Lockpicking
Lockpicking is the art of opening secured containers throughout UO Enigma. Skilled thieves, treasure hunters, and dungeon delvers can uncover valuable rewards hidden within locked chests scattered across the world.
Unlike traditional Ultima Online lockpicking, UO Enigma's system rewards dedicated specialists with access to unique loot tables, stolen goods caches, skill scrolls, rare resources, and powerful equipment.
Benefits of Lockpicking
Access locked dungeon treasure chests. Discover rare equipment and magical items. Find Stolen Goods caches for Smuggler turn-ins. Obtain Skill Scrolls and Spell Hue Scrolls. Earn Challenge XP and achievement progress. Unlock access to Mastercrafted Puzzle Chests.
Dungeon Chest Tiers
Throughout the world you will encounter four tiers of dungeon treasure chests.
| Tier | Required Lockpicking |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 29.0 |
| Tier 2 | 55.0 |
| Tier 3 | 78.0 |
| Tier 4 | 92.0 |
Each chest tier provides increasingly valuable rewards and stronger magical equipment.
Resource-Themed Chests
Dungeon chests appear in several resource-themed variants.
| Tier | Chest Types |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Silver Chest, Shadow Iron Chest |
| Tier 2 | Copper Chest, Bronze Chest |
| Tier 3 | Gold Chest, Moonstone Chest |
| Tier 4 | Valorite Chest, Obsidian Chest |
These resource themes indicate the chest's difficulty and reward level.
Lockpick Durability
Lockpicks are not indestructible.
When a lockpicking attempt fails, there is a chance that your lockpick will break.
Carrying spare lockpicks is highly recommended for extended dungeon expeditions.
Possible Rewards
Every locked chest contains its own assortment of treasures. While no two chests are exactly alike, skilled locksmiths can expect to discover a wide variety of rewards.
Possible Rewards
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Wealth & Valuables | Gold Coins, Bags of Gems, Decorative Curiosities |
| Magical Equipment | Weapons, Armor, Shields, Jewelry |
| Adventuring Supplies | Resource Satchels, Crafting Materials, Potions, Ammunition |
| Rare Discoveries | Skill Scrolls, Spell Hue Scrolls, Stolen Goods Caches |
