Lock Mastery info

[Artha]

As we get more task information, here's a place to put it.

Here's locations around the landing with different conditions...you need them for at least 1 task.

Average Light, Fog	Thraks Inn, Trophy Room
Average Light, Fog	Wehnimer's Garden, go south
Average Light, Fog	Wehnimer's Bridge, west side
Average Light, Fog	Cul-de-Sac

Average Light, Fog	1 room East of Town Square Northeast

Average Light, Fog	Town Square Southeast
Average Light, Fog	Town Square Central
Average Light, Fog	Town Square Central, Tree

Possibly incorrect.

Very Little Light, No Fog	Thraks Inn, Bar Room
Very Little Light, No Fog	North Ring Road, West of Furrier
Very Little Light, No Fog	Outside Brass Tower
Very Little Light, No Fog	Frith's Inn, Front Desk
Very Little Light, No Fog	Helga's Tavern, Barroom
Very Little Light, No Fog	Outside Locksmith Shop

Some of these will change, be sure to sense first.

Apparently, you need at least a gold lockpick to get audience reps.

Takes 5 non-guild members in the room to get an audience rank. Having guild members lowers the requirement.

Lock difficulties:
Room condition reps have 2 types, easy and decent challenge. Easy reps can be from anything. Decent challenge has to be 67% of your ability.

Audience with decent challenge is also 67%

At rank 6, you can measure a lock using calipers. This is 75%.

Also, as you progress, the lockpicks you can use become more restrictive.

Most of that info's from DREAMRAIN on the official boards. So thanks, DREAMRAIN.

Can anyone explain why there was not a major announcement released with the entrance of Lock Mastery? Was it some attempt at preserving the secrecy of the Rogue Guild? Did I just miss it? It was not even in the Official Rogue Announcements folder.

The rogue guild is not a secret.. never has been.

The location of the guild.. maybe.. the existance.. never.

[CrystalTears]

I thought it was only available in Plat. :?:

[Artha]

It got stealth released the other day.

In a perfect Gemstone, the Rogues' Guild is like the mob. You know it exists. Everyone knows it exists. You just don't talk about it out loud in public places.

In other words, you should not run around like an idiot reciting, "Could a rogues' guild member please buy me a vaalin lockpick?" because someone may remove your head. You can however whisper to a rogue friend that you trust, or speak in guild (if you can) to ask such questions.

In Gemstone as it is, asking "WOULD A MEMBER OF THE ROUGE'S GLD PLZ TTM I HAVE A QUESTION AND I NEED A VALIN LOKPICK" is perfectly acceptable.

Just my opinion, of course.

On topic, would those in the know please please please keep updating us on how lockmastery is turning out? If it is worthwhile, I may reactivate my account.

It is currently keeping the rogue's folder on the official boards buzzing like all hell if thats any indication.

[Edaarin]

Heh. It's alright, but it doesn't look like we get anything neat to play with for awhile (ie, past rank 6). Box hunting sucks.

[LordSagan]

I checked all of the locations listed here for "Dim lighting, no fog" and none of them were dim lighting.

205 and 206 are your friends.
