Aphrodite is now a stone key boss

[bluedreamer]

I heard this was going to happen so just quickly went on test to have a look. Where do we get stone keys from now?

The Wiki lists the sources for each of the Skeleton Keys, like this one for the Stone Skeleton Key.

Hope that helps.

Is this a bug? I don't understand why these would change - @Sparck? @Eric Stormbringer?

Mirage key boss is now stone as well.

This is insane, with all the old gold key bosses turned to stone, meanwhile through daily assignments I'll have tons of gold keys and no where I want to go farm.

Gold keys bosses have been retooled to offer a ton more value with much better loot rolls. Thus, for gold key bosses that already exist where we did not change the loot structure- we changed the key required.

Sadly it's a pretty dumb move when players have lots of access to gold keys and only these new ones to use them on. As for better value you've got to be kidding me, there is like seven possible mounts from Omen, he drops mastery amulets I forget what else. What are you planning to do to make it so people can get more stone keys? Many players like myself used up their stone and wooden keys because devs said they are being phased out. Now they are even more valuable than ever.*Rolls my eyes*

Many of the new gold key bosses also offer mounts, as well as crowns items and guaranteed lore spellement drops.

Yeah but mount drops rates aren't very high are they! Omen for example had very good drop rates. I have all of them bar one. Still what are you planning to do about getting players stone keys? What are we going to do with excess gold keys and only a few bosses to farm? Seems pretty pointless to continue doing daily assignments for gold keys now.

Thanks for providing the video. Honestly these bosses that "offer" so many neat things - there have been loads of times I've joined a key boss battle and only gotten treasure cards, snacks and reagents. In the past several years I have farmed Aphrodite time and again with my friends, yet I have never seen any of us learn the Sacred Charge spell. We get the same rings and athames over and over and over again.

Are you saying now that the developers have decided we need to use Gold Keys to farm bosses like Lady Stonegaze that will drop Stone Keys so that we can go back to what used to be a Gold Key sigil? I feel this is some sort of devilishly torturous circular logic that I don't particularly enjoy.
