Worldforged Key Fragments are a commonly acquired yet frequently overlooked currency that players accumulate throughout their journey to endgame content. These fragments typically drop in quantities of 1-3 pieces from daily quest reward chests and standard leveling chests, though they only begin appearing in level 60+ chest drops.
The primary mechanic involves collecting five Worldforged Key Fragments to craft a complete Worldforged Key. Many players inadvertently stockpile these fragments without fully understanding their practical applications, making them one of the game’s most underutilized resources.
What are Worldforged Key Fragments used for?
Once you’ve successfully combined five fragments into a Worldforged Key, two main paths become available:
1Defias Gunslinger Mythic Scroll Enchant
This path is supporting future builds in free-pick mode by picking up a relatively straightforward but well-sought-after legendary Scroll: Defias Gunslinger – a pirate-themed build wielding a gun and a sword.
Legendary Mythic Enchant Acquisition: The key serves as a crucial component for obtaining the Defias Gunslinger legendary mythic enchant. Players seeking an alternative route can bypass this requirement by reaching level 70 with a Defias Gunslinger character made from Character Creation.
The legendary item is located in a chest inside Deadmines, which can be found in Westfall, and is suitable for players around level 18. If you want to solo it, you’ll need to be a much higher level.
The Chest can be found at the very end of the Deadmines dungeon. You’ll have to defeat the first 3 bosses (Some of them drop Epic Mystic Scrolls, such as Twisted Mind from the controlled civilian elite walking through the first tunnels), but you can skip the final boat by swimming around it. The Chest is hidden in a tent by the Exit of the Dungeon.
Open World Loot
Supporting your current character’s build:
World Chest Access: Worldforged Keys unlock specific high-value chests scattered throughout the game world, including:
- Cache of Frozen Tears (located in Winterspring)
- Cache of Jungle Medicine (located in Stranglethorn Vale)
Generally, if you are a PvE player who plays in new areas consistently, you will have seen at least one Chest requiring a special Chest Key to open it.
Most Caches contain special items and/or Mystic Scrolls, which can prove beneficial for players on free-pick or can be delivered to players on free-pick (provided they are from the same fraction).
Limitations
It’s worth noting that Worldforged Keys cannot open Felforged Chests, despite the similar naming convention. These felforged Chests are legacy content from a previous game update and remain inaccessible through the current key system, serving only as environmental remnants of discontinued features.
