Antica Chiave della Cassa di Guo-Lai drop from Mogu mobs in the Vallata dell'Eterna Primavera, typically killed while doing Loto Dorato quests. Antica Cassa di Guo-Lai are located in the Guo-Lai Halls (northwest Vallata dell'Eterna Primavera). There are several spawn points and depending on what phase of your reputation with Loto Dorato, some of the locations may be behind closed doors. Right now it appears that only 2-3 spawn points are accessible at all times, and if they aren't there for you, it may mean that someone else recently opened one (respawn timer is unknown) or they may spawned in one of the more numerous spawn points you can't reach. Early on, luck will play a factor on whether you can see one of these, until more people reach higher reputation to get to the other spawn points. Opening a Cache will complete Un assaggio di storia.

Your first opportunity to more easily access the closed off areas is at Honored reputation only while you are on I segreti di Guo-Lai. During this quest, you have access to the Hall of Statues.

Later when you reach Revered, you'll get a quest chain starting with La Lancia da Battaglia del Re del Tuono which opens all the hidden areas of the Halls and likely will see far more Caches than you have keys to open.

Locations I've seen:
Entry Hallway - (47,85) between two statues
corner of first room
Guo-Lai Ritual Chamber - (65,72)
Hall of Statues - (27,47)
Hall of the Serpent - (64,18) (54,17) (59,13) (58,6) (71,27) (50,62)

Sampling of contents:
1. ~38g, Reliquia del Re del Tuono, Reliquia di Guo-Lai, Spirito dell'Armonia, Lesser Charm of Good Fortune x 6, and Modello: Diamante Primordiale Cinereo (I'm a Jewelcrafter)
2. ~38g, Reliquia di Guo-Lai, Lesser Charm of Good Fortune x 6
3. 21g, Gran Tripudio alla Pandaren, Spirito dell'Armonia, and Lesser Charm of Good Fortune x 4

Commento di Malvenue

Confirmed as above. While doing L'Elmo da Battaglia del Re del Tuono I found several chests in the back room. First held 34g 72 26c, a Reliquia di Guo-Lai, 6x Lesser Charm of Good Fortune and an Seta Imperiale (I'm a tailor).

2nd chest held 36g 84s 64c, a Reliquia di Guo-Lai, 6x Lesser Charm of Good Fortune and a Reliquia del Re del Tuono.

Commento di diclah

I'm on live and I have picked one chest at coords (46, 84).
I'm only friendly with Golden lotus, have finished my daily.
so I think only a rare drop.

link of my achevement here

Commento di kolokonde

Just turned friendly, entered the Guo-Lai Halls (no quests needed) and headed on to the right wing (the only one I can enter). There was a giant spider called Bloodtip "Ashweb Matriarc", protecting one of this chests, just Blinded the beast and open it up. 4x Lesser Charm of Good Fortune, 1x Reliquia del Re del Tuono (385 Golden Lotus rep with guild perks) and 1x Reliquia di Guo-Lai (165 Golden Lotus rep with guild perks).
As said above, keys are dropped from the area mobs, got 4x Antica Chiave della Cassa di Guo-Lai just doing a daily quest.

Achievement here.

Commento di 907260

Got a key right before I turned Friendly - no chests...checked again after turning friendly. Also, no chests.

So - have to be at least honored, confirmed at Revered by Karadine.

Commento di belloc

For those of you who can't find any chests, try this:

Walk up to one of the closed doors (assuming you still have low rep) and ask someone from another server to invite you to a group. As soon as you accept the invite, run forward as the door disappears. There may be another door behind it, so stay in the group until you reach it. Once you reach it, leave the group and run through again.

This is probably considered exploiting, but it is relatively harmless. Enjoy!

Commento di THunter

I can confirm the dieing behind the door and ressing on the other side works.

I'm only friendly so can access the right ring, I let the spiders kill me behind the door straight on ( I think its the Revered access one?) and ressed on the other side, then it did it again on the door past the trap area.

The chest was right there infront of me on the other side.

Got the achievement, but my chest only contained 6 lesser charms and the blue token hand in for 165 rep.

