Santa Rana in Castillo Sapo was a good place to farm Wooden Keys for me (three wooden keys in one run). However, Santa Rana in Santo Pollo didn't provide a single wooden key for me in 15 runs.

While Squinty might be a better place to farm solely wooden/stone keys, the good thing about Castillo Sapo is that you get unique Santa Rana gear for wear or to sell for gold farming while your key farming.

Really? My Key came from the one in Santo Pollo. (To avoid confusion, Santa Rana in Castillo Sapo and Santo Pollo are the same creature)

Gorgo in Flotsam drops both Wood and Stone keys.

All tower floors drop Stone or Gold keys.

Remind me, who is Gorgo?

Gorgo is a boss in Flotsam that is first seen during Louis LeBisque's promotion quest. Only Musketeers can do him. I'm quite frankly amazed that he drops Keys!

Yeah, I farm him a LOT just because. Just check out his wiki page.... lol

While only Musketeers can fight Gorgo, other pirate classes can go back to the Bad Company first promotion enemies, like Bert Finney for Privateers, Jojo Mojo for Witchdoctors and Queep for Buccaneers. For some reason, Sarah Steele's enemy, Mick Dagger, isn't repeatable, as the location does not have a sigil.

Jojo Mojo drops Wood Skeleton keys.

Squinty drops Stone Keys, too! I got a lot of them from him the other day. Surely he gave you Stone Keys?

He did and he seems to drop them more often than the fish or valencian guards in total. However, as you know, the stone keys are far less often than his wooden keys. I was hoping someone knew of a stone key source that dropped keys as consistently as Squinty with the wooden keys.

The answer is staring you right in the face. If Squinty is better than Void Fish or Lucci Guardsmen, then it's Squinty. I've actually won more Stone Keys off him than Wood! He's consistent with them, too.

(Rocco in Gullet drops Wood Keys)

I think you are misreading my post. I'm asking if anyone has seen an enemy that drops stone keys as well as Squinty drops wooden keys (yes he drops stone keys better than the two examples I gave, but Squinty for wooden and Kane for gold keys are excellent locations compared to the limited amount of stone keys that Squinty gives). In other words, if "x" equals best stone source then what is x > Squinty > Fish/Guardsmen.

However, if you have only come across Squinty as the best stone source.....he might in fact be the best source. I tried Lo Pan in hope the skeletons would contribute to the stone key drop chance.....but I didn't get a single key to drop at all.

While I admire everyone's determination to snag Skeleton Keys, do keep in mind that chances of obtaining them strongly differ, whether you go solo or team up, but you'll still get the keys, no matter what. It's the chance factor you got to remember.

This is kind of true. While I agree that the chances are random, but with instances like Squinty, you actually have more enemies with more chances to drop certain loot. In other words, more chests with the same loot table, does equal more drops. You are increasing the chances with the additional chests.

15 chests all with a chance to drop a key equals 15 chances which equals more keys.

4 chests all with a chance to drop a key equals 4 chances which equals less keys.

My question is if anyone has encountered an enemy that drops just as many (or more) chests as Squinty....and is on the Stone key loot table (preferably only the Stone key loot table).
