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
High-Tier Treasure Runic-Tiered Equipment, Specialty Reward Items

Higher-tier chests contain greater quantities of treasure and significantly stronger magical equipment.


Mastercrafted Puzzle Chests

For those who reach 100.0 Lockpicking skill, the rare and elusive Mastercrafted Puzzle Chests offer a greater challenge and significantly higher rewards.

  • Location: Found in the deepest dungeons or secret locations, these chests are rarer and much harder to unlock.
  • Risk: Failing to unlock a Mastercrafted Puzzle Chest may cause it to explode and prevent further attempts.
  • Rewards: High-tier loot, rare treasures, and special items await those skilled enough to open these formidable chests.
