Im a warrior/ monk with maxed stuff, but i wanted to run to the first 3 chests on the first lvl for some easy money. I was wondering, with the monster formations, is it possible in HM to get to the 3 chest with very little conflict/or none? But i know in the start there is like 2 or 3 charr to kill.

There will be alot of conflict. Those few charr will be the least of your worries.

Just pay a runner 2k to do the dungeon. That way you get all the chest with no work, you also get charr carving, relics, chalices, hidden chest, golds, vanguard rep points, and the end chest, not to mention you get 1.5k back at the end as a reward. I have never paid 2k and not made my money back from drops and the reward.

You will get all the chest you want super easy. You could probably have enough to buy another lockpick after every two runs. This is what I would recommend and its what several people do. Just go to Doomlore and get in a run.

Easiest way to find out, I think, would be to hitch a ride on a dungeon run and see what kinds of monsters the tank ends up attacking. That's probably going to be the opposition that you'll face. From what I recall, it's not just a couple mobs.

chest running isn't exactly the most profitable thing. especially in the overopened chests of CoF ;-) easy chests outside boreal station if ur looking for title points.

The monsters vary a bit, but if you're patient, you MIGHT be able to get away with minimal aggroing

At the very start, there is a group of undead that doesn't move much. A Charr melee - Blademaster or Axemaster, and a group of Charr that patrol along the left wall. If you wait, this Charr patrol aggroes the undead group, and they fight it out. Either during the fighting or after it, you can go forward along the left wall.

The problem is that there is ANOTHER Undead group on the way here, and the Charr patrol might aggro them. Depends on spawns.

I don't think you can avoid these.

In the tunnel/corridor, You've got an undead patrol, and no way to escape them. Stuff they use... mesmer interrupts, things like [Power Flux]. The Derv undead will cripple you. Most groups are diverse enough that you'll also have an Air ele ghost that will call storms on your head.

If you can make it past them, the next undead group can be easily avoided with a bit of quick moving (there's usually a chest in their range, so be careful). Then there are one or two chests, but there are only two patrols that can be easily avoided.
