Man kann nur 1x pro Woche eine Schatztruhe des Donnerkönigs plündern um an diesen Schlüssel zu gelangen, um 1x pro Woche in die Zitadelle des Donnerkönigs zu gelangen. Der Schlüssel kann nur 1x pro Woche und pro Charakter droppen. (Zusätzliche Schlüssel können potentiell von ausgewählten Quellen droppen, sind aber so extrem selten, das man sie nicht farmen kann. Quelle: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/8087090109?page=1#7)

Mit Hilfe des Schlüssels gelangt man in ein Single Szenario. Es geht darum so viele Schätze wie möglich innerhalb von 10 Minuten zu plünern und hat nur 5 Minuten Zeit dafür. Am meisten sind hier Mogutruhen zu finden.

Hauptsächlich Gold und ehrwürdige Amulette des Glücks kann man hier sammeln. Ausserdem droppen aus den Kisten aber noch andere Schätze wie:

Zerfledderte historische Schriftrollen
Ritualstein der Shan'ze
Geist der Harmonie
Zerfledderte historische Schriftrollen welche man für Großes Insigne der Offensive der Kirin Tor verwenden kann.
Ebenfalls droppen hier: Zauberformel von Deng, Zauberformel von Haqin und Zauberformel von Vu

Video, aber auf englisch, damit es mal gesehen hat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfIGxuL7l4w

Wie man sehen kann, gibt es innerhalb der 5 Minuten Einiges zu beachten um "lebend" an´s Ziel zu kommen. ;)

Hat man es innerhalb der Zeit geschafft, kommt man in einen speziellen Bereich der voll ist mit Lei Shens Grabbeigaben. Hier kann man mit Hilfe des Grabbeigabenschlüssel jeweils eine der Kisten öffnen.

Man kann hier:

Insigne des Shado-Pan-Vorstoßes, Gerechtigkeitspunkte uvm erhalten. Eine sehr geringe Chance auf einen iLvL 502 Item ist beim Öffnen eines Schätze des Donnerkönigs auch dabei. ;) Es soll sich hierbei um Trash-Loot vom LFR Der Thron des Donners handeln.

Voraussetzung für den Erfolg In der Halle des Donnerkönigs.

Zu den Szenario-Räumen:

Die Schätze im Solo-Szenario sind gut gesichert. Man muss also mit Fallen rechnen.

Raum 1

Hier gibt es zwischen den Säulen Energieentladungen Blitzwelle was euch verlangsamen wird.
Ausserdem werden die Mogu Statuen in regelmässigen Abständen aktiviert, die einen AOE Schaden casten Steinschmettern.
Desweiteren tauchen immer wieder Ascheweber auf die euch in ein Netz einspinnen.

Raum 2

Der zweite Raum ist etwas komplexer und hat viele Kachel-Fallen (ähnlich den Ruinen von Guo-Lai). Die Fallen porten einen ein paar Schritte weiter und machen Schaden wenn man in ihren Radius tritt. Zusätzlich sind einige NPCs dort anwesend. Plünderer der Skumklingen ist einer der Interessantesten, da er sich schnell bewegt und Türen öffnen kann. Er kann aber auch für den Erfolg In der Halle des Donnerkönigs getötet werden.

Raum 3

Im 3. Raum sind zusätzlich Steinbehüter und Steinwächter. Am Ende des Szenarios kämpft man gegen Gottkoloss Gulkan der einen in alle Fallen schupst, wie vorher beschrieben.

Man beendet das Szenario indem man mit Tenwu der Rote Rauch spricht der von Rotes Rauchsignal umhüllt ist. Er wird einem einen zusätzlichen Grabbeigabenschlüssel geben.

Speed Run - Verbesserungen

Es gibt zahlreiche Rufgegenstände die man nutzen kann um die Fallen auszuschalten. Die meisten kosten ein
Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks. Wenn man ein paar mehr aus den Kisten holen kann, ist das also eine gute Investition. Man kann die Sachen bei Versorger Bao im ersten Raum des Szenarios kaufen:

1. Trank des leichten Fußes/Trank des leichten Fußes kann benutzt werden um über die Kachelfallen zu levitieren und der Fall wird abgeschwächt. Ausserdem kann man über das Wasser laufen während des Szenarios. Erhält man Schaden, wird der Effekt aufgehoben.
2. Schlafsand/Schlafsand hüllt das Target 25 Sekunden in einen magischen Schlaf. Funktioniert jedoch nur bei Humanoiden und Wildtieren im Szenario. Erfordert einen wohlwollenden Ruf.
3. Ein gewöhnlicher Stein/ Ein gewöhnlicher Stein Kann benutzt werden um einen Gegner abzulenken oder eine Falle auszulösen während des Szenarios. Erfordert einen wohlwollenden Ruf.
4. Frostrunenfalle/ Frostrunenfalle Platziert eine Rune um das nächste feindliche Ziel für 20 Sekunden einzufrieren das hinein tritt. Nur im Szenario nutzbar. Erfordert einen respektvollen Ruf.
5. Arkaner Treibstoff/Arkaner Treibstoff Kann benutzt werden um sich voran zu katapultieren. Erfordert einen respektvollen Ruf und kann nur im Szenario benutzt werden. Das ist auch nützlich um sich an unzugängliche Orte katapultieren zu lassen.
6. Verwandlungsschlüssel/Verwandlungsschlüssel Verformt den Schlüssel so, um in das uralte Tor im Szenario zu passen. Erfordert einen ehrfürchtigen Ruf und kostet, im Gegensatz zu den anderen Gimmicks nicht ein sondern gleich drei Ehrwürdige Amulette des Glücks.

Es gibt ausserdem 2 Arten von Runen die im Szenario verstreut herumliegen: Eine grüne Rune die euch mehr Geschwindigkeit gibt und eine Rote die einen stunnt.

Kommentar von Darxtars

ab Legion sitzt Taoshi bei den Schurken auch in der Ordenshalle in der Chef-Etage, also keine Anreise mehr nötig - das Szenario startet in der Ordenshalle

Kommentar von madmurdock

Für Schurken: Bei mir war Taoshi in der Halle der Schatten unsichtbar. Erst als ich die Schlüssel von der Bank geholt hab, war sie wieder da. Die restliche Truppe der Ungekrönten ist aber in Shadowlands nicht mehr da bis auf den Piraten. Ich glaub das passiert, wenn ihr die als Champions aktiv habt. Die versteckte Vorlage gabs für mich beim 3. Schlüssel/Durchgang (hatte noch 18 auf der Bank und wusste nicht, dass sie für den Hidden Skin sind). Mit nem Shadowland Char ist das Szenario aber nicht mehr lebensgefährlich. Bei mir ist auch ein Himmelssplitter für das Wolkenschlangenmount gedroppt von dem Elite in der Ini. Es lohnt sich anscheinend 1 ma pro Woche nach Dala zu porten und die Quest bei der Späherkarte zu holen.

Kommentar von Nander

One of these keys dropped for me from the Trove of the Thunder King, which are treasure chests that spawn all around the island.

Kommentar von Zomglazerpew

As of current PTR testing these keys drop off mobs on the Isles of Thunder, and are handed in to Taoshi to start the Troves of the Thunder King solo scenario. During the scenario you are given a set amount of time to loot chests around the area that give different loot ranging from Motes of Hamoney to Shan'ze Rune Stones.

Kommentar von fatboys1im

Just got this off Backbreaker Uru at Lightening Vein Mine

Kommentar von 1104162

Got mine first day patch was out from non-rare. WOOT Im so excited....

Kommentar von defilement

This gets turned into Taoshi (51.4, 46.2), near the Shado-Pan Assault Quartermaster in the cave you find the Throne of Thunder raid entrance in.

