Treasure Hunting

[theGrimm]

Since I'm working on my treasure hunter and wisdom titles in a casual sort of way, this coming weekend seems designed for me. Double gold drops from chests? Yes, please.

So, I have about 60k to burn on keys that would have been burned on keys sometime in the future anyway, and my question is, what is the most efficient way to burn that cash given that I want to max both my treasure hunter and wisdom titles?

Also, where's a good place to "run" chests?

Northern Shiverpeaks, Witman's Folly, usually nets me an average of 2 chests per 5 minute run, but the gold drop rate isn't great in normal mode...in the region of 1 in 5 chests are gold (in my limited experience of perhaps 15 runs ). I haven't tried the run in HM yet...

I have rank 1 in both titles, so something under 20% chance of retaining a lockpick...

So...Prophecies hard mode or normal mode, and any good areas to run? (No HM in Factions or NF yet, sadly, and if I try and finish either this weekend, that's no time left to run chests...)

Well for starters your Northern Shiverpeaks plan is flawed in that the chests there will not contribute to your Treasure Hunter title. You must open chests that need keys normally purchased at 600g or more to qualify for Treasure Hunter status.

I'd stick with Nightfall personally, purely because the weapons there have the flexibility of Inscriptions, but really it's entirely up to you.

Did I say north? I mean south, obviously...'cos that's where Witman's folly is. 8)

But you make a very good point about the inscriptions. It will also allow drops of the non-core variety; daggers and spears and whatnot...

Right...anyone know any good chest running locations in NF?

I don't know much about chest running myself. The thing i do know is that on guildwarsguru.com/forum they have some threads about it. It will probably be best for you to find and read those.
