How to find and use lockpicks in Avowed

In Avowed, lockpicking does not involve ability or skill checks; instead, a locked chest indicates the number of lockpicks required to open it, with a maximum of five needed for the most difficult chests. Players can unlock chests by pressing the action key if they have the necessary lockpicks. The game does not include a concept of theft, allowing players to open chests without fear of penalties. Lockpicks can be acquired from merchants, dropped by defeated enemies, or found in the wild, with bandits having a higher chance of dropping them. Multiple merchants sell lockpicks across different regions, and they restock their supplies every few days. Guaranteed locations for lockpicks in the first two regions include various merchants in Dawnshore and Emerald Stair. Locked chests are relatively rare, so players can maintain a sufficient inventory of lockpicks by purchasing them and collecting those found in the wild.
