Dummies Guide to Lockpicking 300
Step 1 : Do the Rogue “Polly” quest
This entails feeding a parrot a cracker close to ratchet, then unlocking the chests on the boat. You want to do this until the chests are grey to you, and ya, its going to take a while.
Step 2 : Poison Quest
Little known trick, while doing this quest in the NW barrens in the Venture Co. area is a chest at the top of a tower… Repeat what you did in Step 1. Open that chest until it goes grey… That’ll help get you passed or up to 175
Step 3 : Scarlet Monestary (see step 4 if to hard)
You can first start with unlocking the door into the instances, if you find you are too low to start on the door because you are too lazy, jump into the first instance and pickpocket everything in there. This is of course, making sure you have your stealth maxed to avoid detection. You can repeat that as many times as needed, but if you followed step 1 and 2, the door will get you above 200.
