Testing on an adept lock, I've had cases where the lock pick clearly flicks to the right when first attempting the lock, and the sweet spot is on the left. 178.183.243.196 06:52, 27 November 2011 (UTC) I've come to the conclusion that it does not flick in any specific direction, and so am removing that section. 129.7.17.174 05:05, 16 November 2011 (UTC) I believe it does flick in the correct direction but it's very hard to see as only the very first flick will tell you what the direction is then it goes back to the default position and flicks again, so it starts oscillating, and it's impossible to tell a correct direction from an oscillating movement. I tried many times to use pick flicking to divine the location of the opening gap, with no luck. I've also observed that ti seems to flick in a random direction. Is this confirmed that the lock pick flicks in the correct direction? I have personally observed the pick initially flicking opposite directions on the same lock.

Confirmed to be false, the mod (Lockpick Pro) which shows the location of the sweet spot has been used and no changes happen when equipping a torch. I changed to order so it went novice locks → apprentice locks → adept locks → expert locks → master locks this is similar to alterations, illusions and restorations, currently is in prerequisite order like destruction (which is possible anyway by clicking on the order button) could we decide which is better - dooomninja 22:15, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Torches and Lockpicking Īpparently holding torches against a lock makes lockpicking easier. I recently edited this page changing the order and this was undone and I feel I should give my reason for the change rather than entering an edit war.
