Bonus coffers with mobs guarding them should be removed from the game

[ZaaZaa]

Skip them, then after everyone exits, run back and tag them all.

Nothing is preventing you from doing this. Unless you just wanted to make a thread and throw the word 'elitists' around for no reason as flame bait.

I don't agree all the time with Ellatrix, but that's exactly what should be done in this case.

Yeah I vote for saving the chests for yourself post-run unless the party members vocalize wanting to get them- more for you that way. I've run WP on SMN in particular quite a few times so that as soon as the other three players are out the door, I pull out my 10k+ HP Titan-Egi tank pet instead of Garuda, and run backwards to the chests with relic parts that no one opened. Titan takes all the mobs in the areas we bypassed (at least some of which are bindable as well if I recall correctly), and if he kicks the bucket for some reason while I'm opening the chests I can just summon a new one. Easy solo chest runs on that class once the bosses are dead and the other party members gone.

I love when there are useful coffers (not potions) left behind. That just means that I can have the contents uncontested later (as long as I remember)!

[Black91CRX]

Yeap!!, get ALL that stuff for yourself.

I ran WP for my Zodiak quest and made out like a bandit. Can you say, NIN,DRG,MONK, BArD,Smn,and Sch. relic starters!! lol I went back thru the DF on heals, the Mobs melt like butter, easy gil.

This! My reaction when I run WP via DF and everyone skips chests because they are in such a hurry.

I've also gotten a few mid level Brayflox rings by doing this.

I used to think that too...till I discovered WP :3

There are often bonus coffers that require to kill a few mobs to get.

They did. If you read their replies carefully, you'll note several of them suggest just soaking the damage, running by and tagging the chest, and keeping right on running. As long as you don't get Heavy on you, you should be fine

[Nova_Dresden]

Nope. They break your hide. Only seems to work in lower levels. Tried it in AK at one point and the moment I was in range got aggroed.

Some things at level 50 seem have a true sight/sound aggro it seems.

This is why Sprint exists.