Additional Information: ~~Can be looted and run once per week (maybe day, according to comments below?) as of first day of patch, as far as I'm aware.~~ I now see that this can be looted/run infinitely, thanks to Leppy/lightclaw. Thank you.
I got mine from a non-elite mob that I aggro'd on accident. Later on, I fought one of the new summoned bosses and my friends looted the key from there, but as I had already looted mine and run the dungeon the key was unavailable to be looted by me, but reading some of the comments on other pages it seems there may be a loot bug.
The key is used as a quest starter to begin Schätze des Donnerkönigs to queue for what's called a "solo dungeon". Once you queue, you're taken to a room where Taoshi asks if you want to begin the encounter.

Instructions for completing this quest effectively: As far as I'm aware - and this could be entirely incorrect - the objective of the dungeon is to grab as much loot as possible from the chests that spawn around the multiple rooms of the dungeon. There are various traps and CCs around the room to slow you down from looting the chests quickly, including lighting to kill/injure you, mogu statues that slam the ground and stun you, and easily aggro
d tiny spiders that shoot a web at you, effectively rooting you to where you stand - and that's just the first room. In the second you will find It may be worth noting that a vendor near Taoshi sells a potion (Potion of Light Steps) for 1 Elder Charm of Good Fortune that will levitate you above the ground and allow you to avoid some of the traps around the room. (Trank des leichten Fußes) You have a time limit of 5 minutes to grab as much loot as possible, and once the time limit is up, you are teleported out of the area where the chests are. There, you are awarded a Grabbeigabenschlüssel as a reward for completing the quest, which opens one of the various chests located around the NPC, which contain various articles of valuable loot.

Sidenote: During my first run, I looted a second Grabbeigabenschlüssel from the chests spawning around the room which allowed me to open a second chest at the end of the encounter.

I also looted gold, Elder Charms of Good Fortune, Zerfledderte historische Schriftrollen, 1 Shan'ze Ritual Stone, and many many Mote of Harmony.

Kommentar von Supacharged

I just looted one of these from a Trove of the Thunder King on live, 6/03/2013, just to confirm that they can. I opened the chest and received 39 gold 58 silver 99 copper, a Lade des Glücks, a Ritualstein der Shan'ze and a Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast

Kommentar von Randuthayne

Before doing the scenario, I recomend that you spend an Elder Charm to buy a potion from the vendor near where you talk to the person to start the timed run.
It's an obstical course inside with a bunch of traps on the floor. The potion lets you levitate over them.

Kommentar von pcheals99

I just looted one from the rare turtle Goda... near the wall about 10min ago (3/5/13 is date). Not sure where to turn it in though.. bought a potion of Light Steps from a vendor under the ship that you initially port to. Anyone tell me where to turn it in i didnt get quest for it or anything...

Kommentar von acideyeliner

Once you get the key, you'll be able to turn it in to Taoshi. She is located to the left of the stairs that go into the upper portion of the Isle of Thunder, in the little cave. The same place you enter the new raid until more Stages are unlocked.

Kommentar von 1091982

I got one of these today contained in a trove, It was awesome, the trove dropped a fortituos coffer that dropped 3x Elder charms, and inside I also got a stone and the key, the key you take to Bleak Hollow near the top in a cave with taran zhu and turn it into the lady that has a quest that wasn't there before hand. You then talk to that lady and then she'll give you the quest that gives you a key to open a chest at the end of the scenario. The scenario has a 5 minute limit and you grab as much stuff as you can, and when there are golden, big chests, grab them! Thumbs me up so people can see this to help them out =)

Kommentar von 1103775

i got 367g, 6 elder charms, and 500+ rep with kirin tor offensive, and a boe green from this instance

unfortunitly it took me about 4 minutes to really understand what i was doing in there

Kommentar von Exuri

Turn this key into Taoshi, near the shado-pan assault valor vendor under the waterfall.

Kommentar von izaul

Got one a few hours ago and finished with bout 400g after I finished I got to pick a chest there were 7 total chests.

I recieved Herrenlose Pfeilbindungen der Zandalari from the chest I chose.

Kommentar von booMcfierce

When you receive Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast, you would then want to find Taoshi located at 51.4, 46.2 in the Insel des Donners, she will give you the quest Schätze des Donnerkönigs You would then turn the key into her. Upon doing so, she will Que you for a solo scenario in which the goal is to loot as many chests as possible within the time limit. These mentioned chests were along walls, near statues and lightning, and in places in which your toon will have to jump and land with accuracy and precision.

During my scenario i had to avoid: lightning; which damaged me and slowed me down, statues; which stunned and damaged me, and lesser hostile NPC's which interrupted me while i was opening a chest.

Once the timer was spent, i then entered a room where i was allowed to open other chests using Grabbeigabenschlüssel (one of which i found while in the scenario, and the other as a quest reward.)

A rather delightful experience!

Have fun like i did. :)

Ps Some of the loot: Insigne des Shado-Pan-Vorstoßes, Zerfledderte historische Schriftrollen, GOLD, Mogu Runes of Fate , etc.

Kommentar von Corvelus

It is false to believe that you can only loot or use one per week, I got one today off a random mob and used it and entered the scenario, then as soon as todays resets hit (wednesday) i received another one from the end quest reward (chest) - sunreaver bounty, and completed it again. receiving two stones, 5 elder charms and a bunch of gold from the chests.

Kommentar von Daedredant

Objective:
To make it from the start point, to the finish before the time expires (4-5 Minutes) opening as many treasure chests as you can along the way.

Traps (Area A):
Small spiders - These are almost like critters but they'll keep you from opening the boxes.
Lighting Poles - AoE lightning in a circle around itself and if you get hit, it'll stun you for a few seconds.
Mogu Statues - AoE cone that will stun you. Much like the ones in the Golden Lotus area.
Traps (Area B):
Elemental Tiles - AoE of the element the tile displays (added effect stun or slow)
Red Glowing Circle - Stuns when touched
Large Green Circle w/ "Eye" - When inside of the green circle there is an "eye" that will start tracking you. If the beam the "eye" projects touches you, it will send it's "pet dog" to attack you.

I'm sure there are more traps, but I can't remember all of them.

Helpful Hints
Speed Boosts - Any talents, glyphs, profession items, etc that will make you go faster are a good idea to bring.
"CC" Crowd Control - The idea isn't necessarily to run from all the mobs that attack you, but if you're short on time, and need to get to the end, have something ready to slow them down.
"CCC" Crowd Control Counter - Any talents, glyphs, profession items, etc that can get you out of a stun/slow effect is a good idea to get.
Levitate Potion - In the doorway between the two areas, are a bunch of elemental traps. use your potion here so you don't die or get slowed. (some spells i can see working here is the Paladin Bubble/Priest Levitate/Mage Blink, etc... just keep in mind the traps here hurt.... ALOT... plus they will slow your movement down)

That's all i can really think of for now. Good Luck and Have Fun!

Kommentar von tiffany87

this resets daily so once ya loot gotta wait a day do agin/loot

Kommentar von Eido

The Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast is also lootable from Arkaner Schatz, one of the quest rewards from completing the final day's daily quest for the Insel des Donners.

As an example, here is a quest that awards the Arcane Trove: In den Knochen.

Kommentar von doubleclick777

I got 11 coins from that event! Really easy way to get them.

Kommentar von 1104418

As far as only getting one per day, our main tank got one off of a rare and one out of the bag at the end of the dailies 5 minutes apart from each other,

Kommentar von 1051714

Droped for me from Zandalari Spiritweaver while questing.

Kommentar von fullmetalrox

i got my key, made at least over 100g, got 28 Motes of Harmony, 8 tattered historical parchments and 5 or 6 elder charms and also a ritual stone

Kommentar von 712964

Looted one from a Skumblade Fleshripper while doing the dailies in the area.

Edit: Not sure why this information is being downvoted. As of right now, these mobs are not listed as dropping this item.

Kommentar von popje

03/20/13 - FIXED, ESSENCE OF THE BREEZE NO LONGER WORKS IN THE PALACE

Essenz der Brise work in the palace of lei shen, it gives you a great movement boost for 10min, its quite useful and it also works in throne of thunder, found it useful for the first boss. Its probably gonna get patched soon though.

edit: Be careful, once activated, you wont be able to climb the crates and you will likely get stuck if you try to. I now use the breeze only to get to the last boss as fast as possible then remove the buff, you will have 4 guaranteed big chests and 1-2min left to get more chests !

