Default Chestrunning for Lucky Points

As you know, you get 250 (500 for the weekend) points for retaining lockpicks, and while on normal mode, your retain rate is increased and keeps increasing by running chests with keys that cost less and less.

So I bought 20 lockpicks, and ran over 60 chests yesterday on normal mode outside Sunspear Great hall and only lost about 4-5 keys, got 30k+ in lucku points in only an hour or two. 81% retain rate lvl 5 chest hunter(+15), lvl 1 lucky(+2)


everyone going for lucky title should get your asses to Sunspear Great hall and chest run with lockpicks on normal mode

*the more people you run with, the better you can split up and find chests easier to save time*
* this is only for people going for lucky title, these are not highend chests and they only drop purples*
*dont even need running skills, its this easy*
* 1-3 chests per run*

this run is alot cheaper and faster than 9 rings, by far, even if you dont have lucky or treasure hunter title, you should have a 60%+ to retain

Some?

For 50k Lucky points you would need to retain 200 lockpicks.Since your chance is 60%:

60% - 200
100% - x

x= 333.3

Dont provide vague info plz!

I have been farming Deldrimor Points in the Snow man Dungeon lately. I have found this top be an excellent way to farm lucky points. In this dungeon, which only takes about 10 mins to complete, i have found 5 chests consistently.
I have 55% of retaining lockpicks here (Treasure Hunting title 3 & Lucky Title 3).
Also, there alot of positives to opening chests here. I have gotten good golds and good mods. These have made me money.
Selling all weapons to merch i have been able to make back 60% of the cost of the lockpicks.
These are highend chests so they do effect Treasure Title (last weekend i opened 200 chests), I have been getting at least a gold per run, so thats good for the Wisdom title.
Last positive of all is the 2 wintersday items u recieve at the end of the dungeon, oh and ofcourse the Dwarf points for that title.

Noticed that myself though havent runned it with killing all mobs in.A 55hp monk may be able to run it though and using SoJ he can kill everything(if Soj triggers).
