El Sabio
like the topic says im looking for the best and fastest area to do chest runs for the treasure-hunter title. gw:en or nightfall would be nice since there are inscriptionable items ^^. do anyone know a good place for doing so? dunno, something like "leave that post and there is mostly a chest in 5 meters" or so. i hope you guys can help me , since you know everything
Darkstar The Legend
Best ones i am using atm are ice cliff chasms, there is normally 1 chest where the wurms spawn, though sometimes there will be no chests and sometimes there are 2 chests.
Fronis irontoes lair is also quite good, 1 chest always spawns there.
Both runs take just over a minute.

Witmans Folly from Port Sledge, 1-3 chests every run, takes about 1-3 mins to run, depending on chest spawn/experience.

I know that there is a whole thread about chestrunning. You should visit it.

This isn't really chest running but if you 600/smite CoF HM you'll run into alot of chests and probably make back the money you spent for lockpicks
ReZDoGG
Level 1 in Cathedral of Flames is actually good for chest running. You can get 1-2 Chest in 1-2 minutes... you barely even have to run that far. I am actually goin to start doing some hardcore chest running soon, and CoF is probably where I will be do my runs at. You can also get Darkwing Defenders from chest in CoF, and other skins that might be worth a few extra gold. Chest running in NF or EotN is best, since you can make money from perfect inscriptions on top of other mods... so in the long run, you can make back alot of money you spend on keys.

thx for the replies, now i got a few questions 
hope you dont mind helping me out again ^^
first @ rezzdog:
do you run the chests in normal mode or hard mode and do you solo them? kinda ursan and just rushing through?
second @ shrouded^god:
do you have a special route you ran or even a special build to do so?
maybe i need to add that i have to run the chest with my necro, since hes my main char who needs to achiev the titel ^^

I ran chests in Gyala Hatchery (Explorable), its a really easy run and you get tyrian style golds which, if you get a good'un can net you tonnes of gold.

And there is no special route, just run out to where the wurms pop up, normally at least 1 chest is there, though sometimes none spawn and occasionally 2 spawn.
Get about 40 chests per hour.

^^ Always do chest runs in NM, so you have alot higher chance of retaining lockpicks... plus that also helps put up your lucky title when you retain a lockpick.

All chest that require keys costing 600gp or more apply to the treasure hunter title...lockpicks=1.5k so yes, even NM chests in Eotn count towards the title.

Thanks for this bit of info, was looking to raise my Lucky, Wisdom and Treasure Hunter titles as well.
I've done my share of Witman's Folly during the double lucky weekend too, 1-2 guaranteed chests. The Cathedral would be a nice change of pace for me, specially for inscriptions to mod BMP weapons and new skins, as well as Superb Charr Carvings (?).

do you guys fight through the CoF ? or rushing to the chests
TarjaTeOrteyn
i personally rush the chest....i use a SF w/a varient build to jus walk right up to the chest that is normally in the first narrow hallway. works pretty well for me...im sure theyre better ways to do it though.

- Witman's Folly always has 3 chests and you can do about 60 chess per hour there on average.
- The other run I would suggest is Gyala Hatchery (explorable) starting from Leviathan Pits. Also about 60 chests/h.
- You might want to read this thread: The Chestrunners Thread.
- I hope you aren't buying lockpicks for 1500g as you can get them in major towns for around 1250g from players.

Just run right to the chest. Like mentioned, there is almost always a chest right in that first narrow passage way. You can usually get two chest in such a small distance away from eachother. If there isn't a chest in that passage way, just scout out around the char in that big room. You can also get 100-200g from treasure chest too if you take LoD... which can add up over time, which brings in some constant profit and lowering price of keys. Good place overall to do chest runs. I've only tried about 10 runs there... so I personally have no yet to take advantage of it, but I will be soon as I want to work on my title again. I need like 400 more chest for Elite Treasure (lvl 5)... and this place would make things quicker and cheaper to achieve my next title.
If anyone plans on spending hours there chest running, let me know how many chest you are able to get in one hour.

Gyala Hatchery (expl) would be nice to up my Luxon faction a bit, as well as cap some skills there.
I do check the Chestrunners Thread once in a while, and yeah I've made the mistake of buying the lockpicks at full price early on. Now I only use what drop for me during HM outings or as GW:EN drops/quest rewards
(and maybe let a friend whose alliance owns a town buy them for me when I do go on a chest-run binge)

Fronis Irontoe's Lair
easy easy run...you can get a chest per run at 1-1:15 mins + merching + watever, I've done about 40-45 chests per hour. Don't expect to get good skins tho... for that I would suggest the CoF runs, chance of Darkwing Defender drop is always yummy. Goodluck with your titles!

I agree. I run Fronis' right now, it's really efficient.. and Kilroy's 50% speed
buff is nice.

The Kurzick FFF has quite a few chests spawn along the paths. The most Ive seen is 6 chests along the route. A FFF run usually takes 4 minutes (solo) , add a lil time to get to the chests.

got another little question , since im near r4 luck title id like to reach it faster for retaining more lockpicks. where can i do the best tut chest? ascalonian, shing yea or something other to get the highest chance of retaining the pick . i thought about it, if you retain 4 keys, you get 1000 points, think about how long you have to stay in nine rings for that lol. so is there a good route ppl use to farm noobs chests? tried to search here and on wiki, but no guide, or im just to stupid -.-
hope you guys can help me once more

Halycon Farming, 1-3 chests Appear pretty much every run(95% of time they appear in same spots), get rofly 1-3k a run from selling junk and alot of golds drop there from them.
Trader of Secrets
Id say u can CR that place that place in Vabbi (fogot the name atm, too lazy to look). Reason is that u got a high chance to retain and u can get gems or gem salvagable items. Most of the time they are rubies.
Done in NM btw.
