Lockpicking

Description

• The Lockpicking skill allows players to use Lockpicks to unlock Dungeon Chests and Treasure Chests. Dungeon Chests and Paragon Chests will also require the player to have the Detecting Hidden skill and use Trap Tools to remove any traps from the chests in order to be opened safely.

Summary

• Players can use npc bought or crafted Lockpicks to unlock locked chests and containers
• Required to open treasure map chests found with Treasure Maps
• Used in conjunction with Detecting Hidden skill and Trap Tools for Dungeon Chests and Paragon Chests
• Dungeon and Treasure chests benefit from the weekly Region Bonuses

Dungeon and Treasure Map Chests

• Dungeon and Treasure Map chests have a Lock Difficulty that ranges from level 1 to 8 (based on dungeon location or map difficulty) and a Lock Progress value from 0-100%
• Players can make Lockpicking attempts on the chest using Lockpicks with successes increasing the Lockpicking Progress
  • If a chest is at less than 100% Remove Trap progress, players will have a chance to trigger a trap while making Lockpicking attempts, which will cancel their attempt
  • As the Remove Trap progress on a chest increases, the trigger chance of traps on the chest for both Lockpicking and Remove Trap chances decrease
• Players can double-click chests to open a Lockpicking window
  • Lockpicking/Remove Trap success chances and progress values are displayed here
  • Players can click buttons in the window to make Lockpicking/Remove Trap attempts on the chest
  • Additionally, in the Lockpicking/Remove Trap window, players can rotate through different tool materials to see success chance changes and to make attempts with those tool types if they have any in their backpack
• Players can also elect to simply double click Lockpicks and target the chest
• Single clicking on a chest will display the chest's Lockpicking / Remove Trap progress (if any has been made)
• After a Dungeon Chest has reached 100% Lockpicking progress, a timer starts after which the chest will close and reset (with higher level difficulty chests having longer reset times)
• Using exceptional and colored material Lockpicks increases the player's Effective Lockpicking skill as well as increases the amount of progress made on each successful skill check against on the chest for the related tool
• A player's chance to successfully Lockpick is ((Effective Skill - Chest Minimum Skill) * 2.5%)
• Dexterity/stamina does not affect your lockpicking

Continuous Lockpicking

• Players can now enable "Continous Lockpicking" and "Continuous Remove Trap" for Treasure Maps, Dungeon Chests, and Locksmith Training Boxes
• If Continuous Lockpicking is enabled, the player will continue to make Lockpicking attempts until the chest is unlocked
• If Continuous Remove Trap is enabled, the player will continue to make Remove Trap attempts until the chest is removed of traps or a trap is detonated
• If a player's Lockpick or Trap Tool breaks while using the Continuous mechanic is enabled, a new tool of the previous resource type will be used
• If no tool of the previous resource type can be found, automatic Lockpicking or Remove Trap will stop
