the droknar -> grotto runs. That's how you make gold

Ennes X · Dec 10, 2005, 08:46 AM // 08:46

Sell just sell the gold drops UNIDed cheap and they sell quick. I make less on each sell, but I make consistent small gains and its worth it as far as moneymaking goes.

SaintGreg · Dec 16, 2005, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Tried this build out and it works great. Before I could never get past even one mob of imps from thunderhead to grotto as a warrior, now I just hear a bunch of clicks

.

As for running in FoW itself, its pretty easy to get to the big war field or whatever its called (where usually a chest or two spawns), but I had difficulty trying to get anywhere else. Also, it works great against casters, but if you get a chest in the middle of a group of warriors, I really am not quite sure how to get it, one time this happened inside a group of warriors - I got to the chest and dropped a gold req 8 shadow bow, but it dropped on the far side of the chest and I couldn't get around in near enough time to pick it up

Thanks for the build, I like it!

Could someone make a vid of this run? Curious to see what it consists of.
