The grubby chest, located in Forthos Dungeon, rewards various noted herbs, valuable runes and potions when opened, as well as a variety of other items. Opening the chest requires a grubby key, and the key is used up when the chest is opened. Depending on the price difference between the keys and the loot, it can be very profitable to buy grubby keys, open the chest, and sell the resulting contents.

By taking 3-5 grubby keys per trip, you can open 120-200 chests per hour at moderate efficiency. Taking more keys per trip may result in more gp/h at the cost of less profit per key by dropping less valuable items such as Egg potatoes and Sharks. Alternatively, you can use an alternate account to pick up the leftover items.

Start out by teleporting to Hosidius using Xeric's talisman, go west, and enter the dungeon. Either take the south path with a slash weapon equipped or the west path if you have unlocked the Temple Doors. Lock pick the locked door and open the chest multiple times for each key in your inventory.

When you've used all of your keys, teleport out using your choice of teleportation jewellery, bank the items and repeat. Each trip takes approximately 1.5-2 minutes. Optionally replenish run energy at Ferox Enclave if using a Dueling ring or your POH when necessary.
