If you want to get a Steamer Vault Key in Everwind, the first thing you need to know is where to look. These keys are important because they let you unlock the large steamer ships you will see on certain islands. Without the key, these ships are impossible to access, no matter how strong your own ship is.

Islands

Some islands have crashed steamer ships sitting on them. These ships are big, metal structures, usually painted in blue and red, and they are far too tough to break. Most of the time, these ships are larger than your own, so they stand out when you are flying around. To open these ships, you will need a Steamer Vault Key, which means you can’t just land and try to board them without first getting the key.

Mortivar Lord Vaults

The Steamer Vault Keys themselves are found inside Mortimer Lord Vaults, which are part of dungeons on specific islands. Multiple islands have these dungeons, and each one contains at least one vault with a key inside. This means you may need to explore more than one island to find the key you need, but you don’t have to check every single island in the game.

Spyglass

To make your search faster, it’s best to use your spyglass. Start by pressing T to bring up the map, then press R to activate the scanning mode. Look at each island through the spyglass to see which ones are unexplored and to check whether they have a dungeon. This tool allows you to focus only on the islands that matter, instead of wasting time visiting islands that don’t contain a dungeon.

When looking through the spyglass, islands that have a dungeon will show a small yellow dungeon icon. Some islands may not have any dungeon at all, while others will have one.

You only need to visit islands that show this yellow dungeon marker because that is where the Steamer Vault Key is located. Focusing on these islands saves a lot of time and makes your search much more efficient.

To summarize, the best way to find a Steamer Vault Key is to first look for islands with crashed steamer ships, then locate the vault inside the Mortimer Lord Dungeon on that island. Use your spyglass to check which islands have a dungeon before traveling, so you don’t waste time exploring the wrong places. Following this method will help you find the key faster and get access to those large steamer ships without needless searching.

If you want, I can also expand this even more with tips on spotting the ships from a distance, approaching them safely, and the fastest route to get the key for beginners. That would make it feel like a full in-game guide. Do you want me to do that?
