Does anyone know the formula for keys used versus drop table rolls received?

If I recall, the very first key I put in said I had 3 rolls.

I did all 12 the first week, and I think maybe it said I was at 6 rolls after that, but I could be mistaken. I was surprised at the low number though, considering I think I got 3 rolls from the very first key.

I've just done a 5 more this week. It says I have put in 17 keys and that's worth 7 rolls.

UPDATE: I just added the 18th key, and it still says 7 rolls.
Bite me.

Basically we start with 3 and then get one more roll for every 4 keys. Below is the related wiki entry:




>>
Every player gets three rolls on the rewards table, and one additional roll is given for every four keys used on the chest. Players can contribute keys until 31 January 2023; the chest will open on 1 February 2023, and players will be able to collect their rewards and use keys until 28 February 2023.

seems to me the formula is

'spend hours earning a number of keys' which are divided by 4 =number of rolls

rolls for which the rewards are not brilliant

certainly no incentive there for me to spend the required number of hours for the maximum chance of rewards

rewards for which the possibly better ones rely on luck to receive them

luck which I certainly never seem to have even with luck enhancer ring

You can only earn 12 per week and you get 1 each day you log in. You then only have to spend 5 hours across the 7 days to get the last 5 for maximum keys and maximum chance. Not too difficult or taxing.

Though I do agree with you on a lot of the "rewards".
