Hey guys, only been doing this for about two runs (lol) but I have been chest running the Shiverpeaks for quite awhile. In the past few runs I have gotten:
20/19 Longbow
20/19 Longsword
20% Enchant Sword, with 20% while hexed mod.
Now, there are quite a few purple drops as well, but this has been a pretty profitable enterprise so far. Map of the run (and skills):

and link for those who can't see: http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...geChestRun.jpg
Good luck, and happy treasure hunting

UPDATE: Expect alot or purples too. Don't get discouraged after only a run or two. Also, just got a 15% Stance Icy longbow of Fortitude (29). Wondering, should I salvage for the mod or try to sell? (13 req, so I'm not sure anybody would buy it)

Three keys per run is enough. Also, there seems to be near unconditional spawns near the North-East corner. I have yet to go a run with no chest spawn.

I haven't found very reliable places to chest run in Cantha. I'll post if I see them, but methinks 'tis unlikely.

Smite Hex is really terrible to use for hex removal. You should look through the monk skills again and find something that works better...Sorry I know that's vague, but I'm pretty sure you can figure it out as it's not rocket science.

Smite Hex and Holy Veil are not really needed, only for when you have to aggro the water ele boss to open a chest. Smite Hex is actually the best skill for hex removal in runners, not necessarily so for partying. Having a one second cast prevents interupts, which remove hex is especially prone to. Mend Ailment is not required.

Yah, its not that hard of a run. Just putting it out there for people that don't know about it. Oh, btw, I had a run with three perfect caster golds

but that's quite rare.

Had more golds, but salvaged for mods etc. Too many purples to count. (including a 14>50 righteous maul. weird.)

I'm pretty sure Blues don't drop from Shiverpeak chests..maybe the lower-level chests in Ascalon, etc.

And I bought 6 keys and did a quick couple of runs..

meh.

Its not nerfed, you do have to put more money into it though. Its great to alernate troll farming with this, or alternatively use dont feel no pain's hydra build (but dont get close to crones.) Perfect mods drop like crazy, but as some people have said, you need the money and time to make it worth it. Its also a great thing to get your treasure hunter title with

Also, FoW chest are definitely better. However, you can do this solo and without favor.
