Undaunted Gold Keys - When to use them?

Ljungstroem · August 2015

Hello Everyone,

I am a huge fan of doing dungeons, and me and my team have quite mastered many of them and find most of the undaunted pledges easy and fun to do.
Now since I am not a V14 yet but still V13, I have been saving up my keys, so I could use them all when I was maxed out.

However now with the soon IC realease, I am wondering if it would be worth to wait till I reached the new max which would be V16 or I should just go ahead and use them when I hit V14?

I am looking for any advice regarding this, and also if anyone knows if the armour will even scale to V16 when obtained from the keys.
Thank you in advance.

Good day,
- Lj

Im in the same boat, i am saving all mine for when im v16 this way i can have more chance to get the warden set. No point wasting keys when they upped the cap. The sets from undaunted do scale to 16

You could also save them for VR18, which will be released a few months after VR16.

I'm saving my keys with the hope of getting some V15/V6 gear, along with the possibility of getting some of the new items for deconstruction. No guarantee it will happen, but it would be a plus for those of us who like to save instead of spending everything now

I'm saving mine on my non-V14 alts. Since only one of them will hit V14 before IC comes out, I'll just keep saving them till V16. It's also part of my pledge for Extra Life, so saving them is an easy way of seeing how much I owe for that.

If I do a pledge on my main, I usually go and use the key.

Personally saving mine for V16... then only opening as many as I need to get the 2 sets I really want & am likely to use.... Nerien'eth & Engine Guardian.

The rest (& any new keys after that) I'll save again for the next update / V18. Reading between the lines & from what they've said I'd bet very good money on V18 with the orsinium DLC at xmas before the vet ranks go next year.

Ljungstroem · August 2015

I guess you guys are right. I will keep them for a little while and see if I can keep them for V16 which should not be long away. Thanks a lot man!

Save for v16. If they increase the level cap again, they will let us know at least a month or so before hand, like they always do. So you will once again have time to save them up if needed.

Also, start saving treasure maps for Malachite shard drops (Used for Glass Motif style material. Their similar to Dwemer Scraps, so it takes 10 to make one Malachite) and the level 50 equipment Crafting Writ Rewards (They will have chances of containing Glass Motif Fragments or if your SUPER lucky the whole book. It will take 10 fragments to make just one chapter) Don't open them until new Imperial City launches.

Hope you have some great bag space

Oh i forgot to mention.... Malachite Shards will have a chance to be looted from every treasure chest in game, but a higher chance using treasure maps.

Ljungstroem · August 2015

Damn ill keep all that in mind!

Prizax · August 2015

yeah they will increase 2 veteran levels each new DLC and Orsium is released like at the end of November or middle December... :P

Does anyone know how many keys can you stack? I have 5 that I have been saving for ic. one person told me you can only stack 10.

He's lying. I'd guess 100 or 200, but you can definitely stack more than 10, as 3 of my toons have over 20 each in their bags.

I'm holding 11 atm

AlnilamE · August 2015

You can definitely stack more than 10. I'm thinking 100?

I have 39 right now on my sorc.

Ljungstroem · August 2015

I only have 7 right now, but I will just keep stacking them right now, since they are kind of useless until I have more monster heads. Right now I have only gotten 2 heads out of a million dungeons.

blabafat · August 2015

I would save them for next patch. Once you hit VR16 spend em

That's what I am doing

YardieGamer · August 2015

Thank you all for the response. Guess I can keep stacking

May as well just save them for next year when we're pushing Vr450

All undaunted chest pieces already scaled to v14, head pieces from dungeons scale v12 and will scale to v14 the next update. Monster sets wont scale beyond v14 so once you reach v14 and the next patch is out you can hand them in, you dont need to wait until v15 or v16.

Whats your source on that???

Last thing I saw on one os the eso live shows they directly said that all dungeons & the loot will scale to V16.... haven't seen anything to say monster helms/shoulders etc wont scale above V14.

That was my understanding, everything will scale.

I'll personally hold off for a little, they might implement some fixes or drop rates or something. That being said, who knows if I'll even be playing by that stage, so eh!

trials will not i believe

There will always be better things coming out. You can save them until ESO dies, or you just use them, but there will always be something new coming out regardless.
