Pickpocket-only oddities

[kirill-busidow]

How many pickpocket-only oddities? Is it worth going for pickpocket just for them (money is plenty) ?

[Altos]

It's not worth choosing the pickpocket skill just for the very few exclusive oddities, no. Not in my opinion, at least.
Save your skillpoints for something more useful, I'd say.

How many oddities i can get via pickocketing? That otherwise are hard to get without combating NPCs who can cause trouble for game (like killing protectorate, etc).

All factions have their own unique insignia. From the top of my head - Black Eels, Scrappers, Protectorate, Praetorian Guard, JKK, Coretech - these are usually non-hostile except during some quests (like eels vs scrappers at junkyard) so they can be tricky to get. I'm not sure if Foundry Guard and SGS have their own insignias or not.

In any case, these are usually worth 1 or 2 oddities so if you're going to get pickpocketting just for this I'd say it's not worth it.

Even without any of Pickpocketing/Lockpicking/Hacking you can find more than enough Oddities to hit the level cap, so really no skill is worth taking purely from an Oddity PoV.

[mindless]

It is worth if you want to collect as many oddities as possible) There some really rare oddities that can be only stolen(or you need to massacre entire level).

Looks like pickpocket is also good for quests.


Unless high biology (100+?), you cant do Find Pierce murderer quest for Abram&co. unless you have either high pursade OR pickpocket.

With about 40 pickpocket you can take one item from most NPCs. High perception snipers would be the exception.

Err... that's not true. There is a way to complete it without persuade or pickpocket.

[kirill-busidow]

With high biology, yes.

No other way, if you know other - please tell.

p.s. 75 pickpocket is not enough for Mordre.

You can go to core city and get more information there.

I was in core city, fed Joe his 200 credit burger, talked to Oscar and saw Specter list for Operation Banishment.

Then you should have all the pieces to give the brother the correct information.
