Hi,

I need to know how / where I can get to the wastelands area ?

there is cellar under ducal's Inn...and there is man who wants me to steal magic lockpicks to him....but I used them already . so can I solve mission still ? and how can I join thieves guild and get throught that locked door ?

you must still have them in your inventory then, check and if you do give them to finnigan and then buy them back that will complete the quest and you can buy them back from him, they should last forever, if your on "the patch" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
and you don't really want to go to the wastelands until you've finished all your current quests, there's no turning back , once you hit the "wastelands" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Talk to Rob upstairs in the Ducal inn (behind the bar) to get a couple quests to join the thieves' guild.

Follow the plot to get to the wastelands (this is at the end of the game)

Before installing the patch, Finnigan's magic lockpicks were breakable, but afterwards they are not. Installing the patch should put them back in Commander Kratus' desk, if they broke when used (but not if they were dropped on the ground). Before deciding to complete this quest, check out what they do for your stats (you can only buy them back from Finnigan in a game started after installing the 1.34 patch).

If the patch does not restore the lockpicks, see
Lost Items - guide and directory of inventory files

i have version 1.34 and was never given the option of buying them back. good thing i saved before turning em in. i ended up just not finishing the quest so i could keep them.

If you started the game after installing 1.34 (upgrading mid-game does not help), Finnigan should have them in his list of goods for sale. IIRC, you have to exit the conversation where you give them back, then talk to him again so his trade item list is updated.

I finished the game under 1.32, and also kept the lockpicks rather than complete the quest.

Warlord - I'm still using the game version .29a, and i did encounter the same lockpick problem but they reappeared in the sarges desk so you must refrain from giving false information.

Arnlof, I'm not sure what you mean with "option". If you give Finn the keys back (vers. 1.34) and then go into his trading screen: You'll see the lockpicks, they're very cheap (in my case= 35 gp).

You DO lose them if you enter the guard house again and steal Penumbra's dagger - exit via door: the lockpicks disappear and are then in Kratus' desk to be regained.
