LockpicksEdit

For more information, see the main Lockpicking article.

Lockpicks are used to pick locks on chests and doors. They are found in containers everywhere and can stack up to 200. They are also sold by merchants for nine gold. Lockpicks can be used many times if you're careful enough when picking locks and avoid breaking them. Pressing a tumbler for too long increases the chances of breakage, and the difficulty of the lock also has an effect. If you force a lock, you will always break a pick.

Repair KitsEdit

Repair Kits can be used to repair damaged armor. All repair kits can be used on any level of armor, but lower level kits are less effective on higher level gear. Standard kits can be purchased from Merchants and Innkeepers.

Repair Kit Level Description
Petty Repair Kit 1 Repairs items of any level, but is less effective on items over Level 9.
Minor Repair Kit 10 Repairs items of any level, but is less effective on items over Level 19.

Soul GemsEdit

Soul Gems are used to recharge weapon enchantments or resurrect yourself or other players who have fallen in combat. Normally, these are found as Soul Gem (Empty) and can be filled by using the Soul Trap spell or the Soul Lock passive ability. Once filled, they can be used for recharging and resurrecting.

Crown Soul Gems can be purchased from the Crown Store or received via Crown Crates or Daily Rewards. They are always pre-filled, but they are otherwise identical to standard Soul Gems.
