Hello, I just remember when buying the keys they were more expensive back in the kunark era. Here is a quote from the pdf for the plane. from 1999-2001.
When you zone into the plane and find yourself standing on the first island, one of the first things you’ll see is a MOB called the Thunder Spirit Princess as well as a dwarf NPC called the Key Master. We’ll talk about them in a sec. First, let’s talk about the rest of the MOBs on the island. The outer edge of the island is dotted with a circle of eight Thunder Spirits (level 50), placed far enough apart that they don’t aggro each others when attacked. Because they are so close to the edges of the island, you want to surround them with tanks when attacking so as to prevent them falling off the island or getting too close to the other spirits/princess. They hit for up to 160 DMG and proc Choke, a low level DoT. After killing all eight Thunder Spirits, you should have a collection of 24 key pieces (Miniature Swords and Lost Rabbit’s Feet), as each slain spirit yields three swords and three rabbit feet. These can be collected by players and turned into the keys necessary for teleporting to the next two islands after killing the island “boss” (see below).
You’ll also see the Key Master (level 53) when you zone in. This is a little dwarven vendor who sells a selection of items including mana batteries, keys, and coffins for corpse recovery. Before you think about doing something stupid like attacking him, don’t. If you attack him, he'll death touch you. He's never been taken down and can't (he may be level 53 but he hits for 1800+) so don't get any zany ideas. You also don't want to attack him because once he gets out of position, he won't respond to hails or sell items. He'll start saying things like "I am too busy right now" and such. If you do aggro him through other means, such as an area effect spell off a procing sword for example, he'll attack the person responsible for the attack, but not the party or everybody else in air, just the person who ticked him off. The Key Master sells keys for the teleport pads.
These are the Key of Swords (510pp), Key of the Misplaced (255pp), and Veeshan’s Key (1 copper). He also sells unstackable Jade Inlaid Coffins for use as a reagent in the necro spell Summon Corpse, but not the stackable version. Lastly, he sells a wide variety of Mana Batteries, as well as a Box of the Void
