Lockpicks

11:10 PMSo far this month, I've blown 500k on new picks. Any thoughts on which picks are the most reasonable ones to use for a 40+ level 2.5 picking trained rogue? 125k is a bit much for an everyday lockpick.

I could quit picking boxes over my head I suppose, but that would be no fun...

Any suggestions?

1. Take off your armor.
2. Cast Lores
3. Turn off the amunet.
4. Ask me for more money.

06:39 PMI'm not exactly sure if removing armor would help picking boxes myself. I do believe however that Buckwheet was reffering to armor action penalty, it applies to skinning, standing up, dodging e-waves and a lot of other actions. Whether it applies to picking boxes though I'm not sure, but then again I don't believe the very common belief that removing your amulet helps either.

07:26 PMTaking of your armor will reduce the spell hinderance to cast lores. Many people don't pay attention and get the spell failure message then try and pick.
