Talk:Chest run

Except for unlocking weapon upgrades, I still totally fail to see the use of opening chests. But thousands of players DO open them, so there must be something about them hehe. --Xeeron 19:10, 9 March 2006 (CST)
 * It's really very simple, and quite possibly a direct extension of a question I asked earlier this week: Crystalline Swords. Higly coveted, extremely profitable, found only in chests. Need I say more? --Bishop 22:20, 9 March 2006 (CST)

Oh dear God. This thing is popular in ToA now? I guess I'm so glad I finished the Fissure quests long before the farmers took over the PvE game. I suppose finding a regular team, even if they are totally faking it with the book trick, is nearly impossible? Has it killed the FoW like the invincimonks killed the UW? 22:13, 9 March 2006 (CST)


 * I am known in my guild as the keymaster. I always have 10 or more of every high level key (shiverpeak, miners, phantom, obsidian, maguuma, and kryta). I have found many golds from Kryta in the Southern end, which is why I still buy those. I have found some of my best loot from chests. Just last weekend I opened a Shiverpeak chest and found a req. 8 waraxe 15^50 10/10 AP +5 defense. Its now in possesion of my newest Warrior, Agrias.
 * Opening chests is a gamble. But chest runs do not seem to be that profitable. Like the article said, you miss out on the dropped loot, which at times can be better than what is in a chest. I'm guessing these people just break even or maybe a little more, but its by far an effective "get rich quick" scheme. --Gares Redstorm 23:10, 9 March 2006 (CST)
 * I bought a dozen shiverpeak keys a while ago, just used the last 4 today, i got a 15^15 axe ^^ 23:44, 9 March 2006 (CST)
