drop rate is as rare as it can get. TH2, 5 hours, zero drops from golems. These ore golems still EP to my 60 THF. Moon phase doesn't matter as I gone throughout full moon w/o a drop in the past. If you're wondering why Life Belt and scroll of Teleport Vahzl cost so much, its because the key drop rate is pathetic. --Ayrlie 05:12 (CDT), 27 August 2006
I believe your best bet is to target anything between 45-50 in the zone, which means Shadows would be the ideal target. --Aurikasura 06:33, 27 August 2006 (EDT)
If you're a THF60+, why not just pick the stupid box? Orenwald 16:24, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
Got this key drop while doing the Tea with a Tonberry? quest. Party set up was 52 PLD, 61 THF, 53 BLU. Killing only Shadow's, we got 2 key drops within 10-15 minutes. I'm sure Treasure Hunter II played big part.--Catas 10:26, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
I killed about 15 Shadows and obtained 2 keys with TH2. HarryXI 03:14, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
0/185 Underworld Bats, 0/49 Ore Golem, 1/244 Shadow. Screw you, Fei'Yin. --Almost Unsane 12:55, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
Fought Underworld Bats for 3 hours or so on Map 2 near Eastern/Western/Northern/Southern Shadow spawn points. No drop.
Moved to WHM AF area (J-10 on Map 1), killed the two Shadows there, and the second one dropped the key >< --Jhubsch 18:26, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
