Mine dropped on my first chest. Guess I got lucky.

Комментарий от 14862

lol i got it first chest too... even already had a key lol

Комментарий от 19672

First chest, lawl

Комментарий от decker12

Heh, first kill, first chest, 2 minutes tops.

Комментарий от 23774

Got this Fragment on my second chest, only had two keys so it worked out. Random drop on the keys, about 35% for me, and just be patient w/ it.

First Naga killed, key dropped. First chest opened, documents.

Комментарий от katn

if you got no luck on the documents
drop it and try again
got it on first box

Комментарий от 26219

killed sirens. They drop keys and you use them to open the boxes in the area. Found it on my 4th chest opened.

Комментарий от 16754

if only fish oil vendored for more :/

Just come prepared with some food/water

Комментарий от 34106

Pretty frustrating. Had to open roughly 20 chests.

Комментарий от 35894

I fail to see the point in "haha, got it on 1st box" or "arrgh, took forever." There is no need to keep posting tha same inane crap. The key is a random drop based on a % chance, and you can't pick the lock. It could take a while. The end.

Комментарий от Marfu

Took me quite a few chests to open. But in the end; This might be a coinsidence, but there are 3-4 chests around Lady Shav'rar at 45, 29 where I got my fragment at the top of their base.

Комментарий от 27662

Got this in my second chest. So far with all these quest chains, I have gotten really good drop rates.

Комментарий от Zeratul

46.31 after maybe 15 atempts, but good thing was that from every chest fish oil droped, wich shamans need for water walking

Комментарий от 43561

I got the key on my 3rd kill, and fragment on first chest got lucky

Комментарий от 41292

yeah i found mine at 48,29 also. gl

Комментарий от Unholyacid

Went through 5 or 6, got it behind Shav'rar aswell.

Комментарий от 52738

got my on the first one :P

Комментарий от 27085

Got mine from the 1st chest ^^

Комментарий от 34916

It is NOT necessarily in the chest behind Shav'rar. I just found fish oil. It's random.

Комментарий от 38338

First kill, first key, first chest =)

Комментарий от 53439

i got the Key on my 6th or 7th mob but Fragment in my first chest.... lcuky on both my Warrior and Mage

Комментарий от 39479

Took me about 12 keys, off maybe 25 guys or so. Wasnt too bad, the non-mage ones never dropped one key for me. I went up to the boss and did not get it and then got it from the chest just to her left a ways.

Комментарий от Mubaris

47,28 Second Kill, First Chest just to left of main gate

Комментарий от 42043

Second enemy for key, first chest for fragment.

Комментарий от 73668

I got the frag on the second chest.

It was very easy.

I picked off some of the outside guards, trying to take them out without dealing with mobs. Also, it's easy to find chests that are away from NPC's.

Комментарий от 72660

Got it from quite deep within the Cistern, after having to kill about 15 mobs before my first key dropped, I then consecutively got keys from each mob. 5 chests opened in all.

Borg.

Комментарий от Mymloch

Abysmal drop rate on both keys and the item for me

two thumbs down

Комментарий от 76827

I get a %50 drop rate on the keys.

Opened chests for miles and still looking for the frag. :|

Seems individual experience with this one varies pretty widely.

Комментарий от 77639

I dropped at 44,27 killed two Naga and an Elemental.. The second of the two Naga dropped the key and used it to open the chest right next to me to claim the Cipher. Thanks

Комментарий от 81081

Walked up, killed the first mob I saw, it dropped a key, after reading the comments here decided to try the chest near the named mob. I'm a priest so I mind soothed most of the mobs and didn't have to fight anything on my way there, aggroed the named mob and killed it. Opened the chest directly behind her, bingo. First cipher.

Easiest quest ever.

Комментарий от shortleif

Well opened like 10-12 chest with no key, found the fragment behind the Lady..

Комментарий от 37792

I got the fragment from behind the named mob also. It's worth trying definitely.

Комментарий от Dakai

got it on my first chest, just after i hit lvl 70. felt good.

Комментарий от Cybersonix

here is the key: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=30426#unlocks

Комментарий от Infernus

I killed three guys, got three keys, got the cipher on the first chest i opened.

