Hello there, I recently finished up a list of most of the easy to access chests and jump puzzle chests co-ordinates, based heavily off of the work of several other people here. It includes the most recent ones that were brought in new updates (Not so Secret, Troll's Revenge, etc). It also includes every permanent platinum node, the only permanent orichalcum node in Sunset Cove, as well as a few suggested orichalcum node spots in Eternal Battlegrounds near the Obsidian (they rotate between 1,2 & 3,4)
This run starts in Metrica Province and goes through every single map without usage of waypoints or walking through portals. Chests guarded by monsters are noted and are advisable to skip if you don't have gear or stealth.
Recommended to have at the beginning of the run:
- At least 4x12 slots, preferably 4x18 slot bags
- 100 Oricalchum Mining Picks (Preferably more)
- 75 Basic Salvage Kits
- 25 Master Salvage Kits or 250 Mystic Salvage Kits
So after completing this run, you're guaranteed the following:
- 2 Rares (1 from SW chest, 1 from LA Revenge)
- 2x Blade Shard (for ascended back piece)
- 8x8 platinum ores, 7x8 iron ores, 3x3 orichalcum ores, 2x3 quartz crystals
- tons of luck essences
- tons of fine, masterworks (easy silk)
- some wvw plans and badges
And of course a shot at exotic and legendary precursors if you get super lucky.
It's recommended to salvage every rare with master/mystic salvage kits, and everything else with basic ones. Don't salvage leather fine/masterwork as they're worthless on the TP and just NPC them. Most chests also come with baubles that can be vendored for 1s or 10s respectively, so a run usually ends up being about 5g and takes only 20 minutes or so to run if you use hotkeys.
Some notes:
For this point - [CChest 06 - 23454322311286]
That's the order you play the organ in, you'll be rewarded with a nice organ rendition of the GW2 intro theme and a chest.
For most points with Veterans, I highly recommend bringing a skill with stealth or invulnerability. Start opening the chest and going into invul/stealth means you can open it without being interrupted by Veteran/Champion.
