Alimar.8760 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vayne.8563 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Some events give you 3 keys, not one. Some chests give you keys as well. As you do events, you'll get more keys. I haven't run out of keys very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipso.8653 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 There are also still events going during the meta, so I dont think they expect you to participate in it every single time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo.6140 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 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 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.

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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 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.

Astralporing.1957 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yeah, the sideevents are a good source of keys - and that's a very good design in my opinion. People are incentivized to do all types of events here, some for keys, some for chests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If you do the events that lead up to the map meta's you will end up with more keys than you can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeefa.3915 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