Infernus, Dawn of Damnation, Quel'dorei

Комментарий от 90015

easy quest, 3rd mob i killed dropped key, and first chest had cipher, just luck with this i think

Комментарий от 76410

Quite Surprising...

As of day after 2.3 Patch, the correct chest sparkled like an herb.

May get fixed, but certainly makes life easier for now.

Комментарий от 104031

since 2.3 u may have noticed quest items that u need to loot sparkle (as do herbs, and mining nodes i think)

well for this quest that means the chest with the cipher frag is sparkly too.
i killed 3 naga to get key, opened sparkly chest and got cipher 1st try. i'm not sure if its ment to be the same chest every time but mine was on the podium near a named naga, aprox: 44,29

Happy hunting.

Комментарий от 110318

Once you get a key , dont waste u time opening all the lock boxes. Look for a lock box which glows. This will surely have the quest item.

Ps :- I realised it after 10 attempts.. lol

Tyrage - Rogue

Комментарий от 74836

SPARKLING BOX

Комментарий от 111697

After the new patch, the chest you need sparkles. This should save time.

Комментарий от 52390

In the last patch, they made it so that groundspawns for quests sparkle. I think this is something that they did by an automated process rather than manually, based on whether a groundspawn is *specifically* for a quest, because it appears that the chests containing the cipher are a different spawn object than the other chests. In any case, as of the patch you can tell which chests have the cipher, because they sparkle.

Incidentally, if you head into the cave system directly beneath Oronok One-Eye, not only can you get the keys off the naga, but there's an arseload of chests to be found. While you're at it, there is an Earthmender Whatserface who you can get a quest to escort out in the north end of the cave system.

Комментарий от 114563

Agree with the previous post, the quest item is in the chest that sparkles, don't bother opening the other... You just have to find the sparkling one :-)

Комментарий от 123392

Since the patch where quest items sparkle, just look for the naga chest that is sparkling and it will contain the cipher of damnation. 100% chance

Комментарий от MeatGolem

One more for the confirmation list.

Did it last night, first chest i opened. Thanks very much blizz :P

Meatshiéld, 70 Fury Warr, Dragonmaw EU

Комментарий от aamiic

Confirmed, defintetly sparkles, near named at 44.5, 28.8

Комментарий от 41367

The chests are pickable to a rogue with max skill (and most likely lower since it is green at 350).

Комментарий от 128821

the keys happened to be a 100% drop for me i killed about 5 of the nagas and got 5 keys, then i flew around looking for a shiny chest and i got the cipher from the shining chest...easy quest

Комментарий от 99597

@ 46,25 is a box that sparkles!this is the one!!

Комментарий от JustMax

Completely random. Got mine at 44,31. As of 2.3 this chest sparkles :P

Комментарий от frenik

I'm not really sure you guys, this might need some testing, but the chest that's sparkling has the cipher in it. You're welcome for this new information.

Комментарий от 137706

45,26 - Found the chest sparkling, first chest

Комментарий от 134417

Yup since patch 2.3.0 chest with fragment is sparkling so you can find it easyer then before

Комментарий от Magla

Yesssss finally got it, its taken me over 55 chests but ive got it!!!!
(If you dont get the point of this comment ill spell it for you. The drop rate is the biggest ^&*! over in the whole game of WoW)

Комментарий от Subache

WTS
well....the one behind lady whoever succeeded for me...

i think ill keep my fish oil.

Комментарий от jelito

after opening 30 chests (i dont want even know how many naga kills it took me to gather keys) i saw on thot scrnshot with that tower, went there and did open 3 chests... cipher was in third... im not sure but its highly possible that nearby that tower is greater chance for drop then anywhere else. 74,29

Комментарий от 129612

My first naga killed got the key, :], first chest it dropped. The chest did sparkle for me, every chest seemed to sparkle for me. Above there are sparkle theories, I don't think they're true unless it's a 100% chance. Coincidence may have been what it was. None of the chests had non sparkles for me.

Комментарий от 138583

All the chests sparkled for me, whether i did or did not have the keys. I tried all your golden spots and none worked. All in all like all quests like this its a matter of luck, not a golden spot. All chests are equally good. Got mine after opening 20+.

