so i normally farm act3, usually on mp4, but try higher ones once in a while for "fun"
my normal route starts with rakkis crossing, taking me north to see if 'underbridge' spawned, then south to see if the 'bridges store' has an elite in it so maybe its total coincidence, however! whenever bridges store has an elite, kw drops me a key, irrespective of the mp value. I've done runs on 3,4,5 and even tried one on 7 (took forever). The one time i did the run on 7, the bridges store was a store, no elite, and no key! yet on most of my mp3 runs, i get keys everytime an elite spawns in there strange? coincidence? what is your experience? |

I'd really like to just say it's RNG coincidence, but given how often rare or legendary items drop twice with completely identical stats, I wouldn't doubt that there was some other problem with the game's randomization.
I guess if you really wanted to be more sure, you could always start your run at the stores, and re-start the run if there's no elite. Do this a bunch and you'll either be proved wrong, or you'll get a ton of keys (especially if you do low MP). |

This is RNG.
To test, try 5 runs on MP0 and you'll have your evidence. |

@euggie
I did an MP2 run last night with 300 MF and 186 resist (oh yea). Finished clearing (skipping spider and Azmodan) under 60 minutes. Bridge stores has an elite, I was killed once by his reflect damage. I didn't get a key from the KW. So, probably RNG. |

Maybe it's just you, Euggie. To bad we can't buy some of those "guaranteed" keys from you. Try and find the pattern to the other acts as well, lol.

so i tried on mp0 4 times, the first 3 times, no elites in the bridges store -> no key
4th time elites spawned but still no key :( i'm going to try mp1 maybe there is some "prereq" like at least mp1 XD |
