Crystal Key

Is it really hard to find a Crystal Key now ? :C

I have no idea how to get those anymore. Do you have to find them or can you still buy them?

[Diogo Spectro]

Well i have no idea either haha im just farming for hours but still havent find any :c and if they have to be bought i dunno where to buy

The patch notes tell you. The Crystal Key drop rate has been reduced and Crystal Chests have been reduced. As for buying the keys, you weren't able to buy them for quire some time. They use to drop quite often, you would have about 10 or so by the end of the first section.

I see, just found my first key now, i guess they nerfed it pretty hard. I still find lots of crystal chest.

Me too.

I think they nerfed it a little too hard. I've found a few crystal chests lately, but zero keys.

I agree with you

Just did a full run in normal from beginning of act 1 through end of act 6. Found 4 crystal keys total (2 in act 1 and 2 in the last area of act 6 before the boss). Found dozens of chests. This drop rate feels way too low. If it's intended, I'd honestly rather they remove crystal keys/chests entirely and replace them with brown chests.

The regular key drop rate I can live with, although it felt a bit too harsh too. Most of the time gold chests felt like hazards I needed to avoid so that I could save my 1 key for the next shop. And a couple of times I had gold chests fall right on me when I turned in a quest, eating that precious key that I was saving.

In the end, after the key drop nerf I now feel unhappy maybe half the time I see a gold chest and almost every time I see a blue chest. Not sure if that's what the devs are aiming for or not.

Most of the Crystal chests i opened had lame stuff on it pretty much gold all the time

Interesting, i'm almost done with my Hell run. Never repeated any floors. Have loads of crystal keys wasting away. But regular keys were always low or out until i recently found the "99x key Relic". Not that i really care for crystal chests. I prefer having gold since i don't use the crystals (5k+) for anything.