Commento di Zerel

Did anyone get key while NOT doing dailies ?
Im so close to beeing honored (one relic would put me there)
I decided to try farming one key so I can have shiny epic robe and gloves for tonight raid.
But so far only keys i got dropped while i was doing daily, so anyone knows if they can drop while not on daily quest?

EDIT:
Outside Guo-Lai is bunch of spiders today so i farmed in Golden Stair, and one key just dropepd ;]

Commento di Kenfuru

Whatever you do, do not back out of the chest before looting. Don't be a fool like me and bring your priest friend with you. You know, the one that will life grip you out of the chest... If you back out before looting, your key will be used up and you CANNOT re-open the chest as it will lock once again and you will need another key to re-open the it. For those of you who are friendly you can't see the chests. I am 5607/6000 friendly and I was able to find one. You just have bad timing if you can't find one. They are behind the doors, and to get to them you must kill yourself to walk behind them. A quick tip, when you die at the second door (because they do not spawn behind the first), the chests can be found on the bottom floor (yes there are two floors). You CAN rez on the Z-axis and accept your rez on the bottom floor. They are right under the stairs, you do not (as far as I know) have to kill the serpent dragon thing in order to find them because they wont spawn behind him. Best of luck, and remember, don't bring a priest.

Edit: Because I can't English.

Commento di 367551

I just got one of these keys do you get anything interesting with this?

Commento di 1042049

Ive only seen 1 chest spawn in the main rooms, i kept seeing other people go over to the door behind the alter when the stone guardians are and pull one and just die. of course i needed to do this to see what was up. i went to get my body and kept going then went through the second set of doors (barn doors) then went all the way down stairs where Milau is located and rezed my body directly behind him but far enough away i didnt pull cause he seems pretty nasty. I do this several times a day and each time there is at least 2 chest spawned down there. last night i found 4 chest. ran out of keys.

Commento di Silvansaria

Okay so I went here to check it out. It is indeed a legit area to camp however.........................

It seems after about half an hour of camping them - the screen suddenly went black and I was transported to the Golden Pagoda.. I'm pretty sure that wasn't by design - I'm thinking a stealthed GM stepped in and transported me out. I know this is a heavily farmed area now because the drop rates are so high (in comparison to other areas I mean) so maybe GM's are starting to monitor it now...

I got one key and about 3 Motes of Harmony (and about 5 greens). I'm gonna try it again some other night and see what happens - but this is something to think about - has anyone ever had that happen before?

330am - Nordrassil server

Commento di exen

To clarify on some of the chest spawns inside the final room- I spotted two, one on the landing with 2 speedboost circles, and another right next to Milau. The chest next to her is very close, but opening it doesn't aggro if you hug the railing.

Commento di Ursamajor

GM's don't have to stealth, that is a ridiculous assumption that he teleported you anywhere..

Commento di Deathlord

So far I have noticed three spawns you can get without reaching the locked areas.

First spawn would be when you first enter the ruins you would turn right towards where the spider are when you enter that room from the entrance the cache can spawn at each side of the entrance.

The third spawn would be behind the elite spider which are easily solo'd by a Windwalker Monk.

Edit: Confirmed another can be found when you just enter at the shrine between the two first Quilen statues.

So far I've seen 4 caches that can be found without entering the locked areas.

Edit2: When you're running down into the ruins when you reach the first turn to continue go down to the right there can spawn a chest at the left side at the Mogu Statues. So far that would be 5-6 Caches that can be found in the area that are not locked for people who're not on the quests at honored and revered.

Commento di Groklin

If you go to a door, die at the door, (having a mob kill you) you can res on the other side of the door. Carry on and proceed as normal. If you go straight, you will have two doors to die at, will have to kill the dragon Milau and the chests will spawn there as well, 2 chests I believe if you kill Milau, who isn't that hard.

Nice little cheat if you don't have the rep but have the keys.

Commento di Lawkstarz

There seems to be a nerf on Cache key drop chance.. i usually loot about 3 a day but since yesterday and today i've only seen one drop.. may need to reset %tables..

Commento di cloudio

For those who are not honored/reveared with Golden Lotus and want to go further deep in Guo Lai Halls (in specific the doors on left side / infront as you enter the first hall ); you need to die about a yard of that locked door , run back as ghost and release when you are on the other side of the door. Note that you will need to hearthstone/teleport after your done.

