Finding Keys

In anyone elses opinion is it getting harder and harder to find keys?
Before it would take maybe to runs of each boss to find the keys, now in order to find any it takes many although fulls game some reason seem to help.

Like before it was going so fast, i've gotten 3 of the LC's already same with my brother, so six in all but now seems alot harder lol,

Anyways
Inorder to kill him our strat was my smiter his hammerdin and none of them seem to be a problem , they should make the bosses alot harder cause there really good charms.
 
I hear that it's actually a 1/34 chance that a key will drop from a particular monster.

However, I've noticed less keys dropping. In fact, I haven't seen a key yet since I got my Standard of Heroes. Maybe that voids you getting keys.
 
Yes...I was wondering about that too. At first I was getting a key every 2-3 games, then after run 20 I didn't get anything till 29. But in 29 I got 3 (2 from summoner, 1 from nihlathak), so I don't know what the deal is :cheesy:

Ho! :lol:
I've done about 20 countess runs - also no keys, but did get a Lem + Pul from her though
I've had better luck with the summoner - got a key after 8 runs

I think I suffered from beginners luck. Because I joined a game where 2 friends were and a key dropped for me when I was doing countess :lol: .

I'm still finding keys, even with SoH. I haven't really noticed a decline in number of keys I've found...
 
I feel so great, I come back today after the maintenence, d/l the patch and go kill the countess to start off my normal hell runs and this 'key of terror' drops.

Damn I felt good...... shame my luck stopped there. :|

I found the same thing happened to me so I'm begining to think it's not a coincidence. I got 2 of each key with my barb in my own games (2 hate keys dropped off the same summoner) and then all of a sudden they stopped dropping for me all together in my own games. I found out that if I joined other people's games I got more keys than if I made my own games (some keys as opposed to no keys). there can be a few explainations for this

a) there is a cap to how many keys your character can get... sort of like killing the cow king once completes the quest, maybe 2 keys completes yours. This would mean however that I am a greedy bastard and I went into those people's games and stole their "quest" key
b) maybe you get keys quickly and then their drop rate is significantly reduced.
c) the more people in a game, the more chances of a certain boss dropping more items so maybe since there were more people, there were more chances for a key to drop?
d) pure coincidence :)

anyways, with all that aside, I think my grand total of keys for the day were probably 6 terror, 10 hate, 8 destruction... low terrors because 5 lvls of tower sucks. traded most of it away but used some of them to get a torch :thumbsup:
 
If I were you, I'd read some threads on the forum and see whether it's worth it to you to use the key or trade it to a sucker for some good gear or runes.

You'd be suprised at how fast a dual hoto barb can tele :)
oh and the charm was definaetly worth it... not only because it's a pretty godly charm but the fact that I accomplished getting it was also nice. Besides after I sold a key of D for 10 hi, I started to feel guilty... :uhhuh:

Ahaha, nice. When I thought the ladder was going to reset I traded my 6-7 ists away to people who I thought needed them more. Now I've pretty much made it all back :thumbsup:
 
I traded my 2 keys (i found many more) away 4 3sojs and a perf archon coh so im happy, we also found a ko and ist countess running, also got about 10 more keys and killed lilith. You will find them dont give up. :thumbsup:

I ran for over 3 hours starting at about 6:30 est and did not find a single key....the runs were rather easy using my hammerdin though.
 
damn im not liking this, well i have only found 1 key from summoner, so i guess if you can only get a few i still can get much more. Buw drop rates dropping?, then soon they will be as hard to find as zod.
