POS LM Appraise Reps

[DaCapn]

Whenever I do these reps lately I hear faint whisperings in my ear... "Muuuuuder... MUUUUUUUUURder...."

My script just scrolls through the lockpicks and checks them putting them on the table such that the last one appraised is now the first lockpick. Then I pick out the best manually.

(Basically I picked the second one reviewed and the last one reviewed)

What the hell does this douchebag want from me? I can't ever seem to pick the right one. If I just go by the pick that can get me through the hardest lock, I get nothing. I really felt like this one was pretty clear, guess not... Murder it is.

Edit: Just realized the "put lockpick on table" at the end was caught in RT, so that was most likely my error there. Still... f these reps.

[DaCapn]

The footpads seem to think the first lockpick is better than the second:

You examine the plain lockpick very closely. It appears to be in good condition. It seems to have an unreliable level of precision and has below average strength. As far as you can tell, the lockpick has never been repaired. You could probably handle a fairly plain lock pretty easily with it.

You examine the plain lockpick very closely. It appears to be in excellent condition. It seems to have an above average level of precision and has below average strength.

Things you might notice when appraising a lockpick...

Neglected Inaccurate Below Average

360-395 Fairly Plain
440-475 Well-Crafted

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the number of repairs simply affected the other quantities... in other words it's not it's own variable that determines how good the pick is, it is just used to determine the current precision and strength by subtracting some from the base stats of the pick.

The second one listed got me the rep... apparently it's just which pick looks the most new?

[CrystalTears]

The second one is the only one that has good precision, it seems.

[DaCapn]

I think I've got the hang of them now... just needed to vent.

The briefing for the reps says "take all of the information into account." So long as I take everything but that last bit (which describes how difficult of a lock I could get with the pick) into account, I can get them near 100%. The philosophy for these reps seems to be "a copper lockpick fresh off the shelf is better than a once-repaired vaalin"
