Algae Ponds Office Key

The Algae Ponds Office Key is a standard-rarity key that unlocks a door on the second floor of the main Algae Ponds building in the Dire Marsh zone. The Algae Ponds POI is one of Dire Marsh's most visually distinctive areas, characterized by its large open cultivation pools and the multi-story administrative building that oversees them. The locked office on the second floor of the main building holds a cache of loot above the busy ground level, offering a reward for runners who take the time to fully explore the structure's upper floors. Because the second floor provides sightlines over much of the surrounding area, reaching and looting the office requires managing exposure to both UESC enemies and rival runners. The key is a random world drop found throughout Dire Marsh, with the Algae Ponds buildings being a reasonable location to search during a sweep of this corner of the zone.
