[quote=“Mitheithel, post:8, topic:1771, full:true”] It also seems like getting some of the new materials would be worth it, as you can’t get them in other ways. [/quote] Sirrian told me at PAX that traitstones will also randomly drop during gameplay, much like iron keys do now. > [@](#): > > The only other thing I’d say is, if you’re on the fence about spending your keys now vs after patch, wait at least for the preview part 2! Completely agree. Subject to the next two preview parts, I’m going to keep my keys and gems for post-1.0.8. I’ll get fewer chances at missing troops but more traitstones sooner. so I’ll be able to craft more passive abilities on my favourite troops sooner. ---

We’ll be tinkering with that rate after it goes live… currently it’s set around 1 traitstone every 2 battles ---

Maybe a stupid question, but how in the world do you get all those dozens of keys from, do you buy most of them by gold? Im new, so dont offend me. ---

Random chance when matching in battle, 2 keys per 8 wins in arena, or the most famous way, guild tasks! These are three easy ways of earning Iron Keys without directly spending gold on them. Though the guild task way is negotiable in that sense. (There’s also maps, but no one does those. 😛) ---

Keep irons, use magics. ---

A low paced, poorly organized guild can hardly pump out 6 keys per week since the kingdom level reworking. ---

Haha, no. My key opening days are over assuming there is an auto button for already obtained keys. I will probably do a short stream/video showing several openings from each chest type as well as the results screen of opening 1,000s of gold and glory keys. xD ---

Even so, to aim on a pool of 10, is way better than one with ~190… ---

You get two keys for reaching at least seven wins in the arena. And a whole bunch each day from tributes once you’ve leveled up your kingdom a bit. ---
