Editing Keys

{{Template:Guidessb}}
:''This article is about keys that open locked doors and zones. For zones that do not need the keys/flags to unlock if you meet level requirements, see [[Zones#Keys.2C_flags_and_zone_level_requirements|Zones > Keys, flags and zone level requirements]]. For keyrings that hold items, see [[Familiar Key Ring]], [[Illusion Key Ring]], [[Mount Key Ring]], [[Teleport Item Key Ring]]''
This article is for listing various '''keys''' in the game.  

Some "keys" do not have an actual item (key) in-game. They are generally known as "flags".  Keys placed on the [[#Keyring|Keyring]] become flags. The Keyring also lists flags that do not have item keys.

If you have the Lockpicking skill, you may be able to open locked doors without the key.

== Dragoncrypt ==
Either one of these keys will get you into the Dragoncrypt instance zone:
* [http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=85607 Dragon Brood Crypt Key]
* [http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=89866 Forgotten Crypt Key]


The Dragon Brood Crypt Key is only obtained through [[Legends of Norrath]]. However, the Forgotten Crypt Key does the exact same thing and can be bought with [[Alternate_currency#Loyalty_Tokens_.28Crowns.29|Loyalty Tokens]] and is also an extremely rare mob drop.

Once you have either key, it remains with you forever as long as you don't complete the mission. If you complete the mission it goes poof.

You can not drop and add people to the mission, you have to drop the mission and get a new one, which allows those in your group to zone in. But in any case, you can get an unlimited number of people (a maximum of six in the instance at the same time) into the instance if you group with them and get the mission, have them zone in, drop the mission, group with other people, get the mission, rinse and repeat.

== Keyring ==
'''With the release of ''[[Terror of Luclin]]'' there is no longer a separate "keyring" for keys.  Instead the ''/keys'' command will open up your [[Achievements]] window where a Keys section records your keys.'''

'''The information below is here solely for archival purposes and is no longer valid.'''

To view your keyring, type /keys in your chat window.  All of the keys on the ring will then be displayed.  To add a key on to the ring, just use it once.  Not all keys can be added to the keyring.  Once a item key has been added to your keyring, you may destroy the key and it will remain on the keyring, enabling you to have the benefits.