03/15/13 - still working
03/20/13 - FIXED, ESSENCE OF THE BREEZE NO LONGER WORKS IN THE PALACE

Kommentar von perculia

Drop rate clarification from Bashiok:

Just to clarify on drop chances for ritual stones and keys, you can only obtain one Key to the Palace of Lei Shen (aka treasure room) from any creature on the island, including the Isle of Thunder Rare Elites. Once you’ve already looted one off of a creature, no more will drop from creatures for your character that week. Additional keys can potentially drop from other select sources, but are extremely rare and not something you can try to farm.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/8087090109?page=1#7

This key takes you to a new single-player scenario, Zitadelle des Donnerkönigs, in which players try to grab as much loot as they can from treasure chests before their 5 minutes are up. This is made harder by the presence of numerous challenging traps in the zone designed to attack and slow you down. I've uploaded a video of Lore from TankSpot explaining the mechanics of this run.

Depending on what you are after, it may be more beneficial to just open everything in the first room and load up on gold and Grabbeigabenschlüssel that unlocks chests in the final area you get sent to after 5 minutes are up. If you just skip everything and rush to the end boss, you'll miss out on looting a lot of chests along the way, but you'll get credit for part of In der Halle des Donnerkönigs.

Scenario Loot

The most common type of chest is Mogutruhe. This has the chance to contain:

Zerfledderte historische Schriftrollen, used to purchase reputation insignias such as Großes Insigne der Offensive der Kirin Tor.
Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks
Ritualstein der Shan'ze, used to summon elites.
Geist der Harmonie
Gold
Incantations: Zauberformel von Deng, Zauberformel von Haqin, Zauberformel von Vu

Goldene Schatzkistes appear to have the same types of loot but in more quantities, as well as Grabbeigabenschlüssel. You'll need to open 10 in one run to complete a step of In der Halle des Donnerkönigs.

When the time runs out or you complete the run, you'll be taken to a special area filled with Lei Shens Grabbeigaben. You can only open these chests with Grabbeigabenschlüssel. They have a chance to contain the rewards above as well as Insigne des Shado-Pan-Vorstoßes and Gerechtigkeitspunkte. Based on Blizzard's most recent patch notes, there is also a small chance to get epic loot! Users have commented that they get ilvl 502 items that would also be found in Schätze des Donnerkönigs, LFR versions of Der Thron des Donners trash epics.

Scenario Traps

While there are many treasure chests in the scenario, they're all guarded by traps.

The first room contains some basic pillar traps that periodically cast lightning (Blitzwelle), as well as Mogu statues that activate and do an AoE stun (Steinschmettern) if you do not move away. Since lightning can slow, this can easily turn into a bad slow + stun combination. There are also Aschewebers that don't hit very hard, but can web you.

The second room is more complex and has many tile traps (similar to the Ruins of Guo-Lai) as well as traps that port you several feet and begin to damage you if you step inside their radius. In addition, there are several NPCs present. Plünderer der Skumklingen is the most interesting as he moves very quickly and can open doors for you, but can also be killed for In der Halle des Donnerkönigs credit.

The third room adds the presence of Steinbehüter and Mogu Steinwächter. At the end of the scenario, you'll fight Gottkoloss Gulkan, who'll try to knock you back into all the harmful traps we've described along the way.

Complete the scenario by talking to Tenwu der Rote Rauch off to the side, who is helpfully surrounded by Rotes Rauchsignal. He'll give you an extra Grabbeigabenschlüssel.

Speed Run Enhancements

As Lore pointed out in his video, there are several reputation items that can help negate annoying traps. Most cost one Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks, so if you can grab a few more chests as a result, it seems like a good investment. You can buy these from Supplier Bo in the first room of the scenario:

Trank des leichten Fußes/Trank des leichten Fußes: Can be used to levitate over tile traps, fall at a reduced speed, and walk on water during the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Taking damage will break this effect. Requires Friendly, costs Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks.
Schlafsand/Schlafsand: Puts the target in a magically-induced sleep for 25 sec seconds. Only works on humanoids and beasts within the Troves of the Thunder King secnario. Requires Honored, costs Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks.
Ein gewöhnlicher Stein/Ein gewöhnlicher Stein: Can be used to distract an enemy or trigger a trap during the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Honored, costs Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks.
Frostrunenfalle/Frostrunenfalle: Places a rune that will freeze the next hostile target to step on it for 20 sec. Only usable in the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Revered, costs Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks.
Arkaner Treibstoff/Arkaner Treibstoff: Consume an arcane focus to launch yourself forward. Can only be used during the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Revered, costs Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks. This also has the added benefit of launching you into areas where you can loot otherwise inaccessible treasure chests.
Verwandlungsschlüssel/Verwandlungsschlüssel: Magically reshape the key to fit any Ancient Gate in the Thunder King's Citadel for the Troves of the Thunder King scenario. Requires Exalted, costs 3x Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks.

There are two types of runes scattered throughout the instance: a beneficial green speed rune, and a harmful red paralysis rune that stuns players.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##perculia##DELIM##

Kommentar von Skillmare

For those trying to farm this:

Haywire Sunreaver Construct: Mechanical that patrols the beach south of Ihgaluk Crag. (50.0, 91.6).

Mumta: Mogu caster located on top part of the terrace in the Halls of the Grand Imperion in the Court of Bones.

Ku'lai the Skyclaw: Zandalari troll who patrols the beach by Za'Tual, on the southwest part of the island (37.6, 83.0).

Goda: Large turtle who appears to be stuck in a tree when you come upon him in the Diremoor. (53.7, 53.1)

Progenitus: Saurok at the top of the highest cliff in Ihgaluk Crag, who wants to throw you off by casting Unleash Blood. To reach his location, you'll need to jump with a speed boost or have Skin of the Saurok on to make the gap.

Al'tabim the All-Seeing: Stands next to a starry cauldron on the northern shore by the Beast Pens. (44.6, 29.6).

Later stages of progression (based on PTR):
God-Hulk Ramuk was accessible during Stage 2 PTR testing, after players had broken down the outer walls of the Throne of Thunder. Located by the gate to Stormsea Landing in the Conqueror's Terrace. (61.6, 49.8)

Backbreaker Uru was accessible during Stage 3 PTR testing, after players gained control of the Thunder Forge. He patrols the entrance to the Lightning Vein Mine. (38.2, 28.6).

Lu-Ban was accessible during Stage 3 PTR testing, after players gained control of the Thunder Forge. He is to the south of the Forge and is standing by a prized Mogu hammer (54.4, 35.8).

Molthor was accessible during Stage 4 PTR testing, after players gained control of Stormsea Landing. He is located in the tower above the gate.

Kommentar von Richardbro

Absolute EASIEST way to acquire one of these Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast is from the quest Die Falle stellen, in my experience. Summoning the Echo von Kros with 3 Ritualstein der Shan'ze, will ensue a battle with him. Upon killing Kros he has a chance to drop the key loot-able by everyone in the group! (Usually 5 people).

If you see a group forming for him in General ("Setting the Trap"), I highly recommend joining! I was able to get a key this way on 4 of my toons in one day.

Make sure you loot him once he dies. Six out of four times he dropped 4 of these keys meaning 4/5 of the group were able to loot a key.

I recommend doing this on every toon, especially alts that could benefit from the amount of Ehrwürdige Amulette des Glücks you acquire during the Treasure solo instance.

NOTE: Two of the times I fought him, the entire party was able to get a key except the person who summoned him. This might be a bug, or it might just be that Kros has a chance to only drop 4 keys.

Kommentar von Beikon

I looted a Key from an Arcane Trove that I got as a reward from one of the daily quests.

