[BUG] Collect 10 Nowhere Keys

GeneralEU · July 17

Hello!
I've encountered a bug that, unfortunately, allows you to complete the “Collect 10 Nowhere Keys” challenge with just a single “Unformed Planar Key.”

In short, depositing and withdrawing the Unformed Planar Key from the bank to your EQ and back counts toward the “Collect 10 Nowhere Keys” challenge.

Thank you for that tip :-)

I was gonna post the bug myself, as I've sofar collected 3 keys, including the one from the quest line.
But when I logged on this morning, the challenge counter said I had 6 keys.

I submitted an in-game bug report, even though I suspected this issue is already known. I was concerned about penalties for perceived exploitation, so I also stopped activities that can drop the keys so that my Tomes achievement doesn't complete. I love this game too much to get banned accidentally.

To add a bit more information to this...

1. Collect a key from any source - it counts as getting a key (expected behavior)
2. If you got that key from stealing, then laundering a key counts as getting a key
3. Depositing a key into the Bank counts as getting a key
4. Withdrawing a key from the Bank counts as getting a key

Basically, it looks like any time inventory (pack or Bank) sees a key coming in, it counts for the challenge as getting a key and that includes the status change from "stolen" to "not stolen."
