am i lootrunning wrong

so everytime i search for best emerald grinding method i hear lootrunning but whenever i try it it feels like im just getting like 1-3 emeralds per chest and like 1 unidentified unique so idk if im doing something wrong or is it just normally this slow

 

Are you using Loot Bonus and Loot Quality?
Chests might have been opened recently as well

 

lootrunning isn't for the emeralds in the chest
its for mythics
ings and stuff are just a side thing
you need lq gear and stuff for mythics

i dont know anything about lr i just know the theory, never done it and never will

 

yes (you are opening chests people already opened (the game never tells you about it (it is healthy)))

 

You should use a server thats been up a while as those seem to have generally better loot

 

The amount of good loot in a chest depends on mostly four things.

1. How much time has passed since it was last opened by a player. (The longer whithout someone opening the more loot)

2. The amount of loot bonus you have.

3. The amount of loot quality you have.

4. The tier of the chest which can range between tier 1 up to tier 4.
