This item drops off of Cursed Hozen Swabbies and opens a Chest inside their sunken ship, just south of Old Pi'jiu. The chest is likely a semi-rare or just somewhat slow spawn and contains the Cursed Swabby Helmet. Cursed Swabby Helmet

The chest can be lootet weekly.

Does anyone know if the key itself can be looted weekly?
I got my first key relatively quickly, used it on the chest and decided to farm another key for next week. Killed several dozens of them and no second key dropped.

Upon arriving at the sunken ship, you will find lots of hostile Cursed Hozen Swabby. Kill them until you receive a Barnacle Encrusted Key. Note that they have a frontal cone attack that you should definitely move out of, but for some reason they don't indicate this with a cast bar, so watch their animation carefully. Also, don't forget to go up for air if you need it and don't have a Damaged Diving Helmet! After getting the key, head to the bottom floor of the sunken ship, and look under the stairs to find and open the Sunken Treasure.

Good luck! :)(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

Is there any pre-requisite to looting the key? I've heard from friends and guildies that it took them 2-15 kills at max to get a key.

I've been farming down here for over an hour now on my WW Monk, clocked up at least 50 kills and still no sign of the key, about to give up.

If you are grouped to get the key, everyone in the party will get it.

The drop rate is way to low for this item, it being a weekly quest. I've looted the key in 20 kills or less maybe three times, and I do this 7 times a week (7 level 90's). All of the other times its taken 50+ kills to get the key, the most I had to kill was 126. I'm at the point now where if I don't get the key in 20 kills (for the 20 elite quest), I give up. The amount of work doesn't justify the reward, as I've only ever received a small amount of coins, besides the initial Cursed Swabby Helmet. IMO, do it the first time, get your helmet, and forget about doing it after your 20 elite kills.
