Yeah, I suppose it could just be the folks I've been Cleaving with all these months lol ><

^^ You've made it clear with your description of "how you Fell Cleave" with your runs. The part you're missing is the part about the 2hr boxes during a Cleaving session. I said this part in an earlier post, one doesn't need their 2hr to effectively FC mobs at all, but If you haven't tried 2hr Cleaves from pull to pull, then it's the difference of doing a 1-2 FC vs 2-3+ Cleaves. It can simply save time is all. I said that I prefer doing it this way whenever I get the opportunity, since with that 2hr Cleave you can safely murder far more monsters in 1-2 clean swipes per pull. That's the difference in my example from yours. To reiterate, a 2hr it's not needed for effective Cleaving, but it does save time per pull. I communicate to my party to let me know if they find a 2hr box and then pop'em when I see'em. That's all. The problem comes in when I've murdered 15+ mobs that all drop blue boxes and the one 2hr box in the bunch is hiding amongst the few that no one has checked yet, and there's only 5secs left once someone finds the box. lol It's happened more times than I care to remember. ><

Again, I'll say that your points about the collision are valid, and I don't disagree with the logic of everyone that's checking boxes should have keys.

highlighted the problem for you. The problem is likely more with your chest openers, and less the game mechanics.

Generally, we just open them up until we can isolate the blues. Generally, I really don't even bother destroying the ruby as it is just faster to pop them with a key--being able to macro destruction would trim that up considerably. Once Az/Pe is capped, ruby/ebon is negligible uness you are really trying for feet/KI. Sometimes there is a misfire and we pop a blue by mistake because they are on top of eachother (this goes to the way they drop that needs fixing)--but typically we can open/destroy all but the blue in seconds after a kill. Leaves more than a minute for the one person to check the contents of a handful of blue while the other checks the gold. By the time the cleaver is back with his horde, chests are ready if he/she wants them.

Lately, I've run into a problem where you have to pace yourself too. Seems like everyone is on a cleaving binge. Even SOLOING I have trouble finding targets nearby sometimes. 2 hrs can sometimes contribute to that problem. Had to give up on crabs in Grauberg one day and switch to Monitors because of that crap.
