Lockpicking

"Sometimes the only thing that stands between an adventurer and fabulous wealth is a simple lock."

General
When confronted with a locked chest, the Lockpicking skill is one you are sure to need. By using lockpicks, an individual can attempt to pick the lock of any container. Depending on the complexity of the lock as well as the individuals Lockpicking skill, attempting to unlock the lock will either (a) successfully open the lock or (b) break the lockpick. A good rogue is always well-prepared with plenty of lockpicks!

Lockpicks are not sold from NPCs, and must therefore be crafted, purchased or stolen from another player with Tinkering skill, or purchased from their player vendor.

Additionally, Skeleton Keys can be used to open a lock of any level once before breaking.
