Skeleton Keys Are A Myth

Okay, "myth" is the wrong word, but you get my point. I have found 4 since ROI and I have played nonstop since the release of the DLC. Is there anyway we can make them more accessible? Like increase the drop rate or make them an additional weekly reward for something like the Sterling and Radiant?

  • How is this possible? I played casually since ROI and managed to open the valus strike chest 24 times (still didn't t get a god roll Tread -_-) so how? I easely got over 25+ keys just by grinding the normal SiVA playlist. So how? How can people get only like 4 keys?! I am a casual myself Something's fishy about this...

    • I kind of think they should have a slightly higher drop rate, especially from nightfalls. I used to farm nightfalls for drop specific loot, since Rise of Iron, I've only received one key from a nightfall. Outside of that, it feels like maybe 1 out of 10ish strikes (heroic or regular) gives a key. Sometimes it feels like 15 strikes without a key but sometimes it's only 5

      • I'm working on getting it in Skyrim. I'm pretty sure I'll get it there before I ever get another one in Destiny.

      • So tired of grinding for Skeleton Keys. After DAYS of doing Siva Heroic and Nightfalls, I've received a grand total of TWO. And when I used them? NOTHING. Crap drops (blue engrams) and no Candlelight Shader. So tired of this BS.

        • Just say that fixing the drop rates will add to the player base. It will be a 110% drop before you can say "buff"

        • Other than grinding those 320 strikes, not much else you can do for now.

        • They are a rare drop and noticing that your highest light right now is 386 I would say that you playing non-stop is a lie. Do Normal Siva Strikes instead of heroics, they are easier and faster. I did 20 for the record book and ended with 5 keys in my inventory when I was done.

                  I feel like this is an exaggeration. I got 4 keys just yesterday trying to get the candlelight shader. Took me like 2 hrs. I swapped chars everytime I got one. Edit: I feel like they are a 1 in 5 drop. And I kept my Vanguard streak going until I got one.

                • I had 5 skeleton keys in my inventory when I started playing the heroic strike playlist. The first strike I played was the cabal brothers strike. At the end of the strike, a skeleton key dropped, and I tried to use one of my keys and then pick the dropped one up. Neither of that happened. When I went to orbit, I realized that I had no more skeleton keys. They disappeared from my inventory and are not in my vault. I've read online that this has been an issue. Any word on when bungie will fix this?

                  • i like the new key system. i have been able to get drops i need by picking the appropriate strikes. before i would occasionally get a strike item but it was never what i wanted and the light level was always lower than what i wanted

                    • I have got around 30 since RoI. The best drop rate I have had is 3 keys in 5 strikes. You must just be really unlucky

                      • Just luck unfortunately. Some will find many others very few. They should be rewarded in activities or at least one or two a week should be given out for doing the daily

I have not received a single skeleton key from a strike. I think it is so stupid that your fire team members can't all get the chest when it is opened. I don't even want to play strickes anymore because it has pissed me off to no end.

                                This is my view on Skeleton keys and the community 1. People lie about their "low drop rate". Like people who say theyve ran 25 strikes and not gotten one 2. People who complain about not getting them dont really gridn a lot of strikes and think if they do 4 strikes they should get 2 I get them to drop like 1 in 8 strikes maybe which allows me to try to get a better grasp every so often which before these keys I could never get a grasp to drop so these work great The skeleton key complaints also give less validity to some of the communities other arguments IMO because I know most people here saying they get none are full of shit and if they lie about keys theyll lie about everything else
