DQ Points for Nirvana Keys?

edited January 2013 in General Discussion
In WC on Sanctuary the last day or so have been a number of posts saying that we can now NPC our Nirvana Palace Keys for 50 DQ Points.

I have searched the forums and not seen anything mentioned to this effect (perhaps I missed it) and also the DQ Rewards pages does not mention Nirvana Palace Keys as an option.

Can anyone confirm or refute this claim?

    You also gain rep rank 10 when you turn in 10 stacks of 99 keys at one time.

    It's an undocumented finding from this past patch. u can also npc your reflective shards for 50 dqpts each also.

    1 Nirvana Key = 1 point

    1 Reflective Shard = 1 point

    The tendered amount is then multiplied by the day of the month and then divided by 32. This is then multiplied by the log of pi's square root and rounded up to the next whole number per each n. key or r. shard NPC'ed.

    It's explained more clearly in the Archer's forum. b:thanks

    b:bye

    Thank you for all the great responses. I was able to conduct a limited test and discovered that, while I am sure they were well meaning, all of the formulae provided above were incorrect in the determination of exactly how many DQ points are earned when NPCing a Nirvana Palace Key.

    I suppose I should not be too shocked that the actual rate is considerably less than 50 DQP per NPK. I am ever the optomist and would have loved to have turned my 400+ keys into over 20,000 DQP. It would have been just enough to earn me yet another Demon/Sage Event Card, something I could really use about now, having burned through all my existing event gold buying charms for Nation Wars.

    It would also free up a considerable number of bank slots.

    Perhaps PWI will consider raising the DQP redemption rate for keys in the not too distant future. 50 per would be great, but even 25 per would make them somewhat useful again.

    Good Luck!

    So, does anyone have a clear answer on this or is OP the same troll that was in wc...? lol

    My apologies Xainou ... the result of my testing was that you get EXACTLY 0 DQP per NPK. You do get 1 coin as well, but no rep. I did not test NPCing 10 stacks of 99 to see if I got Rank 10.

    I hope that helps.

    Good Luck!

    The answer is no.

    But it does free up inventory space for those who don't feel like just doing a quick Nirvana with said keys.

    They really should do something like this, though. Or just make Nirvana Keys able to be traded in at Mysterious Old man for one mirage or something. Or upgrade their NPC cost to 3-4k coins maybe so it's at least worth a little something when you get rid of those stacks of 99.

    Right now I just get annoyed that I have to have seven spaces open to turn in a BH because they want to fill my inventory with useless **** like nirvana keys, reflection shards and fairy box keys. They need to either make these objects worth something or give you the option of not taking them.

    I heard if you delete system32, your get a GM wep sent to your mailbox. <_< >_>



    ...in all seriousness though. What makes the most sense to me is to give out one item from BH rewards... an arbitrary one, maybe with a 5min time limit or so... and as long as you have it, you can talk to the HH (or some other NPC) and take quests from them to receive the individual items (such as talis) that you want without dealing with the ones you don't want.

    That said, I can imagine that system getting tedious for people who prefer the current system and would not like to click through five or six different quests to get all their BH rewards. It's not a perfect suggestion, I guess. :P

    Uh no Miugre. It's already bad enough that I got to remind this old man through like 7 dialogues every day because he always forgets again. b:shocked


    Besides, something should really be done about those keys. They're stacking up on me. ._.

    Or update vana to be worth it. I like the idea of vile bosses and 99 key vile bosses with molds and/or essences. And 10x drop, **** the cannies, the shards and perfect stones were sweet.

    A simple solution for resurrecting NV would be to add a Basic Badge as a reward for killing the last boss.

    10-15 minute NV runs would then be on par with WS and Lunar for earning Badges. OP 5 minute squads would now have a more efficient method for farming Badges, at the expense of no mold drops and needing keys.
