Razor question

2 things:

1. Is it worth getting dettect hidden and remove trap or is telekinesis just as effective?

2. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to macro lockpicking. I looked it up on wiki but can't figure out how to do the "IfAction" and all that.

thx for the help. BTW these are both for my dungeon Bard.

1. I've personally never used detect hidden/remove trap on this type of character, but I will make the claim that telekinesis is essentially just as effective and saves you many skill points that can be used much more efficiently, and I'm sure 99.9% of people agree with that.

2. What does your macro look like? Here's mine:

Double Click lockpicks
Wait for target
Absolute Target (the GM-made or other locked chest)
Pause 5.00sec
If (SysMessage "yields")
Double Click (key for the chest)
Wait for target
Absolute Target (the chest you now want to lock)
Pause .50sec


The last pause may need to be increased to 1.00sec, it may be from before the item delay got increased. Any questions just ask away

I had that macro but i put in End if before the last pause. I think that was messin it up

1.- Telekinesis works better than detect/remove trap...it never fails. However, for dungeon chests all you need to do is take 1 step back and open the chest, the explosion will go off but you will not take damage, no need to telekinesis, but ONLY dungeon chests.

2.- Here's my LP macro:

Translated:
Dbl click by type lockpick
Wait for target (I have a 1.2 sec pause)
Absolute target (box)
Pause 4s
If (sys mess "appear")
Dbl click key
wait for target (I have a .5s pause)
Absolute target (box)
pause .5s
End If
If (sys mess "yields")
Dbl click key
wait for target (I have a 1.2s pause)
Absolute target (box)
pause 2.0s
End if
Pause 1s

Indeed, I forgot to mention this. I didn't know this the whole time while I GMed lockpicking and wasted a ton of time and telekinesis regs when I didn't need to As he mentioned, only do this for dungeon chests. Chests you dig up from treasure maps and other chests, take a few steps back (at least 3 I think) and use telekinesis on the chest.
