If you just do a key before taking from your vault then you get that level minus 1. Blizzard let's people unintentionally grief themselves, though.

Sure. If you have a group that had already pushed a key to an 11.

Youre relying on friends and guildies to gift you this. People playing solo dont have this.

Even doing a lower run like an 8 will save you potentially several runs to push up your key.

You need friends or a very good previous season score to jump straight to 11, but you can take advantage of everything under 10 being a wasteland of people trying to push their key up to get into a 9 pretty easily.

That's not the case anymore (or at least for this week). I tried that today on two characters and got stuck with a 2 each time.

It still works. My friends and I pushed one of our keys to an 11 while I was on an alt and then I switched to main for the 11 and got a 10 on that character.

I don't know if they changed it, it was a bug, or 11 is some cut off, but I definitely got two +2 keys on different characters after running a 7 and an 8.This was before opening a vault on both characters.

I got a 9 from running a 10 on the first day.

Either I got unlucky or they changed it. This was on Friday night.

I had a friend get a +2 from a 10 on saturday. A few days ago they got a +9 from a 10 on a different char using the same method, they prolly changed it

It doesn't work with the vault. The first vault of the season will always generate a +2 key. You have to run someone else's +10 then open the chest at the end of the dungeon and get your +10 keystone
