For those looking for keys

madman65 · July 14

Some of us still remember the scribing system grumble, we had to wait and wait then ESO/ZOS finally increased the drop rate. We will have to endure the same conditions again for the keys that everyone is looking for. Have patients and keep the pressure on gamers!

Also for ESO/ZOS, this is why I will not spend my money on this game. Stupid rng system is messed up!

You don’t even need the keys for anything right now? I could be misremembering but they might have an increased drop rate later intentionally because getting them right now is just a nice head start…

You need 10 for one of the tome rewards

This is the seasonal challenge so you have more than 3 month to complete it, no need trying to do it right now

I find it highly unlikely that the drop rate is so abysmal that I still haven't gotten one key yet. At this point it's gotta be bugged.

AzuraFan · July 14

I haven't gotten a key either, and I've been doing dynamic activities every day, picking locks, doing thieves guild quests, etc. So far, nada. I'm not saying it's bugged, but the drop rate must be really low. Hopefully I'll have enough to participate when the vault drops later on, and not be shut out of that content for a while.

Your needs are not everyone elses

Ardriel · July 14

I haven't gotten a single one yet either, even though I've completed the Thieves' Guild quest. But there are people who supposedly have already gotten 10. Something's not right here.

Horace-Wimp · July 14

I did the one Thieves Guild quest where it said I had to loot a Nowhere Key but I never saw it and was able to complete the quest. I also went through a number of Treasure Maps I had been saving the last few months and never saw one either.

I agree they are bugged. Otherwise with a drop rate so near zero there's no reason for me to spend ANY more time on this Season One nonsense.

Yeah, not worth the grind time if they are going to be that ultra rare. I can live without completing that seasonal challenge.

Arunei · July 14

The Unformed Planar Keys aren't supposed to be this rare. Jason said during the June livestream they don't want them to be, that they want people to be able to have a bunch of Keys to go into the Vault with.

Time4Adventure · July 14

0 Keys.
Completed many dynamic encounters every day since launch.
Completed the thieves daily quests and Favors quests on several chars every day since launch.
Completed the Thieves Guild 2 main quest on at least 1 char.
Opened many chests, troves and lockboxes every day since launch.
How many hours spent searching for these keys and not even one dropped?

I don't believe these "keys" are real and I don't believe anyone who says they have found one.
Ridiculously Rare.

🤣🤣🤣

I don't think the nowhere keys exist either.
I do lots of chest farming and have yet to see one
I've found 2 si sahan note things. And they haven't counted for anything so they are probably bugged too

You need to ‘use’ those to get them to count. It tracks on the achievement.

madman65 · July 14

@ZOS_Amy are the keys dropping?

SaffronCitrusflower · July 15

They exist. Got one today. It's called an unformed planar key for now. Can't do anything with it yet though.

raystormusa · July 15

On PS-NA.
Example 1 : Unformed Planar Key from Stonefalls Dynamic Encounter - final chest

Example 2 : Unformed Planar Key from Thieves Trove, Telvanni Peninsular.

erebus_79_ESO · July 15

but explain why my rng is not giving me any. what can i do to increase my rng? is it that higher the CP the worse the rng? ive done the dailies with 2x geared and talented out thieves. (no mysterious note...i bought one on the trader). no planar keys (i've done multiple dynamics daily), started opening treasure maps...been opening troves and safeboxes as i find them...why is the loot not giving me anything to be excited about?

Nemesis7884 · July 15

I thought i read somewhere u get 1 key drop per 10 favors done which seems not true...?

It hasn’t been 10 days yet, it’s character based not account based

I haven't see anyone say they've gotten 10 keys.*
They've gotten credit for the keys for the Seasonal Tome by moving the key from the bank to inventory to a chest to the bank etc. It seems every time a key is moved, the count goes up.

*Nor have I read every thread here or on Reddit about getting keys, so I could easily have missed someone saying they got 10. But the glitch seems pretty real.

ETA: I haven't gotten any keys either, despite finishing the Glenumbra thieves questline, doing the Favors, thieves dailies, opening a ton of chests/safe boxes/thieves troves and doing each dynamic encounter at least once a day. I bought a ton of glenumbra maps when this was announced, and I'm still hoarding them until I know the drop rate is what it is supposed to be. And not bugged or broken.

Greetings,

With there already being a thread opened on this subject here, we're going to go ahead and close this one down.