I decided to try out the Treasure Chest scenario and record myself doing so. Feel free to watch if you're interested, it should give you some insight on what to expect once you use your Key. This was done on live servers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfIGxuL7l4w

You get 5 minutes to open as many chests as you can, but there are a lot of things in there that will slow you down or even kill if you aren't too careful. I'd recommend preparing before you go in there to maximize your rewards :)

Kommentar von ShockASU

I just have a question. Upon completing this Tuesday - and leaving (whoops!) - I realized I had 3 Grabbeigabenschlüssel. I'm assuming I can't go back in this week, unless I get another key? Assuming that, I should just hold them until reset and use them when I get another key. Right?

Kommentar von Etain

To the argument regarding whether you can get multiple keys in a week, (and I bring this up because I see a lot of people conflicted about it). I've only gotten one key and I got it off my last rare yesterday. I've done all the rares I can since Tuesday and opened multiple chests. That in and of itself is not evidence that you can only get one a week. I have heard multiple people say they've gotten multiple keys this week. I haven't heard them say they can or can't do the scenario again. They could be lying, but I doubt that all of them are even if a few are. I imagine the quest is only once a week while the actual scenario can be done whenever you have a key.

Kommentar von 797327

From my two runs, I highly recommend picking up any personal CC breaks. As a Death Knight, my Anti-Magic Shell was able to negate the damage and effects from any of the ground and lightning traps.
I ran the first time as a tank, and ran into problems killing the mobs later on in the dungeon, so the second time as frost DPS I had no problems with the mobs until I ran into the Skumblade Pillager who popped out of a golden chest and shived me for 6 seconds, only to break for the door immediately afterwards. Make sure you have a talent that can bind them in place and does not break on damage.

Kommentar von 668763

Anyone know the flag quest?

Kommentar von 1104733

Since no one has really said much about doing the scenario itself, here's a couple of tips that I've found helpful.

- Whenever there's a red chest below a ledge, don't be in a rush to open it. You can jump on top of the chest to get on top of the ledge. From there, there are usually more red chests and even golden chests hidden from sight. As others have said, the golden chests give you greater quantities of rewards.
- Never go backwards. You might see a chest behind you and think you should get it, but since you already came from that direction, there will always be more chests in front of you than behind you.
- Tab targeting don't seem to work for the spiders that slow you down. You have to manually target them, but they're usually killable with one instant cast spell/attack.
- Burning rush is a great talent for any warlocks doing this. Same with burst of speed for rogues. I don't know other classes' talents as well, but I'm sure you guys can figure out which ones help you to go through the instance faster.
- Going along with the last one, always keep moving if you can! Even if you're fighting a mob, kite it with you towards the next chest.

I'm still perfecting my strategies, so please share any other tips you have. One little change could mean a lot more rewards.

Kommentar von Schitzo

On patch day (5th) I had a key drop from Haywire Sunreaver Construct (rare robot). Yesterday (Wed the 6th) I got another key from an Arcane Trove (quest reward). So this means unlike the quoted post from perculia quoting Bashiok, you can get more than 1 key a week.

Kommentar von wxcopy

What an awful experience.

Kommentar von Dave21480

I've been in here twice on 2 toons, got to the end of first room on hunter and it said it was locked. Do you have to clear all boxes to get in 2nd room? Or is there another way to open it?

Kommentar von joeartguy

Worth mentioning: If you are in a group doing quests on the island, and a mob drops this key, everyone in your group gets to loot the key. Each player will get his own key to turn in.

This happened today for my group when the key dropped off a regular mob. So group up, preferably with someone who's luckier than you!

This awesome and intense Soundtrack is played while you grab your Loot in the Scenario!

Just letting you know ;)

Kommentar von 1096739

Got my first Key to the Palace of Lei Shen at 0400 from a chest while looking for Shan'ze Ritual Stone, after daily reset decided since I have the time, I will just do the dailies again. Upon completion of all of the daily quest I received my reward chest and guess what was inside. #2 Key to the Palace of Lei Shen.

Kommentar von 1086970

YOU CAN LOOT AT LEAST TWO IN A WEEK! Like other few ppl posted ive looted 1 from a rare, spent for scenario run and after finished final daily q i received 2nd key from the Q reward. I ran the scenario again 10 minutes after i finished first run!
p.s dont rate "-" posts when your not sure whats the truth. U call ppl liars this way.

Kommentar von 1104616

On patch day I received one of the keys by looting a trove of the thunder king, which also gave me a stone and an Incantation of Haqin. And ever since then I have yet to see another key drop from any mob since I looted that one, so it is possible that you can loot your only key of the week in a chest before you ever get a drop off of a mob, making yourself unable to get a key off of a mob. So I would imagine if I wanted another key I would have to find another key.(Out of another chest of sorts.)

PS. I have been farming since I received the key on release of patch, no luck on a key drop since (from an npc).

Kommentar von Zoeteklem

It should go without mentioning, but I am going to go ahead and mention it since I have yet to see it been made:

Don't forget to enchant your boots with a passive speed increase like: Stiefel - Pandarenpfoten, Stiefel - Verschwimmen, etc...

It DOES make an overall difference, so don't overlook this important enchant before you enter the solo scenario Schätze des Donnerkönigs.

Kommentar von foodgoddess

Hi a question. I got thru the first room (with the lightening and stone dudes) to the stairs where there was a huge door that required a key. Where do I get the key?
Thanks in advance .

Just to help clarify - You can loot more than one key a week. I got a second off the Kirin-tor cache from the very last daily. You can then go back to the SAME NPC and enter the scenario again. It starts from the beginning. However, there is NO quest the second time around which means no free key to open a chest at the end of the scenario. Hope that helps.

@Randuthayne

Is it possible to do that with any other levitate potion or it must be this specific one?

Kommentar von andrewg

maybe i just got very lucky, but when i looted a key from goda today, i got a stack of 2 keys. anyone else get that lucky?

Kommentar von cowhunter

i got nothing but gold from the scenario. also the mobs slaughtered my frost death knight. wasn't even a contest. looted 3 large chests and bunch of small ones got nought but gold and 1 charm of fortune.

not sure how to get past the quilan mobs. 2 +1 zandalar dude completely wiped me blowing through my cooldowns.

Kommentar von Orixxa

I got 2 keys on the same day. Today to be exact. I looted one off of a saurok and when I turned in my final quest I got another one as a reward inside of the sunreaver bounty. So it's possible. Funny thing is I wasn't even farming it nor looking for it and bam 2 of them back to back.

thank you for the information... i was farming rares and boxes all this week >.<

It seems to me that with critters coming after you in the first part, Creepy Crate could really earn his keep.

I got the second one of these today from one of the gold chests with the two fancy handles (looks a bit like the Ark of the Covenant) that had spawned along the side of one of the caves on the Isle.

UNLIMITED KEYS PER WEEK

It has been noted that Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast are NOT one per week as perviously thought.
The amount you can get per week it technically unlimited (although RNG would make this seem impossible)

The 1st key you should try to get is from mobs.. Rares are your best shot with the exception of Echo von Kros who has a 15% drop chance but all of the Rares have a 8-11% chance to drop, But Echo von Kros requires 3 Ritualstein der Shan'ze to summon so unless you are going to waste stones to summon him then rares are the way to go. except in the event that no rares dropped your key then you could use this as an alternate method of obtaining a key.

(It is also worth noting that Rare mobs are "Tap to Server" and even if you walk up on a group of opposite factioned players killing a rare and you manage to hit it only once before it dies you will still recieve loot... However, you can only recieve loot from each rare ONCE a week with the exception of Foliant der Tapferkeit which will drop from every rare you kill no matter what. In addition... if you seem to be unable to loot a rare walk away untill you lose the target then run back... this is a bug)

The 2nd Key You could get is from your "one a week" Schatztruhe des Donnerkönigs that has a 29% chance to drop. Please note that once you loot a chest you will continue to be able to loot chests for an estimated 60 seconds before the game flag triggers for the week and marks you as having completed this objective. You could take time to scout out two or more chests and plan a rout that would allow you to loot multiple chests before the flag happens. Note that you cannot loot a chest in combat!

