Raising picklock past 185

Where do I do this? The guards around the door in Red Sun Mines attack me when I'm picking because of the changes a while back. So that door's out. Where's another door to work on? I'm tired of having my pick lock at 185 :(
 
You're at a loss until more locks are put in for the 185-210(20)ish bracket. This has been mentioned several times before, and is a serious problem that needs to be adressed. This lock in question is deep enough that there is NO way to realistically make it out of the mines without getting killed. Would it be possible to change the goblins to not be regarded as a city? This would allow rogues to go back to picking it in peace. that's the only major hurdle in the path to 250 that I have found.
 
A simple way to fix this problem would be to have one of the buildings in the new city being built have a lock in this range. It is already being worked on, and changing the trivial rate of the doors does not seem like it would be too difficult. A final consideration when doing this is the difficulty of the guards we're going to have to outrun when we gain heat. No one likes to die from a quadding 65 just because he took some pastries :sadf:
 
Thanks Gabontik, I think you're the first person to actually answer any of my posts. I didn't think there was another door in that range, but I really wasn't certain. Thank you.

Isn't that the point of a time sink? Every skill/tradeskill has one.

Sorry Garison, haven't played a rogue on this server so don't have any advice for you. :sadf:
 
I consider getting killed every 4-5 attempts and having to run back more than just a time sink. This was a good placement for skilling up until the revamp, and in my mind the new problem of getting killed upon trying it was an unintended consequence. I do not think anyone intended rogues to madly commit suicide over and over again just to skill up their lockpick.

Agreed. It's not in a city, which is why Wiz even put in the aggro code. As far as I know, there's nothing in there to be stolen. It's just a locked door to another part of the zone. Around the door is just CRAWLING with guards and other dark blue mobs. Probably at least a dozen of them? It's insane. First pick I tried there I got owned.
 
I'm just going to say that there are doors to raise from, even with the sun mines one guarded.

Thanks Wiz, I'll just have to find it now. This is also why I was not so adamant about complaining about it in the first place because I wasn't 100% certain there wasn't somewhere to raise it now.
 
I have been told that there was a door deeper in redsun mines that was trivial at 215, I havent varified it myself yet but with 180 skill i failed at picking it quite a bit.
 
posting again, I found two more locked doors that where too far above my skill at 181+5 to work on lock picking skill that where realativly safe within red sun mines and a third door that was guarded by 2 goblins but had a zone line right on the other side like 10 feet away. I didnt make it to the zone line and didnt get a skill up off of that 1 try(allthough i did open it) before i died so it is also a possibility.(there was also an imp on the other side of the door)
 
I came with a few friends and we killed the roamers, so i could pick the door easy. I am at 225 skill now at lvl 55, which is max for me. Yay for lockpick:D

Next: pick pocket :(
