I think he means the chests that spawn as quest reward. Those drops are grape.

If you move henchies out of radar so they turn gray are you supposed to get more items from the chest?

Cause i did that and only got 1 itme.

I flagged em away ..
First try:
2 purples
2 purples
2 purples

Second try
2 purples
3 purples
3 purples

So 5-8 drops per "run"
The drops are (usually) purple and the chance of anything good is low.

Personally, just chest run elsewhere

This is in prophecies and as far as I know, they come with no possibility of changing the "inscription" because only items that drop in nf can.

Do they count as high-end chests?

According to GuildWiki, Miner's Chests count as High-End chests.

Even if they did nerf hero flagging that wouldn't stop it happening. All you'd need is 2 people and 6 heros. You have COMPLETE control over your heros skillbar. Give them all Dolyak Signet of Armour Of Earth, give yourself a speed boost. Then just leg it until the heros are out of view and open the quest chests. Slightly harder to work, but equally as doable for this sort of farming.

I think that every chest which costs 600+ is a High-End Chest.

Which quest is this becuase i thought each quest only gives 1 chest( i rarely do SF). As i saw people saying they got 6-7purples in a run.

Thanks for this run, I used to run it with mates, but now they have introduced henchman flagging its a really nice run.

8-10 purples a run. Average 3-4 Major Vigor runes (3.5k each) a run. So I am not complaining at all. And the chance of rare skins makes this run very good. Also henchable with any proffesion, I go War or MM.

Thanks

i knew this for a long time now, i farmed this quest like 75 times or something i dont think this is going to be nurfed because i never got even 1 serpent axe or crystaline or whatever all i get is crap the best i got was i major vigor rune.

the fact i never got a single good drop here is normal to me all i ever get is crap best drop i ever got in whole guildwars is a green shield the first day nightfall came out and i sold it for 100K + 5 ectos for a very very crap shield

well i finally got my crystalline on like the 15th run or so...got 2 of em...both r13 though =(. but the run takes 15-16 ea run if you take 3 SF eles like the OP suggested. with the selling of junk and porting time each run takes about 20-22 min...so 3 runs an hour equals out to about 10k an hour...not bad imo...green farming is still more lucrative.

Oh right lol, im more of a noob than i thought, so hench dont affect your drops? I was always under the impression they did or atleast they decreased the chance of you getting a good drop. Is this just for drops from monsters rather than chests? Thanks buddy.

A Big thanks goes out to the OP. This is an easy farm and has been rather profitable in the last couple of days. It is awesome to see a farm build that doesn't require buying a new set of armor or skills and can be done with any character. This is a great way to level up those heros that you have not used much also, Melonni went from lvl 8 to lvl 20 so fast that I forgot to spend her attribute points! In the last three days every hero I have now has a major vigor and is set with max weapons and all the runes they will ever need.

Major Vigs.... haven't had a single 1.

I swear it allocates runes drops for people and just repeats em over and over, i must've had 100s of Major Absoprtions, Death Magics and Fire Magics.

Only had 1 Crystalline... but it was shit. Damage modless and high req so i just gave it a guildy. Not worth my time to sell as overpriced shit.
