If you have Factions, Gyala Hatchery's a good place. 5 chests in one Explorable. I don't know about the Kurzick equivalent though.

I beleive so. Take some hench as bait though, which I had to do since my Warrior holds a Chalice instead of a shield.

I Chest Run with a Mo/R & W/Mo {Areas are in Prophecies}

Fow {W/Mo} ~ Not sure on chest amount never took notice.. i do this on a w/mo but i wana try it on mo/r

Ice Floe {Mo/R} ~ 5 chests (Chance of Mursaat // Fellblade skins)

Tasca's Demise & Mineral springs {Both} (With Defend droks quest)


I`m soon going to try Imperial Sanctum & Gyala Hatchery

Build for the W/Mo is extremely common.. Main skills: sprint // charge // holy veil // heal signet
Build for the Mo/R taken from gw wiki very easy to use: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mo/R_Shiverpeaks_Runner

FoW is usually 3+ gold chests. If you get a good gold it usually sells for ~20k+

My treasure hunter title counter is about to surpass my wisdome title count. I need some golds to ID to even it out. When I need more golds to ID than high-end chests to open, I would think I can look for cheap chests to open. Like Ascalon chests to seek golds to ID.

Does anyone know of any good spots to do cheap chest runs? I tried around Ascalon City but couldn't find any. I'm hoping to find a spot in Old Ascalon or Nothern Shiverpeeks. Kryta if I really have to, with Kryta keys at 200 gold each. Ascalon keys 50 gold, Steel keys 80 gold.

Only high-end chest count towards the title. The Ascalon and North Shiverpeak chests dont drop gold so that wont help you with your wisdom title and they definately dont count towards the treasure hunter title as they aren't high end.

For Kurzicks, run Drazach Thicket, I prefer it over Melandru's as I get a generally better quality of drops.
