LF pro chest runner to teach!

A way to become rich from chest running is to do it over and over and sell bulk unids. Maybe ID the gold runes, as vigors and superior shadow are worth a fair bit these days.

This might not be profitable at first, if you don't have a high retain rate, but it does become profitable later, as well as max your lucky/unlucky titles.

are you going to run chests for money or title? if for money it kinda sucks and takes too much time. for the title forget about those stupid fow/uw chests and all the other crap you ever heard about. just run the solo dungeon in gunners. if you are lucky and fast you can get 60+ chest per hour and all the stuff got inscriptions.

ps: it doesnt matter which class and lvl you are, since you get a skillbar for the dungeon.

i run IN HM with defend droks active (any perma sin build will do) Citadel to springs then run bk to citadel you get 2 chests in demise and 4 in springs.Opened 10 chests last night got 9 golds 1 grape mostly gold titan armors and a few swords

CoF and Brawling dungeon are both good for chest running, also heard that the Snowman dungeon is also good, but haven't tried it for Chest alone... CoF can get you 1-2 chest a/minute and possibly 50-60 an hour if you lucky on the chest spawns. Brawling dungeon I haven't done much of yet, but I am sure it would be easy to run through with perma SF and grab all the chest and restart. Chest running is expensive, and not always profitable. It would be best to chose a good chest running area where you can get a nice skins that is worth alot, and also inscribable weapons. I like running CoF myself since you can get Fellblades and Serrated Spears, which can be worth 20-35k if q9. There are also some other decent skins you can get, Darkwing Defenders and few others... Best thing bout CoF, is the run is really short, and can 2 chest to spawn pretty close together. You also make money from perfect mods too, so you can make profit. But no matter what, you will make some money back from buying lockpicks. Chest Running can be Profitable, but not always. It is a loooong loooong grind, but definately one of the harder PvE titles in game... It can be fun, but yet, it can get boring if you spend more than an hour straight doing runs. Chest Running inscribable areas is always recommended, it definately gives you a higher chance to make more profit than farmin Uninscribable areas such as Factions or Prophecies. Not to meantion, people actually buy inscribable skins, and some can be worth a good amount. Farming Uninscribable weapons will cause you to lose alot of money, with no chance to get perfect inscriptions and extra mods for profit.


My sin is almost rank 6 Master Treasure Hunter (800 more chest), with rank 4 Wisdom, along with rank 3 lucky title (soon to be rank 4)

As for retainment, the higher the better, but of course it takes money to get titles up, which in the long run can be worth it.

Ranger IS a good class for running and chest running (hai almost 90% tyria and 75% cantha), but Assassins are a bit better. 95% invulnerability to anything you can run past with shadow form, with I Am Unstoppable and some kind of regeneration skill (Shadow Refuge) it's basically 99%. I think you can't run in some areas of Desolation solo...

I like running with SF sin minus Glyph of Sacrifice (speccing into other professions). Dark Escape + Feigned Neutrality when SF ends = a decent substitute to an otherwise unlimited godmode.

Here are two of the Perma Sin builds that I use for Chest Running:

================================================== =====

[Build prof=A/E sha=12+3+1 dead=12 box][glyph of swiftness][deadly paradox][shadow form][dark escape][dwarven stability][death's charge][mindbender][feigned neutrality][/build]

This one is good if you don't want to deal with Arcane Echo, but it doesn't have any energy management, but it still works fine with regen. Just make sure you don't use anything that would give you -1 energy pip. This is the one I have been using since SF update. This build is alot easier to manage.

Use Mindbender before Glyph of Swiftness and Deadly Paradox to keep you running if Dark Escape is canceled out. When Mindbender is about to wear off, hit Dwarven Stability, then Dark Escape. Repeat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[build prof=a/me sha=12+3+1 ins=12 dead=3 box][deadly paradox][shadow form][arcane echo][dark escape][dwarven stability][death's charge][mindbender][auspicious incantation][/build]

This build is the same build I been using since EoTN was released. It still works great, and it has really good energy management. Using Arcane Echo can take some time getting used to, and to learn the timing and order of skill usage.

Use Mindbender, Auspicious Incantation, Deadly Paradox, Arcane Echo, and Shadow Form in that exact order. When Mindbender is about to wear off, hit Dwarven Stability then Dark Escape. Repeat.


================================================== ========

Enjoy.

Probably badluck but Blazing wing wands are VERY common, If your going for just cash intrest just get the chests that are next to Terrorweb Dryders, those generally drop the UW items.

FTL Purple Blazing wing wand q13 and broken LockPick

Im doing the run from GoS (hm ofcourse) , 15 picks, 2 normal tomes, 3 elite (rit/mo/ele) and some kinda good golds, but not one thats worth too much.

I'd trade 15picks for Elite Rit, Elite Monk, and Elite Ele tome anyday, The runs not what it used to be because of the loss of value in the items, I ran it back when Q9 Eternal Shields inscriptable were 100k+35e (e @ 5k each) so there was huge profit to be made.

Ran another 15 today, not 1 single elite tome.. its all about luck.

Quote:

Can someone post a SS with a UW drop from a chest near the terrors. i have used 40 pics now and nothing.

Quote:

Well I didn't believe UW skins dropped in NF either, until now... I did a few runs last night with no results, and did a few runs today and here is what I got:






I picked it up when I got it, so you can see that I put it back down for screenshots. q9 eternal bow, wohoo! Got lucky getting a q9 for first eternal skin drop from that area.


Just got something else!

nice run seems it, can you post the map in the chestrunnersthread?

ReZDoGG, I noticed that you are not in HM, are the chest drops the same in NM?

I run HM chests outside zos chivros channel, I seem to get far more elite tomes than anywhere else in GW, + oni stuff, emblazoned defenders, jade stuff ( swords, staves, wands ), platinum stuff if there is a chest near the luxon assassins, and much more, this run alone got me approx rank 3 treasure hunter on my Ranger

Quote:

Yellow dots are possible Chest spawns, Purple dots are oni spawns, when an oni pops up, shadow form up and use dash, easy peasy
A run takes 5 minutes max, and you get 1-5 chests ( average 3+ )

Thnx a lot!

I've been doing the Domain of Fear run for awhile now on my Ele, but I run [Hard Mode] from Gate of Fear. I exit from Gate of Fear, take a left, hug the wall, go through the path and I usually will have one chest real close to the Res Shrine. After that one I'll go towards the area ReZDoGG screenshotted (first two pictures). Of course you are doing this whilst being attacked by a million Torment creatures and Terrorwebs. I'll post a route of my run when I get a chance.

As for UW drops I mainly just get Ghostly Staves.
