Just wanted to say that you get a key after completing Setting The Stage lvl 40 story also :) i got 5 transmutation shards, a trophy worth 2g, guaranteed wardrobe unlock, 2 black lion statues.
@@Cellofrag a few things 1) I find the asura synergetics path for warrior is a lot quicker than the human run, that's just my preferance though. 2) if you get lvl 10 gear that would s crafted that doesn't have a level req on it that you then can add funds too that give you the equivalent of lvl 25 character, which makes 1 use of 100 blades take down any boss. Makes it go twice as fast. 3) Sword/horn with gs allows you four options to increase your speed during instances so you can power through them.
12 keys this month. Whatever I got total worth 7 gold only. Except for those weird black lion coins that I got 17 of them. By the way, what is the song name?
When you deliver the medicine you don't have to go into the room, you can actually interact with the npc through the wall, saving some precious seconds there. Turns out that Tyrian medicine can be applied on the walls and still works on the patients!
I actually level characters to level 80 to farm every story key and delete them afterwards to do it again. Always get around 10 keys and alot of crafting materials which are around 20-30g. Leveling characters is somehow the only thing I enjoy in guild wars right now lol
@@dodoslavn living world S2: tangled paths gives a key when completed. This can be done pretty quickly and when you are lvl 80 you can do maps like bloodstone fen. Very fast to complete and you might get a key aswell
@@dodoslavn Im gonna make a little list of what is important with my level/gold farm: - Level 10/40/60 key - Story keys from Tangled paths and you can also get one from the HoT final story instance. - Explore all level 30-60 maps (except Lornars Pass, Fields of Ruin, Blazeridge Steppes. They take to much time) - Farm EVERY single Ore and Wood node - *!Dont!* rush your level at 35 to 55 since you getting T3-T4 Blood/Bones and stuff. Take your time and jump into mob groups and farm the shit out of them. I get around 150 of all T3-T4 Blood etc. You dont have to hunt all groups, just take those which are on your way. - If you are level 35-50, always try to do the Meta event of Harathi Hinterlands (the part before the attack where you defend their base for 7min against Harathi waves. You will get around 40-60 crafting lootbags) - Timberline Falls and Mount Maelstrom are a huge plat and hard wood farm. Farm them once in a while or every 2 Hours. - Explore at 80 All three Orr Maps. They mostly take 20-30min per map. - You can also trying to do some instances since they are actually funny when you arent max level. (Plus you get some free gold after 5 different paths.) So in the end you get 5 keys from story and around 3-5 (can be more or less because of RNG) and a shit ton of crafting materials to use or sell. Of course this takes way more time but thats my way to kill time for some content updates lol
@@shattered_prism No week limit,also no story level limit.We had some farming gear,and took an average of 7-9 minutes with a party of 3-4.But on the other hand the rewards were crap,and I was doing just for black lion tokens used for weapon skins,with a low drop,and transfusion stones or what they're called.Later they pumped up the rewards but also the requirements
@@shattered_prism For the longest time there was no limit. Some friends and I used to run the farm HARD back in the days. It's sad that they killed it although chest rewards seem to be ALOT better now. I'm just glad I kept a couple stacks of keys around from my farming days
ye i did the same back then. and good old times were, when you could spend 50 gold to buy 25 keys in the store. still have a screenshot from 2013 summer, where i complained in the guild chat, that gems are up to 42 gold for 1000 (!) gems. its 10x the price today
Just a few tips here for those that do this often and don't want to pop tomes of knowledge since they can be used for spirit shards. Get the best level 0 and 10 armor and weapons, and don't forget the runes and sigil's, because these are not soulbound so you can use the same gear every week. You can power level to 10 in less than 45min in the worst case scenario, but normally its much less than that. When you finish the intro switch to your level 0 gear, then power to 10 and switch to the lvl 10 gear then follow his instructions. Please note you can do this with any race, but the human has a few really easy paths that take less than 15min. Don't forget one last step... Every week when you finish, remove all your gear, delete your key farm character and then create it right away so that you can keep your name reserved for you and the do the intro and put the gear on. You now have a week to get to lvl 10 and start your next run.
