Shiverpeaks Chest Running

I was interested in running these Chests, going for the Treasure Hunter titles. I was wondering what builds are being used currently?

I have tried doing so in Witman's Folly using the W/Mo Bold Forge Runner build on wiki.wm

Also, does anybody have maps which show Chest locations or can they train me?

Thanks

Just generally run outside in the snow till you find a chest. Shiverpeaks are quite easy imo.

All you really need is sprint .... then a couple of safety skills. The Bold Forge runner build should be fine.

And chest spawns are random.

I've also been running here for title. You only need a couple of skills here. Something for speed, some anti-knockdown and possibly something for healing.
There are always 3 chests there and since the run takes about 3min this is great if you are going just for title (as drops are crap).
If you still need help you can PM me and I'll show you the run.

If I ever run Shiverpeaks, I run as [wiki]Build:Mo/R Shiverpeaks Runner[/wiki] in [wiki]Ice Floe[/wiki] or in [wiki]Tasca's Demise[/wiki]/[wiki]Mineral Springs[/wiki] with [wiki]Defend Droknar's Forge[/wiki] on.

EDIT: If you want to go for the title on your warrior, go W/A:

Strength-12+1+w/e
Shadow Arts-12

[skill]Shadow Form[/skill][skill]Death's Charge[/skill][skill]Dark Escape[/skill][skill]Enraging Charge[/skill][skill]Endure Pain[/skill][skill]Shadow Refuge[/skill][skill]Feigned Neutrality[/skill][skill]Signet of Stamina[/skill]

the only down side i find to the witmans folly run is that soem times a chest drops with the ele boss, i can open it but he kills me 8 out of 10 times b4 i get the drop :P and why do u run with the titan quest on in mineral spings, is it a better drop rate??

The Titans drop Fellblades, Magmas Shields, Sup. Vigors, etc...

I remember a D/A running through the Shiverpeaks went very well, using Vow of Silence as the elite. I dunno how a W/D would work out, but you might try it. And incidently, I hear the best drops from chests in the Shiverpeaks are in Mineral Springs, though if you are mainly concerned with the title, that won't matter much.

Sorry about the double post.

@ olly123: I think they do it with the quest on because there are Titans rather than the usual enemies spawned, which means there are fewer enemies overall.

Witmans folly is not all total crap. I got a Sup Vigor and a Sup Absorbtion (too, bad is not the old days on this one) on Saturday while killing some time. I've also seen a gold Fellblade drop from a chest there too, alas not for me though.

The shdaows are trouble there but other than that its an easy run.

Whitmans runs are generally profitable for me, i tend to find 3:1 ratio of purps to golds there. Ive had a few sup vigs and absortions, and one or two fellblades(nothing worth noting). You do get good drops there every so often.

And its a rediculosly easy run, jus bring balanced stance, signet of stamina and endure pain, with sprint and charge, never fails. Though holy veil can be handy for the mind freeze boss.

I find that south of thunderhead keep is the best, mursaat=mursaat hammers, hornbows etc. GG.

Priceykins is right, witmans has a decent drop rate (at least for me). I used to farm there all of the time to make some easy money, and I also found my now customized req 8 15%^50 Felly. Even came with a 20/20 on it .

I also enjoy going to Thunderhead Keep. The Mursaat are a little more tricky, and if you get caught by a mob of ice imps it really slows the run down. Good Mursaat drops there. Sold a req 8 15%^50 Mursaat bow that I found on a run with my buddy for 100k+75 ecto.

That was the old days though.... I find that the drop rates are crappy if you chest farm too much. I like to do a quest, a mish and farm with a group for a while and it seems to reset the drop rate a bit.

Thanks guys.

Any builds for THK running will be appreciated too.

@Miko, I will PM you in-game to see thr run. Thanks.

I chest run a ton, with all my characters, monk, ranger, warrior, dervish etc, i run everything, but for outside THK with all the hexes etc, i run with my assassin using the shadow form. Ill post my build tomorrow as i need to go to sleep now. but i dont hardly take damage, and im in the safe if i can break agro in time

I've done many treasure hunts in different locations and many of the tips others have given are true. You need at least two running skills to create some synergy and then some defensive skills. Shields Up! and Balanced Stance work great. As for the areas themselves, here are my two cents...

Kurzick Chests:

I really hate doing these, and even though I've gotten better at navigating the Echovald Forests, a chest run in any area here leaves a bad taste in my mouth. My most common route is going through the gate to fort aspenwood and rummaging around for a chest. However, they are far and few in-between, and there's so much foliage and rock formations around that sometimes I have to go near Lutgardis to get a chest. Too many Onis and Dredge make this a difficult run.

Luxon Chests:

A pure cinch, the best for the pure purpose of acquiring the title. The jade sea is easily navigated and the Oni spawns can be outrun with no problems in the wide open areas. When I run in these places I can usually get up to 3 chests in one run, as opposed to 1 in the Echovald areas.

Witman's Folly:

Usually I get one shiverpeak chest, but it's very easy to do it. I run for these chests if I want some prophs weapon skins.

Vabbian Chests:

These runs offer the easiness of the luxon chests, but the distance of the kurzick ones. Some of the patrols are a bit tricky to overcome, but you can usually find a chest out there with your name on it. Many people getting higher ranks in lightbringer should bring a key or two when farming for points...a chest or two is bound to pop up.

Did around 70 Vabbian Chests today. Most stuff was merched, but salvaged a ruby and a sapphire and some other things are getting PCed on the forums. Not bad at all. Must have had around a 40% Gold rate. Quite easy to run, and anywhere from 2-7 Chests I got per run.

Also started with Witman's Folly, The route I take is:


I start from Droks and make my way around to Port for a final Chest that spawns in that big group of Grawls there. The Azure pop-ups near the other side are very annoying, but my hero-hench team is there to take all their damage

Am I missing out on any areas in that run?

Oh, and I got a Sup Vigor Rune on my 2nd Chest. My first one, awesome.

I usually take the other way around starting from Port Sledge. The chest spawns depend on your start position.
