New Key Ideas

[Aust]

Not sure if this has been suggested already but here goes:

The Bard's Stand does not go into the master keys.

The Bard Stand is on a different system then the other keys thus it won't go into the master keys.

I do like Theo's idea of a home good keys tho

More suggestions:

Tool Keys - add the stitching kit bought in heartwood

Granite Keys - granite can not be placed in a commodity deed. The button on the keys just withdraws the granite one at a time. Or if it's easier just make granite stackable. Its jsut really hard to trade it to someone else right now since you have to do it one piece at a time.

Make it more easy to get keys! That in itself would reduce lag cause more people would have them and less people would have millions of logs and ingots running around there house.

Being new here, I don't know what all is required to make keys. I have looked at a few of the vendors that I was able to locate and haven't seen many keys for sale. I like the idea of using keys, it really helps keep the clutter down in my packs and/or chests.

I would also hope that they would be Blessed by default.

I would also hope that it wouldn't take 120 is several skills to make them. Of course I don't know how hard Power Scrolls are to obtain either.

I look at keys as being a convenience and not something that gives an advantage in the game. It keeps item count down and simplifies many everyday tasks and crafting things. I don’t understand why only high level players would be the only ones that could produce something as handy and useful.

It’s not a 100% Damage Increase, 100% Mana Leach, 100% Stamina Leach, 100% Life Leach, Range 8, Swing Speed 0 Katana.

The whole shard would benefit from an easily obtainable item which allows players to consolidate consumables and some of the other collectable items mentioned in earlier comments.

If the keys are really easy to obtain then they lose their value..

Certain items need to have a restriction as to at which skill you are able to craft it. The higher skill required the more valuable the item becomes. They are very convenient but convenience shouldn't be something you start out with. If you learn how to get by without them the hard way , you will appreciate them much more when you actually get them.

This also balances the ingame economy system. If all the uber items where available right away for cheap , its fun for the new players but old players would have nothing to look forward to. Take any game , if you had the best items right away you would quickly begin to lose interested as there would be nothing for you to try to obtain.

In my opinion Power Scrolls are easier to obtain then Keys, yet they are still worth 100-250k each. This is done not completely for personal gain of the player in charge of the vendor but more to give new players the ability to obtain these scrolls early but for a higher price which is established by time , difficulty, resources used, ect.. to obtain this item.

Hope that kindda makes sense Might be just my personal opinion but keep in mind if you get everything early , you have less to look forward to, less to appreciate.

The keys are blessed <-- correction

I don't think you need to be at 120 to be able to make the keys but even at 120 you still only have a 40% chance to make the keys.

with the cloths keys you have to be carefull if you have stats on your armor and the keys take it that stats are gone i have hadd this issue in the past

[Angelique]

the granite being stackable would also help on starage if you can not afford keys yet

[GhostRiderGrey]

Adira, what cloths key? We have tailor keys here, but they do not take armor.

Thank you for the replies.

Well, one can hope, right? I can understand arguements for either side.

For two years, I played on one shard where there were no "keys." Over time, I saw a few items introduced to hold various things. A Spell Book Basket and a Power Scroll Book were rare drops from Teragon (similar to Paragon) Mobs. The Reagent Crystal was freely available to everyone and was spawned on the counter at one particular Mage shop. A Gardener Basket was a drop from some of the more dangerous areas. A Scribes Tomb was a reward for a series of quests that is similar to the Noob Quest in Haven, but was more complicated. A Master Crystal was offered on the Shard Vendor Stone for 450K gold (+50K to Bless it if paid for at the same time).

Though I never recieved a Garden Basket, but I was able to obtain the other items. I thought they were all really cool ideas. I then went to some other shards with new friends. I was surprised how many shards have these 'Keys". It seems each place has differing standards for obtaining them.

So far, here at WP, skill gains are very nice and there is a world full of things to work for and do. And even more things to learn.

Thank you SlickBlade, you summed up staff's position about the keys nicely!
