What to know
- Raid Keys are required to start the Minotaur raid on the new Blue Planet island.
- Raid Keys only drop from Sea 2 enemies that are not using weapons, so target unarmed NPCs.
- Use fist/melee attacks (no swords or ranged) and a high area-clear build for fastest farming.
- Increasing melee power and farming the fastest-clear locations boosts keys per hour.
If you want to join the Minotaur raid quickly in Sailor Piece, the fastest way to stockpile Raid Keys is to farm specific Sea 2 enemies with a melee-only, high-AoE setup—this guide shows the exact targets, build choices, and loop routine that convert playtime into reliable key drops. Follow the steps below to maximize kills per minute, avoid wasted fights, and leave with far more keys than casual grinding.
Minotaur Raid Keys details
| What | Details |
|---|---|
| Where to use keys | Blue Planet (Minotaur raid entry) |
| Which enemies drop keys | Sea 2 enemies that are unarmed (no swords/weapons) |
| Required attack type | Melee / fists only (no swords) |
| Best build focus | High AoE clear speed, upgraded melee stats |
| Farming principle | Kill as many eligible enemies as possible per minute |
| Optional boosts | Use strongest unarmed NPCs you can one-shot; raise melee and luck where available |
Which enemies to target and why
Raid Keys only drop from Sea 2 mobs that are not carrying weapons, so the identity and gear of the NPC matters more than raw enemy level. Target unarmed Sea 2 enemies specifically because enemies with swords, spears, or other weapons will not drop Raid Keys. Choosing the right enemy type is the single most important decision for efficient farming.
How to build and fight for speed
- How to pick melee tools: Use fists/melee only; sword or ranged attacks do not count for drops.
- How to optimize stats: Prioritize melee damage and area-of-effect clear speed so you can kill many eligible enemies rapidly.
- How to pick your target NPCs: Prefer enemies you can one-shot or kill quickly without dying; the faster the kill, the higher your keys per hour.
- How to use luck (if available): Increasing luck or similar drop-rate stats will raise chances per kill.
How to farm efficiently step-by-step
Step 1
Equip a pure melee (fist) setup and confirm you will not use swords or ranged weapons during the run.
Step 2
Choose a Sea 2 location densely populated with unarmed NPCs that you can kill quickly; prefer spots where enemies spawn or cluster for rapid AoE clear.
Step 3
Buff your melee damage and AoE—upgrade melee skills, gear, or passives that increase clear speed and survivability.
Step 4
Run continuous loops through the spawn area, focusing on maximizing kills per minute; avoid fights that slow you down or involve armed enemies.
Step 5
Repeat and reset: keep going until you have the desired number of Raid Keys; faster clears yield more keys because drops are random per eligible kill.
Location
Blue Planet is the raid’s destination, but farming must be done on Sea 2 islands—pick the Sea 2 area with the highest density of unarmed NPCs you can comfortably clear; staying mobile and choosing clustered spawn points yields the best keys-per-hour.
Practical tips and small optimizations
- Do not switch to swords or ranged weapons while farming—only melee counts for key drops.
- If you have build choices, prefer AoE over single-target DPS for pure farming speed.
- Target the newest Sea 2 NPCs if they’re easier to clear quickly, since faster kills beat raw level when drop chance is random.
- If you struggle to survive, slightly lower enemy difficulty to keep uptime high; dying slows key accumulation far more than fighting slightly weaker mobs.
Rewards
| Drop | Use |
|---|---|
| Raid Key | Required item to spawn/enter Minotaur raid on Blue Planet |
| Other drops | Standard mob drops while farming (XP, materials) |
How to scale this method for groups
- Solo: Focus strictly on clear speed and survivability; keep loops short and safe.
- Party: Assign roles so everyone targets unarmed mobs; a high-AoE farmer in the group will maximize total kills and keys per run.
Prepare a stack of Raid Keys by farming Sea 2 unarmed NPCs with a high-AoE melee build and you’ll be ready to enter the Minotaur raid as soon as your group forms; efficiency comes down to kill speed, correct enemy selection, and sticking to fists/melee.
