Used to chest run there heaps with a 55 monk. A chest almost always spawns in the lava at the point where all those portals are. Worst part about chest running there is Wild Blow. Take note of it's recharge and time your stances accordingly. 
I would also open chests near the Wraiths aswell. You never know . . . those swamp club rumors could be true

Once it was discovered they removed the swamp club once and for all. Probably because it shared its skin with too many other weapons and the name didn't fit the skin. It was a hammer never meant to be.

I rarely have to worry about wild blow & stuff.
I have this bar, with r10 everything:
Then I use heroes. All my War/Paragons have: Either Charge or Incoming, Fall Back, and a few other support shouts. Rest are monks for quick heals. Sometimes I bring spirit spammers for more bodies, or blinding eles. I prefer War/Para/Monks though.
Even if they remove my stance, I can usually just run away with shouts. If that fails HoS is amazing for escaping mobs if you use it right.
No luck yet on the shield but I'll keep hoping for a dual modded q9 haha. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get one before GW2 comes out. I'd say that gives me a few years the way it's been going
Edit:
I didn't know you could get rit staves in proph. Is this normal?

Well, I very much didn't expect this so soon.

Congratulations on the shield, I ran there far too much and never even sniffed one 
You could probably sell it either way (Merchant likes crap mods) Or for a laugh open a thread with a poll asking the question?

As for the shield, I'm gonna try & test it before I ID it. I assume testing unids still works?
Edit:
Well, I checked it and it did not give me any + HP with it on, enchanted or in a stance, so I figured it wasn't going to be what I was looking for so I went ahead & ID'd it.
Wasn't expecting the dwarves mod but it seems to be merch food regardless.

Map on the mineral springs.
You'll find Shiververpeaks chest.
If you have the first quest "defend droknar's forge
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Defend_Droknar%27s_Forge
you will find some titans chest.
This spot isn't really good ~8mn/3-4 chests
Have fun & peace

I've recently started collecting emblazoned shields, so I figure I'll end up chestrunning for them a decent bit...
Any experienced chest runners want to suggest a route that's given them a good number of these? I know generally where they drop, but I'm wondering if anyone has more specific experience in routes.

Found one some time ago in southern part of Silent surf, so jade sea chests (surrounded by carps, leviathans and all that crap). Good routes? Probably Silent surf as said, and gyala hatcery (from leviathan pits all the western side of the map is that kind of chests iirc).
But is a quite rare drop anyway, so don't expect them to be so frequent sadly.

Dont know if anyone will find this useful, but i quite like this run and dont think its that well known. I present, my Stone Summint run ^_^
Yellow dots are basically the chests with most likely hood to spawn, green spawn some times, and blue ones spawn hardly ever and are very unlikely to even be stone summit chests.
Each run is about 2-2:30~ mins and quite straight forward. I do it in NM, and tried it in HM, but wow, it really was hard haha xD
Get some good drops, and for me, awesome retain rate!
Im mainly doing this run in the hopes of a lovely oldschool Warlord Shield, but my hopes arent that high
I hope you like it!

this is the RT1/2 run for MQSC (Mount Qinkai) start from Aspenwood gate, you get 1-3 chests on this route, I do a lot of mqsc and i see them drop frequently (all crap mods offcourse
)+ the top route (see gw.pvx) the yeti route has chests that can drop Paper fans (in 100+ mqsc runs i got 2 fans here both mono mod
) + the beach route (gw pvx) has a outcast chest 25% of the time which can drop outcast shields/staffs

Make sure you have more kurzick faction than luxon
Grab your Para heroes and equip Incoming or use a SF sin runner
Go into rheas crater from Aurios Mines.
Get yourself killed.
You will now rez in the middle of the map with Outcast groups around you and 0-2 chests spawning in the area.

Regardless of which heros you bring chances are they will be dead by the 2nd bridge anyway, assuming you are running and not fighting. Post your build, armor and equipment and maybe we can figure out why your having troubles?

That could be possible ;p
the only chestrunning i have done in the past is pogmei NM and the outcast run mentioned above, and these are not hard at all.
This is what i am using in Hell's:
I'm wearing full blessed armor, and i bring 7 hero's (3 W/P and 4 P/any) all with fallback and Incoming/"Charge!".
If any1 got any ideas to improve it please tell me, i would realy like to spent some time chestrunning, because it is a perfect break from studying.

I also Take Dash over Death charge but that's my preference as mobs break easier with it-especially if you've pulled a good Load(Yea i realize there's stance removal, Just be smart using it)

tbh, i run hells on my ranger...the vs ele damage bonus is key and i use pyrebound armor, plus using stormchaser gives LOTS of energy (all ele damage, except the cold damage from the necros)...anyway, i would incorporate the stormchaser into a sin build as well, so just go A/R using your bar and sub stormchaser for say death's charge...which i only use to get past potential titan bodyblocking on the 2nd bridge. IAU is another key skill for getting in and out of the lava quickly and you got that one so cool. Use a -2/ench, 10/fire shield as well and you should be gold.
edit: why run pongmei on NM? It's a walk in the park in HM and that way you'll at least make your money pack, plus some by getting elite tomes (if you're worried about losing $ breaking picks). I've never come out of pocket for picks since my first 100k investment for picks, taking into account tomes/elites/golds. Fwiw, this includes the fact that I sell most of my unids except for some q9 skins and most shields (I only run in areas that drop uninsc stuff)

Anyone here ever gotten iridescent or diamond aegis from chests? Recently started chest running in pongmei valley, done some running in rheas crater and morostav trail as well and I made a list of things I want to find. After about 1,5k chests haven't seen them. I think that they should drop from the chests near am fah and jade brotherhood and I've heard its possible to find them from kurzick chests as well. So anyone here have had any of these drop?

I'd take HoS > Feigned Neutrality though. HoS is pretty cool to get head starts and is a strong heal.Quote:

Got 2 Iridescent in Drazach Thicket (near kurzick warrior)
Got 1 Iridescent in Boreas Seabed (near luxon assassins)
Got 1 Diamond in Raisu Palace
Started chestrunning like 5 years ago. so might have forgotten few drops tho...
Got em all in NM btw....
So the droprate is rly rly low! best chances to get them is near HUMAN foes... like luxon/kurzick army or am fah / jade brotherhood.

Feigned Neutrality > HoS when u run throu lava in the end near those 2 or 3 warrior titans spawning
at least thats what i think!
u should run with what u feel more comfortable

I had an iridescent aegis drop in Pongmai a while ago, I think it dropped from a jade brotherhood chest in HM. They're very rare indeed.

hehe true the pve skills are pretty nice for running aswell.
but most chestruns take 4-6minutes so u'll at least need 2x3min alcohol... so u'd pay 500-600g/ea run for the skills...
not worth it for poor ppl like me
