I seem to have run out of lockpicks!
Fairly quickly too, considering I reached level 25 without picking a single lock...

I needed to join the thieves' guild, so I learned what I had to learn to meet the test. Then I found that picking other locks might help too, so I quickly scored five levels of lockpicking. Until then, I had sold most lockpicks to merchants. Apparently, they've managed to sell them to other customers again. I've been far and wide, and I have asked most people what they have to offer (traders or not). Not a guard in Verdistis has not been asked for lockpicks...

How to get them?
Is it possible that the game has "run out"?
They're simply very low on the probability for loot.
I waded through a horde of orcs, hoping one of them would drop a lockpick.
Now there aren't any orcs left in the large orc camp on the main map.
Still no lockpicks.

Does Heaven's Gift (get item for mana) have a chance of producing lockpicks?
If it does, how many levels do you need?
I'm a bit tired.
Finnigan sold only a carrot.
