I have a few things to say here: -First off, great video. Very useful, well laid out and well presented. -Ive watched a lot of these "Key profit" videos and theres a few points that people need to realise. All of these profit/loss calculations are presuming you extract safely and not only do you collect the entire haul, but dont lose the kit that you entered the raid with. Of course, the bulk of these profits are small items you can stash in your secure container so you can at least lock that in. Compare this to any non-rare key "loot run" we've all seen presented and from a strict P/L perspective it doesnt make much sense to me. Granted, these vids are always presented as "Find the objective, loot the room and extract" for the sake of clarity whereas in practice most players are going to be looting the whole vicinity, run their quests etc and only incidentally using their keys if they happen to have them.
Maybe it's just me but the marked rooms need a buff. Without the red and blue keycard pulls, which both came off one key, it would've been ugly profit-wise. Losing almost 6 mill combined on two different reserve marked keys is awful
They definitely saved me on the cost of the key for sure. But I think the marked room loot will stay the same until BSG can fix the exploits with these rooms.
@@therealghostoftarkov I'm sure you're right. Which is unfortunate because nobody should be taking a loss of several millions for using a key because loot is nerfed due to exploits. Classic "balance" by BSG lol
Luckily my first key consisted of 2 red rebels, red card, green card, taiga and a few keycard cases and docs. One of the red rebels, red card and keycard case were the same room. I probably won’t use another one
Great video. One thing I’d recommend for future key guides is to put your total loot value for every raid you’ve done so that we can see how much money you average after each run.
You are not taking into account that you can trade the 3 reserve marked keys in with 1 use left into a 10/10 customs key. The value of those keys is always influenced by the customs marked room key barter.
314 is very hit or miss, but there's 22 jackets and 5 safes between 2 and 3 story that can help make up for it. HAd a rid where I used my 10th time on the key, pulled another one from one of the jackets in the 2 story bathroom.
I have run these personally since starting pve. After the loot nerf, ALMOST ALL marked rooms are just a gamble. 1 use for Dorm 314 goes from 4-6 million rubles and 7-10 uses are from 17-28 million rubles. Marked rooms since the loot nerf are 100%%%%%%%%% a gamble. I have made 30 million rubles in 2 recent runs to dorms marked. That is after using 15 uses between 2 keys and making less than 10 million rubles. Marked rooms WILL NOT guarantee you make your money back any more. I have went through whole marked room keys and not got a single keycard out of 10 uses. Keycards are your only way to make the money back on the expensive marked room keys, and with it not being guaranteed to see even 1 key in 10 uses, I would say at the current loot levels, its ONLY A GAMBLE. Dont waste the opportunity to sell that key at 9 uses after you use it for the cult quest especially if youre broke at the time.
with drop rates and potential for some rooms to outvalue others its better to do larger key runs hitting multiple locations to make sure you dont miss profits. why I jsut sell the dorms key when it drops
I bought a 1 use dorms marked for The Cult - Part 2 and somehow got Violet AND Yellow keycard inside The best marked room I've ever got in my life lmao
The math doesnt seem right to me. If the 3 reserve keys net roughly 500k (-1.3m + -2.1m + 4.1m) and you made 19m off dorms key isnt your net profit 20ish mill. Or did i miss something.
So the cost of the keys were 20 000 000. The total profit we made was the 4 000 000 from RB-BK and the 19 000 000. Meaning a grand net of 3 000 000. We can’t regard the negative net amounts as another cost since we already includes the total price of the key. Hope this helps 👍
@therealghostoftarkov what im saying is the way you present the info on the 3 reserve keys was that you spent 20m and made 20.5 mil on the 27 openings in total then battered for marked so the entire marked room is profit. I enjoyed video. I'm just stuck here saying you profited more.
I'm relatively new to the game this is my 2nd actual wipe, 700hours? Never found a marked key never mind dorms.... 4th raid on PVE on factory found the 314 marked key in one of the jackets in the office like wtf
My 314 (pvp) have been absolute garbage. I’ve made roughly 1.5 mil off 9 charges. No keycards, red rebels, and hardly any loose loot valuables. If I find another one I’m selling that dogshit. It was the same for me and my friends last wipe too.
314 sucks rn dont buy it got 4 mil in 9 uses one yellow card and a few case items that’s all lol 20 mil is wild for the terrible drop chances luckily i got it off a scav 😂

Yeah my bad on that one. Someone from a previous video also requested it and I forgot to put that in. Next time though 👍

Probably also nice profit would be after selling 314-dorms key (1-use) on the flea and restart the RB-marked cycle.

Only problem with replicating this myself is I'd have to actually make it out with the loot to sell it 🤣
@@allenthurman7577 That is the one big limiting factor yes 😂
I pulled 2 reds a green and a black also a red rebel last week when I used my 10 uses
Nice!
Another great vid man!
@@petonium Thank you!
my first opening got a blue keycard edit "it was under the books. i looked around the room for a good 5 min after looting to find it.
Nice! 👌
I dont know if your doing pve or pvp but i would recommend shared bedroom key its cheap but if you have dspt you can ×10 it almost 100% if the time
Mainly a PVE player. Full disclosure: I have never unlocked Lightkeeper or been to that part of the map since he was added 😂 Getting there though!
@therealghostoftarkov ive only had him one time on pvp when he first came out and i kept getting sniped going to the lighthouse so i gave up😭
great insight!
First 4 uses were nothing but S tier loot. The last 6 uses for marked dorms key were C tier loot. It felt like they nerfed it.
Even the 10th one? 😂
nice video bro keep going

There was a few raids it quite literally spawned nothing like one of em it spawned two fn five 7 pistols a mk 17 and a few bobbles
runing mark room like 100 times until you get the red key card and make a video
I got a red on the 10th time what you mean?! 😂
good video, just a sidenote: I just picked up a red keycard from rb-pkpm ^^
So definately bother, atleast if you go down to turn on power for D-2
