I'm not sure what the breakdown is actually, but at 50 there won't be much you can pick. I was at 47 and walked around covetous and despose for a couple of hours, found a few things I could unlock, didn't even go up a .1, but if you can het your hands on a set of "lockpicking boxes" you should be able to get to 90+ in a few hours. I borrowed a set from a mate and his set capped out at about 92 or so, so now i can go to dangerous places and level my skillWhat level of picking do you need to be before picking locks in dungeons?
I'm at 50 skill (real) and I can pick some chests on level 1 of Covetous or Despise (I assume other level 1 areas), but not others.
