Periodically I have to run to a locksmith to pick up a mess of lockpicks. This is a highly tedious process of letting the script run a few minutes purchasing lockpicks with full hands, so they get placed on the store counter, and then running another script to pick up lockpicks from the counter, and store them.

Can these stores be updated to sell full lockpick rings? Or for their inventory to include, say, a package of 50 lockpicks?

That doesn't save any commands. I still have to buy each pick individually, and place each pick individually on the ring. Which is what I'm doing now.

>> Yes it does.

I think you misunderstood what she's asking for.

It's the difference between this...

I would be game for the option to give a lockpick ring to the merchant, who then quotes the cost to replace all the lockpicks with whatever quality is on the ring currently.

Something like,

order stout lockpick
put lockpick on ring
give ring to Raggae
give ring to Raggae (confirms and pays for a quick stout lockpick fillup)

<<I suppose, but by a negligible amount compared to what she's actually asking for.

It's a ~25% reduction in the number of commands. If she's taking 4 minutes to fill up a bunch of lockpick rings that's enough to shave off around a full minute. Hardly negligible.

It's not negligible compared to what she has available now, which is why it was offered as a suggestion.

I have no idea why you are behaving as you have been the last few days on the forums and the wiki, but whatever the reason I hope you get over it soon.

I would think it would be pretty cool, QoL wise, to be able to...

buy lockpick ring (stout|ordinary|slim)

... from an NPC lockpick selling merchant and get a full lockpick ring at the appropriate cost. I would think you should have to buy a full or completely empty ring only though. No "buy lockpick ring stout 13" or such.

Rhadyn da Dwarb - Blood for fire!

>Yes it does.

Oh, you know what, Abselom is right. My script was doing -

buy lockpick, offer 2x, put lockp on ring (basically)

My other script was doing -

buy lockpick, offer 2x, repeat for a while. Then, get lockpick from counter, put lockp on ring (repeatedly until full, refilling rings as they fill up).

The second script is easier but you're right, does take another command. It doesn't rely on a check for full rings, but meh.

I would like the option to just buy full lockpick rings. Maybe make them for sale (a lockpick ring with slim picks) and once the last pick is used, the ring is automatically discarded? As it stands, the system is somewhat cumbersome juggling rings and picks. Permanent rings could of course still be a thing, for people who want to use good picks or such.

Also, I am a dude, for whatever that's worth.

<<I'm a dude

Oh. The name Jhalia just made me think girl.

For what it's worth I always read it as "Jhalia's cleric" (like "Bob's cleric"), although now I'm wondering if it's "J. Halia's cleric"

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

I thought it was "Charlie's Cleric" with a Boston accent.

~It's what I do when I'm an area without vines.

So, this one's done. yes?

Thanks!
