    Would be really fucking nice if we could get this shard patched to allow proper field training of Lockpicking AND Remove Trap in traditional ways (DUNGEON AND TREASURE CHESTS).

    74.1 actual lockpicking with 77.0 shown. Cant get GM boxs open, and no more gains on 50/50 box.

    Do you happen to have any of those 70/70 boxes left??? ....

    Edit: Detect hidden/20 = bonus to LP actual. Got it working after 38.5 detect

    I screwed up by not reading this first.

    My DEX is 76 and I have .5 DH and 22.9 LP

    Should I do something to lower my DEX back to 10? What should I do if not?

    It's not a big deal.. Will just have to work for some more decimal points. Or if you have character slots and haven't raised any expensive skills, you can always remake your character. start em off at 10 and lock it right away.

    Detect only seems to change your ability to attempt, not success chance or gains. you'll need to either drop your dex enough that your displayed is also 94.9, or start picking dungeon chests.

    Having the same issue. My regular stat is showing 76 and my show real is 74.4. I'm getting no gains on the 50/50 box. Raised my detect hidden to 12 like suggested and tried more 50/50 box grinding but no gains. I can't attempt the gm box either. Perhaps a 70ish box?

    Same here, 60.0 (46,7 show real). No way to gain anymore on a 50/50 box and GM box, raised my Detect Hidden to see if it would make a difference, but nope.... Anyone making some 70/70 box around here would be greatly appreciated :D

    Edit : Well actually I was hitting the wrong tinker box.. with a real 50/50 box, I was able to gain until 76 (68 shown real) The problem being that I've got 100 Dex before wanting to gain lockpicking... I've raised DH until 16 but it didn't do anything for me.. I think that my Dex is way too high and I don't see how I could get it back down... That doesn't make any sense anyway, that skill is way too clunky...

    I have the feeling that, even if I find a 70/70 tinker box and I am finally able to gain some points, I am anyway screwed in the long run as my show real skill and normal shown have too much of a gap..

    I had a similar problem last week. My DEX is 30 and I had to raise DH to 40 before I could transition from a 50/50 to a GM box. @DockyDOc 100 Dex is a killer.

    I don't know if there is any helpful math in this, but at least it can be done buy just fussing with your stats. A 70/70 box would have surely been helpful, though. I did get it to 94.6 real and 95 shown.

    Here's a question, I have a GM carpenter with around 70 tinkering. Does that matter? Will the lock be harder than a box that is 70 carp/70 tink?
