Lockpicking

"Sometimes the only thing that stands between an adventurer and fabulous wealth is a simple lock"

Lockpicking is related to the Thief skill set (as Stealing/Snooping will be) and is required to unlock several types of chests across Sosaria. A necessary skill to unlock Treasure Hunting, Dungeon and Paragon chests. Unlocking other player's chests or lock boxes is not yet a feature.

Chest Difficulty: Locked chests have a tiered difficulty system as follows: (easiest to most difficult)

Plain - Expert - Adept - Clever - Devious (Plain/Easy  - Expert/Medium - Adept/Hard)

Related items: Lockpicks  - Easy/Medium/Hard Lock Boxes

(Tinkering crafts that require iron for Easy, Bronze for Medium and Agapite for Hard Box)

Leveling: This skill has capped gain capacity up to 75. Each box gives a maximum of 25 skill starting from 0. From 75 a player must unlock Cleverly locked chests from Dungeons and TH. At 95 skill, Deviously locked chests can be lockpicked

Tips: Explosion damage upon opening a chest can be avoided by being hidden. Looting can also be done while in hiding.
