• Added Lockpicking

Lockpicking allows you to open chests of various different difficulties throughout the world, provided you have both the sufficient tier of Lockpick and the required skill level to use it.

Great care has been taken to make sure this lockpicking minigame is, to our knowledge, perhaps the most detailed and closely simulated one to real lockpicking principles ever created.

It incorporates real lock aspects such as binding order, underset and overset pins, key and driver pin separation, and perhaps most uniquely the need to manage both your lockpick as well as a second tool, the tension wrench, at the same time as you progress through the lock.

Additionally, all of the sound design / foley was created in house, using recordings of real lockpicks and lock components, and we are extremely proud of the beautiful visuals created by our very talented 2D artist.

Every lock is different, however at the moment every lock stays the same even after a server reset, which means it is possible to memorize or record the pin order of any lock to help pick it faster next time, however as there are so many chests in the game only the most dedicated lockpickers will be able to memorize a lot of them.  

• Lockpicking is a standalone Primary skill in the Profession tree.

• There are 3 different tiers of lockpick as well as chests:

  • Novice

  • Adept

  • Master

  • Higher tier chests have more pins, up to a maximum of 8.

• You need to have a high enough Lockpicking skill level to use the higher tier lockpicks:

  • Novice Lockpicks can be used by anyone to open a Novice difficulty chest and learn the skill through action.

  • Adept Lockpicks require level 50 Lockpicking, allowing you to open Adept chests.

  • Master Lockpicks require Level 100 Lockpicking, allowing you to open the most valuable chests in the world.

• Lockpicks are not simply bought from an NPC for gold, rather you need to find them.

  • Novice Lockpicks have a chance to be found in almost any Barrel in the game, and are intended to be rather common items.

  • Adept Lockpicks are only found inside Novice chests.

  • Master Lockpicks are only found inside Adept chests.

    • This means you need to work your way up the tiers to obtain a Master Lockpick, allowing you to open the highest pin chests, such as dungeon chests.

• All dungeon chests are now lockpickable, except boss chests which need a specific key.

• All dungeon chests are Master difficulty, with the highest number of pins.

  • This means you must have 100 Lockpicking skill and to have obtained a Master Lockpick to pick open dungeon chests.

• Increased total experience required for all material lore skills.

• Added new creatures for Sarducaa

• AI no longer loses defence based on level if below level 100, nor gains defence if they are above level 100.

• Added new Dunewalker Shroud cape in the account items that be unlocked using veterancy coins.

• Added new craftable weapon heads for Sarducaa

• Added new craftable weapon handles for Sarducaa

• Added new craftable armors for Sarducaa

• New resource materials added for sarducaa
