The video was made a WHILE ago, i dont know how mch things changed... Dont know if its easier or harder...
I did a run last night and it seems the same way its always been. Only problem i found was finding a group (I didnt find one!!!) I waited 10 minutes and there was no chest running groups so I went in alone
Ya I have found the same same. I use to do these runs everyday, wasted alot of time and money on them. But recently (meaning a month or 2) Finding chest runs groups in the ToA has been somewhat of a chore. Personally I think people just lost interest in them, I know I did.
I don't know if it was just bad luck but on my last CR I only found one chest in the whole FoW and btw there are good spots in Elona, too so maybe it isn't worth it anymore.