Good luck hunting

Commento di 262755

Found spawn point in Hall of Statues -- first platform coming in on the right.
Also coming straight in the hallway to Hall of Statues -- one spawned in the time I was writing this.
Hall of Statues is your immediate right after entering the vaults.
I'm at revered standing if that makes any difference.

Commento di 1048176

im actually curious as to what the % drop of this is. ive found it 2wice since ive been doing the golden lotus dalies and im now almost revered on the 2nd drop.got my frst on my frst set of dalies at neutral.

Commento di 715772

IMPORTANT NOTE:

I received an Antica Chiave della Cassa di Guo-Lai today, so naturally I entered the ruins to open a cache. When I opened the cache, I earned the achievement Un assaggio di storia. I clicked the achievement pop-up at the bottom of my screen to read the description, and my loot bag disappeared, along with the cache itself, and the key in my bag. It's very similar to the problem that people are having with moving while looting a cache. So, for anyone reading this that has a key and hasn't used it yet...

AFTER OPENING THIS CACHE, DO NOT MOVE OR CLICK ANY OTHER PART OF YOUR SCREEN UNTIL YOU HAVE LOOTED ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE CACHE.

I have a ticket open to Blizzard right now, but it's a three day wait, so I'll have to come back and edit this post after they respond.

Edit: I just got my ticket response, and as I expected, they're not restoring any items to me. Apparently they went through game logs and couldn't even find any evidence of my character even opening the cache. All the more reason to be careful, I suppose. Hopefully they fix this obvious bug soon, though.

Commento di AutomaticFrog

I opened a cache earlier today in hopes of finding something useful. I got a glance at what was in the cache for a mere second before I was, for some reason, teleported to "the Golden Pagoda". I had no chance what so ever to pick up the content in the box. I don't know what this was, perhaps a bug. But I advise anyone who opens a coffer to shift+click or enable auto-loot before opening it.

Commento di Lawkstarz

If you need a cache and lack the rep to access other areas then you can get killed next to a door and rez on the other side.. **Repeatable warning** Don't close the chest or move a muscle until you've accepted to loot everything in the chest or it will relock on you.

Commento di setari

There is nothing really important at the back of the Guo-lai halls, past the elite, there is no special chest or anything. I just died ten times trying to get there, spawned behind the spirit wall and it was all for nothing. So just pick a chest and leave while you can.

Commento di lcarnegie

I can also confirm as only friendly reputation, bloodtip did indeed have a chest behind him. As a rogue I couldn't sap him but I could indeed blind him to get the chest. I got 6 lesser charm of good fortune and a relic good for 165 rep with golden lotus

Commento di SomeChillGuy

I'm starting to believe that these keys only drop during the daily quests, not after completing them. Currently i'm 183 reputation from revered, and have spent 4 hours today farming them, and not a single one has dropped. I've gotten well over 80 motes of harmony, and two shards, but no key. Can anyone confirm/deny this possibility?

Commento di izaul

Finally found my first key, opened a cache and received 36g83s59c. With rare relic of guo-lai (165 rep) & 4 lesser charms.

Commento di Randuthayne

Regarding the comment someone made to turn on auto-loot... the problem with that is the items you loot being soulbound and requiring you to click a button to loot them. If you open the chest, you may get the blue relic, but you still have to click a button to get the epic relic and to loot the lucky charms.

Moving away from the chest before you manually click the soulbound items will close the chest.

Commento di Jayrai

I was told that these will only drop off Mogu.

Not true! :)

I've found a couple now off Quilen, inside the Guo-Lai halls.

Careful not to move before you fully loot these chests, as you don't get a second chance and the loot is forever gone. :(

Commento di toredem

This is regarding the issue people have with a chest being unlocked and then shutting a second after displaying loot (without moving), only to lock again before you can gain the BoP rep items:

Helped troubleshoot a guildy's issue by turning OFF autoloot under Interface-->controls. We remain uncertain as to why autoloot was causing the window to shut immediately (addon, glitch, no idea!), but this method resolved his problem:

It appears as if the chests are coded to act similar to a fishing node. As with fishing, you click your bobber (i.e unlock chest), yet if you move or click off anywhere else, you lose your fish (i.e. your chest rep items). Something was affecting autoloot and making it seem as if the player clicked off the window, and thus lost the loot.

