I've been working on my Treasure Hunter titles, and I was wondering where people have gotten the best drops form chests in Tyria. I've already got the first level from Luxon chests in Cantha, but now I'm looking to return home and get some great loot. I've heard that there are some good chests in the Southern Shivers and other nice ones in Ring of Fire. Where should I start looking?

Also, don't say FoW, UW, or other special areas.

They are...until you die 3 feet short of a req 9 gold chaos axe...and then the last survivor of your party waits until everyone's items become un-reserved..............

You're forced to watch him pick up your nice cash cow...

Yep, that sux. They should bann people for doing that. Record it with game came and show it to Anet or something.

...and don't do kurzick chest, they are boring and really suck!

zos shirvos channel(i think its spelled that way) follow west wall will find 2 chest's due north, takes 3-5 mins to get both , only have to fight 1 mob, they count towards title, went from 50 to 85 in 1 night, some nice stuff but mostley junk, can score some good mods though, got several 20% enchant/ap mods for all different weapons, highest find was a 60k 15% always bow and its only 600gp per key

It would be nice to have your items *STAY* reserved for you. They dropped for you, they should stay yours. And when you leave, the items that dropped for you that didn't get picked up should be given to you. (Like in missions). That's just my opinion though.

I agree with X of Thulcandra, everything that drops for you should remain for you, period. What Relnor recalls in FoW is similar to what happened to me when the IDS first appeared. On my 25th run (or something like that) an IDS dropped for me but I got zapped and fell about 12 inches away from it. I was sure that the monk who had escaped would rez everyone so we could keep on going (one person needed to cap from the Ice Beast up the cave).

The monk stayed back and waited patiently for the IDS to turn unclaimed. When it did, he ran to it, picked it up and quit the group. That was when the IDS was going for 100k at Granite. Needless to say, my appartment turned into a sauna so much I was fuming red. Eventually I got one a few outings later (my warrior still has it to this day) but it's just to show that items that drop for you should remain for you.

Any chest that requires a key of 600 gold or more is considered a high-end chest. So any kurzick, luxon, deep jade, urgoz waren, etc chests you open will give you a score on your treasure title.

yea port sledge is the easiest run possible...mainly shit drops tho

ice floe - good for mursaat drops..but good drops are kinda spread out + chests dont always appear

ember - too many purples to warrant the cost of keys

hells - good drops..not easy tho

thk run - mursaat and summit drops..sometimes

(bring back the l33t chests..)

ill have to check thk too it seems

i also saw someone state that Dwarven axes *can* drop sometimes in pve (ie, not only from reward chests), even though I had the impression they only drop from reward chests?

share your wisdom with the common folk

That's just my opinion though. wouldnt you prefer to have someone pick the item and give it back to you? just because you had some bad experience with jerks, it doesnt mean that its always like this, ive received items from FOW runs before from people. id prefer to have them unreserved after i leave game so that i actually might have a chance to have the item..

Hands down best chest drops in Tyria are the ones outside of Granite Citadel when you have the Defend Droknars quest active. You won't find better chest drops anywhere. It's best to do these runs with 4+ people if your just hunting golds though. This IS the best run you will find.

I know where u can get up to 3 chest in 1-2 min, no mobs to fight, even a lvl 1 can do it , and its about 50% golds for me

Drop's include Mammoth axe's,Gemstone axe's, Stonecrusher's,Platinum item's,

chest locations are in white circles



but dont expect that theres gonna be all 3 chest there everytime, sometimes theres only 2
