Dinkum – Old Keys Location Guide

It seems like you really want more keys to satisfy your treasure addiction.

Nie martw się; you’re in the perfect spot for help. This guide will show you the top locations to find old keys. Once you have them, you can easily go back to opening treasure rooms and discovering treasure maps.

Crab Pots

If you’re looking for a sustainable way to get keys, crab pots are your best bet.

Here’s the trick: when you bait a crab pot, there’s a solid 40-50% chance that you’ll end up with a key. Just make sure to set up your crab pots on water tiles that are two or three deep, and then add some kind of meat as bait. W ten sposób, you can keep the keys coming and feed your treasure addiction in an eco-friendly way.

Let’s break down the game’s algorithm for crab pots and the best strategies to optimize your results.

The algorithm takes into account the location of your crab pots. If you place them in the ocean, the equation includes less valuable seashells, potentially lowering the overall worth of the items you get. Z drugiej strony, setting up pots in a river excludes shells from the outcome. While this reduces the variety of non-key items, it might also decrease their individual value. Keep in mind that high-value ocean critters won’t appear in river pots, i odwrotnie.

Consider your goal – if you’re purely after keys, go for river placements. To maximize profits, you can set up a storage container near John’s shop to hold critters from the crab pots, which you can sell to him.

Teraz, even with the best strategy, you’ll still end up with some thongs, slippers, or flip flops. It seems like people in the Dinkum world lose their footwear frequently, and these items consistently wash up in crab pots. Korzystaj z nich mądrze, perhaps fulfilling NPC clothing requests or returning them to their rightful owners.

As for bait, you can source meat from various places. Hunting roos, obtaining raw grub meat from the Undergrove, and collecting drumsticks from bush turkeys are all reliable options. Don’t forget, you can stun animals at night with a bat zapper or flashlight and then deal with them instead of chasing them down during the day. Tędy, you can keep your crab pots well-baited for a steady supply of keys.

Metal Detecting Riverbeds

Here’s a little secret that needs a special diving helmet to uncover. The game drops a hint that rivers are like treasure troves, but before the diving helmet came along, getting to that treasure was a real pain. You had to fill up the rivers and then dig them out to find the cool tech and amber hidden under layers of mud and gunk. Who’s got time for that?

Teraz, with the diving helmet, you can use a metal detector to find awesome stuff in your town’s rivers. Just put on the dive helmet, grab a shovel, and a metal detector, then stroll along the riverbed, metal detecting away. Pamiętać o, this trick only works for rivers and billabongs, not ocean tiles. Również, if there’s a water plant on a tile, no tech will be under it. But your metal detector will be beeping like crazy on those seemingly empty river tiles. Fajny, Prawidłowy?

Pamiętać o, chociaż, this trick isn’t something you can keep doing forever. Once you’ve dug up all the cool tech, zwłoki, and amber from the rivers, the game won’t fill them up again as quickly, or maybe not at all. But it’s a quick way to score a bunch of tech and keys. Just be careful not to get chomped by a crocodile while you’re at it. Bezpieczeństwo przede wszystkim!

Handel

Why bother spending time hunting for keys when you can let someone else do the heavy lifting? The Dinkum Discord has a lively trading community with folks scattered across the map. Many are up for trading keys for whatever they need. Some folks really despise heading to the mines, and their key usage is almost zero. Trading for their keys could be a smart move, especially if you offer them treasures from the mines. They pay you in keys for doing the treasure hunting they avoid, and it’s a win-win!

There are players out there really wanting dinks, and those with a surplus of keys can strike deals to solve each other’s problems. While you might not want to pay Jimmy’s steep per-key price, a fair arrangement can usually be worked out. Trading makes the game more fun for everyone!

Pro Tips

Od razu, avoid Jimmy like the plague. He’s the rogue nomad selling keys at an insane 1 million apiece, and it’s just not worth it. Don’t fall for that ridiculously high price.

In the Undergrove, be savvy and stroll around the treasure room’s outside. Make sure you’re entering from the side where you only need two keys to unlock the green chest, not three. Pamiętać, a key saved is a key earned!

Quarries can cough up keys, but the rate isn’t stellar. You’ll need loads of quarries, which means tons of land, czas, i zasoby. It’s a hefty investment for a moderate key return.

Build good relationships with NPCs because they send you gifts, i czasami, that includes keys. It won’t make you a key billionaire, but over the year, it adds a nice touch. Work on those NPC friendships for more keys in your mailbox!

W końcu, keys can be found in green and blue chests. Więc, you gotta spend keys to get keys, whether in the Undergrove or the Island Reef. It’s the key cycle in action!