If this is happening to you, go and fish with autoloot off to ensure that you can manually loot properly. Now you should be able to go back to the caches and unlock them while your loot window remains open. The fishing step is highly recommended as the first time my guildie turned off his autoloot, it did not accept the change. (In other words, it turned back on or the setting change did not take affect). The fishing test helps you to not lose your key.

Good luck!

Commento di 984584

Just to confirm something about everyone telling people to turn on there auto loot... It is still not a for sure thing that you will get everything from that chest even with auto-loot on for the simple fact if you get Reliquia del Re del Tuono, Reliquia di Guo-Lai, and/or Lesser Charm of Good Fortune you will still have to click yes to accept one of them and then click on the other/s if you get them. So the best thing i can advise is making sure you loot these before daily reset and dont move or else you will lose loot, rep, the key and the time spent on getting the key..

Commento di 1060866

Alright I just got two keys, but I'm already exalted on my druid and seeing as how these keys are "Soulbound" it would appear that they are now a complete waste of bag space. I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that I finished the questline in which you recieve the Epic 489 necklace once your exalted with the Golden Lotus, but I can't see any Ancient Guo-Lai Caches in the Guo-Lai Halls where I normally would find them. If anyone has any further info on this please drop a line.

man,, i give up,, im at honored rep, and killed exactly 286 shadowtien conquerors and fists... took me about 45 minutes and still havent got a key to drop.
not one

biggest waste of time in this game ever.
word of advice... just do dailys

Commento di 538990

I levelled a shadow priest to 90 to make my new raiding main, and I have a raid tomorrow. So I needed to get 90 lesser charms. I did a few dailies, got up to 30 of them, so with dailies tomorrow I'll have 60. I need 30 more so I decided to farm a couple keys. First key I get, I go open a cache, and it only has 1 lesser charm. I thought it had 6? Everyone always said they had 6. Did they hardcore nerf it? It's complete bull.

Commento di Panflute

You don't always get both rep tokens from a cache. The last one I opened I only got the blue one for 180 rep. Oh well, off to farm another one so I can get exalted.

Commento di 83Gibbo

Wanted to confirm the key drops even after you have finished all your dailies, got one off of a Shao-Tien Fist

Commento di 1018858

I m revered with golden lotus.

had 7 keys, so thought why not explore the goulai halls and see how many chests/cache i can find. in a very short amount of time i found 7 caches and got 7 relics. giving me 330 rep each. feeling extremely lucky.

just be sure to explore every corners as possible. 3 cache was behind the quest elite mobs so had to kill him 3 times to get to the cache.

Commento di 1082654

I've read several comments now and I must say I'm suprised that you have managed to obtain so many of these keys.
I am currently 93 rep away from being Exalted with the Golden Lotus, and I've only looted 1 single Antica Chiave della Cassa di Guo-Lai. That key was found today (while being revered).
I've also been extra farming these Shao-Tien monsters (for about 2 hours) with a focus on Predone Shao-Tien. During this farm I found one Frammento Celeste (and is the only one I've looted so far). Also I found a Ultime Parole di Daelo from Squarcianime Shao-Tien in the vicnity. However, no key was dropped during that farm either.

I hope this post helps you to realize the drop rate of that key.

Commento di DpX008

Just so you guys know, you CAN ask kindly to a GM and he CAN restore your key.
I lost my key yesterday and a GM actually helped me.
Here's the ticket with the response:

Me:

I was in Guo-Lai Halls and I had an Ancient Guo-Lai Cache Key. I saw an Ancient Guo-Lai Cache that I obviously opened. It dropped a Relic of the Thunder King and I didn't have the time to see the other item. I got attacked by a bunch of Ashweb Hatchling so I backed off, I couldn't loot any of the item in the Guo-Lai Cache. The chest disappeared and my key did too. I don't know if you can restore these items for me, and if you can't, just fix this for the next patch please.

GM Answer:

Greetings Tankatör,

Thank you for contacting us about the issue you were seeing when using an Ancient Gou-Lai Cache Key. When something doesn't work the way it’s expected it can be frustrating; I know what you mean, I've been there too. You're in good company.

