That awkward moment when farming key bosses when someone asks, “who’s got a key?” and everyone sits there in uncomfortable silence at the entrance 💀 But seriously, what is your go to method for getting gold skeleton keys? I’m lazy and just do daily assignments on all 7 wizards.
I actually would strongly discourage ever doing key bosses without a full group because the more people you have with you the more chances someone gets a key back. Sometimes if you just hangout around a key boss's dungeon sigil you'll find people going with open spots or in some really cursed scenarios they'd waste a key to solo a boss like omen or hellspawn not realizing what they're even getting into. You just need to be mindful of everyone's level because of the stupid level gating prize pools. Personally my favorite way to get golden keys is doing spiral scene and spiral showcase in tandem with daily assignments. I think the keys from the loyalty store is actually kind of a waste because often times the loyalty store has rare and valuable items you can't get any other way like the astral elegant gear or perm versions of pack mounts.
Just get the monthly keys as there is nothing else in the rewards shop worth buying. I don't farm spellements every month or on every character. And those I do farm on get spread to their appropriate school. Hasn't caused me problems yet =)
I’m new to Wiz so I’ve been trying to watch as many guides as possible, but yours are the most entertaining to me! It really seems like you know what you’re talking about and I’m really inclined to take your advice! You actually take time to explain things through and take into account new players. Can’t wait to see more from you! :)
I think at this point I have 40-50 gold keys all from doing daily assignments along with badge rewards; getting 12 keys a month if you're consistent with all your characters from assignments is definitely the best way to do it
Happy to see someone share a strategy I found out myself, I never spend money on this game besides membership so I had to find ways to get all the stuff other people also had. One thing I always do (since I just finished maxing out my Grizzleheim lore spells) is help a life wizard unlock Rat Spin if they don't have it yet, so long as I have enough gold keys. If anyone wants Grendel's Amends, Hammer of Thor, and especially Rat Spin, please DO NOT spend money on the packs for it, it's incredibly easy to get and you can even do it solo like I did. So long as your wizard is below level 30 King Borr has no cheats, so you can just have one wizard as your King Borr farmer. It also can go by faster if you get a friend to just kill him for you immediately, but they won't get any rewards of course. Or have a friend also use a lower level wizard to remove the minion's shields with wand hits and feint borr so you can kill him fast while they also get the rewards. Takes about 8 gold keys to ensure you unlock the spell. (I don't recommend maxing them unless you don't mind doing side quests and events like I do since it takes over 100 gold keys to max them out) Doing either method takes 15 minutes or less for you to unlock the spell, or even all of them. Of course, other gold key bosses unfortunately have no tier without cheats, so if you want Ship of Fools you're stuck doing Portal of Peril or Drowned Dan. Another great guide Zaepha, helping wizards save money one video at a time. Edit: There is currently either a bug or change that nerfs all wizards, even if proper tier level, in skeleton key bosses, and even though you get nerfed to the proper level you still get no rewards anyway. This is hopefully a case of KingsIsle's buggy code again since this is ridiculous if not. Edit 2: It was indeed a bug and has been fixed as of 8/2/24
Hi returning wizard to the spiral! Been gone for almost 8 years but am falling in love with the game all over again! I’m entirely uninterested in pvp and wanting to farm some of these gold keys. Two questions - can the keys be transferred from other characters on the account and would you be willing to run a few of the gold key farms so I can get the hang of it? I can check some existing characters to see if I have any left over keys that we can use to get started!
@@attica7 Heya! For your first question yes, keys can be transferred via the shared bank in your castle or dorm. Works for other event stuff like fortune coins too. Second I can show King Borr for sure. As for the others I don't farm any of them since it's only good for PvP, however pigsie is real easy if you do it low level and get a high level friend to hit. So I can show that as well. All my wizards are on Seraph realm, so if you want to set a time to do it I'd be happy to help when available!
@@ImpassiveSarge great! Should I drop my wiz code here? I have pretty bad memory problems so I will entirely forget where and when to meet up lol Also a very kind wizard tried helping me the other day and after our first attempt at Dan they just sent me 30 packs and I ended up getting SoF on my gfs death character. Now I just need ratspin for my life!
@@ImpassiveSarge but yeah I’d really love to learn the gold key runs so I can get the new spells on all my characters mainly bc I like them and they look cool!
Thanks for this video! Ever since they ran Darkmoor keys into the ground I was struggling to get keys and didn't really know the effective ways to get them lol.
I’d just like to say I saw rats spin on the thumbnail and I felt sooo good bc I bought my way to it along with the other griz lore spells realizing I just wanted to skip grinding 🤧
I did the daily assignment for such a long time to the point where I have too many keys😂. Also, the badge keys are pretty good as I had a lot on my max wizard already, so it was like a bonus when I logged in after the update.
its so irritating that in order to do anything theres miltiple different barriers and tasks that you have no way of knowing about without the wiki. This game is so unplayable sometimes
I’m dead 😮 I’ve been got the badges for the beginning worlds long before these updates back in 2014 🤣 I wonder if I search through my badges if the reward there
is it a Viable option to create new accounts and do wizard city and then get the gold key from the badge and move it into shared bank? Then delete the account and make another one (and do this repeatedly)
Since you have to do all the main quests and side quests in wizard city to get the badge probably not? Like I’d argue that time is probably best spent doing any of the other activities to get keys, but technically I don’t think there’s anything stopping you. You’d want to weigh how much time it takes to do every quest vs how many keys you could get in the same amount of time doing something else.

