Run the last mission of the game, you get a chance to find Magma Shields.

I'm guessing the OP wants Treasure Hunter title. If I'm right, I doubt he'll want to CR Hell's since theres only going to be one chest near the end. If you really don't care about the drops, outside Port Sledge is probably the fastest way to go.

For fastest way to get title, run port sledge, even though it gives really bad drops most of the time (besides the occasional gold fellblade). If you want best drops, run last mission or fow. For a good mix, run places like ice floe for mursaat items or perdition rock.

you could also farm in the tomb of primeval kings, each run will give you 4 phantom chests(same as those in the underworld) and you have a chance to get an ecto along the way as well as greens once you kill the darkness in the end...

He wants to chest run, not farm. That's 4 chests in like 45 minutes to an hour. In that time you could pop at the minimum three times that.

Well I know that henchies don't effect key chest drops, but do they effect quest drops like fow quests the little sort of free box stuff? Do you have to flag them away so you get the drop or do you always get it?

You should chest run in factions. Factions has the most unique items celestrial weapons zodiac guardian of the hunt shields amber aegis gothic shield dual gothic axe salient daggers jade swords golden brand items. they are all valuable and specific to factions only . Nightfalls has items that belong to prophecies and almost all the prophecies skins can be found in Nightfalls. Most people dont care wether it is tyrian or from elona if they are the same stats they are going to pick the cheaper one. But if you are stuck with prophecies. I suggest you go and run the infusion quest along the way I always find a chest or 2 (unless they updated it ) and if you take some people along the way u can make some cash off them.

I can assure you, henchies DO NOT LOWER GOOD ITEM DROP RATE, in fact a req 9 Gold Collosal Scimitar droped for a friend while we were running chests in a certain place.......ive gotten 15^50 deadbow, -2stance +30 gloom shield and many other good golds with hench and heroes running with me.

I run Luxon chests in Boreas Seabed (the drops there aren't great to begin with but the amount of chests are spectacular) but I've gotten many superior vigors along with some weapons worth 100k + and I run with nothing but henchmen. In fact, they are more beneficial for me as they act as little meat shields.
