Not to mention suxipo got r9 off one of the titans.

Patience is a virtue, if you lack it, there's no point in you even trying this run. The ability to follow directions helps too

As with all chest running, and solo builds results may vary. I do have patience and I have followed the directions, unless there is more to it that wasn't said.

I must have the worst luck ever. Been doing this for several days now and only have gotten Titan Armors and several crappy mesmer weapons/off-hands.

I got a gold Magma's shield when I did Hell's Prcipice with my warrior with all henchmen, back then I didn't know anything about value so I eventually merched it. It was just some defence mod against trolls anyway

Basicly the Colossal Scimitar build;
Protective Spirit, Mystic Regen, SoA, Shielding Hands, SoJ, Zealots Fire, Balt. Spirit & Blessed Aura.

I could kill some of the Titans, but not enough to make it usefull. Maybe some tweaks in the build

Im Paper nerf Scissor Rock is [fine]

i been running this chest sicne the end of the first week of NF , up until the chest nerf that is , i got aroud 10 inscribable gold magmas shields from over 800 keys , it payed for at least 2 sets of fow + other cool stuff , but i been pissed off sicne the chest nerf , and also poor :P so good to see now that u can make the chest spawn by just pwning the titans, i just tried it with ss and its a bit slow, im gonna use that spoil victor build now from the pic, thanks for the screenie

edit, done quite a few runs now, and i REALLY dont think killing the titans has ANY efect on the chest spawning, the amount of times its been spawning seems about the same as jsut running the chest -_-

Aren't chests supposed to spawn when you enter the map, and not when you kill some mobs?

Chests can be tied to mobs that spawn during quests now. This was a chest run nerf included in an update. Do a search on DoA chest run, plenty of detail on this subject.

Sometimes chests spawn when you reach an area or defeat the mob tied to it. I noticed this in my fow spider runs, the cave would look empty but after killing some spiders a couple of chests would pop up

The titans drop rares as your doing the chest trigger each run, why share them with henchies? Not to mention your henchies are going to make the run take longer due to their stupidity of aggroing extra enemies or making the nightfall titans follow you up the path. Take a look at the screenshot with the h/h team they all dead with the checkmark on spellbreaker

Like I said it takes 2 - 3 minutes per run solo, why be bothered with henchies or heroes.

Always leave with at least 2 keys I've done the same thing multiple times don't feel bad koning.

Necro isn't the only class that can do this.

There's plenty of builds that can do this run posted all over these forums that can solo these types of titans. Or you could create your own.

Soj/smite hex 55/105 monk
W/mes IW
130 hp VoS derv
55hp ele elite of your choice

It's not like this is hard you only have to kill a couple titans, check for a chest, and resign.

You need the quest Holding the line (see link on wiki http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Holding_the_Line ). To make the titans spawn.
I am new in 55 Ne, but I tried it anyways using the skills as used by KCP on page 1. I am having trouble with energy, but I can kill the first two groups in most of the time. I have a few questions though:
- can some1 post the attributes for the NeMo 55 build as shown on page1?

- do I need to be of a certain Lightbringer rank?

- I did some runs of about 2 hours (I'm still learning, I don't think I consider this 2-3 min run though). There was a total of 6 locked chest spawns (4 gold and 2 grapes). I think only 1 is titan related (it was a superior rune.) Four chests spawn before killing second titan group). Whether the other 2 spawned after killing the second group I cannot surely tell because they were located a little further than the torment claws.
My question is, when the chest is located near the torment claw do u guys kill it first and wait for its corpse disappear and then lure the titans near the chest and then open it (thus making it a "titan chest"). Or doesn't this matter?
- do I understand from the above posts that (probably) highest chance of getting a magma shield is from a chest. (With rare exceptions as mentioned above?)
thnx for now.
Only the chest that spawns where the titans spawn will drop Titan Items I think.

I have been running it a while as well and find it's generally 1/3 runs that spawn a chest after killing the titans up until the rotting titan spawns. I have had all reqs of shields drop inc r9 but found normal mode to have the best so far. Runs take 2-3 mins as mentioned before so it's a great farm especially when you get that one drop 8-D

Here's a short video of run from start to finish, both chests spawned. Only the chest down the path where the titan's spawn point is located drops the magmas shields. You will see it appear in the video when the 1st group is killed.

http://files.filefront.com/Magmas_ch.../fileinfo.html

As stated the run should only take a couple minutes to hit the titan chest. After killing the first 2 titans and no chest spawns just resign and start over.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a shiroken item chest can also spawn during this quest, during the shiroken waves.

Not a bad run. I keep getting zonked by Maelstrom once and a while. When those bastards get going, I get hit with 60+ Maelstroms! Makes it tough to cast spells.

I was wondering if the titans in the defend north kryta quest, or the chests spawning in the area may drop them?

Better chance to get a rare magmas shield off the titans in nf, unfortunately there isn't hordes of them like DNKP.

And the 55 CS Farm Build is practically what you mentioned, just remove ZF, and add in Watchful Spirit

So really,

How are you guys dealing with the massive Maelstrom spells getting cast against you? I'm having every other odd run being shut down due to the water titan's spamming of this spell.

-edit-

Found a good way around it. I was using monk primary. So, jacking up curses to 12 lets Spoil Victor do it's magic.

Spiteful spirit and spoil victor kill the titans in the same amount of time on a necro primary if you know what you're doing.

Glyphs, wards, and the snares grasping earth, and frozen burst do not trigger SV. You can finish the run casting 2 spitefuls or 2 spoil victors and 1-2 vamp gazes. You do the math.

I thought it was elementary at this point in the game to not stand in maelstorms and attempt to cast spells

The chest spawn alot sometimes, and other times not at all. Maybe an anti-chest code of some sort, maybe not. Take a break, farm, quest and come back. Thats all I can tell ya. I've had the chest spawn 5 runs in a row before, and have had it not spawn at all for periods of over 15 minutes.
