I've started to work on the treasure hunter title, and i was just wondering what place is the best to do this. I have been doing it in luxon territory and has had some success, but i was just wondering what areas, if any, are easier and contain better drops at.

nahpui quarter doesnt work the keys have to cost more then 600 gold per key to get credit for the treasure hunter. The easiest way i see is luxon chests right outside cavalon.

Zos Shivros Channel is even better than Whitmans Folly for me.

My best chest runs have all been in Cantha. I got a 15^50 Celestial Bow, nice Gothic Defender that i sold for good amount of gold and recently got a nice Gothic Dual Axe.

Eternal Grove is good but Perdition Rock is the best by far

No one mention sorrow's furnance?

They drop gold quite often, and also offer a quest that let you pretty much just run all over the place as a slave.

Darkstone's in Pet Rock drop at a ratio of like 9purple:1gold

Port Sledge in Chapter 1... I usually get 2golds per 3-4 chests. though the golds suck.

i think shiverpeaks is easiest. i finished 2 titles from chests there yesterday and most items are junk but i did get a sup vig , 10% axe haft and 2 +5 wands out of the 20 something chests. but the chaos of fow runs is way more fun imo

If you're really going for title and not caring for drops, Witmens Folly is nice 2~4 chests a run and my ratio was 1 in 2.089 was gold, before I started chest farming with 2 chars and gave the gold drops to the main title hunter...

It's pretty much a bad market unless you're in cantha and happen to get a good looking skin like there are any... perhaps keep the gold drops for ppl who want to ID them for that other title.

I agree that if you dont care about drops witmans is the way to go. If you want rare drops, im guessing naphui quarter, and basically anywhere in kurzick/luxon area. If you have the money, I'd have to say FoW. Also, I heard raisu palace has some nice drops, though I dont think its runnable.

Eternal Grove for me, still didn't get a good sellable item after 50 chests though.

Chest running is like gambling. You can spend 500k on keys and get nothing, but you could spend 1.5k on a single key and get rich.

50 chests is nothing.

You'll maybe start seeing profits after 300 chests.
To me ever key is worth 4.29 times the intial cost of the key itself.
(end profit divided by amount of keys etc...)

What do I do with the money?
Buy more keys...

It's gambling indeed

Like stated above, if you have no problem with your bank, you can fow runs. The only downside to this is that it's not always available (damn euros). Witman's Folly is better IMO, because of the cheaper keys, easier to run, always open. The downside is that most of the items are garbage.

Got most of my first hundred in Maishang Hills. Leave from Bai Paasu Reach, trot over to Eredon Terrace, then do the tough bits down to Gyala Hatchery and back to Bai Paasu.

Usually 4 or 5 chests on that run - chest to gold ratio better than 1:3 but not as good as 1:2.

Jade Wands are the new Raven Staffs :/

I also do Witmans Folly runs. 3 chests pretty easy to get to each of them. I average about one gold per run on the chests. I bring as few henchmen as I can get away with (typically 4 since I am a sqishy Elementalists and the grawl like to knock me down) and hit all of the bosses too (4 or 5 bosses in the zone) which also drop golds occasionally.

Mission works also, spawns the same 3 Chests in the same general locations.

You wanna take a screenie of your route. Because I only know how to get to one without fighting things out there.
