Any specific places, preferably in the Nightfall campaign that you guys / gals like to chest farm? I've been farming Factions chest for a while now, specifically outside of Lutgardis, similar to the FFF runs, running Br and doubling back around to Mu, Sh, Str. Usually a good 2 - 3 - 4 chests a run, and i've gotten everything from Dual Gothics to Gothic Swords and what not.

Just looking for some advice on nice areas to chest run =)

Mirror of Lyss is a good place to run i hear.

Ah, thanks. One other thing, are there any locations noted for their high drop rate of keys? I know back in Prophecies I had heard of people farming the keys themselves, and then running chests. Making the situation essentially a free title if you had the time to invest into it.

Keys don't drop often enough to offset how many you'll need to run chests. I suggest dropping the whole idea of farming keys as you'll spend more time than it's worth.

I have a specific chestrun route through the northern areas of the desolation. Keys are 600g which makes them cheap, and count towards title, plus i get golds 80% of the time.

Will post map when i next do it

Thank you very much

Also thanks for the key tip, I had just wondered since i've seen people selling stacks of random Prophecies keys. I had thought perhaps there were known areas that drop more keys, as oppose to someone just keeping a bunch (or selling what they had left over from title)

80% gold?

I usually get 1 gold from 10 AE chests!

I average about a 1/3 - 2/3 out of the chests around Melandru's Hope, however those are generally not too great. Occasionally you'll see a nice Gothic / Dual Gothic / Gothic Sword though.

As were on the CR topic, does anyone have a CR map for nightfallen jahai and does anyone have any idea of what the drops would be like their?

I've been running there too for a while, I havent got any gold dual gothic or gothic sword gold, only 1-2 gothic axe, and a few nice Echovald shield. About 25-35% are gold there.

i honestly believe gold rate depends on todays luck....im almost rank 4 and ive found that some days ill get 9-10 golds and the next day only get 1-10 in the same area...it all depends on ur luck the day u do it....i also get pretty bad rates in AE..dont know wats up i hear about people raving about the golds they get there...the best nf place ive seen so far for crs is nightfallen jahai...but like i said it depends on the day

pm me if ya need crs guys
