Tome of Otherworldly Venoms not Dropping

I am trying to get the Tome of Otherworldly Venoms and have run through 80 keys to the Palace of Lei Shen. I have completed the Rogue Order Campaign as well. It occurred to me that I may not have done something since other players don’t seem to need to run this many scenarios, or it’s bugged.

Each trove has a Chance and there is no Bad-Luck protection on this, so you’ll want to make sure you’re opening ALL of them every time.

I don’t remember how long it took me to get them on my Rogue back in the day, but I do remember that it wasn’t too many once I started opening all of the Troves.

I open on average 5-6 per run; it feels rare that I can get enough burial trove keys to open them all

That’s fair.

There are some tips on wowhead from the MOP/Legion days that are still fairly relevant.

Largely they are:

  1. Skip the first two rooms almost entirely.
  2. Don’t fight things except the boss in room 3
  3. Open only big gold chests - they have a 20% flat chance for a key, and ‘out of place’ ones will have a mob to chase and kill that has a 100% chance
  4. Try to end early for a bonus key by talking to the NPC

You can also save keys between runs so you can open all 8 chests.
