*Please bear in mind that I haven't run these as extensively as I probably could have, and that there is no guarantee of the run :P*

There are usually 2-3, but sometimes up to *6* chests in the run (maybe more, and yes, I have gotten up to six in a run, but only once or twice). Don't be shocked if you run it and only see one chest, or even none. The best part for me, was that there are so many different spots that can have chests (helps you to get at least 2 chests most of the time).

Red line is the basic path to follow, with light blue dots being locations that I have seen chests before. It is a 'long' run, but requires only one aggro along the path *unless the chests are in a mob, then, obviously, you'll have to run in after it*. I don't see why any class couldn't run it, just bring Koss and/or the other war hero, and give them Charge.

The drops: In general, the chests seem to have a 50% gold rate, and I get a fairly frequent rare armor, leaving the change of sup vig's there, along with inscriptions. Since NF is new, I'm not exactly sure what the rare skins are, but there is a pretty good variety (FDS dropped a few times, woot E: )


^^Chest locations approximated, just for visual's sake.


Run run run, and if you get anything rare, please post it so I can run some more to nab one for myself

I stumbled upon this as well as I passed through the area doing storyline stuff. Golds from all of the chests, but two of them were focus and armor. The other three were:

We need to get chest runs down in Desolation too. I know it can be accomplished there if need be, just not sure where you'd do so. But good drops from those chests...I'll try out a few areas.

I'll do a few runs in Mirror too, see what i get.

search is not loading for me...not sure why. anyway, there was a thread about how the elemental sword drops in chests somewhere. might be desolation or torment area. i tried torment and got a gold blood staff and an ancient axe, 15% always -5 energy.

I am a pro chest runner. (7073 chests open so far And i know this run which i do alot. And there are a couple things you should know first.

Chests in Vabbi and most of Nightfall are based on where monsters spawn.

The only Chests you will find in the mirror of lyss, and much of nightfall, will only be right near the monster spawn groups.

So the only thing you need to do run to all the monster spawns points, and you get all the chests.

The only true Chest runner for nightfall is the Whammo. With the new skill signet of stamina you will have around an extra 250+ health. You will need that extra health to outrun some of the belhemoths that appear in this zone. They will chase you for over 20 seconds.

I would also list the types of drops in these chests but that would take too long.

But i will leave you with one little bit of info. The jeweled daggers you get from here, can xp salavage into sapphires got 4 sapphires this way so far
