General: Sick of Looking for Keys

We spent a lot of time this weekend looking for keys in different places. Helped Hokadeka with his Palborough and Giddeus keys for the Kazham Airship Pass, Lauvi with all three Kazham keys, went to Gusgen Mines to get keys for the RSE quests for Grym and Kiki, and tried getting a Ordelle's Caverns key for either the Cunning Earring quest, or another RSE pattern (not sure which we'd get when both quests are active).

I accidentally lotted on the Palborough key when we were helping Hokadeka, and got it. Then we got two more, so Grym got one as well. We spent a couple hours later running between all the treasure chest spawn points, and never saw one. I think a miner, possible RMT, was beating us to them. When we went back with Lauvi, we did find one chest, and got a Flame Boomerang out of it.

Grym and I headed to Gusgen, and man, that's really a creepy place, with all the hume ghosts wandering around, weird lights, mine sirens and everything. We fought a couple Sadflies, and got a tell from Anklebiter, a Taru THF47/NIN23, who asked if we were key hunting. He offered to join us, so we could benefit from his TH2. So the three of us killed key droppers for ages, and one finally dropped. Anklebiter passed on it, and said he'd continue on looking for his. That was so nice! However, we insisted on staying and helping him get one too. I think we spent nearly three hours getting the two keys. I don't know if we'll try to get one for Grym or have her use thief tools to open a chest instead.

The Ordelle's was even more frustrating. Manon joined Grym and I, but key droppers were hard to find. There are so many people in there camping stroper chymes for the elusive archer's ring, and they're killing everything in sight. Gave up after awhile. It was too boring just standing around waiting for something to spawn so we could kill it. I'm not sure how I'll ever get a key in there.
