'''Lockpicks''' are items that are mainly used to [[Picking Locks|pick]] [[Lock difficulty|locks]] on [[Box_(treasure)|treasure chests]] found from the [[treasure system]]. They can be purchased at the local locksmith in every town. If you are within one of the three main starter towns, you can find the locksmith by typing {{boldmono|[[DIRECTION_(verb)|DIRECTION]] LOCKSMITH}} where you'll be able to purchase and repair lockpicks when broken. Repairing the lockpick does reduce the modifier of the lockpick however, so eventually you will break a lockpick enough times that it should be replaced instead of repaired. [[Lock Mastery]] Masters have the ability once per month to renew a lockpick back to its original modifier.

=== Lockpick Conditions ===
It appears that bending a lockpick will move the condition value down by one. Bending a poor condition lockpick will break the tip. Bending affects the condition, but not the modifier. Repairing a bent lockpick will affect the strength and modifier.

=== Lock Mastery Crafted Lockpicks ===
The Rogue Guild skill lock mastery provides the ability for rogues to make their own lockpicks. Each successful lockpick attempt has a quality associated with it: far below average, fairly average, and exceptional. This determines the range the lockpick's modifier will fall into. Strength is unaffected.
