Where's a good place for a level 10 rogue to skill up on picking locks? I'm
a little too low to go to Befallen.

Thanks!

The locked entrance to Paineel is safe. There's also a locked door in East
Freeport in the basement of a building called Hallar's Resale. (By the way,
you pick your way into this door and you can start the Burning Rapier quest.
http://www.ewpz.com/eq/burning-rarpier/) Once you're somewhat near 200, you
can try picking the lock in the bank of North Freeport.

Why the urgency to skill up?

Its clear there aren't any locked doors you'd like to be able to open,
because you haven't bumped into one yet. :)

I just like keeping my skills maxed every time i level. Saves me some
headaches later on.

I wonder about that as well. Many of the locked doors that needs a
rogue are often in higher level area like SSRA temple.

Well when I do encounter those locked doors it won't do me any good to have
my pick lock skill at 10 or 20.

And you really see that happening before you can safely reach the door
in Befallen??

Your comment about wanting to max every skill at every level was equally
goofy. While I agree its a good idea, I'd wager some of your weapon
skills are lagging... its nearly impossible to keep them all maxed at
the low levels. Most people don't start worring about it until the 20s
or 30s.

Which is what I'd really recommend to you as well.

Aye, it's helpful on a Cursed raid. Definately needed for an Emperor raid
or you're stuck camping the Assasin's room. :) There are also a good number
of locked rogue-only doors in Vex Thal (goo1 comes to mind). There's also a
door or two in Sebilis if my memory serves me correctly.

But aside from that as an easier-and-more-commonly obtained goal, having a
rogue along for the City of Mist or Chardok for the royal family for the 1.0
epic is quite helpful (for rangers, shammies, enchanters, clerics).

Here speaking for the family Bard.

Bards used to be allowed to train in Pick Lock at level 40. Now young Bards
automatically train in the skill at level 10. As our level was between
those two levels, it did not come to our attention until one of the Newbies
mentioned it. So, off went the Bard to practice.

He stationed himself underwater in Paineel at the rock leading to The Hole.
And now his skill is 117, which seems to be the trivial on that lock.

He cannot find the correct door upon which to practice in Befallen... Down
the broad steps he went and to the left there is a door with a keyhole. But
the door opens without a key and without a lockpick...
He does not know where to go in Befallen.

In East Freeport he went to the shop named Hallard's Resales, down two sets
of steps into the basement and found the locked door. This one, just as the
locked door in the North Freeport bank, will not allow practice. His skill
is insuffient.

Player level is 39. Where to go now? What to do to increase skill?

A friend of mine mentioned this in passing on the weekend.
He said that door doesn't seem to be locked now. He is a
Rogue so I'm wondering if lockpick now works with the picks
simply in your inventory.

Just for fun, I'll run over later and see if a non Rogue can
enter.
