There are currently only 2 ways to receive chess pieces.

1. from Random Drop

Fighting monsters will sometimes drop 1 or more pieces of chess. Chess pieces gathered from Monsters will be Encased which makes them tradeable.

As long as the Chess pieces stay in thier shell it will take room in your backpack.

When the shell is broken the chess piece by clicking use on the encased chess in your backpack the chess piece will no longer take up space in your backpack but it will no longer be transferable

Note: Taxes are very high to trade chess pieces, take that into consideration when selling chess. Usually better to have lower price and charge tax. Selling them via exchange solve this issue.

2. found from Instance Bosses

Derelict House in Village of Angriyar / Village of Kingala

Palace of Kings Magish in Tomb of Kings / Royal Tomb

Exiles Fortress in Eagles Nest / Barrow of Sadness

Killing a boss in an instance will cause a Key to drop to the group up to a max level.

There are 2 different chamber types the key can be used on:

  1. The Silent Chamber containing Green Armor. They have weaker durability and non-transferable.

  2. The Singing Chamber containing Chess pieces. Amount may vary anywhere between 1 and 16 pieces

- If loot distribution is set to random a random member of team will get the key. Opening the signing chamber will result in chess pieces dropping to random group members.

- If loot distribution is set to leader distributes the key will go to group distribution and can be given to any group member to open the chamber and then chess peices will go into the group distribution.

Chess Pieces found in the Instances will not be encased and therefore non-transferable. Each boss drops different pieces and which will become unavailable to you after you reach a certain Level.
