Ghost in a Chest

This short forum is about gold chests, key chests, and finding dead ghosts. To save time a lot of Youtube vids will be posted here. Gold chests differ from normal chests as they have set loot. They are also limited to five, currently, to each planet/moon. Earth → 5 total Moon → 5 total Venus → 5 total Mars → 5 total Dreadnaught → no gold, but several key chests This set loot is based off of the time/level you should of found these. A max level toon will not benefit as much from these chest as a level 3-15. Two items a max level will get out of finding these now: (1) Strange Coin and (1) class specific sparrow. You get the coin on Mars and the sparrow from Earth. Below is the video from Youtube that is very well done. If starting a new toon this would be good to watch so your toon can benefit from these chests. The creator uses missions to go and find these chests and his logic makes sense by using quest markers, but I will note that all, but maybe one or two can be found on patrols. One would be the last chest on the moon. You will have to do the strike to get into boss room, as this is the only time it opens. But it is quick and painless, 15minutes with a good team. On Mars one chest is located in the subway area. The mission takes you right to it, but if you are like me and patrol for it, it will take some time. One silver lining to this is I had the Vex ultra and champion bounty the day I went looking for this chest and the outer court of the subway has five of these guys and spawn rates are high. Not to also mention the Taken were attacking and I was able to fulfill that bounty as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLVhOO8P-kE&index=1&list=PLaaUtW5k8Du6Dhqz1Qtf69dRtC2L-RLwA

    Let's talk Dreadnaught. Since most of the action is happening or related to this area in the game I feel it time to talk about farming the Hadium needed for the heavy sword. I know that a few of us with the weapon already have used our own methods, but I would like to share mine. If I used the link properly it should lead to a map of the Dreadnaught. If not just google it. You need a few things before you go and get the sword. First → Complete and beat Oryx in the new TTK quests. Second → Do a lot of talking and back and forth work in the Tower, Eventually Eris will give you quest for Shaxx. Third → Farm Hadium Fourth → Check which sword you want. You will need other mats as well to complete this. So farm mats if you still need them Fifth → Turn in 25 Hadium and all other mats into Shaxx. Depending on your element needs or wants, the swords will fit you how you make them as you progress and enhance them. Personally I went Arc since I have seen a lot of solars and voids. Questing and farming the other mats should be a no brainer. So I will talk the method I used to farm the Hadium. Remember you need 25. First you start at the Breach. Here you see the damaged Cabal ship and two other pathways to other areas of the Dreadnaught. In this area there are several spawn caves and key chest caves. Later we will discuss the key chests, but inside with these chests are normal chests. Up by the Cabal ship there are a few spawn points around the battlefield and just inside the ships hull, there are spawn points. I do not recommend farming in the ship. I personally found nothing in there, but mobs. There is a path that runs along the ruined ship. This will take you to the Mausoleum, or should you run the ship, the ships exit is into the north part of the Mausoleum. If you did the quest for Oryx already this is the portal room you need to become "ascendant" before entering. In this area are more caves, key and spawning. In one spawn cave there is a hole in the wall that leads to the maggot chest. Above that is a ledge where three different chest spawn. In the court area itself there are several promising spawn points. All the way from the Cabal ship to the portal itself. From here you can take the western entrance back to the Breach. I would do a figure 8. Start at the Breach and go north. There is a key cave and a few spawning caves. Look in these areas. Then move up to the Cabal. Check their storage areas on the battlefield and just inside their ship. Then move your way back east to where the Hive are attacking on the cliffs. Over there are a few more spawn caves and up by the south eastern entry is another key cave. Check these areas. Then move northeast back along the Cabal ship into the Mausoleum. Go north to the Cabal ship back entrance, giggity, and sweep your way back south towards the portal check all your corners, pillars, and under passes. Then look for the few spawn caves and key cave to see if any chests are in there. Then back sweep through the entry you came in. Rinse and Repeat. Each chest drops one Hadium. You need 25 for the sword and while you are at it gather wormspore. This is important for high end upgrades later. Another simpler method is to just stay in the Breach and farm all the caves, key caves, and even the Breach field has chests spawning in them. In fact the first Hadium chest I found was as soon as I spawned into the Breach and it was right there in the field by some Hive Knight. If you feel like being adventurous, you can break the circle farming, but I will say in the Cabal ship, the Founts, and the Asylum there are not many chests. As you transition from area to area you will enter an area called the Hall of Bone I believe, which leads to the Court of Oryx. The Court is the really red room with a center bridge leading to statues and the green goop platform in the Hall of Bone. This will damage you and is a event location. Besides that this center platform has the key chest Gnashing on it, the pathways surrounding the platform will have wizards, knights, and taken on them. Check these ledges as I have found a few chests here. Past the platform is an area the hive are just patrolling. You can find some chest here as well. Post if anyone has anything about this.
