Shady Sam

Thieves' Guild

  1. There are a couple of people that sell lockpicks.
  2. Armand Christophe sells them for 5 gold each.
  3. Go to the fencers, as they have a couple or a dozen lockpicks.

Dungeon, ruins, forts, etc.

  1. Wander outside of the cities looking for a fort or someplace you can raid. There are usually about 10-20 lockpicks in each dungeon, fort, ruin etc.



Tips

  • Go to the arena or someplace where you can get lots of money so you can buy multitudes of lockpicks.
  • Have a high acrobatic for Shady Sam because there are many rocks that get in the way.
  • Have good weapons, potions, repair hammers as well as a high security level because the lockpicks will break, and you will run out of them fast if you have a low security level.

Warnings

  • Save the game before entering places to raid because your game may freeze while in the loading screen.
