The good news is that these voyages cost far less to purchase than the Ashen Key Stash Voyage. When the Map is received from a Bilge Rat Voyage, it has a chance to yield an Ashen Key when the chest is unearthed. However, the Bilge Rats also offer a variety of other shifting Mercenary Voyages, and these Voyages have a chance to spawn a Skeleton’s Orders Treasure Map when fighting mini-bosses like Skeleton Captains. We mentioned that the Bilge Rats offer an Ashen Key Stash Voyage for a high price. Getting lucky with other Mercenary Voyages This method requires a lot of patience, but over time, you can gather numerous keys - an ideal strategy if you feel like very casual playing or multitasking. You can find ideal ponds at islands like Mermaid’s Hideaway. There’s no absolutely confirmed spot to fish for Ashen Keys, although players largely suspect that fishing in ponds is the best way to get them because of higher spawn rates. This can be several different objects, mostly junk, but there’s also a chance that you can get an Ashen Key. If you fish without bait, there’s a chance that you can catch and reel in a Treacherous Plunder. Grab your fishing rod and head out for some relaxing reeling. The Voyage itself is a simple one-step treasure map and doesn’t really have any other rewards. But if you’ve got a lot of currency built up, it’s a very fast way to get your Key.

The trick is that this Voyage costs 99 Bilge Rat Doubloons - in other words, an arm and a leg, which pirates are already short on. One is usually called the Ashen Key Stash Voyage, which rewards you with the Key itself. Head to any Tavern and talk to the Bilge Rats representative there to take a look at the rotating Mercenary Voyages you can buy. There is a guaranteed method of getting an Ashen Key, but it’s pricey. Trying to come across a Key Master by chance can get frustrating. Some players try to reset islands with Captains/Guardians by letting the whole team die over and over until a Key Master spawns, but this method isn’t always the most reliable (and can get boring). In appearance, the Ashen Key Masters look similar to Guardians but a bit more burny, and they will be clearly labeled. If an island would have had an Ashen Guardian, there also seems to be a chance of the Guardian spawning as a Key Master instead. Since Captains can show up as many different enemy types, there’s no guarantee of finding these mini-bosses. So, how do you track Key Masters down? They can show up either in a Skeleton Fort raid or on islands where you are attacked, taking the role of a Skeleton Captain. One of the most reliable ways to get an Ashen Key is to find a Key Master on an island and defeat it: This will start an Ashen Key Master’s Notes quest, which will show you the location of an Ashen Key. Fortunately, while these particular quests were time-limited, the Ashen Key Masters stuck around.
