Keyrings! Finally..

from CastersRealm:



KEYRINGS NOW IN GAME



Earlier we reported that Old Sebilis no longer required a key. This was a little inaccurate. What may actually have happened is much cooler!

Rumors are that Old Sebilis and Howling Stones are now keyring enabled zones. If you complete the key quest for the respective zone and use the key once to enter it you should get a new message. The message informs you that this key is now on your keyring.



Once you receive this message you no longer need to keep the key. You may want to keep your Trakanon Idol for the Veeshans Peak key quest. The Keyrings have been in demand from players for a while now and were unveiled during the recent Boston Fan Faire.



Update: Some players are not yet getting the keyring message, we are waiting to confirm from Sony that the ability to acccess these zones without holding keys is the full implementation of the Keyring system discussed in Boston.

Great news for those of us that had to dedicate precious space/weight in our backpacks to lug around various keys. Good job, VI.

A friend of mine that doesn't have the seb key or ever had one can zone into seb for the last few weeks.

yeah - our last UDB/Trak kill included a lot of lowbies tagging along to see Sebilis as they had never even attempted to get a key but could now enter the zone. I also believe the key WAS required (on the pointer, that is) to enter H.S. but I don't remember for sure.

Sounds like a bugfest to me.



I know that I, for one, still need a key to enter Seb. But some peeps in my guild who have never done the quest can enter freely, and still others who HAVE done the key quest no longer need it...



This is gonna be fun... I can see 4 months down the line a new patch message:



- F*ck it, we've just removed keys entirely. We're tired and we wanna go home.



- Sebilis should no longer be perma-locked.

This is my opinion. Enjoy.[i]</p>[i]

You do indeed need to be holding the HS key to get in.

Nice, the Flags are finally in place. I didn't think VI would put this into place until the release of PoP.



Happy to see it released now. Damn, and I still can't play until Oct 15th.



Atleast by then all the bug *should* be worked out. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">



Oh, let me add this: You will still have to do the quest to get the key.



Wether you get a Key now or just a Flag, that's unknown by myself. However; Seb is NOT unkeyed nor will it be. The Flags are another form of a key.



Think of it as a key that one: doesn't take up INV space and two: doesn't required you to hold it to enter X zone.

According to the message, you have to use the key ONCE to ZI and then you should get a message saying the key is on your keyring, meaning its now flagged on your character. After that, you shouldn't need a key anymore.

What the heck does the Sebilis key have to do with the VP key quest? I have all pieces of the VP key done except for the drop from Trakanon. Am I missing something?

They also said the new UI wouldn’t be out until PoP also, heh. Does the ST go to your ring also? This would allow people to turn their key in for the scales quest.



The Seb key is not used in the VP key quest. You just need the key to get into Seb to kill Trak for the tooth.

they added another NPC outside of ST to do the essence quests w/o asking for the key.

They announced an hour or so ago that the Keyring function isn't working properly so definately don't destroy any keys.

I thought they might have simply unlocked Seb to levels 51+ or something, since he's 54. Guess not.



I guess I'll report it as a bug when I log on tonight, since it seems that it's not intentional.
