da_mic_1530 · 4 Apr 2006 at 08:45

i need to buy lockpicks, where from?

Nimzicki · 4 Apr 2006 at 08:47

Thieves guild, or go to the stables just outside the imperial city, turn around, face back towards the city walls, then follow the wall round to the left, you'll come across a fella dressed all in black, he'll sell you a batch.

theres a bloke in brumna if your part of the thief guild that'll sell you 100 for 500 .if your good in magic your better of getting the spells i'm thief but been working my alteration magic up so can use spells got average open lock nice and quick. need to find out where hard and very hard open lock spells are though.

im 95 hours in and level 30. only finished Arena out of the questlines, nearly done theives guild tho and am 1 mission further on from university entrance. Not done fighters or assassins yet and closed 2 oblivion gates. That shows how much there is to do in the game.

Wyrdo · 4 Apr 2006 at 11:22

Yeah, definately so much to do in Oblivion

I started doing more of the Dark Brotherhood quests last night and the story is getting great! I'm not going to spoil it by saying which mission I'm up to but I think this one is going to be tough!

If ya want a good trick for raising your magical attributes get into the arcane university. Make a spell that is the minimum magic cost and make sure it is a spell you can set to 'self' (targeted spells have to hit a target) and wander round casting it. Easy peasey!

been setting myself on fire for days now getting my destruction skill up! lol.

nothings tough when your level 30 unfortunately

took on all the gaurds in the imperial city the other night. Racked up a bounty of 15k for multiple murder, then went to jail by accident so busted out killed everyone in prison and took back my stuff. Got landed with a 60k bounty which i ended up biting and paying thru the guild to allow me to enter towns without having to kill 10+ gaurds and civvies. Problem is i could have stayed wanted, theres no one really left to fight

My enchanted 'Umbra' Sword is rated at 33 attack my blade skill is 100, my light armour is 100 and my strength with my augmented armour is 136.

I'm 41 hours in, closed 3 Oblivion gates, got the amulet to Sean Bean, just got vampyrism and am creeping slowly up to Level 4 (still on 3 lol) - Not keen on sleep see :cool:

Ultra_Extreme · 4 Apr 2006 at 11:32

at her house by at the imperial waterfront, by the garden u first meet the thieves guild ppl at. she was asleep when i went in so you just take it and go

dustiestrat · 4 Apr 2006 at 11:54

i ended up pickpocketing her just as she was walking to armand just wait until midnight next day and she'll be walking nice slow towards armand and just steal it

IF, and it's a big IF, you want a nice lockpick, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more.

Than may I recommend doing the "Shrine of Nocturnal" quest (can be found NNE of Leyawiin). You get a lovely 'Skeleton Key' that boosts your skill up to 100 and unlocks 99.9% of locks

Comes in handy for those missions when you're stuck in the caverns with 1 lock pick, wraiths galore behind you and the only way out is a hard locked door!

Without spoiling it, it's a pretty easy quest to do.

Like so many others, first few hours I spent exploring the place and did this pretty much near the start (think I stummbled on it whilst doing the Dark Brotherhood quests).

Has definately been a godsend as I was having to backtrack all the time to purchase lockpicks.

Good man, you've given me my mission for tonight, this will no doubt come in very handy before I start doing the Theif's Guild quests