You can get four additional keys doing the lvl 40 chapter, lvl 60 chapter, LWS2 "Into the Labyrinth" chapter and HOT "Roots of Terror" chapter, these keys do not have the weekly cap.
If you are planning on farming every week, i would recommend getting a bloodbound gs for 10 faction provisioner tokens. It is accountbound so it can also be xfer to each character or the bank.
I did not put to take gear/armor/weapons in guide since you get already weapon & some armor while leveling & from rewards during guide. I tried to buy some, I saved about 30s so for me it was not VERY worth it. but if you do this very regulary yes it may be worth it :)
You can use the warhorn you get from rewards to give swiftness to Thackary & Countess Anise to make them run a little faster in The Commander instance.
You can also use minor runes as well. ( I had a level 10 guardian that would run around constantly back in the day staff/gs obviously lv 10 equipment to) I was a part of a old guild that would speed run key farms when they were not limited lol.
7 years here...Also, did not know of that. Granted i won't be making any new chars since i've already capped one of every class (legit) but still great to know for when doing the key farming :P
You can put your Tomes of knowledge into shared inventory slot, and use them already during the tutorial (this way you can unlock some mobility spells - e.g. hunters greatsword 3 + that signet that gives you 25% movement speed)
Nice! I didn't know about skipping the boss! I usually use the roller beetle now that they changed how the stamina works for it (full bar when you mount up)
Nice video. I have loads of chests and no keys lol when i do get one i use it right away. Unfortunately i don't have a free character slot to do this with :( but i have added it to my fav list so when i can get aother slot i will use it for this.
If I may I would like to give my opinion on the key farming that this video shows. Doing it the way like the video will take roughly 15 minutes IF you have a mount. For free to play players (or players that havn't unlocked mounts yet) it will take about 5-6 minutes longer. But here is the thing, you can only farm this key once a week so I really don't see the point in rushing this. He is spending 8 tome of knowledge just to end up deleting the character while tomes of knowledge can be used to level up other characters like alts and such, most people (especially free to players) do not have those tomes of knowledge, not in bulk anyway. Sure, if you have 8 characters all maxed out with 8 different classes, done all the story, got all the mounts, maxed out your home instance etc etc. then it really doesn't matter, but for most people it would be a waste to use the tomes to just farm one damn BL key, its something you can do once a week. Do you know how long it takes to do all those quests while leveling your character normally? Well, with VERY cheap exp food you could do all in this video and level your character up by doing the hearts and killing monsters in about 2 - 2.5 hours. Without a mount it will take about an hour longer. That is not really THAT long considering you can only do it ONCE a week. Just make a character, kill the ingame music, put up your own music like EDM, Hardstyle, Metal, epic ochestra or something else and just punch this out in a short amount of time. You could even do it again and just log out before accepting the final reward and wait till monday again. I would never waste tomes of knowledge just to get 1 BL key unless I am really done leveling alts and don;t have a use for them anymore, most people that are watching this video are not at that point yet. @cellofrag; really awesome video, thanks for this! One suggestion though; try keeping in mind that there are free to players out there that do not have mounts, or gold, or tomes etc. If you can give tips and tricks in your videos that have 2 ways for each of the type of player then you can help/reach more people. ;) But don't get me wrong, I like your videos a lot!
Pretty sure most people here like how to make gold in gw2 I would highly suggest to join patreon and discord you get tips in advance most of time and also have access to other player in community that all have lots of good tips to share :) join the discord is by far one of the best things to do to gain knowledge on how to make gold in gw2 if you don’t really know where to start
Nice guide, I didn't know about a few of those skips. Btw, having waypoints in the chat can help speed you up a bit (so you don't have to open the map to tp) I also use the executioner toy axe to speed up movement in nonmount zones. I also usually get to level 80 so I can get the level 40 key, the key from the labyrinth story, and the easy map completion keys from HoT. You could also beat HoT for a key, but who has the time for that mess.
I forgot to mention the level 60 key... so that is 5 potential weekly keys plus the HoT completion key chance. all but the level 10 key can repeated as much as you want.