Other players have put in similar reports on this. I do have some good news for you right away though! I was able to check into this and see where the key was being used and that you weren't able to loot the chest. Considering how this went down the other items were created on this end, but I was able to send you another Ancient Gou-Lai Cache key to replace the other one =) You were able to loot the 35g though, so it's like another shot and a bit of extra gold for the any inconvenience.
At the same time, I can tell you are quite passionate about this. I've gone ahead and put in a report with our Quality Assurance team to take a look at this right away. Every report helps in these cases, thank you for letting us know about this.

As a side note, we've put in a new way to report bugs directly to us. When going to make a ticket there should now be a "Bug" button over on the left. Using that button to submit the bug is a direct line to our QA and Dev teams! I am sorry about any inconvenience with this, and well do everything we can to get this sorted out so it doesn't happen in the future.

Thank you for your time and patience. You're awesome and World of Warcaft wouldn't be the same without you =)

they MASSIVELY nerfed the droprate on these.

on my mage i kill the same enemys at the same spot and barely ever get one key.

no, im not just unlucky on my mage, i grinded so much to be sure, that i got 6 skyshards in that amount of time and hardly 10 keys.

Commento di phoenixeternia

Just started golden lotus dailies on my hunter today. already got 2 keys. Not sure if the drop rate has been increased or not. I normally get 1 a month... fingers crossed an increase in drop ^_^

A sort of helpful comment... sort of heh

Commento di prickskytt

For you who are farming these I can tell you that it's VERY random how they drop. I've been farming for 3, yes 3 hours and I've got 11 keys and 2 Frammento Celestes . There was a part where no key dropped for about 30 minutes and then I suddenly got 2 keys right after each other. So basicly. Don't expect a key to drop right away. It can take a looong time beafore you get one. And a tip for you with 2 or more level 90s. If you are revered on a character I suggest that you get the Grand'Encomio del Loto Dorato. That way you'll get allot more rep worth the keys! I hope that this helped you out a little! :)

I must say that the crate/cache spawn time is something about 5 minutes, since this was the way to open 5 caches in a row spawning at the same point, down there, in a room with beefy looking Mogu, just look at your right between the column and the fence at the water :)

Commento di sdkphoenix

These are still dropping in patch 5.4, and the caches haven't been removed.

Commento di 473253

I just spent nearly half an hour fighting my way through the halls, trying to find those ruddy Antica Cassa di Guo-Lai. It seems they have been moved in 5.4: they are now all on display on the stage behind Milau, the dragon that can be found in the Hall of Serpents. They're guarded and positioned neatly in rows and on plateaus, as though the Mogu decided that with the events in the Vale, their treasures were not safe enough.

So if you find this key, then instead of running around inside just head straight past the central altar, through the room with the tiles and past the Ancient Door, down the ramp and down to the back of the hall. If you see a red serpent, you're almost there. :)

Commento di 533861

These are used to open Ancient Guo-Lai Caches, which have been moved in 5.4. There are two places these are now found - One is in the Guo-Lai vault, where you'll have to find a glowing orb while stepping on the white tiles to bring down a barrier where the Caches are, and the other is past the Hall of Tiles, down stairs and behind Milau, a red Cloud Serpent.

Commento di Effectrix

As of 5.4, these contain cooking recipes, and from my experience, each cache has a 100% chance to drop one recipe, though since I've never seen the same one twice, I'm assuming that the same recipe can drop from more than one cache for you, but you won't be able to see it, so it'll look like no recipe dropped. These recipes are:

Seasoned Pomfruit Slices (+300 agility)
Spiced Blossom Soup (+300 intellect)
Mango Ice (+300 mastery)
Farmer's Delight (+300 spirit)
Stuffed Lushrooms (+450 stamina)
Fluffy Silkfeather Omelet (+300 strength)

Commento di Alexianoryuu

In my personal experience the past two days, it seems the drop rate for these has been increased slightly - however, that may also be attributed to me killing the Mogu in the nearby area of Guo-Lai Ruins much faster.
The higher rate of Mogu deaths is certainly coming from me having better gear, but also from me using the Pietra Runica di Guo-Lai for the "debuff" Runa dell'Ascendenza since the 5.4 change to these objects in the ruins area.

