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.
