WTB lockpicks, eh? Or really, I should say, WTS lockpicks before the price drops.

That would be funny.

Personally, when I read the title of the thread, I thought it was a suggestion for a weekend. Now I wish it was. Will help but BOTH key drops and un/lucky points is unneeded.

Cosy you silly mouse! Chest running is well the top 3 funnest thing to do in Guild Wars besides Dragon Arena and sitting in towns chatting it up (cause actually playing the game is like stabbing yourself repeatedly).

And while I would rather it be double rares than triple lockpicks, both things are nice. Spose I should start makin some money so I can buy em up.

A double retain rate would have been nice too! >.>

this will make my canthan vanquishing runs much more profitable (serioisly, how do i kill 200 monsters in HM and get no golds, but 10 purples?) those keys are the brightspot of my drops.

How do you expect prices of lockpicks to drop when there's a set price at the merchant?

Whilst were here anyways, what is the fastest chest run? I don't care for drops, I'm merely looking for the Area with most chests. (Pref. a 50/50 chance so I can work on Lucky and Unlucky evenly...

Well this seems to be the weekend that I have been waiting for as it has my name written all over it.

I have struggled to get both of those titles making sure that I kill the baddies that drop the Lockpicks. WOOT.

Bring on the SNOW WURMS!!!

Snowman dungeon is probably a safe bet for being high on the list.

I guess he's talking about the drop from the standard price of 1.25K each to somewhere south of 1K each (which is more than the 750 gold that the merchant pays).

WOOOT! double lockpicks and keys! and finally some lucky or should i say unlucky title farming!

Anyone else feel the CoF runners will be doing a big high five in doomlore this weekend? Not to mention that crazy group of people who started complaining about raptor nestling abuse/slaughter during the 3rd year anniversary....
