Silver Key
Consume · ConsumeOther2★Opens locked treasure chests.
Details
It weighs almost nothing and stacks to 9,999, so there is no reason not to carry a full stack. It sells for almost nothing, so do not bother hauling it to a shop.
Where to Find Silver Key
4 Pals drop Silver Key when defeated or captured, which is usually the faster route if you are already out hunting — the drop list below is sorted by how reliably each one gives it up.
It also shows up as world loot — chests in the Forest, chests in the Desert and chests in the Mount Obsidian, and 26 more pools besides, usually 1–2 at a time. Higher-grade chests carry the better rolls, so the ones guarded by a camp are usually worth the detour.
Chests inside 3 caverns, including Cavern of the Dunes and Mountain Stream Grotto, can hold it as well.
