post your faverit place to chest run and how many tressurer points you gain each hour.
my own favorite is witmans folly, gain between 48 and 52chest/hour

you can add places u think is fast and if u like a rute for it, going to do all the most populary chest running places to find the fasted, the faster for ranger at last

here the places im doing chest run. going to add a new place every other day, with how many chest per hour. also counted the time it take to merch it. to show you where its best to run

Proph:
witmans folly. between 48 and 52/hour
boreas seaboad. between 55 and 58/hour
gyala hatchery. between 46 and 49/hour. got a new rute 59-65 hour. its posted below
meldrues hope. 28-34/hour
ice cliff chasms. 44-55/hour

for added maps, a red mark means its a place with high chance for a chest there. a green mark means that the place i press /resign when i reach it if no chest in sign by then.
the blue line is my own rute.
if u can make maps like this one and post it here it woud be a big help

i think the jade area may be best as cheaper keys if you have a friend in the alliance.

After thought I realized I should not have ranted there to the degree I did,but it is an ass burner when all you have to say is"Didn't you see this(insert wiki/thread link)?".Basically you contributed nothing when someone is just asking for a little help. No problem if someone asks for a link or a question or whatever that he cant find here. I understand many of the new players dont even know about wiki.
But.
I dont know if you had realized, but there is a thread about chestrunning in the same subforum (not another site, not even another subforum, exactly the same, also stickied to avoid useless threads). YOU DONT NEED any experience in the game to see The Chestrunners Thread topic.

YOU DONT NEED any experience in the game to see The Chestrunners Thread topic. Yeah as an afterthought I saw that thread,but it really doesn't address some of the questions.Pretty much all I see is "HM Chestrun". Not all of us are in HM.Raising the gold for items and armor upgrades(inscriptions and runes) for one's self plus one's heros can be a daunting task.Then you hit an area where the only key is a lockpick at 1.5k a pop really digs into your wallet so to speak.A Newcomer(or Noob if you prefer) really needs to know"Where can I go to raise money to outfit my group?"Chest running is VERY IMPORTANT.It gives you titles and items plus the ability to raise the gold.But you really need to know why you are hitting a certain area,what your expected reward is going to be,and lastly what will it cost?This way you can balance what you are spending as opposed to what you are getting.Seeing the Sabway build and other farming builds is nice,but what if you like a certain style of play?It does suck when you are stuck to "This is the build do it or go away!" kind of area.Now I'm not oppsed to cookie cutters or other things,but before I take time n gold to devote to an area I really need to know,what can I get from there?

HM builds work in NM as well
Btw, newcomer and noob is not the same. Newcomer=new player, noob=idiot, plus he/she cant even play

Cathedral of Flames can be really good. You can get 1-2 chest per minute, mostly 2 a run... and possible to get 60+ an hour. I never actually kept tracka nd counted how much I can get an hour, but its a great lil place to do chest runs. Get alot of Fellblades and other goods there as well. Best thing about it, it is one short and straight running route.

No, I didnt call anyone a noob. Terrokian called himself a newcomer in GW, I was referring to that (and told him noob and newcomer is not the same ).
Gz on your r6 btw. I cant really find fun in chestrunning since the nerf, before that I had always run witmans folly as its the fastest way. Now you get 9/10 purple there, and even golds are crap

Now you get 9/10 purple there, and even golds are crap thx. no chest running aint fun, but only other way to get the 30 maxed for me woud be to hfff and buy party pts for like 180/pts, and that woud suck, rather have a cooler title even threw its cost some more, well alot more.
bout aint getting 9/10 purple, after u sad it i tryed to take 50 chest there, and ive got 23 golds. and lost my first lockpick after 6 chest, a good stat i belive . the more a place is over farmed the crappyer the chances of getting a gold.

Also a nice thing for title is to open the first 1 or 2 chests outside Boreal station NM and then /resign.

Its boring but yielded me 53 Points in 1 hour, 19 gold drops, 19 LP's broken.

witmans folley is and always has been my favorite chestrun place. you can do NM or HM with minimal difficulty, it just requires a bit of timing with shadowsteps. i did my 10,000 there.

you can get a very rare hammer there that only drops from grawl in prophecies. (so rare most people dont even know about it)

plus its very fast if you know the route and have a ranger or sin with the right skillbar. i once ran 600 chests in one day there. back on the 2x lucky weekend before the update. any class can do it, but ranger and sin are fastest because of the 50%-33% runspeed. you can spam dash on recharge with 33% as it runs out, which i believe is the fastest you can run in guildwars. check the chestrun thread for details, i posted some stuff there
