That would be sick. Link? I don't see it on their website.

It's not on their VoK site. It has its own site.

Its a bit of a learning curve to find all the VoK stuff(web design is not their strength) but once you get it working its great. It has its quirks but it made playing 6 accounts at once pretty easy.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Its not 45 runes per run, there are multiple chests and more than one chest has runes.

I always run chrono and VON in pairs and i have slightly more chrono runes than VON runes. Im pretty sure chrono has 3 chests at 45 runes each.

Are these in the optional chests? this may explain why I don't know about them. I've only been speed-running chrono for tokens.

There is one epic chest + 3 regular chests IIRC. Ive only done chrono runs with all optionals in a party so i'm not sure which chests are tied to the optionals.

Edit : The wiki says that you get 1 chest for rescuing defenders, 1 for killing sky raiders, 1 for killing the final boss and 1 epic chest on epic. IIRC the epic chest only has the token and no runes, while the 3 regular chests have 45 runes each.

That answers that. I just zerg to the boss for tokens and matts.

So that brings it to 125 runes per run if all opts are done(which is typical since Chrono is mostly ran for XP while leveling).

Of course that still means 10 runs to get an item you can VERY EASILY get in 4, but meh. At least we solved the mystery.

Its 135 actually, but yes. Better to have more chests dropping named loot than only 1.

Well except that chrono loot isn't exactly a hot-ticket commodity. Even fullyupgraded to legendary it can best be described as "not great". I think I've got one C-string character using leg Abashai and Leg Saltmarsh. He's not thrilled.

So lets see I did some digging. You could make Leg Abashai work with leg Knight of the Shadows or Leg Crypt Raider, but none of the Sharn/Soul Shitter sets, unless you're willing to wear the Leg. Gem of Many Facets - which is throwing away an equipment slot.

Then again, Leg Abashai isn't awful in it's own right... now its got my wondering.

Ouch, the gear tetris, she hurtsez.
