Skier's quest Chemical - Part 2 has been creating a bit of confusion in the community as it seems that the quest was (temporarily) changed and it required the key to room 306 instead. Some say it's true. Others say it's not. What's going on?
There’s a strange legend (?) circulating in the EFT community.
Apparently, the quest Chemical - Part 2 experienced some mysterious changes at the start of the wipe. A portion of players (myself included) completed the quest as usual, like in previous wipes, while others found themselves stuck because their key for Room 220 no longer unlocked the door.
Some players noticed that the quest text had changed, stating: "So here's the key that you found there as well, and try to dig up further. My guys said it's from a dorm room. I got a tip that the fucker changed the lock. The lock seems to be some cheap shit, and the same kind of lock was seen on room 306. Chances are the key might fit."
What did this mean? That the correct key to unlock Room 220 had become the key for Room 306.
This led to everyone scrambling for a 306 key, which immediately became impossible to find on the Flea Market, skyrocketing to insane prices.
Additionally, some players misinterpreted the quest text, mistakenly believing that the room required for the quest had changed to Room 306.
Later on, it seems BSG made another adjustment, causing Skier to give out both the key for Room 220 and the key for Room 306 as part of the Initial Equipment. However, those who had already accepted the quest before this change only received the 220 key and were still stuck.
Finally, BSG appears to have reverted everything back to how it was originally, with only the 220 key being necessary to unlock Room 220.
Apparently, they wanted to introduce this change, but instead of doing it right at the start of the wipe, they did it when it was already begun, creating a lot of confusion.
Who knows, maybe in the next wipe we’ll see this variation of the quest return, hopefully introduced from day one?