Thanks for the tips =D. I just have a few questions though : Do we have to be quick or is it just to show that it can take a few minutes each week? Do we have to create the new character after the reset is done? Do you know at what time the reset is made? I'm glad you showed us this, I have like 80 Black Lion Chest and I was wondering if I should keep or sell them =/.
No you don’t have to be quick, you can take 2h if you want :) it’s just to show an optimised run to get a key as fast as possible. You can create the character at any time, you can even complete the mission at anytime. But the key will appear as reward only once a week. The reset is during night from Sunday to Monday in french time :)
I don;t understand, wasn't the 1 key/week already in place? According to the official GW2 Wiki, "Since September 15, 2015, only one key a week can be obtained this way: completing a character's level 10 personal story will award a Black Lion Chest Key, but make the account ineligible to receive further keys from level 10 story completion until weekly reset on Monday 00:30 UTC-7. Further keys may be earned from other sources at any time. Prior to the September update, it was possible to obtain several keys an hour using this method; however, due to the added time-gating, the popularity of key farming has fallen.". Was that NOT true then?
this only works once per week, and you get one key on the first chapter, 3rd chapter and 5/or6th chapter of the personal story so just instant level a character to level 80 once a week get some non soulbound gear keep it in your bank and then just do the story quest till the 3rd key, depending on the gear you choose and the build you use, and learning the fastest travel times, and point a to b, and if you do it with others, then you can possbily get all this done in an hour or less .... and then if you really feel ambitious and want to get the most benifit, do map completeion on the character befor you delete it. 25% chance per map to get a key.
then no one would be here trying to learn how to farm keys using story and map completion any way so that is moot. ..... depending on how fast you know the story and maps you can get 3-6 keys in spending 3 hours per week
@@ligerbuddy lol i thought you were suggesting world map completion which takes ~80 hours. my bad. I personally do 1nd and 2nd story keys which takes something like 40 minutes
depending on what i feel like i do any were form the 1check point up to the final one, and sometimes 1-4 maps extra if i do 3 maps + 3 key check points in the story it takes me less than 2 hours shooting for the map keys is a gamble but i do the map complition for that 25% chance and to waste time
Tnx for the guide. I use a ranger with account bound gear for lvl 2, 5 and 10 for normal leveling for keyrun. I don't have a lot of tomes so i use them for another key char to skip the last lvls to lvl 61. I like leveling and normal farming/map completion. Also just doing full story @ 61 is fun. Accountbound gear with best damage runes/sigils. Keep up the great work ;), learned some nice tricks in this vid :) (skipping stuff).
I did 3 mistake, die 1 time (forget one mob and she came back when i was in a bad position^^) and do 24 min, for a first time, it's good ! Now i'll do it every week !!
you can tp directly from instances to the next wp, that will save you some secons from the loading screens and it cost just some coppers btw, what this the best way to use tomes of knowledge? i usually use them to farm weekly 3 keys up to level 60 bc i have like 10 stacks of them in the bank + a bunch of instant level up from birthdays gifts
I do not use something like this speed runs but last weak I got a key by leveling up my Char. I got a rare extra item, it was a old sword skin. This skin is acc bound and have because of this a price of like 2.5k g XD
Curious how does this average to 15 gold? Just an estimate I assume? I get the intrinsic value of the key, since it's worth 125 gold, but opening the chest usually nets me garbage.
Excelente como siempre, es algo que hago cada Lunes, pero ahora lo puedo hacer mejor jajaja La diferencia es que completo el mapa de zona, para ver si me toca otra llave (cuando no tengo libros), y ya si tengo tiempo, llego a nivel 40 para la llave asegurada.
I posted this on a couple other videos about this key farm and I’m curious what everyone has to say. The once a week limit. Is that straight up across the board or just for making these new key characters? Say my 8 boosted characters that I actually wanna start playing the personal story. Does that mean when they hit their personal story they won’t get the key if I already got one that week? So it’s a waste? I shouldn’t do more than one personal story key a week? Get what I’m saying ? Also is that all parts of the story that reward a key? Even the higher level parts? Say on one guy I hit the first part of his story that gives a key but on another guy he is closer to the end of his story that gives a key later on. Will they both get keys or do I really need to limit myself to ONE single key per week. These are very important questions as I don’t want to squander my keys. I hate to have to limit my play in any way but it needs to be known 100%
Hey Cello, is it me or is Lord Faren faster? Also I use flame thrower /engineer . Also I use the lvl 20 tomes since i have 29 Characters and don't ever need lvl 20,30,40,50,60 tomes again.
