Fastest chests= Port Sledge (3 guarenteed in 5mins)
Fast chests= Mirror of Lyss
Easy and Fast chests= Gyala Hatchery (3+chests a run up to 5)

Profitable= DoA / FoW
Good Skin= Nightfallen Jahai (fellblades, Fiery dragon swords)
Good Skin= Lutgardis run (Dual Gothic Axe, Gothic Sword?, Lots of wands ><)

oh man.
I've just dipped into my first couple ancient elonian chests and man i am not a fan. unless anyone has had any major drops from these in the last couple days than im dropping it RIGHT NOW lol.

question: what builds are you all using to run DoA / Nightfalle Jahai?

question 2: does the thing with monsters near ches affecting drop work in Factions and Prophecies as well? or does it only apply for nightfall like i think it does?

My guild used to team run chests outside Warcamp, pre factions. Can't really reach some of the chests very easily w/o help from friends. Of course back then one drop determined the state of the chest.

Best place to CR is DoA Stygian Viel,well it was until they nerfed it.
all you did was run into circle,get chest,get out and repeat.
it was just about impossible not to make a profit, got a req9,10 tactics gloom shields from there, best drops ever.
got lots of req9 grim,glazen scythes and nightmare spears,also igneous blades and shadow axes.
Doesnt it eat your heart out knowing they nerfed it.
atm i would say nightfallen jahai is best place to run,a few maps and guides have been made on how to chest run there.

sentinel tank · Feb 17, 2007, 08:59 PM // 20:59

they nerfed stygian veil, but u still can do gloom with x/sin very easy but its a lil bit slower and 1-2 chests in whole the area xD

Never liked much of DoA...I rather FoW.

Lately i've been up to Ice Floe ones. Mursaat Bows and Hammers and got 4 major vigor's in a couple of runs which payed them.

Also i run to ancient elonian chests but nothing special though.

Never tried Vabbi dunno if the drops are good.

To your first comment, you can't really tell about the drop rates of an area/type of chest till at least (in my experience) 400-500+ keys.

To question #2, yes. The enemies around the chests affect the drops.

I did chest runs in hells be4 nightfall cam out and that was profitable. I dropped it because nightfall came with it's inscribable weapons (including inscibable sephis and dead bow's) and that made me quit the run.

atm i'm not running anymore, but i will when i got enough cash for it again. i think starting with ancient elonian.

ps: for starter chest runners. make sure u got enough cash to spend on about 50-100 keys in the beginning.

I have been running the Poisoned Outcrops for a couple weeks now. Been through a few hundred keys so far, and done pretty well. Just got a req 9 Elemental Sword last week. I have gotten a couple purple max Sephis Axes (req 9 and req 10). A couple req 9 gold Ripper Blades. A bunch of nice mods like 20/20 sword and +30 Scythe. I usually get 5 chests per run, and on average 3 purple and 2 gold per run. Some runs I get 5 purple, then on another run I will get 4 gold.

Other than that I go to Gloom occasionally, but for the one or two chests, and the time it really isn't worth it to me. Plus it seems they did something there, as I was doing runs on Friday night and would go 2 or 3 runs without getting any chests in the area at all and the purples seem to be coming out of those more and more now. For 1,500 a key, I don't like getting purples. Give me a crappy gold at least.

What zone has the most chance on rare skin drop?I was farming for my 2nd Fow,but got tired of it. If i could use the money that I already have to get loads of keys,so i have a good chance to get some major pwnage skin that i could sell for a nice amount of ecto,that would certainly lesser my boredom to Fow.

You'll probably waste more money than you'll earn.

It appears that way when you spend 50k on keys and get nothing, but with Chest runing you dont make a steady flow of money. You for hours and hours and eventually after hundreds of keys get a rare drop that sell for tons. it isnt like 20k per hour farming, but it probably comes out to more. For example: If it takes you 16 hours to get an Ele sword from chest running and you sell it for 800k you could say you made 50k an hour even though you didnt get a steady pay check

novawhiz · Feb 20, 2007, 11:02 PM // 23:02

Ok ive been running in the poisened outcrops.

I know people are saying "what chests to stay away from", but are there any chests to avoid in Poisened Outcrops.

I know chests near Awakened have Sephis axes and chests near eles and Djin have ele sword, so is there really anything to avoid?

IMO, if you have enough investment(say, 100-200 keys), you can USUALLY(not always) make, double, or greatly increase your original investment.

It's gambling, straight up ^^

The reason expensive skins are expensive is that very few people get them. If you have cash to burn and want to take the risk then go for it.
