How to chestrun with alts (or what to do when you don't have friends)

    Hello everyone,

    It has been a few years now that I'm practicing a "multi alt chestrun".

    What does it mean ? I chestrun with my alts, running together, opening chests together, resigning together.

    Why ? More drops, more challenge, more fun!


    Disclaimer : I do this post and videos to share a method, some people asked me how to, maybe it will inspire some of you and it will be wonderful !


    What will you need to do so ? at least 2 accounts, with the same running chars (I always use sins), skills unlock, armor and weapon set.

    Toolbox is optional but highly recommended..


    Because a video is worth a thousand word (little explanation on how to, and few examples of what's possible) :

    To recap the video :
    Bind on your alts a key to target the party leader
    Bind a key to interact with the target (by default space bar)

    Follow your main, cast your skills, open chest, repeat.

    Display your accounts in a way to see them all at once, and have the same skill order.

    Muscle memory is everything to do it as smooth as possible

    Easy enough ?


    Here are the full runs from the video

    Runs are not perfect, but it shows you examples, it sometimes better to take less alts but have better runs (look at the Urgoz one)

    It's always better to know the run and foes around you (you don't always need to cast SF).
    Start small and grow !

    I'll be happy to answer any question !

    Hey,

    so keys binding are the same as explained (target party member 1, and interact).

    As for the skils, it's simply SF+shroud+IUA to survive, bodyblocking the foes I want to kill and cast snow+chaos storm.

    The difficulty here is to not get rupt, so casting in safe spot, blinding devourers and forsaken horsie.

    Always keep an eye on the alts if they get stuck somewhere, abuse from EE to run together

    (For basic chestruns with no need to cast spells on alts) :


    I think there is a possibility to auto target party leader with TB and the option "Trigger hotkey when Guild Wars gains focus" (1)

    In settings, set "target next object" (or something like that) to a mouse button, with the TB option to open chest without confirmation (2)

    So with your alts you'll just have to clic (2) the new biding (target next object) + space + clic (2) + space and he'll open the chest + pick up the loot

    Add a hotkey to send "/resign" in chat and bind it to an other accessible mouse button or the option "Trigger hotkey when Guild Wars loses focus" (3)


    So it will be something like :

    (1) Target party leader (hotkey) + space (follow him) + (clic (2) + space (select & open chest)) + (clic (2) + space (select & pick up loot)) + clic (or hotkey) to/resign

    Rinse & repeat

    Maybe i'll think of more clic clic clic !


    (Maybe you're already doing that in the videos, can't watch atm)

    HF !!