Heroes band? wtf I dont get one of those and I preodered. Also.. Warrior is very solid. Thief Shortbow 5 for teleporting can also serve you well if you have low ping. Not really sure which is faster. optional - Bank a set of level 10 +power gear with +power precision runes and Air/fire sigils on your weapons. You can transmute it so you don't look like a scrub while keyfarming and reuse the gear every week. (helm/shoulders requires the free armor set from the digital delux/heroic editions if you want a helm/shoulders equipable before level 11). It's a huge damage boost.
you forgot to mention in the video description that it is in 15 minutes but weekly bound. i know you explained it in the video but it should be clear there as well, so the description is just to attract views
it dosent reset each monday, meaning if u do it on sunday night just before 12 u will not be able to get and do another 1 after 12 :) tested this out myself
I allso do mappkompletion of grothmar walley for the mapp chest, got before black lion Keys somtimes but loks like they maked hiden paths of it that black lion key dont drop from map completion on lvl 3-9 Characters atleast for me it dont do any more
@@Cellofrag so its totally not worth to buy from store. It costs 41g~125gems and you get average 15g... bought once 3-4 was so disappointed to never buy again
It's average, you may get less but you may get more. you can unlock very expensive skins & got high chance to drop Black Lion Weapons Skins that you can sell for 30-50g
@@Bod76 Yeah, in the past you could do it infinite times, get the reward, delete the character and do it again and again and again all day long, now you get the reward once per week.

Oh I didn't know you could skip the boss in the tutorial lol. Also, thief is faster with double pistol skill 3
no, warrior dual axe
I do the same across three accounts. The green level 9 pistol doesn't soulbind, which allows me to share the pair in the guild bank.
Wow finally something to use all my level 20 birthday scrolls on. Thank you for the guide!
Ahh, dammit, I destroyed those.
If you create a character you wanna use anyway as an alt, you could level him up by crafting as well ^^
You can get four additional keys doing the lvl 40 chapter, lvl 60 chapter, LWS2 "Into the Labyrinth" chapter and HOT "Roots of Terror" chapter, these keys do not have the weekly cap.
True ! But it will take a lot more time :)

There are nearly always people killing the boss.
7 years here...Also, did not know of that.
Granted i won't be making any new chars since i've already capped one of every class (legit) but still great to know for when doing the key farming :P
Probably been mentioned already: Level 2+ characters can skip the tutorial instance entirely by using the unlocked waypoint.
Saves 1-2 minutes.
You can put your Tomes of knowledge into shared inventory slot, and use them already during the tutorial (this way you can unlock some mobility spells - e.g. hunters greatsword 3 + that signet that gives you 25% movement speed)

Why didn't you use the warhorn you looted from one of the story rewards to get some swiftness to save a second or two?
If you save rewardbags and open them on a lvl 80 character you get higher lvl awards. I usually do that. Is it more profitable to open them directly?
im too lazy to do this / forget it. But you are right !
Home Portal Stone > Walk out door behind you.. instant skip tutorial
or teleport to guild hall and then exit back.
Awsome cause I have a raptor and can you make a video to get all mounts?
My favourite gw2 youtuber
this only works once per week, and you get one key on the first chapter, 3rd chapter and 5/or6th chapter of the personal story so just instant level a character to level 80 once a week get some non soulbound gear keep it in your bank and then just do the story quest till the 3rd key, depending on the gear you choose and the build you use, and learning the fastest travel times, and point a to b, and if you do it with others, then you can possbily get all this done in an hour or less ....
and then if you really feel ambitious and want to get the most benifit, do map completeion on the character befor you delete it. 25% chance per map to get a key.