I'd suggest farming a few keys before you actually start opening, it goes much faster this way (in comparison to "getting a key - opening a chest" strategy). Prefered non-caster mobs due to annoying bubble of the caster ones. Plenty of those can be found at the gates, a pair at each.

Комментарий от 92712

Dont know why, but the chest behind Lady Shav'rar seems to have a bigger drop chance..

Looted 2 chest near the entrance and went up to kill Shav'rar after reading this.

Voila, got it.

Комментарий от 172465

it droped for me on the first moob LOL

Комментарий от Allakhazam

2 kills, one key, one chest, one Q item

Easyest Q in the World !

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Just want to point out that you need only one key to drop... from a previous post "third key/third chest" I assumed each key was a one time use kind of deal... not so. Got the key from the 5th or 6th mob and opened only 2 chests- found it in the 2nd.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Location: 46,29 ..
Took me about 9 kills. 5 chests opened. not too bad.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I'm pretty sure that the chest I opened was whiter and slightly longer than the other chests where I failed. Maybe this can be confirmed/rejected by folks doing this quest in the future. Kind of like that quest in EPL where only a certain shade of book was the right one to open.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

First kill, one key, first chest BAM got it. 44 , 26

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Worst quest in the game imo

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I had to open 19 chests to get the quest item, did mind tho :)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

this damn quest took me more than 60 chests to get the item. about 3 hours - i am a protection warrior. was no fun in any way....

Комментарий от Allakhazam

3 naga killed, 2nd lockbox.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

the quest is lame - every chest needs a new key

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Took about 12 different chests for me :(

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Whoever says you need only one key is WRONG. I am currently doing this quest and you DO need one key for EACH chest opened.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

6th chest, after many kills. Do your other quests first, this ones a git.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

hehe first chest i got it lol

Комментарий от Allakhazam

:) got it on the first chest!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Got mine on the third key/third chest =D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

wow.....im on the 26th chest. am i doing something stupid? getting the keys from the things, then opening the chests around the cave. I DONT WANT ANYMORE DAMN FISH OIL FROM THEM! I WANT THE FRAGMENT! (i got 2 stacks of fish oil now, they better @#$%ing sell good)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

There are dif chest all around so make sure you get a few keys

Edited, Jan 25th 2007 10:42pm by xxsisniperxx

Комментарий от Allakhazam

After more than An hour and a half I finally got my piece. Drop rate for keys is about 45%, I opened around 30 Chests, my piece dropped at 54, 31
Good Luck, you'll need it.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

45% key drop rate my a. more like 10%

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Camp opposite him, 3 keys from 5 mobs, 1st box had the fragment. Took all of 2 minutes.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

4 mobs, 2 keys. 45,31 chest.
2nd chest. w00t

Комментарий от Allakhazam

It took a lot of chest, but when I got to it it had a sparle round it.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Chests are pickable. If you are a rogue, don't need to worry about keys.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Got it on the 3rd chest.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

spent 30 minutes killing and looking. nothing! have to go back since guild needs for a 5 man. cant wait to do more : /

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Yep, new patch made this too easy. Ignore all the Coilskar chests but the one's that sparkle...the fragment will be in there.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

2nd mob got key.
first chest got fragment.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Haha, I got the key on the first mob and the first chest gave me the Fragment :)!

45,27

Комментарий от Allakhazam

this is by no means a 100%. the key itself has about a 55% drop rate (for me anyway, 9/16 nagas killed dropped it). and the papers took me 9 keys to get. hope you all have better luck than me

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Found mine at 52,27. I have read on thott that many ppl got it at that location.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I reckon I opened about 30 chests. Patience is needed. You may be lucky like some posters, but the drop is definitely random (I found my fragment in a box I'd already opened once before).
And yes, you do need one key for each box, not just one key in all. So there's a lot of naga killing needed.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Drop for me at 45.7 26.0 and the box was sparkling

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I got my Cipher from the third box, but the key drop rate was like 1 in 10 for me :(

Комментарий от Allakhazam

About 6 kills, 5th chest, 47,29.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Quest details have been updated.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

2 keys / 2 chests / 3 kills

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Worst quest in the game imo

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Got key from 5th mob. Opened a chest, and there it was! teh_lucky ^^

Комментарий от Allakhazam

first mob, first chest!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

haha, got a key on the first kill and got the cipher on the first chest xD

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I got it at 52,27 in the very first box I opened - in the box under the small structure with the red roof. Amazing.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Three kills until my first key. Killed 6 more mobs yielding 2 more keys - dropped off the first box.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I found a room in the cave, with 7 chests lined up against the back wall. I opened the one in the middle, and it dropped. Nice. =D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Well getting the keys was no problem. But the chest containing the damnation was a bit of a #$%^&, Id say about 19 chest's.

