2) Boreal HM: Generally quicker than Lyss but less rarer drops. Only once in a blue moon can you get a serrated spear. Tome drops are common.

3) Kilroy HM/NM: Boring run, and very bad reload times.

4) SoO HM/NM: Farmable using perma, start at Sparkfly and go to Vlox entrance (and slightly past it to gate), rezone in Vlox, and repeat backwards.

5) Bogroots HM/NM: Use two accounts for this. First account is idle in lvl1. Let second account chest run whole of lvl1, its pretty easy with perma. Kill some rit bosses for fun if you like chance at elite tomes. Then have account 1 rezone to sparkfly.

6) Domain of Fear HM/NM: Ghostly staff/,magma shield farm, everyone knows this. Easiest with perma, but war/monks/others w/remove hex can also do it.

Tip: Use 2 or more accounts and load them on same map, while running chest on just one account. There is a small chance you can get lucky and get 2+ elite tomes drop.
From Farming -> Chestrunning thread..

My personal favourite is The Ice Cliff Chasms from Boreal Station ^^

I also like Boreal, just because it is by far the easiest. You don't even need to pay attention. Drops are crummy, but, eh you aren't really chest running for the drops anyways.

Witman's Folly...be a man, run chests in knockdown town like Marshall would. Seriously though it's 3 chests every time and a full run takes less than 3 minutes.

Do chests spawn more often in HM or why people are running it in HM?
I have 60% retain in NM and get the same points as in HM opening a chest, y/n?

Elite tomes drop in HM, and not in NM.

Boreal Station is only good if you run it in HM, been looking for a good spot in a NM for ages, so far it seems CoF is fastest (imo, with Perma SF runner build).

just cause i feel bad for op for the badlets on guru always giving totally piss poor suggestions.

that being said you will never ever ever profit from opening chests, ever. you'll always lose money for the title. wouldn't make sense if you didn't.

the only difference is you lose a little bit running in normal mode, but lose a huge assload running in hard mode. unless you really like elite sin tomes.

enjoy reading through 23 pages of bullshit!

Better chance for a gold item/tomes on HM.

I'm running Witman's Folly on NM, easy, fast, 2-3 chests a run.
