Should we be getting these? They are character bound too, so can't even consolidate them onto one character or sell them
(EDITED to change thread title - I know what it is, but if I get this on a character that isn't going to be able to get through the mass of gankers around the vaults in IC, it's essentially useless as I can't move them to one character and deal with them all at once).

My question is, why is it character bound? I want to be able to use it on one of my characters that is equipped for IC.

All rewards if bound should account bound since they implemented AWA.Si vis pacem, para bellum

For something who send you into IC on an crafting build
And this for someone who enjoy IC street fighting.On the upside, some might be carrying +20 K telvar and attack this one. Happened during previous mayhem.
Was on an NB doing the quests as an backup to PvP main to hand in if unable to play.
Was fighting some mob and someone stupid attempted to gang me, this was an pure pve but an Khajiit NB in medium.
Well he died and I got +10K telvar. Ported to Cyrodil very fast and back to bank it.Grinding just make you go in circles.

✭✭✭At release, Bone Shard Trophy Vault was opened with a Carved-Bone Key crafted from 60 Bone Shard trophies. These no longer exist in-game and instead have been replaced by Key Fragments. This is unlike the outdated key shards for the other trophy vaults, which still exist in the game files despite having been similarly replaced by Key Fragments.

You can fast travel to the IC Prison (or maybe it's White-Gold tower) dungeons...they have an entry to the trophy room that completely avoids PvP altogether.

✭✭✭✭✭those are what you get when you convert key fragments to get into the vaults in IC, key fragments used to different variety (like for that one used to use "bone shards" to convert into the key which was only good for 1 of the vaults)
that one in particular you would have to take to the bone shard vault in the IC, i think those are always character bound though but you usually spend them immediately instead of opening the door and then leaving
there is a lot of other things that are character bound in IC too (such as the recall stones to port back to the base, i have some toons i dont use in IC much anymore that have like a couple dozen of them)
they really should go back through and update the items from IC that are almost 7 years old now

these ARE the keys you get from combining the key frags together, so you would just have to take it to the right vault to use it (you can only enter the vault doors if you have a key, or enough key frags to make a key)

Anywhere. The vaults are actually in the two dungeon instances. Which you can access just by teleporting to them.
Well anywhere except cyrodill and inside IC

If so, then it might be a good idea to wait till IC is empty again & go there with invisibility potions.

I don't think a Bone Shard key will work in those dungeons. The vault in White Gold Tower is the "Daedric Embers Trophy Vault" and the vault in Imperial City Prison is the "Daedric Shackle Trophy Vault". The "Bone Shard Trophy Vault" is in the Memorial District of Imperial City. Maybe some of the changes made in recent years to turn these things into generic "key fragments" means a Bone Shard Key will work anywhere. But it is possible that will only work in Memorial District.

I thought you needed 60 shards to even open the door? Since the key combines only when using the door itself. Will the door even open if you just have the key and no shards? Someone needs to test this and find out lol
And I do believe it is only for the memorial district door, as it is the key for the bone chest inside. But if someone could test if it works on any door, that would be awesome too.

✭Each IC district has its own vault that takes its own specific key, same with the two IC dungeons. I just went in on my crafter, who is set up for maximum speed and absolutely no defense, took a random ladder out of the base, and full speed sneaked (snuck?) all through the city to hit the vaults. Went from district to district, queued for Cyrodiil to get out when I was done, and ported into the dungeons to do the vaults there. I had zero trouble.
PC NA, CP2200+. Character creation is the true endgame.

the original "bone shard" fragments were basically converted to the current key fragments
however the key itself still has to be used at the specific vault door

if for whatever reason you left the vault without opening the chest, you can still use the door as long as you have a key (every 60 fragments you have automatically get converted to keys when you enter a door)

✭✭These key are basically the "already combined" shards, one key opens the vault once.
It is very weird for them to do this going back to the original names however!

even when they removed the original fragments they never changed the name of the keys, since those were based on the vault after the fragments were combined
it was not very obvious that the actual item was added to the inventory and was usually consumed immediately upon opening the chest in the vault lol

It seems the Carved Bone key will open the Bone Shard trophy vault in the Memorial District of the Imperial City.

But is that confirmation that banking extra key fragments prevents them from being converted? Putting them in guild stores is different than banking.

✭1. Get invisibility potions.
2. Choose a district and go up the ladder.
3. Sneak over to vault.
4. Open box.
5. Que for Cyrodiil, then IC again so you don't have to walk back to base or between districts.
6. Repeat for each district until you're out of keys.Also, I don't know where this mass of gankers you speak of was. I had like 200 of these keys and spent a good amount of time using them all yesterday. Not once was I even detected and not once was there anyone guarding the vault. In fact, the population for IC overall was very low all things considered.

✭✭✭✭✭@Holycannoli I put spare key fragments in my bank all the time. They don't convert when you go into a throne vault if they are in the bank. When I enter a throne vault, I bring 150 key fragments (which convert on entry) but the rest stay unconverted in my bank.

These archaic keys are ridiculous. Who was in charge of putting crap in "reward" boxes? Anyway, gonna just delete these because they are like getting a coupon for a store you're never going into IRL, - useless and cumbersome to use. Just my opinion to add to some of you who are not impressed with this element of the event as well.