You can check the status of your flag by using this macro. /run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(32609))
a nil means you are not flagged and a 1 means you are.

The 3rd key you can get is from the Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher or Arkaner Schatz respectively. However this is only a 4% chance to drop and is rare to get one even if you do the dailies all 7 days.

Now... For UNLIMITED KEYS

Once you have your Key head to the objective on your map. When you are in the Palace you will find lots of chests.. some of these chests are named Goldene Schatzkiste which have a 21% chance to drop a Grabbeigabenschlüssel and are the more rare and harder to get to of the cheststhat spawn in the area. Another chest you may come across is a Mogutruhe which has a 23% chance to drop Grabbeigabenschlüssel Some of these chests are out in the open and some require jumping skills and planning a path to avoid other obstacles to get to. You want as many of these as possible.

Once your time runs out you will recieve an additional Grabbeigabenschlüssel as a reward from Schätze des Donnerkönigs but you will only be able to complete this quest ~~ONCE per week~~ (Edit :as it would seem ONCE period. as my second week first key and no quest to turn in afterward.) So if you want more Grabbeigabenschlüssel you have to find them on your run or thats it.
These keys can then be used to open Lei Shens Grabbeigaben
These chests along with dropping 502 Raid finder gear that has a 13% chance to drop it also has the ability to drop aditional Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast to allow you to simply leave and start over again. I can confirm that you can get more then one purple key out of these chests on a single run but this is again... RNG and extremely rare. The more keys you get the more chances you have at getting another run through. If RNG is on your side you could sit and do this all day.

Happy Hunting.

Interestingly, I got two keys off the same mob and, after completing the scenario once, I was able to queue again. The mob in question was Goda, but I believe any mob capable of dropping a key would be accountable for what just happened. Be mindful, however, if you value your Elder Charm tokens not to overrun the solo scenario as you won't be able to carry over the Elder Charm surplus you might get - which is the reason I'll be saving the key :) -.

A suggestion:
Many players have been watching the videos from TankSpot and IcyVeins and set their minds to reaching the end of the instance and killing the boss. While this might be profitable if you have done this a couple of times, have a good dps and know your way around, it will NOT be the best option for most players, especially if it's your first time there.

I would like to leave the suggestion here that in your first couple of attempts you shouldn't probably try to venture further than the first room. By just doing this first room you can get around 500g several Ritualstein der Shan'ze, around 15 Elder Charm of Good Fortune and even a couple of Grabbeigabenschlüssel.

Remeber that the point is NOT to reach the end, it's to loot as many chests as possible.
I hope this helps ppl that have been trying to get to the final boss and kill it only to end up with 3 or 4 chests.

Kommentar von NanoRoar

You have all the fancy details of loot and other nice stuff so here's just a plain video with a decent quality that shows you the run from start to end as a survival hunter (497).
With the aid of some elder coin buyable content (one Polymorphic Key 2 Arcane propellant and one sleep dust).
This was done as the fourth attempt so it's far from flawless but anyhow a kill of the god hulk and escape by talking to the red smoke dude.

All-in-One Isle macro:

/run for k, v in pairs({ Incantation = 32611, Trove = 32609, LeiShenKey = 32626, RareMobLooted = 32610, Chamberlain = 32505}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Done\124r" or "\124cffff0000Not Done\124r")) end

Checks 5 things tracked weekly:
- Looted an Incantation**. (Zauberformel von Vu Zauberformel von Haqin Zauberformel von Deng)
- Looted a Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast**.
- Looted a Schatztruhe des Donnerkönigs.
- Looted a rare elite.
- Completed the quest, Der zerfallene Kämmerer.

** Not including the keys/incantations you loot from the daily bag.

For anyone not familiar with why these things are tracked, you can only loot one key/incantation from mobs, loot one trove (chest), and loot a key/ritual stone from rare elites once a week. This also means if you loot a key from a rare elite, it will flag the rare elite + key on the macro. (Source)

Here is a helpful addon for The Isle of Thunder

Isle of Thunder Weekly Check

Ths Isle of Thunder has a few "once per week" events for every character. These are not account wide so you can complete these events with every level 90 character, but it's not easy to remember which character has killed a rare.. or whether you should be looking around the isle for a trove. That's where "Isle of Thunder Weekly Check" can be very handy. It opens a window with a list of possible events and whether or not the current character has completed them.

We only know of 6 once a week "events" at the moment:

Dropping Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast for the single player scenario Zitadelle des Donnerkönigs.
Looting the Ritualstein der Shan'ze from the first rare monster killed.
Opening a trove around the island (the yellow chest) which rewards a Ritualstein der Shan'ze.
Completing the quest Champions of the Thunder King
Looting one of the summoning incantations: Zauberformel von Deng, Zauberformel von Gura, Zauberformel von Vu. These are also needed for the achievement These Mogu Have Gotta Go-gu
Completing the quest The Crumbled Chamberlain.

Kommentar von capokid

This dropped off of one of the Zandalari Warbringer's for me

Kommentar von CMKCot

Should be noted that this item is "party loot" just like quest drops. this means that if you are in a party and see one drop on a mob, call the rest of your part over to loot the same mob, they all get a copy.

statistically, having a party for rares wont increase your odds at having this drop, but if you are in a party and one drops everyone gets it. worth keeping this in mind if you find a group of people hunting rares, if they get a drop and you don't they could stop hunting and leave you with no group. so party up!

Kommentar von 1072844

I just found one off of one of those Shan'ze Electrocutioners. (Blitzrichter der Shan'ze) it doesn't show as an item drop on his loot list but i guess it should be on there with a very low drop rate. that was like winning the lottery without a ticket lol.

Kommentar von Razeew

Either I got bugged or everyone has got a bit of twisted information.

This week I found a key in a trove of the thunder king, later on when I tried to kill Rare mobs the key didn't drop, I killed around four.

Am I missing something or got bugged?
Cheers.

I see so many saying IF one in party get the loot everyone else get it aswell. this is not tru i have now 3x rare kill where 1-4 gets this item but i havent looted it and yes killed as 5 man party

Kommentar von Bended82

Many Many Many people still have the drop of these things wrong.

According to blues you get 1 drop per week from mobs. This is true.

Yes they can come out of a chest also.
Looting one from a chest triggers the week cooldown. I believe this is a bug because the blue post specifically says 1 per week FROM MOBS. Another reason I call this a bug, I have gotten keys from chests AFTER I got my key from mobs at least 3 times.

So... if you kill a mob and get a key, you still have a chance to get a key from the chest.

If you get a key from a chest you just screwed yourself from the chance at an extra key because you will not get one from a mob.

I have also opened a ticket about this.

ticket:
The game seems to think this character has looted a Key to the Palace of Lei Shen this week. I know this because "/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(32626))" says i did.

Here is th problem, I have NOT looted one from a mob this week. I did loot one from a treasure trove which is not a mob, has its own 1 week cooldown, and is meant to be extra chances for keys.

I know I have not looted from a mob. I have 1 key only. I have not ran the scenario since last week and my 1 key came out of a chest.

response:
Hey there,

I took a look around and didn't see too many reports like this one so I have gone ahead and forwarded the information you provided to our QA guys to check out.

I also wanted to let you know that our devs want your feedback and bug reports so much that they put a direct channel to them in the game itself. This direct channel also gives them some additional information that is not always available to the Game Master staff. It allows them to get a better picture of exactly what is going on when and where.

So whenever you see something you want to report.

Two weeks in a row I've got the key after the reset from rares, and I go to Taoshi and she doesn't have a quest for me. Two weeks in a row I've contacted the GMs but they didnt help.

Anyone else faced a similar predicament?

Kommentar von Zandrae

If you're an altoholic and don't get to spending the coins from the treasure run each week you can let these keys pile up and run the instance later. There seems to be no limit to the number of times you can run it in a week.

