Skeleton Key
Skeleton Key is a rare trinket, not a key item. It does not open locks and it does not change boss chests. The effect on the wiki is a 25 percent chance that a container drops double loot, and Luck raises that chance. You find it as a drop, at a merchant, or from crafting, then preorder it at the Museum.
Recorded behavior
The Museum price is the disagreement. A February 2026 Steam thread puts rare preorders at 40 crystals. Older guide text says 100. I keep both. A community note says the trinket shows up more often during the Ruzgar quest. That note is not confirmed, so it stays a rumor in this paragraph and not a row in the effect table. Golden Tooth handles a different loot and gold rule. Whether the two stack is not written down.
How to get it is the search. The honest answer is the drop table plus the Museum, with the price conflict visible. There is no single chest I can mark on a map.