It be great if I was under 70 due to the grinding, But when you just want the gold it was a waste of my time. Watch out for the Sirens, Their bubble and their ranged attack really does suck.

Good Luck

Комментарий от Allakhazam

took me about 6 chests to get it. Getting the keys is the hardest part imo.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Did this on my lock. Killed six or seven outside, then entered the cave. The naga are far enough apart so that ganging isn't a huge problem. Killed about a dozen, getting keys about every third mob. The first segment dropped from a chest at 54,18, which is on a ramp that leads upward. It's an easy, but annoying, quest in the chain.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

wasnt going too hot, was prob around my 20th chest pop
dropped a /prayy . . . got cipher

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Dont listen to the other ppls comments this quest is not that bad, it was not instant cypher for me but it didnt take me that long to kill 3-6 mobs get the keys and open the chests, and im a prot warrior too

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Just did this on my paladin. Flew in, and killed three naga outside the cave, which yielded two keys. Opened the Coilskar Chest that was just to the left of the cave entrance, and got the quest item. No sweat.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Got mine at 46,29. Checked 52,27 first and there wasn't even a chest there. Looted every other chest nearby and got nothing. Went back across the bridge and got it in 2nd chest I opened.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i had spare keys, i had to kill one mob - lady something, and opened the chest WHEEE!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

got it from 17th chest

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The keys seem to drop off every other mob and the chest are all around 47,32 I got it on the 4th chest

Комментарий от Allakhazam

one of the most anoying quests ever...all i need is one chapter of this *!@#ing book and i killed almost 20 naga and opened more than 10 chest, no first part of this crap

Комментарий от Allakhazam

1 key 1 chest.. Complete

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I was pretty lucky. The key dropped on the first kill and the fragment was in the first chest I opened

Комментарий от Allakhazam

OMG 40 mobs and 17 keys later

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I spent 20 minutes grinding around.. got some greens and cloth and whatnot.. about 30% drop rate on the keys.. And a bunch of fish oil. I'm reconfirming
LEWT THE SPARKLY BOX ONLY

its got the item in it.

The box I found it in sparkled like a lootable drop.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Drop for me at 45.7 26.0 and the box was sparkling

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Worst quest in the game imo

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Maybe becuase I was 70 already, first kill, first chest, job done.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Crap, this is damn lousy design, I am sick of killing and opening boxes with no luck getting the stupid thing!

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Right here's an update. Since 2.4 all the chests now sparkle, also chests all look the same (so ignore the bits below). Took me about twenty keys, and I got it from a chest that I had looted about 10 mins earlier (they respawn), so its a random drop. Gonna require some grinding and some luck.

Комментарий от gjoeyjoe

In TBC Classic, there is no sparkling chest. Just have to open them up until you get the Cipher.

Комментарий от Onyxiaking

In case someone is looking for up to date information for TBC Classic, none of the chests sparkled for me, not even the one that contained the cipher.

Seems to just be purely RNG based, got it after ~10-15 chests and they all looked the same.

Комментарий от teh603

As of Phase 2 TBC Classic, the chests do *not* sparkle. I got my Cipher Fragment from a chest that wasn't sparkling.

Эта мерзкая нага – уже четвертая, которую я допросил сегодня. У него какой-то модный доспех, и я решил, что он может что-то знать. Все остальные были для меня пустой тратой времени.

А этого, стоило только один раз ударить, и он тут же мне все и выложил.

Первая часть кода спрятана в сундуке наг, в лагере Змеиных Колец, возле водохранилища Змеиных Колец к востоку отсюда. Он сказал, что наги хранят ключи, которыми открываются сундуки. Возвращайся ко мне, когда найдешь код.