Kommentar von Redoc

I just obtained this on my level 80 twink to see if it works. Got it, I could talk to Taoshi but when queued for the scenario it states that "You do not meet the requirements for the chosen dungeons.".

I assume you probably will have to be level 90 in order to do this.

Kommentar von sorsa

If you are patient and not in immediate need of gold, then I suggest keeping these for now and not using them at all.

Once you have gear from the next raid tier (or expansion, if you don't mind waiting that long), then you can come back, cash in the keys and plow through to the end boss with much better dps gear than you have now, this would likely net you alot more gold later down the road.

Kommentar von Heartbourne

Can you carry more than one at a time?

Kommentar von GoRozZo

Key drops in 80% from one of the bosses of weekly quest Champions des Donnerkönigs. Advise you compete this quest first, and only after kill rare monster if key didnt drop.

One key is enough to complete full achievement In der Halle des Donnerkönigs and get a cap (20 pieces) of Elder Charm of Good Fortune. This video shows the fastest route for farming big chests and how to get a cap fo Charms in 5 minutes.

Kommentar von Feliciamarie

Trying to get a Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast but no one is around to help you kill a rare for a chance at a key? Best way I found is to wait for Goda to spawn, hit him once, and run straight to the Shado-Pan. They will help you kill him and do most of the work! According to the wowhead list, he even has the best chance to drop a key! I was getting absolutely zero luck from getting keys out of the Schatztruhe des Donnerkönigs around the island so this method works very well for my various alts!

I'm on a seriously low pop server and rares up 24/7 with no one to help you kill one. I usually run the scenario to get elder charms for under-geared alts :)

Edit; Not sure why being down rated. All of the information is true.

may be bugged in 5.3 couldnt loot chests.

I filed bug report and a ticket (id like a replacement key)

Kommentar von Jmech1986

Something seems strange about drop rates since 5.3... I haven't been on island for several weeks, went to go farm rares when 5.3 went live, have killed at least 18-20 rares as well as all the dailies each day and no keys, and no incantations. This isn't a thing is it?

Bugged in 5.3. I've opened treasure troves, fortuitous coffers, and killed rares - no key.

Kommentar von 749141

here is a question that has not occurred to me till now i have killed 4 rares and opened a treasure cache with no key then i got a key out of the arcane trove so here is my question does that count as my key for the week? or as the extra key i could get

EDIT: ok its been several days and ive killed several more rares with no key i did however get another key from the trove not sure what to make of this

Kommentar von Hegs

You CAN have more than one of these in your inventory at one time.

Kommentar von Kathucka

As of patch 5.3, the best part about this run is the collection of Elder Charms. These have been buffed and now award loot around 50% of the time when you use them for bonus rolls.

Using some crafted items, the boots from the new Escalation quest line, the belt from Sunreaver rep, a cloak from a Mogu Rune on Nalak, and a ring from Honor, I was able to get into the Raid Finder. Using the Elder Charms and normal drops in the Raid Finder, I was able to get up to ilvl 477 the same week I turned 90. That included some Tier pieces that I didn't use, as they were lower ilvl that what I already had. I haven't spent any valor points yet.

Of course, if I'd had a guild to carry me through this lower content on normal, those charms would have been even better.

Also, a couple more pieces could easily get me into the ilvl 480 Raid Finder. These could be obtained by exchanging Justice for Honor and buying Honor gear, which isn't bad for PvE this expansion. Unfortunately, I'm out of charms now, so the Raid Finder would be just give the normal drops....

Been on the isle for a few hours today after the recent patch. Haven't gotten they key to drop off of about 10-15 Rares, or about 2 inventories worth of trash. Not sure if they're been a change in its drop pattern.

Kommentar von 749141

its been about a year since this patch was released and i am still learning new stuff i don't know how many people others have figured this out (no one said anything in the comments) and i really wish i knew this when this was current but i figured out a way to reliably obtain to multiple keys a week loot is determined when the rare is killed and the first rare kill almost guarantees a key however you have to loot the rare for it to register and it takes a while for them to disappear (even longer if you don't loot am) so if you kill a bunch of rares in fairly close proximity to each other without looting each rare has a very high chance to drop a key as well shen'ze ritual stone making this effective way to grind keys

Kommentar von neuroticmonkie

Ok so I can't seem to get this...and all these comments are old. When I go to taoshi she is transparent, like a stealth rogue. She doesn't give me any option to do anything, I have two of these keys so far... I've read through the comments but they all just say to go to her and she queues you up for the solo scenario...nifty...now if she would only do what she's supposed to. BTW, on my map it has an icon for trove of thunder king (a small green chest) but it's in the mountains on the opposite side of the isle from taoshi, and when you get to it there was nothing there, except a big boss lizard that slaps you out of the mountain and a piece of that annoying statue that won't shut up. Can anyone help with this? Is there some quest that I must finish before Taoshi will send me to the trove that I am missing?

Kommentar von remid0d0s0

I am still collecting keys somewhat faithfully, and when I'm in the mood, I run the scenario in batches. Usually, I just focus on mostly cleaning out the first room.

Hello everyone!

I have compiled a video below which shows how to get more than one key per character per week. Please see the video description for more information.

http://youtu.be/YKWSPcH-zSA

Usually you can only get one key per week on each character, but with this method you can get more. Now, this isn't a guarantee, but, if you can kill enough rare elite mobs (bosses), you increase your chance dramatically.

This is a video I have meant to release for quite awhile.

Here's what you need to do:

1) Character must be able to reach the staging area on the Isle of Thunder. This requires doing a few of the opening quests.

2) Find a "Trove of the Thunder King" rare treasure chest. Do NOT loot it, just remember the location.

3) Go kill as many rare elites/bosses as you can. Again, make sure to NOT loot it or open the loot window. Once the first elite is killed, start a stop watch and make sure you loot the corpse within 15 minutes.

4) Once you are close to the 15 minutes, go back and loot the Treasure Chest.

5) Finally, go back and loot all the corpses (in order if possible) of the rare elites you have killed.

And you're done and hopefully have gotten more than one key! The best time to do this is during the "off" hours of your server, so you can maximize the amount of rares you can kill.

I have not tried this in a group.

Now, some people feel this is an exploit. However, it's been in the game since the release of the Isle of Thunder. At this point, it's either a long, long oversight, intended, or clever use of game mechanics. Use at your own risk, but I have been doing this for a long time.

I hope you enjoy this guide and it helps you out!

To Blizzard: If this is indeed not intended, I will remove the video. Please contact me if so.

Patch 5.4.8 (As of June 24th, 2014)

Kommentar von 1308554

I just wanted to put this out there for anyone else who gets their key every week from rares/Schatztruhe des Donnerkönigs. Although the keys do not have a 100% chance at dropping from any specific rare or chest, you can significantly increase your odds at getting multiple keys a week. I used to farm 1 key a week for my 12 90s, whichever source I got it from didn't matter, I would always open at least one Schatztruhe des Donnerkönigs. A few weeks ago I had 2 toons not get their chest because the weekly quest flagged as completed when I killed and looted a rare with a key in it's loot. The following week I killed a rare and didn't loot it in case there was a key in the loot and I didn't want to chance not getting the chest for the extra gold and the Elder Charms of Good Fortune I like to save in the Lade des Glücks to buy extra Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher with. So I devised a plan that has worked 10/12 times the last 2 weeks. First kill 2 rares and do not loot them, second, find 2 chests, do not open the first until after finding and opening the second so you know exactly where to run to for the other chest in case the first you open does not have a key (the chests have a very high chance at getting a key but will almost never contain one if you have looted one from a rare first and I have found I can't get a key to drop from rares or any mob on the island if I loot one from a chest first unless the mob is already dead before I open the chest and loot the key), so last go loot the rares and one of them hopefully had a key in their loot!

Kommentar von Carboncopy666

The Key to the Palace of Lei Shen can be used to start a Troves of the Thunder King treasure run by speaking with Taoshi in the Bleak Hollow on the Isle of Thunder.

