leeky baby · Feb 03, 2007, 09:50 PM // 21:50

fow nioramlly gives best drops for me, i use to do hells but no 1 even wants dead bows :P

FoW is alright but the keys cost a bit to much and you normally get a crap drop.
I used to do the Mirror of Lyss chest running but you can always do the Brauer academy run kurzick style

tuna-fish_sushi · Feb 03, 2007, 10:29 PM // 22:29

DoA and Kurzick keys, DoA i usually get enough good stuff to get my money back, Kurzick is just like fast chest running but with a chance to get some good stuff unlike port sledge.

Doa, Ancient Elonian, and Kurzick KEys are my fav. Perfect dual gothic axes and few ele swords i recieved from these keys. VAbbi keys i hate now since it drops to many purps same as port sledge.

I used to chest run quite a bit but after the nerf stop but NF has inspired me. Can anyone post their routes for any of the NF chest runs, I play warrior so could you also put any tips for your run with it.

I like to run Margonite chests in Nightfallen Jahai, always get good stuff, other than that, other chests in NF and Factions seem to disappoint.

On another note, Hell's precipice chest running AND Ring of Fire chest running can net you great profits if you know which chests to open and which to stay away from.

ephexx · Feb 08, 2007, 11:56 PM // 23:56

how do you know which to open and which to stay away from??

I only CR in FoW and I have yet to get a good gold..

Kirby_The_Destroyer · Feb 09, 2007, 12:27 AM // 00:27

Yea i say right now Nightfall is the place to chest run just because of the inscribable items you get ^ ^. I also i like CR'ing Margonite chests in Nightfallen Jahai pretty easy place ive already gotten about 6 Fiery/Icy Blade axes and some other stuff. FoW still fun, and DoA if you like more gold drops.

Tempo · Feb 09, 2007, 02:22 AM // 02:22

I love chest running but i havent gotten very far so all i can tell you is where NOT to run.

DO NOT RUN VABBIAN CHESTS, i spent probablly 80+k on these and NEVER got anything remotely good (oksome stuff but it really wasnt worthit)

I still think the chests in Naphui Quater are funny because of teh chance for celestials ( i know its low but if u get a good one its worth it) although if your looking for a way to make money not get a very rare drop then this isnt for you.

lets see after 4 ancient elonian chests i think they're the best so far even thought the drops weren't great they looked like they had potential...

tcb!

hell's is a very good place to chest run (and its fun when doing this with a full party of runners). Remember that the skin of the item you get depends on the monsters around it...
Ancient elonian chests give pretty good items.

(undeads FTProfit!)

Kirby_The_Destroyer · Feb 09, 2007, 05:08 PM // 17:08

But yea if you have the money and patience to start chest running and you know what to id and what to sell(i.e. Crappy high Rq items) it can become quite profitable.

kumarshah · Feb 09, 2007, 07:42 PM // 19:42

I want to get into Chest-running, are their guides available?

Dronte · Feb 09, 2007, 08:41 PM // 20:41

I suggest if somebody has a CR map (and there are no guides), post it here, I'm interested, because I dont have good routes for example for AE chests.

My favourite was port sledge run, but after the nerf its really non-profitable. These times I'm runnin kurzick chests just outside lutgardis, doing securing echovald forest as well, but its not too fast for me (and I havent got any 10k+ items lol). I dont like margonites, they drop me nearly only purples these days.

ephexx · Feb 09, 2007, 09:38 PM // 21:38

For CR, the when you get a drop and the req. is high, does that mean if you ID it the mod(s) on it will suck??

so if i were to find a chest surrounded by djinn id have a good cahnce for a elemental sword

??

onerabbit · Feb 10, 2007, 06:40 AM // 06:40

not really a good chance...a better chance, but still not good

Also Dronte, Lutgardis sucks for Decent items, to many Caster crap, you want to go somewere where theres lots of melee.

Dronte · Feb 10, 2007, 08:36 AM // 08:36

So what is your advice for running? Is there any difference between other kurzick areas? So for example melandru's hope and mourning veil falls?

I suppose, yes. As said before there is still a very little chance to get an elemental sword.

ephexx, no. To know the mods on your unid, equip item, see if there is changes (energy, dmgs on critical while enchanted, health > 50, <50, while hexed etc...)
req has nothing to do with this.

Dronte · Feb 15, 2007, 03:03 PM // 15:03

I'm interested which place is the best for getting my treasure hunter title higher (so the fastest, not interested in drops), and which place is the best for rare skins or golds or melee weapons. (or rare skin gold melee weapons :P
