Hello Everyone!
Those of you who have had to go to Castle Oztroja to get the key (or may still be trying...) can you share how long it took, location, and how many attempts it took? I am becoming very discouraged for my Warlock's Tabbard (AF), so is an LS mate who also needs the key for his BRD coffer. We have tried on 4 - 5 separate occasions, for 3-5 hours each attempt, and numerous deaths and no keys - at all. Other very nice scroll drops (especially for BRD), and WHM AF key item drops... just no keys.
Words of encouragement and tales of triumph are VERY welcomed! Please share all your times, attempts, tips, etc... I would love to hear them.
=^.^=
Thanks!
PS - Anyone else needing this key? We would love to have you join us! Same with a trip to Beaduex!! /tell Aliiyah

Castle Oztroja Coffer key - real or legend?Follow
Well, I've been up there on several runs before :P The key is real, I promise. If you need help, just send me a /tell in game and if i'm not busy... 67PLD {You can have this} to help XD
BRDs Choral Cannions came via a castle Oz Coffer Key, if i remember correctly it droped within an hour so either I was lucky or you are unlucky. Keep trying it'll drop
it's real, i sat in there for 8 hours before my help arrived... then we got the key in about 5 hours, i stayed for another 3 hours helping the blm that came to help get a scroll he needed... the scroll still didn't drop tho... poor blm... but i was sooo tired... 16 hours in there does that to ya >.>
I assure you it is real, as I have my own tabard sitting in my safe to prove it. It took about a hour and a half for it to drop. It was me (56 rdm at the time), 74 whm, 74 thf/nin, 56 blm, and a 67 smn. We camped in what I think they said was the throne room. I would also mention that for some reason I have insane luck with getting drops. This was the longest it has ever taken me to get what I needed, whether it was a key or the 3 items for G1.
Patience is key. When i went to go and get my Key for my tabbard as well it took a good 3hrs? if it didnt drop in an hour we escaped marched right back in and began wacking again. For some odd reason when you zone in and out it changes things a bit i guess. Well for me anyway it seems to work =P

.... got 2-3 keys in an hour... 2-3 days in a row so heh its just bad luck dude lol get a thf to come with ya and ull get it for sure
Took my friend a week to get hers. :/
we got 2 keys in 10 minutes one time O.x
Yea... We decided to head out to Castle Oztroja to get a coffer key for one of our LS members... We were all 60ish (this was for one of the member's RDM job he's leveling) and went with a 60 THF too.
First mob we pulled by the big doors upstairs dropped the key... it was a BLM type mob.
We decided to try another one cuz the BLM also needed a testimony. This second one also dropped a key o.O
Fastest two coffer key drops I've ever seen, especially consecutively.

I wonder if this drop rate was changed in a recent update??? We have not tried for probably a month or two due to the horrid luck we had, so if any of these tales are more recent, it definately makes me feel a bit better. Now I just need to get the party together to give it another try! We now have a 2nd RDM in LS in need of the key also (Paragon ^.^ ) so it should be fun time for 3 key drops!!
(Already have the macro made for Aquaveil + Escape and in a REAL emergency, Chainspell + Escape!)
Thank you all for your posts and for any helpful tidbits that some provided!!
=^.^=
PS - Still also looking for people in need of a Beadeux key or that would just like to help... /tell Aliiyah

I'm a firm believer they changed the drop rate after they removed Astral rings from Castle O because I went to get a DRK in my linikshell a key and it took us 16 hours pre-patch.
This last sunday my gf and I got 2 keys in 20 minutes thanks to 3 lvl 75s that were farming Ninjitsu scrolls and didn't want the keys. One being a lvl 75 THF so I'm guessing that helped too.

Well folks, I was in there again yesterday for a few hours (with one Escape and regroup) and still no key! I MUST have the worst luck ever... man I KNOW I have the worst luck... and we had a THF with us the whole time!! Maybe I am meant to get a Vermillion Cloak instead.... /sigh... that will take care of Head and Body! We got scroll, The Yag Holy water, a judgement key (we killd a variety of Yags)and still no coffer key drop. I am a sad Mithra...

Thanks for the one kill stories... those make me feel SOOOO much better!

LoL yeah Algar is good for that. :-b
I have a couple LS Members that need this also. We seem to have pretty decent luck with coffer keys (got 2 GC keys in 20 mins last night) and when we go for this one I'll try to look you up. Most of the RDMs are sitting around 55 atm but there's one that's leveling to catch me at 60 for SP. I think he's close to 57 now and going to make an EXP push so we should be going soon. He's wearing Shaman's Cloack, however, so I'm not sure how big a hurry he's in to get his AF body. LoL.

as far as those 1 kill 1 key stories go.. It is possible, and honestly Lewbaby i would probably give it another shot since its been awhile from your last attempt, you will feel Pimpy fresh when you get your tabbard, and straight pimpin when you get your hat. Hehe as far as the Hat goes though from personal experience it isnt a cake walk to be taken lightly.
Leet! OMG, please grab me if/when you all do it - if you can and remember...! I am on late nights usually and days sometimes so please do! I also have a few other ppl that need it in my ls... 2 other up an coming RDM's (Paragon and Ezeus) and a BRD (Moaner)... but that we can work out later! I (and they) would be honored and delighted to join you!
I do still want the AF, just very discouraged is all... I hope I will get it one day. I have read up on the hat and it looks like 2 of the hardest AF fights in the game... (btw, how did WHM get off so easy???) Miser took the life of a couple of my LS mates (who shall remain nameless to protect their pride) who thought it would be fun to take the NM before we did Rank 5-1... LOL! Looks like fun >.<;;
I will keep you all posted... and let me know of any UPLIFTING stories ^^ and the "easy drop" ones too... just to get my dander up!! LOL!
Hugz...

Well, it would help a very great deal if could make this an LS event and go camping this with everyone lvl 50+ The more peeps, the quicker the kills, the faster you might be able to get the key.
Another thing that helps a great deal, is if you got *at least* 2 lvl 45+ THFs (the more TH2 going on, the quicker and more often these keys will drop).
THFs and Friends!! What you will DEFINATELY neeeeeed!!!!
