Amal Stronghold cleared

Me and my brother (50 PUG and 48 MRD) went in for kicks, it's a lot of fun. We got past the 3rd gate to what I think is the second chest. Tried to get it but we didn't know how to get the key so we left. Will definitely do again once I get more info.

That word is taboo on these forums, too much mention and they might bring the same system over here which no one wants.

But back on topic, congratulations, I went into the strong hold last night for the first time and it was so much fun, cant wait for the one that was cut out of 1.19, the strongholds have made the game so much better, well until we have everything from them lol

We're spamming it on Lindblum.

Key drop rate is very low. We dropped 1/10 atm.

Cobalt Shamshir inside the treasure -.-

Yup, as Pop said, we dropped 1 gold key in about 2h farm so far... and only the stupid crafted sword dropped :S

We even killed it inside the cage to let him drop! .. But voodoo theory didn't work ç_ç

It's a low-rate drop from the mobs who protect each chest.

Then when he respawned he popped with 2 others beside him.....

Happened to us as well when we beat it last night, no adds at all, maybe first ones to kill on server meant the hard one hadn't spawned yet?

got gold key but it gave a jade crook :/
