Imp City Prison Vault

Purdomination33

I thought you could use the Key Fragments found in Imperial City to open the chests in Imperial City Prison and White Gold Tower? I have a ton of keys on me right now but the vault door says I need Daedric Shackle pieces or something. I swear it's opened before.

Looking for Sheer Venom and Scathing Mage pieces.

How many is tons? You need 150 for every key in that vault.

@DRXHarbinger, I had 10,000 on me at the time. Even the description on the Key Shards mentions ICP and WGT vaults. Annoying as he'll they wouldn't open.

You need 150 key fragments in order to open that vault, as opposed to 60 of them for the 6 vaults in the city. They now stack 200x just like any other item (it used to be 60 but they changed that a while back). But be aware that activating a door will convert all the fragments you have into keys for that specific vault. The keys will be bound to your char's inventory, unlike the fragments, which can be traded. Also in the long run it's not really that advantageous to play the RNG box at ICP vault since fragments go for about 120 gold each on guild stores so you are throwing away 18K gold for each try, either directly, if you bought them or indirectly, as foregone profits. It's more efficient just running the dungeon since the drops are the same. nICP is really easy and can be done by 2 people in 20 minutes or less (can't be soloed due to the levers before the end boss). With 4 people it takes probably 12-15 if you just skip the mobs and go for the bosses. The more people in the group, the better the chances you will get what you need.

My issue was that the vault will not open. Don't care about the economics behind opening vaults vs other ways of obtaining the gear. I had 10k key fragments on me and the vault just said I need 150 Daedric shackles...the descriptor on the Key Shards says 150 can open the vaults. 10,000 is slightly more than 150.

I am wondering why the vault will not open even though I have met all necessary requirements.

Is your inventory full? They tank up bank space when they convert. Bank them so you have just 150 on you and at least 3 inventory spaces.

Honestly I cleared a lot of my inventory before I went to the vaults in anticipation of the new gear. Maybe I will try again tonight. Wouldn't even let me into the Daedric vault itself. Been playing this game for 2 years now so when something simple like this doesn't work properly it is that much more confusing.

Thank you for the replies

You have to pull them out of the bank and carry them in your toons inventory.

@kylewwefan Thank you for the reply. Yes, I had the keys out of my bank and in my inventory. Sorry I know people are just trying to help (as I asked). Was hoping I maybe tried to enter the wrong vault or something. But as far as I know there is only 1 vault in each dungeon. I have opened the chests before...who knows, maybe just glitchy.

If you're having issues opening the vault, and have the necessary key fragments on your inventory when trying to access the door, then I would start an in-game support ticket.

Old vault-specific keys (see list below) are supposed to auto-convert to key fragments when entering the vault itself.

One more thing ... try disabling all your add-ons and trying the vault door again (again with necessary key fragments on your inventory).
