Dragonfall Chest Key Acquisition


Recommended Posts

I have absolutely loved the new map introduced with Living Story Season 4. However I am noticing that when I follow an event chain, normally 3 chests spawn available to me to loot. But I only get 1 key per event completed. (At least 1 key per event that gives keys.) I find myself disappointed when I quickly run out of keys and there are still chests that I have earned but I do not have the keys for it.

I would like to know if I'm missing something? Someone said in map chat that I should just run around and get enough credit to get a reward in each quest and move on without seeing each event to completion. However I feel that's a really selfish way to look at getting the optimal number of keys to loot chests with.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does anyone else have a more ideal solution? What would you in turn change to fix this problem?

I do want to say, I was surprised when I found out that there are no purchasable keys available. I figured that'd be an easy currency sink for VM and Motes.

Let me know what you think!

The events in the pre-meta phase that spawn three chests also reward 3 keys on completion (those are the beginning events for setting up the waypoint, the the events for killing the branded healer that happens around the t3 -> t4 phase).

If you do the whole pre-meta phase and stick to one lane, doing the events there, you will have more keys than you can spend on the meta afterwards. I have like 80 in excess right now.

I've only received 1 key on completion of the pre-meta events. Unless these are different events which we are referring to in which very likely could be the case.

The first one they mentioning is where escort the waypoint to the new base. Ends with fight with a champion. Think need to do all parts to get the reward. Can also have a few random events along the way - just don't get distracted to far from the main one. Also can get about 15 keys if do the daily events (each gives 3 per daily).

I've only done the meta once but I had the opposite problem - until the bonus event with all the bosses spawning at the end I kept getting more and more keys and couldn't find any chests.

I'm not sure but I suspect it's different types or groups of events which give keys and chests - probably to encourage players to do both. I was mainly doing the 'cull nearby enemies' and 'defend the patrol' events - the standalone ones which appear away from the camp - rather than the ones the major NPCs lead you to. I did a bit of the collect embers/soul binders/tears events too, just if I found some of those things to collect while I was doing other stuff.

I have had enough keys for the meta, but run out during the champs after, if I try to follow to get as many of them as possible. But now that I have been spending some time on the map without following the meta or the champs after I might not have that issue.
