* Lockpicks have been updated to grant Lucky and Unlucky title points. Players will now receive 250 points towards their Lucky title if they successfully retain a lockpick after use, and 25 points towards their Unlucky title whenever one breaks.

Cynical me : So with this good news there has to be a nerf..... there's always a down side with an anet update.....
What! - no down side - kills Cynical me with dagger+2!
Wow Anet - seriously good update - listened to the community once again and did the right thing.
Kudos!

All weekend long, you will find special Birthday Cupcakes during your adventures as well as through ticket exchange on the Boardwalk. Unlike real cupcakes, these special items have some extra qualities that are certain to make you smile. But we doubt these treats will make the vile creatures of Tyria, Cantha, and Elona happy. This is a sugar rush with a vengeance. |

Anet does not always listen... but this update makes lockpicks useful... but with the current money drops I doubt I will buy a lot of lockpicks

w00t. Good job, ANet. A lot of people who afk'd for the title are going to be outraged, but I personally think this was a needed addition. Now Lucky/Unlucky actually works with Lockpicks.

you know, I never wanted to waste gold on these lockpicks. I mean I only have 34k under my belt across all my chars, now bare with me, I'm not the type to farm often at all and the fast accumulation of gold that I have been experiencing under Hard Mode seemed great enough in my eyes; But it didn't convince me to spend 1.5k on the lockpicks.
I'm looking foward to buying lockpicks now that there's more to them. ANET thank you very much for being the best towards your fans.

This makes them worth it in my mind, not only do you get a high end item but the chance of upping one of two very expensive titles,
if you have spent 60 gold per point, and playing nine rings cost 10 tickets, which is 150 gold a shot, so this is way cheaper.
Ring of fortune costs two ticket so that 30 gold a game if you lose, maybe cheaper but most play 9 rings to up the title.
You also up the treasure hunter title doing this, and the wisdom one if you get a gold, and then if it doesn't break you get even more out of it!
This is a perfect update, even if the drop rate of them is reduced

Sir Skullcrasher
That is a nice update!!

Its a nice addition, even though the amount you get is really a bit insignificant compared to how much you nee to max the titles/gain a level.

Thank you ANet for listening and changing this so fast.
It gives me a reason to actually buy lockpicks now, and a way for me to work on my Lucky/Unlucky titles without getting booted off my internet for being idle so long.

Why dun unlucky increase the rate of LP been broken. That way, people will think twice doing afk-farm. Lol (Meant to be a joke)
Anyway, good updates by anet. Finally, a way to earn luck titles without the help of festival.

So, that is about 60,000 gold to get 1,000 unlucky points excluding you getting a lockpick drop.
And lucky is free, because you get to keep the pick for another go!

About time they make the picks worth something with their 1.5k investment.... if you even keep them ~_~

cute, 250 points every few chests will hardly be noticable, but at least I can keep working on my 400k pts to golden while punishing myself with pve.

Awsome update! I was buying lockpicks like crazy and getting mostly golds.. I have 31% of retaining and I think +% to retain for people who were working hard for their titles is good reward, I don't understand why people without those titles complain how they don't have big enough chance to save their lockpick...
ichigo_panty
Lol. 250 for each LP not broken. How long will it take for me to get golden. It is much faster to use the 9 rings but no loots from it.
Yea, i agree that 250 is barely noticeable , but at least it helps in the title chase. Although getting unlucky title is much easier with LP now.

arcanemacabre
Not to mention that Lucky/Unlucky titles are account based. That's a big thing, so I think 250 is just fine

I could go out and buy a 2930 lockpicks, then i would get my 2nd tier of unlucky, lol, I actually have the money to do that, and just that, it would wipe me out, but hell it would be more fun that doing afk rings!
Zaganher Deathbane
Nice way to increase our luck. It's worth it to buy lockpicks now. MWAAAAAAAAAAH! Anet. I love you
Frozy
Thank you Anet
Now we can get those titles without AFKing in special events