The glory days 😮💨

Its 100% my comfort game as well ❤️
this game is the opposite of comfort

Anyone else NEVER touched beastmoon? I have no idea how those events work and I’m lvl 170 😂
I haven't. There's no explanations for anything you just get notifications. And like?? why do I wanna do it if i don't even know what it is?
Thanks for this video! Ever since they ran Darkmoor keys into the ground I was struggling to get keys and didn't really know the effective ways to get them lol.
I just searched this yesterday, you read my mind and posted it. Thanks!!
the grind never ends in Wizard 101 😂 😂
thank you for the video
Not the video we asked for but the video we needed. Thank you
I’d just like to say
I saw rats spin on the thumbnail and
I felt sooo good bc I bought my way to it along with the other griz lore spells realizing
I just wanted to skip grinding 🤧
love your channel, been watching ever since your first video :) best wiz youtuber by far
If only i had friends to do gold key bosses… 😭
That may be the REAL challenge 😂
your guides are always so good 😊
PLEASE DO A STONE KEY GUIDE SINCE THEY CHANGED IT FOR DARKMOOR
Always putting out such goated content
I did the daily assignment for such a long time to the point where I have too many keys😂. Also, the badge keys are pretty good as I had a lot on my max wizard already, so it was like a bonus when I logged in after the update.
It was so funny logging on and seeing like 200 new badge alerts pop in over and over. I definitely earned a ton of extra keys that day too 😂
Ty for another awesome video this will help a lot
Hope we get a vid for stone and wood keys as well 🙏🙏🙏
Def on my list!
hi zaepha! your videos are amazing
Thank you!! ❤️
@@Zaepha of course ❤️
its so irritating that in order to do anything theres miltiple different barriers and tasks that you have no way of knowing about without the wiki. This game is so unplayable sometimes
like what if I want keys DURING the game. and not at max level
They actually went there. If you aren't a fan of Playstation games, you might not get the reference to Crash the Bandit Coot. ^_^
Love your videos, thank you 🙂
Bruh I was just looking for a video like this like 3 hours earlier
yes, do a wood & stone keys video
Hi have you made a pin guide? or do you plan to?
I’m dead 😮 I’ve been got the badges for the beginning worlds long before these updates back in 2014 🤣 I wonder if I search through my badges if the reward there
8:25 hit hard LOL

I need this bc I accidentally quick sold like 30 of them 😭😭
Is there a video for stone keys too?
Not an updated one, but I plan to make one soon!
And thank you
Remember when we could easily farm these in darkmoor?....ME NEITHER! Sounds like hearsay!
"Sell me your soul" 🤣🤣🤣
Could u gift me like 500 crowns? I’m like 300 short of buying mount Olympus please
anyone else think zaepha sounds like shes hot? or just me...