Commento di amzraptor

Best Place to farm these is at the Ruins Rise.. killing Fists and Sorcerers, they have a really short re-spawn timer! Good Luck!

Commento di Miztahchipz

A final update before you read further... After spending a few days on this now, I can definitely say I believe its your luck and RNG that determine both keys and items you receive. There may be info in the following paragraphs you may find useful, but the main points imo are: 1) Primarily due to fast respawn rates inside, Guo-Lai Halls is still the best place to farm. 2) RNG is in play here and like anywhere else, you can have good days and bad in regard to the keys dropped by mobs, the actual recipes dropped by mobs, and loot in the chests.

I cleared the center room at the bottom of the main flight of stairs (including the boss, easy at i533) and had a key. Then I went to the right for more mobs and the large spider boss. All very easy and gave me 2 more keys. The trash actually respawns pretty fast.

I went back to the center room and many of the mobs respawned (not boss, they take a while longer). This time I went left as others have commented before. Now that I had 3 keys I was anxious to try my luck to get some of the new recipes. Lots more mobs all the way there and picked up 3 more keys! (6 total)

**** Update **** Unfortunately my luck ran out. After getting 3 keys on my JC within 20 kills, I opened 3 chests and then nothing, I mean nothing after 50+ kills! Even though my key drop rate sank to zero, I still like it best in the Guo-Lai Halls. Respawns are fast, fast, fast and I liked having the whole place to myself. Still need 6 more JC recipes, so I'll be going back soon! *** 2nd update *** Got nothing off 3 more keys, but 2 mobs dropeed two of the recipes I needed!

As I entered the last room, to the left was the globe to make the wall come down. A few statues may come after you, but no big deal. As mentioned by other comments, there were about 10 chests on the back wall. Inside were multiple items, some of which may include new ingredients, additional caches to open, stacks of mats (ore, leather, etc) and of course new recipes! *** update *** the globe is not always in the same place in the room, it can move day to day.

I got two recipes out of the 6 chests I opened. So I went back thru the halls again clearing mobs and then coming back to the chests. All the mobs had respawned except the bosses. I was able to collect another 5 keys which got me 3 more recipes. The best part being the next 3 were all ones I didn't have!

I decided to give it one more time. So I went back, cleared trash, got 3 more keys and came back to the chests to see if I could get the last recipe. Sure enough, I got the last one! I believe that its very possible based on my results that you won't get a duplicate recipe. RNG or luck, not sure.

** Note ** you will see bags of rice lying around as you cruise the halls. They respawn promptly as too. They are also one of the types of "fresh" ingredients. So you may want to check to see if you need some before leaving the area so can use them in a recipe before leaving the Guo-Lai Halls. Just so you don't have to come back for a while is all.

After seeing another post for JC recipes here, I plan on trying the same basic method with my JC next to see if it might work for picking up some of those elusive meta gem recipes I still need from the MoP expansion. I hope it works the same and I get all the ones I'm missing without duplicates. I'll post back if it works. Happy hunting!

**** UPDATE **** Yes, it is working for my JC. More important, the chests are giving me MoP recipes not only that I don't have, but also is continuing not to give me duplicates! So far so good, it is definitely a much better way of getting those elusive recipes you've been either missing, dreading mob farming in the rest or Pandaria or both! GOOD luck everyone!

Commento di OwlGirl

Maybe it's just RNG playing tricks. But both me and my son did not get any keys after looting Shao Tien Cage Key. I then made hubby try. No keys until he ditched Shao Tien Cage Key. After he got several cache keys. Try it. No harm done anyways as they drop a lot.

Commento di Cleavagee

Drop rate seems to have significantly increased since 5.4.

Have lewted 13 in just 1 1/2 hours.

Commento di Cakeybear

Fairly certain that the drop rate has been decreased again; Used to be able to farm 20 keys in 1 hour's time. Now, maybe 5 in 60 minutes.

Commento di FarmerJoe

The drop rate seems to skewed by RNG, the typical drop rate for me is 7 keys in 60 kills, and the 0 after that. I have found only one thing that works to get the drop rate back up is to leave the area and come back. Now this could just be coincidental luck and placebo affecting me, yet the first mob I pull after coming back always give me one or two keys while pulling 10 or 12 mobs after that will reward for lower to no reward.