nobody has that much free time lol
then no one would be here trying to learn how to farm keys using story and map completion any way so that is moot. ..... depending on how fast you know the story and maps you can get 3-6 keys in spending 3 hours per week
@@ligerbuddy lol i thought you were suggesting world map completion which takes ~80 hours. my bad. I personally do 1nd and 2nd story keys which takes something like 40 minutes
depending on what i feel like i do any were form the 1check point up to the final one, and sometimes 1-4 maps extra if i do 3 maps + 3 key check points in the story it takes me less than 2 hours shooting for the map keys is a gamble but i do the map complition for that 25% chance and to waste time
Tnx for the guide. I use a ranger with account bound gear for lvl 2, 5 and 10 for normal leveling for keyrun. I don't have a lot of tomes so i use them for another key char to skip the last lvls to lvl 61. I like leveling and normal farming/map completion. Also just doing full story @ 61 is fun. Accountbound gear with best damage runes/sigils. Keep up the great work ;), learned some nice tricks in this vid :) (skipping stuff).
First run tar dye and saved wrapping paper for 27g total aside of unlocks for wardrobe ;) thx cello
I did 3 mistake, die 1 time (forget one mob and she came back when i was in a bad position^^) and do 24 min, for a first time, it's good ! Now i'll do it every week !!
really useful guide, thanks, also really good music, any chance to hear it on any music platforms? whats the title? thankyou very much!
Thanks for the vid. I 'd love to see you back in PvP :)
Cello you can trade all buffs from your bank in lion's arch, for a single variant buff near black lion npc
I also go for the second BLC key which you get when you finish the first mission of Order.
I use a home portal stone to skip the intro mission and also wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Moa_Haunch is a cheaper food with the same effect :)
Good Idea!
and no one talks about how much gold he has. :P dayum you TP baron. GJ on vid
AMAZING VIDEO, THANKS
you can tp directly from instances to the next wp, that will save you some secons from the loading screens and it cost just some coppers
btw, what this the best way to use tomes of knowledge?
i usually use them to farm weekly 3 keys up to level 60 bc i have like 10 stacks of them in the bank + a bunch of instant level up from birthdays gifts
How do you skip the first tutorial boss? I always have to wait for it to spawn...
will level 20 boosts work??
Wait I read that wrong, you can boost your character to level 20 yes,
I do not use something like this speed runs but last weak I got a key by leveling up my Char. I got a rare extra item, it was a old sword skin. This skin is acc bound and have because of this a price of like 2.5k g XD
Curious how does this average to 15 gold? Just an estimate I assume? I get the intrinsic value of the key, since it's worth 125 gold, but opening the chest usually nets me garbage.
Good video.
Excelente como siempre, es algo que hago cada Lunes, pero ahora lo puedo hacer mejor jajaja
La diferencia es que completo el mapa de zona, para ver si me toca otra llave (cuando no tengo libros), y ya si tengo tiempo, llego a nivel 40 para la llave asegurada.
I posted this on a couple other videos about this key farm and I’m curious what everyone has to say.
The once a week limit. Is that straight up across the board or just for making these new key characters? Say my 8 boosted characters that I actually wanna start playing the personal story. Does that mean when they hit their personal story they won’t get the key if I already got one that week? So it’s a waste? I shouldn’t do more than one personal story key a week? Get what I’m saying ? Also is that all parts of the story that reward a key? Even the higher level parts? Say on one guy I hit the first part of his story that gives a key but on another guy he is closer to the end of his story that gives a key later on. Will they both get keys or do I really need to limit myself to ONE single key per week.
These are very important questions as I don’t want to squander my keys. I hate to have to limit my play in any way but it needs to be known 100%
Great guide thanks! What is the name of the song? :D
Casually 65k gold lmao
And also getting excited over 10 silver worth of copper doubloon.
Meanwhile having 15 gold gets me excited lmfao
Thank you for guide.❤️
Hey Cello, is it me or is Lord Faren faster? Also I use flame thrower /engineer . Also I use the lvl 20 tomes since i have 29 Characters and don't ever need lvl 20,30,40,50,60 tomes again.
he hecho esto antes pero con otra ruta no se si sea mas rápida pero checare por si lo es para pasar el dato
Muy buen video gracias❤❤❤
Y si lo fue?