The Bleak Hollow is the Shado-Pan camp set up just west of the Emperor's Gate, north of the Diremoor and beneath the Beast Pens on the Isle of Thunder.

Kommentar von Eido

According to Blizzard Community Manager, Kaivax, on the battle.net website, these keys will no longer be obtainable come patch 6.0.2:

In WoW Patch 6.0.2, we will be retiring the Achievement In der Halle des Donnerkönigs, as the treasure room will no longer be accessible. That achievement will become a Feat of Strength, and Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks will drop in place of the key to the room. source

This is also confirmed by Reward Systems Designer, Russ Petersen, via his personal Twitter account:

No more treasure room keys after 6.0 launches. source

He also clarified that you will, however, still be able to keep AND use any keys that you have previously acquired:

No existing keys will be removed. Just no more drops. source

Has anyone had one in 6.03?
I did a load of runs this morning (had 14 keys saved up) and ended up with 26 Sunreaver Bounty.
From the charms looted I bought another 8.
So 34 boxes and no key dropped...

Might have just been unlucky, but also possible they hotfixed this and didn't announce it in patch notes.

Kommentar von Ozzayel

So I still have quite a few of these on a couple alts.
I'm wondering, is the treasure scenario restricted to level 90 only?
I don't want to level either of the characters and maybe have to throw the keys away because I can't use them anymore.

Kommentar von jjanchan

**UPDATED FOR LEGION - there will be new ways to access Zitadelle des Donnerkönigs in Legion! See below**

Subtlety Rogue Hidden Artifact Weapon Appearance

The Zitadelle des Donnerkönigs scenario will be an important element in obtaining the Subtlety Schurke Hidden Artifact Weapon Appearance (Foliant der außerweltlichen Gifte). See the spoiler tag below for more details!

The steps to obtaining the Venombite weapon appearance are as follows:

Your Class Order Hall in Legion will have various tiers of upgrades that can be unlocked with Ordensressourcen.
When Die Schatzkammer Tier 2 Order Hall Upgrade is selected, you sometimes obtain a Tresorticket on successful completion of an Order Hall mission. This gives you access to the Uncrowned Vault within the Die Kammer der Schatten, when turned into Marin Noggenfogger.

A Tresorticket can only be turned in once per week.
Marin Noggenfoggers Glücksmünze, obtained via pickpocketing in the Broken Isles, will also give you access to the Uncrowned Vault.
Training Die Schatzkammer costs 500 Ordensressourcen; switching to it if you selected the other upgrade costs 2000 Ordensressourcen. You need to be level 105 to train this upgrade.
Within the Uncrowned Vault, you can find a Satchel of Keys, apparently visible on a pillar within the vault. This contains Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast (reportedly multiple keys).
Speak to Taoshi at the bottom level of the Order Hall to start the Zitadelle des Donnerkönigs scenario. 1 Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast is required for each attempt of this scenario.

This is the exact same scenario that was available during Mists of Pandaria.
Complete the scenario (reaching the end, or until the timer runs out) looting chests and obtaining as many Grabbeigabenschlüssels as possible.
Grabbeigabenschlüssels can be obtained from:

Goldene Schatzkiste (Large Treasure Chests) – 20% drop rate
Mogutruhe (Small Treasure Chests) – 12% drop rate
Dropped by Plünderer der Skumklingen who will spawn from treasure chests in the second room. When spawning, they will stun you and attempt to escape before being killed. Pre-emptive CC (e.g. Frostrunenfalle, which can be purchased in the initial preparation room of the scenario for Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks) can ensure he doesn’t get too far away. 100% drop rate for Grabbeigabenschlüssel.
Dropped by Gottkoloss Gulkan at the very end of the scenario (if you reach there before time is up). 100% drop rate for Grabbeigabenschlüssel.
Rewarded by Tenwu der Rote Rauch at the very end of the scenario. If you reach him before the timer is up and speak to him to end the scenario, you get an extra Grabbeigabenschlüssel.

Use the Grabbeigabenschlüssels to open the Lei Shens Grabbeigabens at the rest area after completing the scenario. These chests have a chance to contain Foliant der außerweltlichen Gifte, which unlocks the hidden appearance!

For non-Schurkes - Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast is STILL available in the Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher/Arkaner Schatz as of August 15, 2016 - Patch 7.0.3

Inexplicably, despite the fact that Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast was supposedly removed from the game, these keys are still obtainable from Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher (Horde) and Arkaner Schatz (Alliance). These chests are available upon reaching Exalted reputation with the Sonnenhäscheransturm or the Offensive der Kirin Tor, respectively.

Each Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher/Arkaner Schatz costs 15 Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks, and the cap for this currency is 20, so you'll have to earn these coins repeatedly to get multiple chests. Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks is sold by Kommandant Lo Ping in Townlong Steppes for the cost of 20 Geringes Amulett des Glücks each. Use the following macro to purchase them quickly and easily:
/run BuyMerchantItem(1,1)

The Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher/Arkaner Schatz are sold by Vasarin Morgenröte (Horde) and Hiren Lehrensang (Alliance), the respective quartermasters for their factions.

The drop rate for these keys within the chests is NOT 100%. As such, you may need to invest many Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks to obtain one.
Nonetheless, this may prove to be helpful for those still gunning for the Legacy achievement In der Halle des Donnerkönigs.

Keep in mind that this scenario can still be run if you are level 100+ (if you have a key).

This just dropped for me, on my dk on a live server yet it says here that it's no longer available o_O.

Kommentar von katiajames

This dropped for me today. And I'm confused.

Kommentar von blahahahah

They are still in the game as of 3/30/15. I got one in Arcane Trove. Arkaner Schatz

Kommentar von midgetrancher

Yeah, so, you can still get this key in the Sunreaver Bounty boxes from the daily quests. So, I don't know if it was a fluke or what. But they still are dropping.

Kommentar von tionie

These are still dropping in the Alliance Arkaner Schatz boxes when bought from the vendor with Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks. Given the low drop rate on the currency for buying these boxes, I'd say the loot rate for a key is probably pretty small based on my experience below.

I had over 100 keys across all my alts when WOD came out and am slowly getting them used up.

My Feral Druid had 22 keys and 1 extra key dropped from a box May 2, 2015 after buying about 23 troves.
My Death Knight had 10 keys and 1 extra key dropped from a box May 3, 2015 after buying around 10 troves.
When I've run other alts to use up keys, I'd say each one had at least one extra key drop (two at the most).

I usually just loot all the boxes in room one.
- It's easy and requires few gadgets to accomplish.
- I gathered over 10,000 gold with 22 keys, averaging about 400-650 gold per key. It used to be way more when Ritualstein der Shan'ze were worth 10g instead of the 1g they are now.
- Normally I deal with the vendor inside the treasure trove instance, but sometimes use the vendor in the Alliance start area.
- After each key run I always have 20 charms and buy an Arcane Trove immediately before dealing with my other loot. So I get plenty chances for looting the extra key.

why was this removed from the game?

Just looted this item from somewhere on the isle of thunder May 4, 2015 at 5:40pm cst. It says it has been removed from the game but yet here it is in my bag right now o.0?

Kommentar von Sarsoman

Still dropping from Sunreaver Bounties as of May 20th, 2015.

Kommentar von Yoshi667

Received one on the 25th of May 2015 from a Sunreaver Bounty.

Kommentar von Morwo

This item's source is no longer available/removed.

Just got one by turning in a daily, from the first Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher while become revered.

Kommentar von facelifter

Okay this item just dropped for me from Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher
I Uploaded a screenshot showing the same.

Kommentar von VsKatshuma

Just looted this yesterday from Arkaner Schatz.

It seems that they still drop in patch 6.2 =)

Kommentar von Cerbyzarre

As of 6.2.2, still drops from Arcane Troves; got mine from a vendor-bought one.

Kommentar von Macmagotty

Confirming that this item ( Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast ) still drops. Received one today from a Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher. Either Blizzard is lying to their gamer community, or they are a bunch of idiots, or both. I vote for "both".

