I would like to know some build/area's where you can Chest run with ranger.

I use this build:
1. Escape
2. Dodge
3. Zujins Haste
4. Troll unguent
5. Mending
6. Healing Breeze
7. Optional ( some area's require Holy Viel )
8. Optional

Thats my build.

Your build is fine, except you might want to switch to Trolls and/or Heal Area if you are in an area with enchant hate. However, unless you are going for a title, I would warn you not to waste your time chest running. It takes a lot of luck to break even, let alone make a profit nowadays.

^ Actually, its pretty random, I went out with a friend, and got 8 golds outta 10, and he got like..2 golds outta 10 and we opened the same chests. "Luck" might be a factor

Anyway, I run the following Chest areas with some success with drops:
Witman's Folly (R/W - with Charge! and Balanced Stance, for Azure spawns)

Kurzick Areas [I use D Thicket] (R/Mo - No enchants for wardens just condition removal, Holy Viel for Mantis spawns)

Mirror of Lyss (R/X - Just use Koss and Goren to Charge! you around and take Ruby Djinn or Roaring Ether aggro when needed)

These are the areas I get decent gold to purple rates at.

I actually prefer to go chest running as a R/A using skills like:
Dark Escape
Shadow of Haste
Escape
Whirrling Defense
Lighting Reflexes
Troll Unguent

The main thing is to be able to get in and out quickly. Shadow of haste is excellent for this. You can stand far back in the clear, activate it, run up to the chest. Open it, quickly grab the item and hit another stance quickly to warp back to saftely. I've had a lot of luck with chest running with the basics of this build.
