Hello all, this guide is for running Whitman's Foley, located outside Port Sledge. Port Sledge is just below Droknar's Forge in the Prophecies campaign.





The Build


Ive ran with alot of friends, almost any running build works, but what you will need is:
* Running skills(Duh)
* Anti-KD(Popups use SoJ, and theres alot of them)
* As few enchantments as possible(Grawl Crones can strip)
* Condition Removal(Crones poison, and the ranger boss psn+bleeds)
* Hex removal(ele boss in popup area has mind freeze and thats no fun)






The Run


Follow the path on this map. I have come across as few as one and as many as four or five per run, it all depends. As for the middle area, i'm sure chests spawn in there, but so do about 355,294 grawl so let's just avoid the hassle eh?

Also, if you die, no big deal. There's a res shrine at the end of the run. Backtracking will get you where you need to go







The Loot

I do my runs by first buying 20 lockpicks, then running till im out. Selling the loot, rinse and repeat. you can do it one entry at a time. Whatever floats your boat.


This is an example of one of the lower end lots i got

I ended up loosing around 10k on this, but thats selling all the golds as unid's. However, ID'ing and selling mods might yield a better profit...idk.


And this is definitely one of my best runs

4 elite tomes, one normal tome, 20 golds, and 5 purples. I only have Rank 2 Treasure hunter, yet i retained 10/20 lockpicks. I've had several runs yield 2-4 elite tomes, and usually get at least one. That coupled with the unid's being sold usually gets me at least my 25k back. This particular lot got me close to 70k. Not bad for 20 minutes of chest running. :)






Notes

As i said above, i run with friends when the opportunity arises. Being a night owl however usually leaves me taking heroes/hench. I take the 3 warrior heroes with charge/fall back, never surrender, and some utility skills. both warrior and both monk hench. They prove to be great meatshields. Also, I much prefer running with other people, if you want to run with me pm me. My ign is Hacking Hippie. Happy chest hunting.

Interesting, but I think this is a well known place.
Maybe you could have also given us some bars, except for the D/A in your screenshot.
Just my 2c.

very interesting :)

hope a elementalist can run this to with the right skills

  Hardstrike on 12/02/07 16:32

Im wondering, do elite tomes drop in every HM chest? and whats the ration? cause i prefer the boreas seabed run ;) done that one 400+ times. also got Expert treasure hunter (4), but this sounds interesting. I might check it out some time ;)

Hardstrike

  HackingHippie89 on 12/02/07 16:58

this can be run by almost anything the d/a runner is an extraordinarily common build...also for it being a "well known place" ive seen only 2-3 other runners in the few weeks ive been doing this so i figured the guide might insight some more popularity

great inferno...for ele id try the E/Mo flag runner build with SoR, take out the hexes for I Am Unstoppable to counter KD and some other utility skill, maybe aura of restoration as a cover enchantment

and hardstrike...yes, tomes drop from any HM chest, i dont know if drop rates differ but since the guide ive upped to 50 picks per run and usually pull in 5-6 tomes, id say 1/10 is a good ratio at least for this area, i plan on getting to boreas seabed and giving that area a try ill see if the drop rates seem to be to different

  smokebam_07 on 12/02/07 17:02

does the loot pay for the money for lockpicks?

sry should of read through before i ask

  HackingHippie89 on 12/02/07 17:33

except for a few rare occasions i almost always get at least what i spent in picks back

  Blazings on 12/03/07 01:47

Oh sweet my Dervish has those skills for IDS farm (wich was nerfed with HM). I might try this although I've never chestrunned before. Don't like to pay money before I get it back you know =P (one of the reasons I don't go to the UW solo. Afraid I might die and waste money - yeah that's pathetic).
Good job in doing this guide though! I guess hippies rock xD

  Blazings on 12/03/07 02:01

Sorry for double post but:
-What's skill 7? Hope it's not EotN cus I don't have that expansion. Is there any other skill you recommend instead?
-Too bad you didn't ID that fellblade, could be a nice drop =D

~Blazings

  HackingHippie89 on 12/03/07 08:43

the 7th skill is the Norn skill I Am Unstoppable. it lasts 20 seconds and prevents kd and cripple, i mainly use it for when fleeting stability is about to run out and im still under VoS but using deaths charge in its place should be fine actually....deaths charge may be much more beneficial, ill try it out

  miss healing monkey on 12/03/07 10:11

Nice guide , though sometimes a chest spawn almost at entrance from droks
veri nice guide and nice drops

  DarkNshY on 12/03/07 13:01

Before the chest verf - all players could get purpel and gold form same ´chest - this palce died. Before that there used to be 1-3 German districts full of chestrunners and UNID sellers.
So yes it has been a VERY common chestrun spot.

  HackingHippie89 on 12/04/07 11:50

that was in the past and mainly for unid's if you were to look around international and american districts before i posted this guide it was absolutely barren

  SimonSez on 12/05/07 01:15

got any elementalist version? :)

  lemsurf on 12/07/07 14:36

i might buy a few pics and try it on my ranger.. =D if it works out, ill post a build in the comments as well as what i get from say.. 10 pics?

  lemsurf on 12/07/07 15:28

ok, i only had enough for 9 pics so:.. i got a few golds (around 5) about 5 purples, and a sup vigor and a normal mesmer.. non of the golds were sellable so i sold the sup vigor to 13k, made a..+/-3k gain. not bad for a little bit of running =D! and i think it was a bad run because the drops were rly rly bad xD the buid i used was not verry good as i dont have any eotn skills on my ranger so the KD's killed me a few times (but i think using escape as the elite, a fe more running skills (used dodge and the copy of that) and prot spirit, combined with "i am unstoppable" will be perfect for a ranger =D hope this helped =]

  skilz that pwn on 01/02/08 17:36

  Major Hinata Fan on 01/05/08 00:06

whats skill 3 and 4? and is there any other builds that could be sued for this run? though i'ma try this 1, and wep recomends or anything?

  the xx dervish king on 01/05/08 04:17

What weapons are u useing? I'd like to run with u as soon as my derv gets through the ring of fire missions!

  thrakos on 01/07/08 21:37

  Joshua Ed on 05/30/08 10:47

Damn, I wish ele's could run... and I'm not making "Another" runner dervish. I might dream up a Ele Running build and try it out... never done a cheat run before XD
