Hi I'm looking to max my lucky title by running some chests with maximum retain rates.

Anyone know the location of any 50gp chests that reliably spawn near a town? I recall reading about one near Shing Jea in the caves, but can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

I am 130% sure I did not read what you said correctly, but if you mean nearly starter level chests, none of those count toward the title. They are too low level. If I misinterpreted, I will eat a shoe.

If he uses a lockpick and retains it, it will count to the lucky title. You're thinking of the Treasure Hunter title which requires chests that have a key value of a minimum of 600gp.

w00t!, there's a huge chest runner thread in the farming subforum. You might want to check that. I found this in there, so it's a place to start: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...&postcount=601

AlsPals, Starter level chests won't count towards Treasure Hunter title, but they do count towards Lucky / Unlucky when you use picks to open them.

Since I've already maxed both Treasure and Unlucky, I'm looking for a chest that gives me maximum retain, namely a 50gp chest that reliably spawns. That gives me a 95% retain rate, so the best chance at lucky points.

I've found one in the caves just outside of Sing Jea, but it only seems to spawn about 50% of the time. Doesn't seem to be worth my time to run that one, so I'm looking for something else that spawns reliably.

Oh, and thanks for the link BladeDVD! I'd found that thread, but not the post you pointed to. I'll try there and see if it's any good.

Hand me the shoe. I figured you were asking about the other thing.

That is the chest I use to run. It spawns closer to 80% of the time. I was running close to 10,000 lucky points a day there.

Start in Minister Cho's Estate, exit and head left into the tunnels/caves/whatever. There are several possible locations for chests to spawn in and they spawn regularly. Upon opening the chest in the tunnels proceed to the exit and head to the beach. Another chest will sometimes spawn in the forest on the right or along the path to the beach.
