Default change of chest run

hey all
I run chests in witmans folly but am bored of the dull, easy run and the lack of sweet drops. Also i want to start IDing the golds i find instead of just flogging un-IDed golds to people in droknars.
Does anyone know a good place, preferably in prophecies ( i like it better) where i could change to and mabye provide a route and method, i heard perdition rock was ok.
I am a W/whatever and have all but 1 warrior elites (soldiers stance -_-)

any help would be great

I don't know. But I would think the area is appealing because there's great visibility if you want to run around things. It's one of the least claustrophobic places in Cantha.

Yes boreas seabed is good. Usually one chest, sometimes 2. Really quick aswell. Another place to try is the Stygan Veil in DoA. You almost always get golds therre and good ones. In 5 chests i got 4 golds, 2 of which had perfect items.

i used to run witmans folly and there is really no reason to id them as they will 95% of the time but lame

whereas if you dont ID them you can sell them for 1k regardless

also it saves time as i was going for the title

I used to do Witmans Folly as it was extremly easy, but seeing that Anet have noticed how easy it was, the drops have become dismal. Try Ice Floe (can be abit hard, depending on spawn), but drops are generally good. Perdition rock is nice aswell, can be easy if you get a nice spawn and watch the patrols.

If you want to go for the title aswell as drops I would do FoW like I do now. Its easy, nice spawns, drops are good and 70% gold (alot higher than Witmans ^^), but keys are alot higher. But if you can find yourself a key seller, and running partner (preferably a rich paying one ), then FoW is the way to go.

If none of them take your fancy, stick with what your good at - Witmans. Theres always the chance the a Perfect Gold 15^50 Sundering Fellblade of Fortitude will drop .

Ring of Fire mursaat chest running is still good, tho I suggest Stygian Veil for either Stygian Gemstone farming or Chest Farming.