Do we need only one character in use?
yo cello ont t'a peut ètre déjà saoulé avec sa mais c'est quoi le nom de la zik ^^ tu as vraiment une bonne bande son dans t'es vidéo :p
thanks for the video, man.
Heroes band? wtf I dont get one of those and I preodered. Also..
Warrior is very solid. Thief Shortbow 5 for teleporting can also serve you well if you have low ping. Not really sure which is faster.
optional - Bank a set of level 10 +power gear with +power precision runes and Air/fire sigils on your weapons. You can transmute it so you don't look like a scrub while keyfarming and reuse the gear every week. (helm/shoulders requires the free armor set from the digital delux/heroic editions if you want a helm/shoulders equipable before level 11). It's a huge damage boost.
I keep coming back to this video for the music.
What if I do the lv10 story with a char that already did?
Will it give the key too?
you can make the story only once per character no ? :p
@@Cellofrag ah right I forgot u can't repeat that part of story ^^
Does this really consider farming when u can get one key per week 😅 before it used to be a lot but anet always destroying us
you forgot to mention in the video description that it is in 15 minutes but weekly bound. i know you explained it in the video but it should be clear there as well, so the description is just to attract views
you can skip the boss?? can you do this with every race or just human?
Nicely done, updated, 2020 speed run "Key Farm" Cellofrag ...... sure is a shame it's been cut to 1 a week.
Thanks for this!!! Sadly I don't have a free character slot, guess I will have to wait until it's on sale :(
will be on sale in march :)
@@Cellofrag gracias por esa info! yo tmb soy cuenta free xd
any story path works? i have some 80s characters and never played the story.
yes all story path work, the path i used are only the fastest :)
Yo cello i wanna start playing Weaver s/d on pvp and wvw when can we get an updated video on combos and power/condi Build?
still up to date : ua-cam.com/video/pDSJwE7d9us/v-deo.html ;)
😯 nice!!
Name of the song?
it dosent reset each monday, meaning if u do it on sunday night just before 12 u will not be able to get and do another 1 after 12 :) tested this out myself
It reset during night Sunday / Monday, but it depends of your world location ofc
@@Cellofrag did my quest after 12 am sunday into monday, didnt get the key
I allso do mappkompletion of grothmar walley for the mapp chest, got before black lion Keys somtimes but loks like they maked hiden paths of it that black lion key dont drop from map completion on lvl 3-9 Characters atleast for me it dont do any more
Ayyy, chello, my man.
Cuantas veces se puede hacer en el día ?????
Started doing this for the first time ever, I'm gonna keep doing it until I run out of tomes of knowledge, which is about 3 stacks....
Merci beaucoup!
I like the music ❤
does this still work today? story seems different when I enter home instance with GS equipped
Ok, now how to get 8 knownledge tomes per week?? tips for ease farming these?
Play PvP (reward tracks give A LOT), play WvW (skirmish gives A LOT), make the dailies :)
You said one key was about 15 gold, I fail too see how. Mind to do a video about BLK best uses for gold ?
Just open the chest, the average loot including skins unlock are 15g :)
@@Cellofrag so its totally not worth to buy from store. It costs 41g~125gems and you get average 15g... bought once 3-4 was so disappointed to never buy again
Thx for the content Cello; but i did this maaaany times and no way the average worth of a black lion key even comes close to 15g
15g i mean
It's average, you may get less but you may get more. you can unlock very expensive skins & got high chance to drop Black Lion Weapons Skins that you can sell for 30-50g
Gladly i didn't delete my lvl 20 scrolls
I do the same every week, but with an ele :P
yeah it's totally doable :p
really nice tip!, sadly its just once a week :(
I heard that long time ago it was not caped at one per week, you could did it again and again.
@@Bod76 Yeah, in the past you could do it infinite times, get the reward, delete the character and do it again and again and again all day long, now you get the reward once per week.
Cellofrag What is the song that You use
How do I make gold with the loot tho... I'm new to this chest opening thing.
I just created a new character to obtain the key
AT LVL 8, I GOT THE CHEST FROM A CENTAUR, hopefully it will worth it
no build for gear?
hmm I prepurchased the game but don't get that ring, strange
You forgot to add to your title (1 black lion key in 15 minutes... *Once a week*.
What's the music?
