Hey guys,
I'm starting the Dread Ring campaign and I'd like to know how I can get the skeleton key to open the Astral Chests at the end of the mini-dungeon missions. I got one on the first day, but I can't get any others. I finish the missions, but the Astral Chest is closed.
How can I get the keys?

Obviously, I don't have a huge sample size on my own but the 4 or 5 chests I opened have all been the same 2 peridots.
Haven't got a adamantine gauntlet but someone just asked that in-game....
But still totes going to go for the adamantine ones.
Should read ONE white pearl that all I've gotten or one single rank 3 Enchantment whitch is a insult those can be found everywhere. :mad:
It's a bonus for the first daily dungeon. IT's not a lottery win, but you get to try it every single day. And all the stuff is useful - enchants as refining points, jewelry to boost my artifact, marks for refining. All handy stuff, all free.
But typically something you can only do once per day should be at least as rewarding as the chest you could do multiple times per day if you pay to access it. It is a bit bit anticlimactic to open an end game once per day reward and go "that's it?"
Not just that - you also have to pay AD and earn tokens to be able to forge the higher level gauntlets.
They're AD sinks and well priced ones at that (don't know about mithril and adamantine yet, but the other two so far have been fine). Just like your progression for Thayan research will start requiring AD past the second boon. But so what? You're paying what is, really, a small fee to be able to have a potentially unlimited number of attempts at prizes on top of what you can already do.
The gauntlets, however, more then make up for the difference. Totaling 45,000 AD to get all the way to Adamantine.
There are a lot of AD sinks some of which are totally worthless and pointless.
The first 2 upgrades are okay but they get progressively more expensive and the later ones are those that people are likely to be wondering about. Since you have admitted you haven't even tried those out I don't see how you can possibly claim the AD sinks to be well priced (or not).
Also given that the boons are a permanent boost to your character which will always stacks with everything else, there is not much point in comparing what you pay to get boons to something like this which is useful only if you keep running the daily and if the drops are good enough.
Yes its nasty, when you finally get to open the chest
and you get one white pearl ffs.
Two white pearls would be disappointing enough,
but no, you only get one.
.
As such, this things 'given' must be worthy enough in the players' eyes for them to put in time and effort to obtain them. If not, they won't do it and will spend their time elsewhere, even on other games. And that is not what the game Devs want is it?
Sorry for going off topic.
BTW, apart from the weekly quest (30 scrolls), daily lair quest (5 scrolls) and lock box fragment exchange (5 scrolls), are there any other ways to obtain more Thayan scrolls?
So i cant complain.
you can't skip it. it's part of the campaign progression. you have to have complete one to get to the others.
Reward should equal effort. They added in the second chest so we couldn't abuse it, as you get the you can't forge another gauntlet message if you hover over it after you've used it. Since it is a once-a-day thing, they should treat the reward as if it is once a day. once your artifact is purple it takes 30,000-50,000+ refinement points to level it, and the gift of an additional 540-1000 points in a coffer is just laughable, if not insulting.
So far, I'm just not excited about the expansion.
Doesn't really seem worth the effort even if I do the daily for months and months.
- **** right.
I leveled my gauntlets up to Adamantine today, and all i've gotten so far out of the whole process is a few peridots and a couple LOW lvl enchants! .. i mean i get better enchants from the zone events, even for a single participation.
If it were like a skill node that resets after a few minutes and you could try again, it might not be so bad, it'd be a "grind" but at least you'd have more opportunities for a 'good' drop ... As it currently stands though = Wait 24hrs, craft the gauntlets and run the quest = White Pearl
