Ok - I'm tired of looking for a pick lock thread ..
Anybody here able to point me to a legit pick lock thread.
I'm looking for a list of doors and the skill they require to open, just for my curiousity mainly although I do need to finish working on it and get those last 9 points.

<a href=http://pub146.ezboard.com/fthesafehouselibraryreadonly.showMessage?topicID=7.topic>Here</a> is one in the library about how to raise your skill. The reason there isn't a comprehensive guide to the skills needed for doors is that most rogues max out their skill and only a few doors fall in a position where a person with less than the required skill would be fightning in the area. Since you can raise your skill on any door you can pick, most people prefer to do it in befallen where it is safe. After getting bored, some mbe to the door in freeport.
That said, if someone wants to compile a comprehensive list of doors and the skill needed (and also maybe the skill needed, for types of chests), I'll put it in the library so we always have it.

Ok, finally sat down and got 210 in pick lock. Are there any doors requiring pick lock mods plus 210 skill ? I know ssra basement doors are 210, which is why I'm asking. Thanks

The door that leads to the Shade in Sleeper's Tomb requires either a piece off of Zlandicar to open, or 210 skill and a skill mod item.

A lot of people don't know about it, but there's a lock in PoTranquility, right by the PoK book. Another rogue showed it to me, actually.
You know that table, with the erudite in the white robe is at? You know the book floating above this table? Right above that... you can't see it, atleast I never did. Kinda tricky to catch; I'd say it's about a foot above that book. I got my picklock from 200 to 210 in about 3 minutes with that lock =P

I can't find the info I need anywhere so hopefully someone here will know...
Above lvl 50 Pick Lock seems to increase at 2 per level. Is this correct? Reason I'm asking is I'm lvl 52 and can't seem to get it above 204 using the PoT book trick

2 per level past 50 is correct...maxes at 210 at level 55
Re: Ok - I'm tired of looking for a pick lock thread ..
The locked doors out of VP also require 210 plus a mod, right?

Just a (very limited) start on collecting data for this...
Everyone seems to know Befallen = 11.
Paineel (entrance to The Hole) <= 85.
Paineel (entrance to the city) <= 170.
Freeport North bank = 204 < x <= 206.96. (??? 200 + 2% mod doesn't open it. 199 + 2 different 2% mods does open it. Tonight, 1-21-04, 200 + 2% does open it. Odd.)
Freeport East (room with Scraps/Gem Case) <=130. (122?)
Pick Lock modifiers do stack. At skill 199, I am unable to open the bank door in Freeport North with my +2% mod Mechanized Lockpicks on my cursor. I am also unable to open it with +2% mod Forhal's Gauntlets equipped and regular Lockpicks on my cursor. However, with the gauntlets equipped and the mech picks on my cursor I am able to open the door. Pick Lock modifiers do stack, and the bank door is simply higher than 201 skill, or else some weird stuff happens with modifiers and the 200 skill cap.
I also tried using the Gaunts as lockpicks the other day when I got them. I got the "you aren't holding the key" message. They did not work as lockpicks when on the cursor or equipped.

I wanted to thank you for your help in some of your posts. I have done some searching on Rogues lockpicking and posted on my guilds website. Anyone is welcome to see what I have currently found and I beleive posting is allowed if registered.

The way I understand it, there isn't an upper limit on any door. All the posts saying "you can go from 11 to 200 in Befallen" started back in the old days, when 200 was the highest you could go.
For example, your list shows the Paineel rock as 1 to 70. I did almost all of 85-169 on the rock that is the entrance to The Hole (in the water past The Warrens entrance) and 170 on the rock for the Paineel entrance so 70 is definitely not the cap for either one, if there is a cap at all.
I think I might start another rogue for the sole purpose of finding the exact numbers out for these things. How pathetic is that? =)
re:skilling up lockpicking
I found no use for this skill until reached the higher end game (ST key hand in, ssra), the best way imo is to wait until you can get to PoTranquility.
All you do is put your lockpicks on your cursor and chain click on the feather on the inkwell on the desk right next to the port book.
You can skill all the way from 0-210 in less than 30 mins clicking, and you don't get that annoying pause of teh door swinging shut that you would in places like befallen....plus it's a safe zone so you won't need to worry about some gimpy mob hitting you and interupting your skilling up.
picklock raising in 15 mins, 1-200 46+
go to Plane of Tranquility, when you zone in go to that book thing, stand behind it, if you look under it you can see the door leading out of the building from there, from behind the book, click the grass outside, do this really really fast for like 15 mins, your skill goes up very fast, i just did it =)
