Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The chests I can handle. And one key per day by massacring Krait. But supposedly they drop from mobs across Tyria. People say they've had them. So where do I go to get good (heck, I'd settle for not zero) drop rates on the farbling things? Or do I have to just go on a ferocious rampage, slaughtering everything I meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff.5312 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I went to the water southeast of Mt Maelstrom. There's always lots of krait around in the water, in their tower, and often in the tunnels. I got a key from the 4th krait I killed (which was a veteran I think and that may increase the odds). The problem is that anyplace with Krait will be crowded with farmers for the first couple of days, so most of the targets are dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I've gotten two to drop in Spark Fen. One to drop in Southsun. Absolutely zero in the newest zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hmm. Well, I tried that part of Maelstrom, no dice. (More to the point, no keys.) Rampage it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 From what I've seen, there isn't a "best" place. It can be anywhere, and the chance is pretty low, and it seems to be fairly uniform. And low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 @"Steve The Cynic.3217" Agreed. Just seems like a random world drop with a low drop rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Fractal probably is best since that will give you instant "respawn". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 True enough. Got one tonight in Crystal Oasis fighting Balthazar's minions. As far as I know, there's no krait there. Completely random, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 There are two spots guaranteed to get you 10 kraits in a few minutes: * At any sunken treasure, since they spawn krait as people open them. I haven't needed more than 5 minutes yet using that strategy. * Fractal 7 (Aquatic). The initial area contains about 15 krait in groups of 5 or so. No AR is required. Anyone with a DPS build can solo them; everyone else can two-person with a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altermaven.7385 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The last time I had random keys drop on me was when I did some karma drop farming in bitterfrost. Four keys from the krait daily, and two keys (one per day) from the BFF grinding. So yeah, just keep at the mobs. Sometimes you'll get one. Sometimes you'll get more than one. Sometimes you'll get none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drecien.4508 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Once you have keys why cant you open a chest? Do you have to talk to the vendor on each ton? Or do you need to finish opening all of the ten before you can open more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you need to finish opening all of the ten before you can open more? Have to finish all ten, then you can do them all over again. Can't open the same chest twice in the same round of the achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
