If you have Factions, Gyala Hatchery's a good place. 5 chests in one Explorable. I don't know about the Kurzick equivalent though.

I beleive so. Take some hench as bait though, which I had to do since my Warrior holds a Chalice instead of a shield.

I Chest Run with a Mo/R & W/Mo {Areas are in Prophecies}

Fow {W/Mo} ~ Not sure on chest amount never took notice.. i do this on a w/mo but i wana try it on mo/r

Ice Floe {Mo/R} ~ 5 chests (Chance of Mursaat // Fellblade skins)

Tasca's Demise & Mineral springs {Both} (With Defend droks quest)


I`m soon going to try Imperial Sanctum & Gyala Hatchery

Build for the W/Mo is extremely common.. Main skills: sprint // charge // holy veil // heal signet
Build for the Mo/R taken from gw wiki very easy to use: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Mo/R_Shiverpeaks_Runner

FoW is usually 3+ gold chests. If you get a good gold it usually sells for ~20k+

My treasure hunter title counter is about to surpass my wisdome title count. I need some golds to ID to even it out. When I need more golds to ID than high-end chests to open, I would think I can look for cheap chests to open. Like Ascalon chests to seek golds to ID.

Does anyone know of any good spots to do cheap chest runs? I tried around Ascalon City but couldn't find any. I'm hoping to find a spot in Old Ascalon or Nothern Shiverpeeks. Kryta if I really have to, with Kryta keys at 200 gold each. Ascalon keys 50 gold, Steel keys 80 gold.

The Ascalon and North Shiverpeak chests dont drop gold so that wont help you with your wisdom title and they definately dont count towards the treasure hunter title as they aren't high end.

For Kurzicks, run Drazach Thicket, I prefer it over Melandru's as I get a generally better quality of drops.

if you have slow load, you may aswell stop now, most runner spawn and run, not wait, they like to rush, but its good fun.

Also at the end of each run, u /resign, stops farming code set in.

if anyone would like to try CR in HP, just pm me ingame, and we get a team.
as alot of runners there know me, all though im pretty new, you get to know the good runners xD

I don't have factions, is it possible to chest run Hells Precipice as a R/Mo or anything but R/A?

I used to solo run this with a mo/r build, using a 105 or 55 health build (105 lets you take more degen). I believe there is already a post of it on guru, though I am having trouble finding it right now, so look around.

My HP run build (I used to do it a while ago before i realised actually playing the game was a bad source of income. It's a fun run though )

Mo/R with 15AL armour, any HP you like
Spirit Bond
Prot Spirit
Blessed Signet
Serpent's Quickness
Spellbreaker
Storm Chaser
Balth's Spirit
Blessed Aura

There's a knack to it. If anyone wants me to show them how I do it, just ask. By the way, if you're running HP, only one chest matters, the other ones drop crap all the time, dont bother.

The last one (assuming it spawns) as long as the nearest enemies are the "Portal Wraiths". That's the only thing that allows it to drop undead (sephis, Krytan Hand Axe, Dead Bow, Crude shields etc). Basically, the other chests are complete pants because the way Chests work is a combination of the enemies around them (in this case, the "undead" portal wraiths) and the area of the game (the ring of fire, which has a percentage chance to drop Magma's Shields and Fellblades etc, but very rarely good ones in my experience). You're trying to bank on the last chest dropping an undead weapon, and otherwise you're just wasting money on keys. I *guess* there's a tiny chance of that perfect magma's dropping, but it's not worth it in my experience, at least, and a few others i've seen.

well i did about 10 runs through HP and it's definately a fun run =). about half the chests were gold for me. got 4 gold keepers...one of them being a gold Req 10 Magmas -5 (20%) +58 Hex...so close to perfect =(. one of the funner runs in the game and it's pretty easy. and out of the 10 runs or so...only had that last chest spawn 2 times.
