Don't exit instance you just open map and go to the wp for next step instead saves you lots of time. If you can't see the wp you need to go too look at bottom right corner on your map and there is a layer option to use, click until you find the lost wp and if you are done inside of the instance just wp out.

If you have access to the starting Golem Banker (2 weeks) for each new character, then you can: open bank, use tomes to level up, and then instantly teleport to the waypoint and it will leave/skip the tutorial instance

I wish there was a timer so you knew exactly when your weekly key resets. Edit: Apparently it resets on Monday 8:30 UTC+1

If you want to do this weekly think about buying level 10 account bound gear and weapons from the TP. Will only cost a couple of silver.

You could take the WP near lieautenant Francis right after you finish the tutorial and after you save orphanage you can simply run to Leutenant Francis too.

So confused on why some people think it's not worth the time, it can be done easily in 10mins. Perhaps they are salty that they missed out on a free weekly key all this time, and want to undermine this farm. Anyway, there are some shortcuts to doing this faster, travelling to the inn in the home instance, you can cut through the fence from the right, instead of walking where the green arrow tells you. In some instances, namely the bandit cave medical supplies one, you can waypoint out instantly instead of pressing "leave instance" then waypoint after. When you are back at the home instance to give medical supplies to Andrew in the inn, you can talk to him through the wall instead of going into the room. If you have personal golem bank for new characters, you can do the same thing the video did in the tutorial, cutting through the farm to the final boss and wait at the water. You can buy a level 10 axe and keep it in your bank for weekly farm, and take out your tomes and axe while waiting for the boss to die/spawn. Obviously with mounts, it's all even faster.

is there a shortcut compared to the guides of Cellofrag or TacO?

the fastest race for key farming is Norn or Asura. several minutes faster than human, including tutorial. Norn choose Guard the Mists; Asura choose Synergetics. Buy Bloodbound weapons with 10 Provisioner Tokens each. They will help in the long run, especially if also want to get level 40 and 60 keys.

If you put a lvling tome in a shared inventory slot you can use it and then click on a waypoint, that way you skip the tutorial.

So you became a hero of Shaemoor by running to the river?

So this can only be done with a fresh character right? So ya keep an empty character slot open to keep remaking a new one each week? Or can ya repeat that same quest with any lvl character once a week?

6:38 I want to know which version of "fear not this night" is this

I might have to get another character slot to do this

so if i do this on Saturday, I cant do it again until next sat? or can i do it on Tues after reset. im confused on that lol

Is this still viable? I did a lvl10 story on a new character and got no key. It's literally only my 2nd ever character so shouldn't be related to the weekly reset as I hadn't done a lvl10 story for weeks.

Nice Video, but you can skip a lot of not needed loading screens for a few copper there. And also skip a few dialogs. For exact information let me know.

Very slick

is this any more faster then guardian line ??

Nice! When the timer resets for the key? Sunday mid night?

Nice Guide but so much work for only one Key 😱

"rich" kid in the comments : JUst BuY wiTh rEAl mOnEY , tHis iS a WastE oF TIMe

uhh wait wut?

idk... 1 key/week.. Isint its faster just do fractal dailies and recs and then convert gold to gems or idk... flip items in TP ?

All is cool but when you run along the river before you meet the giant hands, you will be blocked from moving forward, IF the doors to shaemoor is not open yet. This loophole has already been patched long ago. Once the door is open you can reach the hands. It is unlikely the devs unpatch this. So you still need a bit of luck if you want to waltz directly to boss.

Yikes. This is a lot of work. I think its cheaper to just pay a buck o five per key through the gem store. Time is money. We're only on this earth for so long.

This is the reason the BLCs are generally full of junk. If you couldn't farm them for free, ANet could remove the junk from the chests.

So much time ... now count how much money can you get irl using that time, and how much keys would you be able to buy just from the shop. This is nonsense people are wasting their time like this.

Instead of this boring and very inefficient farming (f. E. Using XP scrolls that u can better use for ghostshards) just run riba, change gold to crystals and buy keys. But there's another question.: why do u need keys? I don't need them
