Blasted keys!
Submitted by bombastic on Mon, 06/14/2004 - 16:09.

Just finished my levelling in Qufim this weekend (man, that place made the dunes look like a tropical resort!) and now I'm looking for the keys so I can get the Kazham airship pass. On problem: WHO DROPS THE DAMNED KEYS?!

I'm in Gelsbah first, and I've been killing things right and left (even killed me a Warchief! Woot!) But nothing has dropped a key. After an hour last night, I gave up.

So, can someone tell me who drops the keys and where they are? I really want to get to Kazham!

Keys keys keys

Okay, first of all, don't expect this to be quick. Getting the keys can be a royal pain. It took me a week, tabke two weeks, and valsery a long freaking time ;-)

Second of all, I'm assuming you're around 25 and are still a RDM. Well, expect this to be too hard to do solo. You will likely have to get help. I was a 25 MNK and I had a hard time. A 25 RDM isn't going to have my def or attack, and some of these mobs are pretty nasty (the Votary is a MNK and will waste you). Chances are there will be others looking for keys, see if you can't party with them. If not, try and get high level help. If I am on (or Valsery, we found our Palborough keys together) ask for my help.

Having someone in your group (or you) subbed as a thief helps a lot.

The three keys you need are from Giddeus, Ghelsba, and Palborough. Get them in any order.

*Get the Giddeus Chest key from Yagudo Priests, Yagudo Votaries, and Yagudo Theolgists in Giddeus. These are found towards the back. The best way to get to them is to go to the little dead end pocket at H-7 and drop through the hole. Travel south from there, and around the ridge. You will get to a beehive looking thing leading south at around I-12. Through there you will find Votaries, Priests, and Theologists galore. Be careful, they aggro and link!

*Get the Ghelsba Chest Key from Orcish Fighters, Orcish Serjeants, and Orcish Cursemakers in Yughott Grotto or Fort Ghelsba. I'd recommend going to Yughott Grotto as these guys are all over there.

*Get the Palborough Chest Key from Old Quadavs, Brass Quadavs, and Copper Quadavs in Palborough Mines. These can be found pretty much anywhere deep in the mines, but my favorite spot is near the burning circle entrance. The stairs leading up to the entrance have several spawn points for these guys. If you can get another member to help look for them, having one guy at the top of the stairs and another at the bottom to watch for pops really helps a lot.

When it's all said and done, trade the keys to Guddal to get the airship pass. If you cannot get the quest then you do not have the expansion pack installed ;-)

Agree

You sould really have withyou someone with SUB THF. Even if I am lvl 11 and i have the Guides Key I was with Drifter, she had THF subed. Long Story. I got the first key on accedint I dunno if she ever got one but like everey battle we would pick up an item.

THF Subbed

Yes, THF subbed (especially if the subbed is 15 or more) really helps. Have you gotten the keys yet? Email the mailing list is you'd like to coord a time and I'll go with (as long as I get the other drops, I need stuff for synth! ;-)

Definately

Sure, I'll be on this weekend, and we can do it then.... I need a break from the dunes at any rate...
