Mimic farming, best quests at each level?

[Bolo_Grubb]

I just want to make sure I hit the best quest with the most chances for mimics while leveling my main toon.

I am not really interested in re-rolling a level 4 and farming the same few quest over and over. I am happy to get what I can while leveling my main. So please what quest have the most chest at each level? Are slayer areas worth hitting?

Thank you

I should add my thoughts as to what makes a good Mimic farm. Mostly the number of chest for the time spent. If you know the total number of chest in a quest you suggest, that would be helpful.

Thanks

Anywhere from 5-8 if you can open locks

For Level ~3-6 characters, Durk's has a lot of chests, too, and the travel between them goes fast.

Edit: 4 chests guaranteed, +1 w/ pick lock/Knock, + up to 3 more rare(ish). So 4(5)-8.

Also the first half of Where There's Smoke (Lvl 3). 4 chests (3 w/ hams) + % for rare. Skip everything from there to the end fight and last chest if you want, but that'd be +1 if you have the time.

For base level 20 for epics or level 7 in heroics, I like The Black Loch, as it has 10 chests guaranteed, 11-12 if you get the underwater clam (and are able to kill the mimic underwater) and the rare zombie spawn. Yes, the chests that only give you keys to open doors can become mimics. It usually takes me around 15 minutes or so solo, though others may be faster (so a little less than 1 chest per minute).

For base level 22, I like The Chamber of Raiyum (WizKing) as it gives you 11-15 chests per run. In a good group of 3+ (doing all three towers at once), that's a 5 minute run for 11-15 chests (0-4 randomly spawn throughout, 1 in the foyer containing the scorpion crest, 4 total for the guardians, 1 after Raiyum himself, 1 in basement with the seal of fire in it, 3 normal plus 1 epic in the basement treasure room).

...and for epic level characters, there is no "you're too high to get mimics" in level 20+ quests, so you can be level 30 and bounce back and forth between those two quests and get mimics (just not more than 5 times for each chest otherwise they will mimic-ransack).

Wiz seems better on average at epic then heroic for mimics so far

Shadow crypt has lot of chests

Between 8 to 12 for gears and 3 at end (on elite)

Does the Zombie Train rare in Orchard always show up and spawn a chest? If so, that's a loot, reset, repeat chest for characters in the high teen levels. It also gives tapestries and perhaps shield fragments or tome bindings.

In 3BC, Strinnati always shows up, and the NPC outside the gate can warp you near him. You might also loot the hand cannon, which is usually sought after by level 5-13 artificers.