Helpful tip to all:
Inside drops less than outside, from my experience, so get the ones in camp. If you have a friend who is a DK or other solo killing machine class to help you farm is amazing. As a cloth mage having a DK nearby can increase your kills by huge numbers, even with shared loot.

I am unsure if this has been mentioned as I only took a cursoury ctrl-f keyword search to find out, but I discovered that an inordinate amount of keys were dropping for me when I had a friend in party stick me on follow with free-for-all loot enabled. I seemed to be picking up any keys awarded to their loot - I averaged about 6 keys/30 mins (this has not been scientifically tested :) ).

Winterbough Glade seems to be the best area to farm these. Lots of mobs as well as the ones with the highest drop rate (6% according to wowhead data). They spawn fairly quickly too, depending on how fast you kill them you won't even run out of mobs. Even if you do, you can just clear the area above and come back too. This area is located just a little south of the halls entrance, on the small encampment.

Farmed 1000 of these with a friend (2000) total.. We went for many hours everyday for 2 weeks...

Farmed 8 in 30 minutes chasing the cooking recipes.

Farming Guide: Just kill anything with Shao-Tien in its name. I found that I could clear the Shao-Tien MOBs in Guo-Lai Halls and by the time I had opened the Caches they had respawned. Starting from the deepest room on the left (the one filled with statues, and which has the Treasuer Chests on the dais) I killed everything, going back through the entrance hall, and to the pool at end of the hall at the right when coming in from the stairs. I did not go up the stairs toward the entrance, nor down the hall straight across from the entrance stairs. Heading back to the Treasure Chests, the MOBs, and Treasure Chests, had respawned. Each repeat of this cycle, produced 3-6 keys.

On yeasterday`s farming none key has been droped during 20 mins...hope this was only bad luck.

Commento di Onomatopoeia

It's fully dumb luck with regards to how many keys you'll get.

I slaughtered just over 500 of the Shao-Tien mobs and got more Chiave delle Gabbie degli Shao-Tien than I could count but only 5 Antica Chiave della Cassa di Guo-Lai.

I was ready to declare a stealth nerf from the 6% drop rates listed here.

Then I got 10 keys from the next 100 kills.

RNG sucks sometimes.

The toy "Battle Horn" can come in handy a lot.

I killed approx 100-150 mobs and got 2 keys within the first ~30 (as well as primal diamond designs and a ghost iron lockbox) and got the Sapphire Cub design from the second chest I opened. Definitely start at the very Northwest of the zone and work your way down into the monastery where you'll end up at the chests and hopefully have some keys by then. Good luck to all!

Commento di Grammie

I cleared the whole place and got one key...REALLY ?

Commento di Daralyn

then I wen't on the plaza outside of the entrance...pissed... and got three keys just from clear place once

Was farming these on my alt and didn't receive any until I was honored with the Golden Lotus, so worth bearing in mind.

Commento di Elliandola

I don't see any mention of this for the most recent patch for those of us who are farming for skyshards and the best way to get them is from the guo lai cache. The fastest way to get keys is from the Golden Stair from the Granite Quilen. Park yourself at 44.97, 24.16 and just wait for the quilen to come to you. I got roughly 20 keys in about an hour.

Commento di Wolkenrenner

Any updates on this one? If you have the time and patience, it's a good place to loot small (22-38) amounts, Took me about a year to gather 700 keys. Yeah, I have no life. :)

Commento di daaani

As of Shadowlands, these can be TRASHED !

Commento di unclevinny

BTW, if you're farming these, there's no reason to go to the far NW corner of the temple. There's a series of spirit walls that you can open to get access to a set of Guo-Lai treasure chests, but once you're in there's no way to get out that I can see, plus there are very few mobs in there that will drop keys for you. (A character who was on a quest was able to walk right out...maybe that's the secret?) Besides, there are plenty of chests in the room with the dragon elite Milau and they respawn quickly.

Commento di AdenAndrews

Got all 6 cooking recipes with only 6 keys. Appears to be a 100% drop. No duplicates. I am max 75 on all 6 cooking types. That may have contributed.
