Skeleton Key Fragments (petition)

Yes, I want Skeleton Key Fragments.

No, I want this economy to stay the way it is.

Skeleton Keys drop so little and inconsistent. Solution? Give Skeleton Keys the Siva Cache Key treatment! Make bosses drop Key fragments - IN ADDITION TO ACTUAL KEYS - so we can make some keys. 1 to 2 per strike would be fair giving you a chance to open chests every 6 to 8 strikes. Rerolling gear would also be good to help us achieve a guardian we like in both looks and perks. [i]I would add them as Crucible rewards to foment PvE doing PvP and vice-versa, but that's might not be a popular idea.[/i] [i][u]Edit:[/u] people also want them to be able to be purchased. 150 marks seem reasonable to me. Some motes or marks + a legendary engram (primary weapon or class item is my suggestion) could work, similar to Variks's class items. Please comment if you would like them to be purchasable as well, and what currency would be fair.[/i]

  • Tbf your suggested system does have its advantages and disadvantages. While it would be more consistent and would allow the grind to ultimstely end with a reward rather than hoping, part of the charm of these sort of loot systems is that unknown. Not knowing when you are going to get a drop drives you to continue doing it, at least thats what I feel when im playing a more traditional mmo.

    • Lazy -blam!-s. Just play the game, grind for the revard. I have gotten to 378 without the raid. I have a girlfriend,2 dogs i need to spend few hours with every day and a job so i cant even play more than 2-max5hours a day and still i managed to get this far without bitching and whining.

        Regarding zaephirian "edit" addition. Great idea about also requiring more to purchase a key such as also requiring a legendary engram, since I've seen some comments that just legendary marks is too little. That plus some amount of Legendary Marks (we need something else to spend them on) sounds fair while not making it to easy (fast) to stock up on skeleton keys. [b]Suggest: [/b]1 Legendary Armor engram AND 1 Legendary Weapon engram AND 100 Legendary Marks FOR 1 Skeleton Key. [b]One other suggestion[/b] I read elsewhere: Add a weekly quest to earn one key (per character). Similar to the Tyra Karn's weekly quest for class items, but give it to Shiro-4 or Saladin. The quest could complete some number (5?) high-level strikes. This way farming for keys (an exercise in futility) will always net you at least one key per character per week.

        • Or just go into SIVA Crisis where the RNG is better for them.

          • Honestly just switch to 320 siva strike list. They drop pretty often there. Did like 5 strikes today got 3 keys. A whole day of heroics got me 1.

            Petition to add Skeleton Key Dust to Radiant Treasure! Every time you get 100 dust, you can convert it into one Skeleton Key Fragment for a mere 150 Legendary Marks. You get a chance at obtaining one Skeleton Key Dust per Treasure box. Good idea? [spoiler]In all seriousness, I like the idea of Fragments. I've not done many strikes yet, but in the ones I have done, only 2 keys have dropped![/spoiler]

            • Skeleton keys have a similar drop rate to strike specific gear. It's not meant to be common.

            • This would basically be the same as just guaranteeing a drop every X strikes. I'm not against it, but it seems to go against Bungie's general love of all things random.

            • I didn't really farm strikes yet since RoI dropped, only 2 or 3 in a row. But I always have a key. I don't use it often, as I have all exclusives. I use it when I need 1 specific item at a good light level to infuse. The thing is: as long as I have one (anywhere, vault or on any char) I don't get a new key. Once I used it, until now a key drops within 3 strikes ...

              • Good idea. I would add an alternate suggestion - let a vendor (such as the speaker) sell skeleton keys for Legendary marks. Or maybe Xur for strange coins.

                • Or how bout they have a higher drop rate and they drop from random majors from doing the strike.
