:Disambig icon.png This article is about keys to chests. For access keys that activate products on your Guild Wars account, see Access key.

A key is an item that can be used to unlock a chest. With the exception of Lockpicks, keys can be used only once to open chests with a matching name. They can be purchased from merchants, obtained as loot, or (in some cases) obtained from reward trophy collectors (e.g. Equipment Requisitions).

The costs of keys, and the value of the loot they unlock, varies with the difficulty of the region in which they are used. However, the merchant value of chest contents is almost always less than that of the key itself.

Each use of a key costing at least 600Gold contributes one point to the Treasure Hunter title. Luxon and Kurzick Keys which are bought from Faction merchants also count towards the title.

Keys by campaign[edit]

  3. Kurzick Keys and Luxon Keys can also drop from the Echovald Forest foes and the Jade Sea foes, respectively, that spawn in Pongmei Valley, even though only Canthan Chests spawn in Pongmei Valley.
