The chance of getting only 2 T-Keys in 100 countess runs (1P Hell) is ~1.5%.
So, happens much more often than you'd expect.

Perhaps. I was talking P5-7 because thats what I usually farm them on (usually P7) so maybe it was presumptuous of me to automatically assume everyone else farming keys was doing the same. But, again being real here, who is seriously farming keys on P1?

I've been keeping track of my runs for the last couple months or more and have well over 100 of all of them. The drop rates listed here on this site are accurate, and most people don't seem to get that "1 in 8 chance" does not =

Key automatically drops every 8th run. When you're playing board games and roll a six sided die, it's not automatically going to roll a 6 on every 6th roll. If you don't have the patience to farm, maybe D2R isn't the game for you.

Drop chances are not much different for P7. I just put it there in case someone wants to verify the odds.

And to answer your question who farms keys on P1: Everyone playing online who doesn't have a bot farm?
Or is there a trick I'm not aware of?

People don't play pub games now? Or have a group of guys they play with on the regular? I haven't played online for awhile but I used to join pub games all the time just to get better than shitty P1 drop rates.

Besides that, the online community in Switch is probably like 1/10th what it is on PC and I never had trouble consistently finding 2 or 3 people to play with - so for people on PC it should be even easier, no?

(until I started playing HCL, then the lobbies on Switch are pretty dead).

Drop chances for Tkey from Countess are 1:13 on P1 vs 1:9 on P7. Dkey (Nihl) is 1:12 vs 1:8. That equals 50% more keys on P7 than on P1. I wouldn't call that "not much different", I'd call that a substantially better drop rate.
