Default What chests to farm this weekend?

What chests do you guys think will be most profitable to farm this weekend?
My moneys on Torment (Domain of Secrets) chests... since they can drop stuff like Elemental Swords and they only cost 750 (150 more than the lowest chests that count for the title). I could be wrong .

What do you think?

Istani chests for me!

No, seriously I'll be somewhere in the Desolation area. Those chests have tended to be more productive for me than Margonite chests.

What would be a good area to run in in the Desolation? My money will be there and in Vabbi this weekend if I find a good running spot. Mirror of Lyss for Vabbi, but Desolation seemed odd to me. Hope I'm wrong ofc

You don't need to run.
You've got your trusty Junjundu.

Vabbi hasn't been great for me. I got a Sup Death on first chest, so I'm not really complaining, but after that it's been well under 50% gold and the golds haven't been great.

I had a req 9 Fellblade from a Vabbi chest That was just near the font where you need to wash before doing a quest. (memory like a sieve)

But I'm away this weekend so probably won't get much done at all.

Bought and used 100 ancient elonian chest keys and only 9 golds out of them. Is this a bug?

DoA are like 6/7 gold even without the weekend...
So it's arguable if it's a smart thing to do.

I've been doing better now in generic Vabbi zones -- a bit of an emphasis on Garden of Seborhin, but a bunch of different zones total. E.g., got a +30 HP spear, +5 Hale and Hearty, etc., etc. Nothing I'm thrilled to use, but stuff I will use, at least for heroes. Sometimes two great mods in an overall not great package. The usual.

If I sold stuff just at Guru auction, I think I'd have made a profit overall.

I stick to vabi mainly just for ease. i also like the look there opposed to domain, too dark for me.
