Lockpicking

Summary

The Lockpicking skill allows players to:

• Use NPC-bought or crafted Lockpicks to unlock locked chests and containers.
• Open treasure map chests found with Treasure Maps.
• Work in conjunction with Detecting Hidden and Trap Tools for unlocking Dungeon Chests and Paragon Chests.
• Benefit from the weekly Region Bonuses on dungeon and treasure chests.

Dungeon and Treasure Map Chests

• Dungeon and Treasure Map chests have a Lock Difficulty ranging from level 1 to 8, with a Lock Progress value from 0-100%.
• Players make Lockpicking attempts using Lockpicks, with successful attempts increasing the Lockpicking Progress.
• If a chest has less than 100% Remove Trap progress, players have a chance to trigger a trap while making Lockpicking attempts, which cancels their attempt.
• As the Remove Trap progress increases, the chance of triggering a trap decreases.
• Players can double-click chests to open a Lockpicking window:
  • Displays Lockpicking/Remove Trap success chances and progress values.
  • Allows selection of different tool materials to see success chance changes and make attempts.
• Players can alternatively double-click Lockpicks and target the chest.
• Single-clicking a chest will display its Lockpicking/Remove Trap progress (if any has been made).
• When a Dungeon Chest reaches 100% Lockpicking progress, a timer starts after which the chest will reset (higher difficulty chests have longer reset times).
• Using exceptional and colored material Lockpicks increases:
  • Effective Lockpicking Skill
  • Progress gained per successful skill check
• Chance to successfully Lockpick:

 ((Effective Skill - Chest Minimum Skill) * 2.5%)

Continuous Lockpicking

Players can enable:

• Continuous Lockpicking: Automatically makes Lockpicking attempts until the chest is unlocked.
• Continuous Remove Trap: Automatically attempts to remove traps until successful or a trap detonates.
• If a player's Lockpick or Trap Tool breaks, a new tool of the same resource type will be used automatically.
• If no tool of the previous type is available, the automatic process stops.
