Overview

The Lock and Key system is a new treasure system mechanic that has multiple components and rewards to help facilitate trade and make treasure more fun. The system composes of various locks, keys, baubles, and rewards. You combine a lock and key to be rewarded with a bauble that has the reward inside. The system components are all trade-able. Lock and Key component drop rate is affected by Loot cap and there are limited amount released per week into the treasure system.

The system currently is two-tiered system components:

  • Common: vibrant (level 30+)
  • Rare: radiant (level 60+)

Current system has four color components allowing for 8 combinations of locks and keys you can find.

  • Blood Red
  • Forest Green
  • Frosty White
  • Royal Blue

You can combine two of any color tier and type component to create a rainbow-hued component. Rainbow-hued locks and keys can be used on any color of similar tier lock and key.

Locks are found via SEARCHing creatures and are not box-found items. These come pre-marked to not be sold. To open a lock, you'll need the matching tier color key or a rainbow-hued key of the same tier in order to open it.

Keys
