FoW - Chest Running (Guild Wars gw)
November 7th, 2007Hi there,
This is most likely the most profictable way of getting large amounts of money within Guild Wars, though it requires some investment.
Chest running is exactly what it means, runs towards chests, in this case, Fissure of Woe. We all know that some of the nicest drops are in Fissure of Woe, the trick is running from chest to chest (chests respawn randomly, and each key costs 1.5K) and collecting the goods.
Here's my Warrior/Monk Build for it…
Attributes:
STRENGH: 14
Tactics: 13
Rest of points wherever you want.
Equipment:
Sword/Axe with +30 health mod
Shield with health bonus [ I use Victo's or Grognar's Defender (stance) ].
Gladiator Armor
Runes: (doesn't matter)
Superior Absorption
Superior Vigor
Skills:
1. Charge!
2. Sprint
3. Balanced stance
4. Endure Pain
5. Healing Signet
6. remove hex
7. Remove Conditions
8. Rebirth
Usually it's good to go with full party for several reasons:
- cheaper (125g each)
- you can get chest scouts (if you dont want to get the risk of spending a key to get purple)
- diversion and avoid that foes concentrate fire on you
Like I said before, the main goal is to rush from chest to chest, try pressing ALT once in a while to check where they are (usually every run you can get 3 chests).
What you can take from it: chaos axes, shadow shields, shadow blade's, shadow bow's… plus minor stuff…
Usual prices for req 8 UNIDENTIFIED:
- Shadow Blade, chaos axe, fellbade -> 40K's
- Shadow Shield's, shadow Bow's -> 15K's…
Usual prices for req 9 UNIDENTIFIED:
- Shadow Blade, chaos axe, fellbade -> 30K's
- Shadow Shield's, shadow Bow's -> 10/15K's…
If you get lucky and IDENTIFY something like a perfect (perfect for me means low req, 7 or 8 and maxed bonus, i.e. 15%^50% or whatever) chaos axe or fellblade, you might from one minute to another get 100/200K's for it…
Plain lottery