Edit: really, guys, down voting an obvious truth? Talk about trolling.

Kommentar von Shadowloot

Just got one from a treasure trove.

Kommentar von KittyKatBar

Confirmed that it still drops from the trove as of patch 7.

Kommentar von GreySage

These Keys have dropped all along from Troves. They also are available to rogues from their Order Hall.

Kommentar von Natsuyo

I just got this as reward in my Class Hall rogue vault from Marin Noggenfogger coin Q thing.. Werid stuff.

Kommentar von xact44

These are now regularly an optional reward from the rogue vault ticket. The scenario can be queued from Taoshi within the class hall (Chamber of Shadows), and the mobs and traps inside have been completely updated.

Kommentar von ShanksGonnaShank

I obtained my vault ticket on Saturday. It gave me a choice to obtain Schlüssel zu Lei Shens Palast

AFTER GETTING THIS I WENT AND PICKPOCKETED FOR Marin Noggenfoggers Glücksmünze. THE COIN LETS YOU PICK ANOTHER ITEM FROM THE VAULT. I THEN PICKED UP THE KEY AGAIN. FOR ALL WHO DO NOT KNOW IF YOU GIVE THE KEY TO Taoshi. You'll be directed to the single player scenario. The scenario has a chance to drop the Subtlety's hidden appearance.

This is a loophole to obtain multiple keys if you do not get it the first time.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Kommentar von Gnomelina

I got one of these today from my rogue class hall. When you turn in the vault ticket or the pickpocketed coins to Marin Noggenfogger there is a chance that a set of keys appears on the wall for you to choose as part of the loot. Those keys contain the key to the palace of lei shen.

Kommentar von Armak

The spawn rate of this has dramatically decreased, at least in my case (could be just a bad luck streak). After they made the vault ticket available once per day instead of once per week I got the key spawn almost every day, from 1 to 3 keys. Now it spawns less often (again: in my case), like once in two weeks and only one key.
So don't panic, it's still available and you can loot it in every rogue specialization.

Kommentar von Laithas

If you're a Rogue and get it through the Tresorticket there's no need to make the trip to Pandaland. Just go to the Chamber of Shadows and talk to Taoshi there and she'll queue you up.

Kommentar von Neophix

i dont get it.. does the key not apeat everytime you get a ticket from your missions as a Rogue.. ive goten like 10-20 tickets as of now.. and no key have apeared in the Vault yet.. i need to know if its like 10% chance to apear or if its at Different places from time to time.. or if its just chance to apear..?

Kommentar von IMissThottbot

Does anyone know how to get past the very first locked door if you haven't done the Sunreaver's stuff? Apparently you need rep to buy the key?

Edit - Wowpedia: "Immediately to the left of the steps leading up to the locked door is a lever that will open it. Taking any damage will interrupt the cast to flip the lever, so make sure there are no Ashen Weavers around, who also have a rooting ability"

Forgot about that.

Kommentar von Shadowloot

Just to confirm this for 7.3, I just got a key on my warrior from an Arcane Trove so these still do drop.
The chance of actually getting one this way looks pretty slim though.

Edit:And now in 7.3.2 I just got annother key from an Arcane Trove with my priest.

Edit: 7.3.5, got a key fron an Arcane Trove with my Rogue and annother one with my Hunter

Edit: 8.0.1, got a key from an Arcane Trove with my Warlock, so again, these still do drop.

Edit: 8.1.0, got a key from an Arcane Trove with my Warrior, these are still in the loot-tables.
Got one on a druid, a priest and a demon-hunter now as well.

Edit: 8.1.5, got a key from an Arcane Trove with my Mage.
And I got one from a Sunreaver Bounty on my DK.

Edit: 8.2.0 took me a while to get back at farming Nalak and now got a key from an Arcane Trove with my Rogue.
And I got one with my priest.

Edit: 8.2.5: got a key from an Arcane Trove with a Druid and now annother one with a Demon Hunter

Edit: 8.3.0: got a key from an Arcane Trove with a Warlock, and annother one with a different Warlock

Kommentar von Kanegasi

Keeping up with recent comments, received one just now from Arkaner Schatz.

Kommentar von Qoko

With still 112(!) keys stocked up in my bank from Legion Vault Keys, I decided to do these for a semi-raw gold farm and see what the yield is. Surprisingly, it isn't terrible.

As prerequisites for the run I suggest the following:

Speed set (as mobs scale only to 110 so output's irrelevant): in Stealth I have 194% movement speed.
Ergreifende Flammen rank 3 to oneshot the Plünderer der Skumklingen and Gottkoloss Gulkan.
One Verwandlungsschlüssel for the final door.
Two Arkaner Treibstoff to jump across the sides in the trap corridors.
Three Leere Vorratskiste for the top chests or as safeguard.

Before starting, spend your Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks as you'll max them out from the run alone. You can do this inside the scenario if you want.

15+: buy a Arkaner Schatz/Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher (which I consider part of the raw gold).
Any of the above mentioned Trove support items: you can stock up.

As sidenote, weekly you can run all the relevant raid bosses (Sha, Galleon, Vaults, Heart and Terrace) for a total of 18 bosses. This is an additional ~500g (if you don't get loot) but is not truly quantifiable as it's only useful weekly; just make sure to enter the raids with a full set of Charms.

As for the scenario run, without making it a full guide, the following list is roughly divided by every minute in the scenario:

Clear most on the top on the right side in the first corridor, jump down and open the trap corridor by lever.
In the trap corridor jumping on the side and use Arkaner Treibstoff to jump from one side to the other and loot all chests.
Loot most Golden Chests in the second room guaranteeing the Plünderer der Skumklingen, open the trap corridor by lever and use the chest to jump to the door.
Do the same in the second trap corridor as the first: jump on the side, loot it, use a Propellant and drop down at the end.
After the second trap corridor rush to the end using Verwandlungsschlüssel, kill Gottkoloss Gulkan and loot everything there.
In the dying seconds loot as much around Tenwu as possible, then get out by him in the last few seconds.

Average loot:

I'd say my average yield is about ~400g just from the run.
As you maxed out Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks mid run, buy one Arkaner Schatz/Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher (~30g). (total ~430g).
Use Grabbeigabenschlüssel to open all chests, if eight (which is rather common) it's about 450g (total ~880g).
Now you can buy another Arkaner Schatz/Belohnung der Sonnenhäscher (~30g) (total ~910g).
Selling all drops varies a bit but comes down to about 100g, if we make it 90g (total 1000g).
Make sure to deplete Ehrwürdiges Amulett des Glücks with necessary Trove items if you intend another run.

Raw sells makes one run approximately 1000g (+- 100g) for 5-7 minutes (given preparation and opening and buying chests). That's not a bad deal. But I said semi raw, because you get Harmoniepartikel (and even Geist der Harmonie) from the chests in the scenario, and the real gold is potentially in the rare transmogs you can get from this, among others the Timeworn pieces part of the Amani Raiment.

Tl;dr, Rogues, I'd keep the Vault Key as order advancement (you don't need the success boost anymore really) and do missions and perhaps some pickpocketing if the keys are up as reward.

Kommentar von Ajfree

Just received from Sunreaver Bounty after completing daily quest chain. The mobs inside were scaled to 110, not 120.

Kommentar von RedEyedCoyote

Can please someone confirm if the drop still exists? I have handed in coins to marin, handed in vault ticket no key dropped for me.

Kommentar von SargerasWasRight

I went from zero to exalted with the Kirin Tor Offensive all during 9.2.7 and in that time only got a single key from an arcane trove. I didn't get any at all from killing rares or mobs. Unless you're a rogue getting the achievements related to the key seems so difficult it's not worth the effort.

Kommentar von di3di3di3

it drops in dragonflight?

Kommentar von heapsofjoy

As of 10.2.5; The key to the palace of lei shen still drops from arcane troves. Just received one from the daily to kill horgak the enslaver.

The key still drops from Sunreaver Bounty as of 10.2.6 .
