Lockpicking?

Jomo · 30th April 2006, 10:07 AM

Well at long last my lockpicker has finally become GM

At LONG LAST, I though, as I have about 30 chests from Miasms's,10 from Titan Paras, 10 from Deamon Paras and 1 Chest of Heirlooms. Leaving me with no lockdowns at my house. Now I will be able to open them all, gain loot and goods for my Vendors.
WRONG
I cannot open any of them

Why? does any body know or any ideas as to what I'm lacking?
It has me puzzled.

One other thing, could you please tell a doddering old man where you guys get your smart banners from that you use on your posts?
Some of them look really good and I think I could find a good use for one.

Did you release them first?

Jomo · 30th April 2006, 11:21 AM

yes they were released... had them inside other chests so they were not locked down.

Just put them on floor ( out of chest ) tried to unlock them ....zilch...nothing

No garauntee on unlocking it, are you getting the failed attempt message, or is absolutely nothing coming up...

Even at GM you can still break lockpicks on chests.

I usually break quite a few lockpicks opening up the Miasma chests. I find that it helps me if I line up several chests and alternate trying to open them. Sometimes I'll get stuck on one chest that just won't open, but if I can move on and open another chest first, that seems to fix the first one.

Yeah, I break several also, but I just plow through even if it takes 30-40 attempts on one chest. It'll pop eventually.

yep the breaking of lockpick and failed to unlock is what I'm getting.

I'll try Gwenyth's method and let you know how I get on.

You have about a 10% chance at unlocking GM chests.
Just have about 50 Lockpicks in your bag and use a Last Object Last Target Macro.
REMEMBER the chests are still trapped, so don't open them right away.

Jomo · 1st May 2006, 02:52 AM

OK guys...........

It worked, took some doing but I have now opened 5 of my chests.
Just expected to be able to open them straight away when I became GM, gone through about 30 lockpicks so now I gotta make some more so I can open the rest LOL.

Thank you all for your help.
Still like to know where you get banners from though.
