Main / Skills / Thievery / Lockpicking
Description
Lockpicking is the skill used when picking locks, such as door locks, gate locks, and large padlocks and small padlocks on large chests, with lock picks, in order to open them without a key.
Usage
When you pick open a chest, you will receive the lock in your inventory (not the key) and the chest will be unlocked. When you pick open a house door lock or gate lock, the lock stays attached and will remain unlocked for 10 minutes real time. Examining the door will reveal how much time remains.
On each attempt, regardless of fail or success, you will either break or damage the lock picks.
The success rate of lockpicking is effected by the quality of the lock picks, the lockpicking skill, the lock ql, the wall or container ql, and for a minor degree its parent skill Thievery. The quality of the lock picks also affects the chances of them just outright breaking.
High quality locks will prevent any lockpicking attempt with lock picks that are approximately more than 20 QL lower.
Notes
- Approximately 30 lockpicking is needed to be considered capable.
- The quality of the container or wall makes a huge difference.
- Not all lock types and the stuff they secure are equal in difficulty. As an example larger ships are more difficult than smaller.
- To gain lockpicking skill you need lock picks.
- To make lock picks you need a minimum of 25 effective* skill in locksmithing.
- The higher your skill, the shorter the timer becomes.
* The effective skill can differ depending on anvil ql and the skill curve on Epic servers.
