The Timeworn Reliquary Key is a unique Path of Exile item used to open special reliquary chests found in high tier maps. Reliquary Keys are obtained by chance when completing T16 maps and select endgame encounters. They are used on Reliquary chests, glowing gold chests that replace normal chests in qualifying maps. Opening a Reliquary has a guaranteed chance to drop a legacy unique item from the past sometimes with enhanced stats. Success rate increases with each supported league on an affected map. Maps must be T14+ with at least two of these active: Breach, Abyss, Legion, Beyond, Bloodlines. Keys are rare and the chests provide access to highly sought legacy items no longer obtainable by other means.
Run high tier maps (T14+) with multiple leagues active (Breach, Abyss, Legion, Beyond, Bloodlines) - Higher map tiers and more leagues increase the chance. Use map devices that add leagues/mobs like Shaper/Elder items, Sacred Blossoms, Scarabs - More league encounters means more chances. Employ Atlas passives that boost specific league mechanics - Maximize league spawn rates. Equip Magic Find gear before defeating map boss - Stack rarity/quantity for better drop odds.
Delve deeply and focus on Node Encounters/Chests - Higher iLvl areas and rewards. Kill Hardcore endgame bosses like Maven, Feared, etc - They have a small drop chance. Participate in full parties with dedicated leagues carriers - More mobs from additional mechanics. Use Elevated Sextants with modifiers like Ritual, Legions - Packs the map with rares.
The drop rate of Reliquary Keys is estimated to be very low, around 0.01% or rarer from completing qualifying high tier maps, increasing slightly with additional supported league mechanics. Unique map bosses and endgame fights may have a 0.05-0.1% chance, while deep Delving or running fully juiced maps with Scarabs, Sextants, and Delirium can significantly boost the odds. Due to their ultra-rare status comparable to other unique endgame drops like Watcher's Eyes, focused and sustained grinding of optimal boss-centric map and league content is typically required to obtain a Reliquary Key, which can take many hours of dedicated farming over time.
