Avowed's lockpicking system grants access to valuable loot hidden behind locked chests and doors. However, lockpicks are single-use items. This guide ensures you'll always have the tools to unlock those hidden treasures.

Can You Craft Lockpicks?

No, crafting lockpicks isn't possible in Avowed. Your options are limited to finding, looting, or purchasing them.

Acquiring More Lockpicks:

1. Merchant Purchases: The simplest method is buying lockpicks from vendors. They're inexpensive (17 copper each) and readily available at various shops:

• Lynna’s Shop: Located in Claviger’s Landing (typically stocks three).
• Second Hand Sundries: Found in Shantytown.
• Desperate Measures: Situated in Paradis.
• Extremely Legal Goods: Another Paradis merchant.
• Grinning Balarok: Also located in Paradis.

Tip: Merchant inventories refresh, so check back regularly.

2. Looting Enemies: Defeated enemies, particularly bandits and thieves, may occasionally drop lockpicks, though this isn't a reliable source.

3. Merchant Inventory Restock: To force merchants to replenish their stock:

1. Travel to a Party Camp.
2. Rest and leave the camp five times to advance in-game time.
3. Return to the merchant; their inventory should be updated.

This works for lockpicks and other consumables.

Lockpicking in Avowed:

Avowed's lockpicking is simple; no minigames are involved.

1. Approach a locked container.

Key Strategies:

• Buy lockpicks whenever possible.
• Utilize the camp reset method for consistent supply.
