    I tried a test on the chest today for leve #2, 3 runs with time 2:00m left = black chest still. My thoughts were that the only possible thing that could matter besides time is if you get aggro/get hit or not... so next run I walked someone past the ghosts in front of the first tunnel, walked through the jelly/ghost in the left tunnel and then used hallowed and ran through the rest for them, first gold chest that day.

    I'd also gotten them a gold chest previously where they'd never gotten hit. Final time was about 1:10s on that try. Well just something to think about if people are trying things out for what gives golds.

    Edit:
    Additionally, I tested #3 as well, definitely not time since I destroyed the the maskmaker before a 2nd wave of wolves and someone else I know got 2 waves and still got a gold. I tried letting the npc kill and no luck as well. it's most likely either A) the pld never heals or B) the wolves never hit the NPC.

    Tried #4 later on and found that the order they're killed in has no meaning, the npc's health has no meaning and that the time has no meaning. #4 has me stumped still, I'm told there was a regen active on the little magitek vanguard when someone else got a gold chest though.

    Tying in with #4, #1's east coincutter has a regen effect that appeared when people weren't dmging it and this effect persists until death it seems.

    If anyone else has any thoughts on this it'd be nice to hear because it's a lot of wasted faction points each black chest a person gets (usually)
