The chests are always in the same position, the guardian chest will randomly spawn in small/medium/large sizes with a chance of up to 3 chests per guardian camp.
All 3 civs of AOEO online can farm the chests pretty quickly, average about 3 minute per run. Each run will drop at least 3 chests or more. The chests are all lvl 35 and doing the quest in elite mode will not change the guardian chests' reward level, it will only change the reward level of the chests you get when you complete the mission.
Advisors:
Age 1 - Net Maker Aapep or Miner Kleon
Age 2 - Infantry Sergeant Heraleides or Archer Sergeant Timon
Age 3
- Pezhetairoi Commander Tumerok for Greek
- Nekhbet, Protector of the Lost for Egypt
- Horselord Saivash for Persians
(basically we are looking for cost effective fast moving units, others can also work but will just get you less chests per hour)
Age 4 - Doesn't matter as we will never get to age 4.
I'm not doing this perfectly in any of the 3 vids, used wrong advisors in a couple of places too. You're right i wouldn't have needed the market here, i have lots of pez left even after killing a heavily guarded camp on this run.
I build a market because for Persian or for people who use lower advisors they might need to sell the wood and stone. I use epic advisors in all 3 civs which makes it a bit easier.
If ppl enjoy farming they can do it better :) I don't actually farm at all.
