I'm curious: where are the best farming places in elona? and where is the best place to make chest runs? I've seen storm bows and sephis axes dropping from chests in plain of torment, but how about the other places?
Where do the armors drop?
Etc, etc....

I completed the game few days ago, got my primeval armor and now i'm crying 'couse of lack of insignias, and end game greens (IMHO) are butt ugly.
I need a farming place, so if any of you can share your thoughts and experiences, i would greatly appreciate this.

Yes please, someone tell us where a great spot is for this. I haven't yet finished the maps but I am sure there's something out there.

the best pace to chest run is imo any place that uses margonite keys...i got a req8 dead bow from one that i need to remod to make perfect =). to bad perfects aren't worth nearly as much now with the inscriptions.

Hmm, then the best chest running is that mission with shiro and lich
If i remmember correctly that mission reasembles hell's percipecie. Looks a lost alike and has undead portal wraiths guarding portals, and sometimes even chest. But i wonder if this chest has same drop rate as the ones in hells.
I saw storm bows and ethernal bows droping in realm of torment so i could just guess that they will drop also from those chests.

Just my guessings but if someone can prove them right, that would be swell.

i saw a eternal shield drop in the mission gate of pain... so i guess those kind of skins should drop from chests there too

pegasux · Nov 06, 2006, 08:37 PM // 20:37

the chest will drop according to the surrounding foes at the time...just like the ones in hells. get a wraith around and you get a chance at a deadbow or a sephis =).

shogun avatar · Nov 06, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

Sweet, but does the wraith alow chest to spawn item other then "undead" type. I mean like dead sword or elemental sword, or even razor axe?
Al those new goodies with schweet skins

ive been chest running in nightfallen jahai just go out the gates of torment outpost on a good run there are about 4-5 morganite chests, still waiting on that elemental sword drop though

TRicciardi · Nov 07, 2006, 09:52 AM // 09:52

btw.. how does chests work now? they used to allways drop the same color item for all players, last night i was doing some quests with a friend, he opened 3 chests, all gold, i opened them.. all purple..

jiggerjay · Nov 07, 2006, 10:09 AM // 10:09

i have alread got treasure hunter title with my new char, and so far its just no worth it to chest run, most of the purples are near perfect like 14^50% mod like stuff or 20/19% or 29hp, or the golds have the worth mods known to man.

chest running has been made praticly obsolete since the update as most of them just generate random purples. even when around some tough foe its something bad.

Interesting thing that I have noticed is that low req weapons drop less frequently from chests. High req weapons with one good mod are more frequent.

Since the game is so new and skin popularity undetermined with the exception of the elemental sword, its more profit to just take the well sought after mods and sell them seperately rather than try to sell the whole weapon.

As far as the chests are concerned, I like some other posters run the area of the nightfallen jahai. That seems to be the best value for money. Not easy running there though as mob of enemies can own you.

Hmm, i'm turning back to cantha for farming, even with that new AI, old spots are still farmable. And to make things even better, they have increased dops

gold item drops have been drasticly increased.

Chest running still remains mistery in elona.
If someone can post confirmed drops from margonite chests (i.e. storm bow, dead bow, sephis axe, and other cookies i saw dropping in realm of torment)

chessyang · Nov 09, 2006, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Yes, this is a nice place, but it's for the mods only, i haven't seen any desireable skins drop there. Btw, where do Blade axes and ancient axes drop? i've got to get myself one Icy Blade Axe

Marth Reynolds · Nov 11, 2006, 04:49 PM // 16:49

Ancient axes would drop from ancient elonion chests, had a Ancient bow from one before so it would make sense

Ancient bow have that froglegs on a steel part skin

Finaly found a beautifull chest running place: Nightfallen Jahai. Just outside of first outpost in realm of torment.
Up to 6 chest per run, done in 15 mins.
I usually get 2-3 golds. Since these chests are high end (750gold per key) you can go for your treasure hunter title ^^

Doom Runehammer · Nov 15, 2006, 05:25 PM // 17:25

Please pardon my noob-ness, but how does one get to Nightfallen Jahai? I've not been able to find it....

shogun avatar · Nov 15, 2006, 08:14 PM // 20:14

You are excused, it's on stupid location. i busted my balls running around, trying to find exit. When in gate of torment, turn right at skill traded (not hero skill trader) and fallow the road through one opened gate. Then you'll see a road at witch end is nightfallen jahai. have fun running

Doom Runehammer · Nov 15, 2006, 09:01 PM // 21:01

TY, looks like I'm gonna be spending my afternoon in Desolation and Torment... So close to adept treasure hunter...

Apple · Nov 16, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

Chest running in nightfallen jahai is super hot for drops. Seriously, the drops are ridiculously good :P
If demand is sufficient, i will post a map.
