I ran chests in Stygian Viel for awhile. There were 4 spawns fairly close to where you enter and it was fairly easy to access them. Since this update, I've done 10 runs and not one chest spawned. Did ANet move these chests to harder to reach areas, or is it just horrible luck?

Maybe they nerfed it just like the Eternal Grove ones.

Gloom is still possible, only more difficult. I dont see chests spawn in easy spots anymore. always right inside a group. hic

Gloom chests are still there, but usually beside or inside a mob. This is what I use to run:

D/A
16 Mysticism
xx Wind Prayers
8 Earth Prayers

[skill]Extend Enchantments[/skill][skill]Vow Of Silence[/skill][skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill][skill]Vital Boon[/skill][skill]Featherfoot Grace[/skill][skill]Dash[/skill]Open Open

I use a staff with 20% enchantments on it. I don't really know the chest spawns, so if anyone wants to post them go ahead.

Two skills are all you need to really run Gloom. It isn't the speediest way but it works. Just need */A or A/* to do it. Use ShadowForm and Dark Escape. Max out Shadow Arts and you have a way to run into the heart of the biggest of groups with impunity. Mind you getting in is easy. If you want to get out, you need a backup plan.

I use Mo/A and use Restful Breeze or Healing Breeze for easy heal over time after Shadow Form runs out. You can also equip Dash if you want a little kick in the run.

gloom is very easy to run just use the light shard thingy if u want. or just run blind and watch for mobs on your mini map.

go W/A with Shadow Form very easy to run into that huge mob in the middle and get that chest that spawns there. think theres like 8 mobs that patrol around the open spawn.

I've been running gloom since DoA came out. Easiest way is 3 skills. Shadow of Haste, Shadow Form and 1 other stance.

Get a safe zone, hit shadow of haste. Go in until you are about to hit the mob, shadow form. Get your chest, stance out to your safe zone. Easy.

With this last update, they didn't remove the chests from gloom,but they don't spawn as often or as many as before it seems. Also, the quality of the items and chance for golds has gone down.

im happy veil got the nerf. its a cruddy run, for u only get purps. gloom is a much better run. i can normally run gloom 10 times, then i gotta w8 a few days otherwise i get a load of purps. i ran with a mate their once and he got a nice colassal.

ne 1 have general suggestions for CR in NF? i know outcrops is a good clean run, crystal is good but a real pain to get to, any where else i should spend my keys at?

Only get purps? In about 80 runs, I got about 2 purps. In 10 runs for gloom, 4 purps.
