Lockpicking stuck...

PAlexandria · 07-04-2008, 06:26 PM

So I'm stuck at 95. I've got a bunch of Paragon chests but they don't seem to be doing anything but breaking the picks. Are they GM only?

And what do I have to do to gain, if these chests aren't the thing? GO to dungeons? I'm not a dungeony kinda person and this character does not know how to fight yet and stealth is only at 60 or so.

Suggestions?

Um... that was Greek to me!

Sorry, but I have no idea where to go even or what discord means.

ok this guide will show you how to get there:

Getting started FAQ's

Discord basically is a bard song which lowers resistances and skills, Satyrs use it when they are attacked so when they use it on you your skills will drop by 30-40 points i believe so your gains will be greatly increased. Last I did it it took 3 picks, one gm box and about 45 mins from 95. Of course I macroed the pick ,lock, pick box so I could do it without delays.

Oh and dont bother with the paragon chests til you are gm or you will fail everytime.

On that link you gave me, it says don't go there with negative Karma. Is that just for killing swoops?

**merth** · 07-04-2008, 06:55 PM

No. If you have negative karma, every single thing in there will pretty much attack you on sight hehe. Actually, I have found you need to be a tick or two above neutral karma or the paragons will attack you. It doesn't always happen, but they seem to be more intolerant of low karma than regular mobs. FYI.

Alexandria, are you a mage?
I can get you a rune book for the dungeons that was used my a very good friend of mine to get GM lockpicking.
You would need to recall and use invis alot.
