How to Get Lockpicking Tool in Palworld

It's no secret that Sakurajima's new update for Palworld not only added new items for players at the end of the game, but also more tools like the Lockpicking tool for players to use instead of searching for keys. Below we explain how to use and obtain it in a simple way:

How to Get Lockpicking Tool in Palworld

Unlocking Lockpicking Proficiency

Ancient Technology Research:  The foundation for lockpicking prowess lies within the Ancient Technology research tree. Upon reaching level 16, invest one Ancient Technology Point to unlock the Lockpicking Tool v1.

Progressive Advancement:  As you progress through Palworld, consider augmenting your lockpicking capabilities. The Lockpicking Tool v2 becomes available at level 28 for an investment of two Ancient Technology Points. Finally, at level 51 (remember the recent level cap increase to 55 with the Sakurajima update), the most advanced iteration, Lockpicking Tool v3, can be unlocked for three Ancient Technology Points.

Permanent Utility vs. Transient Keys:

Enduring Solution: Unlike the fleeting nature of consumable keys scattered throughout the world, the Lockpicking Tool offers a permanent solution for unlocking treasure chests. This eliminates the burden of managing a separate key inventory, streamlining your looting endeavors and maximizing efficiency.

Success Rates and Upgrading Advantages:

Calculated Attempts: The Lockpicking Tool introduces an element of strategic risk. Each chest-unlocking attempt carries a possibility of failure. However, progressively upgrading to v2 and v3 enhances your success rate, ensuring a higher consistency in claiming your rightful rewards.

Crafting Considerations

Production Assembly Line II: While unlocking the Lockpicking Tool occurs through the Ancient Technology menu, crafting necessitates a distinct approach. Production Assembly Line II, a machine unlocked at level 42, serves as the designated crafting station for all Lockpicking Tool variants.

Resource Allocation:

The table below outlines the specific resources required to craft each Lockpicking Tool version:

Lockpicking Tool Version Ingots Paldium Fragments Nails

v1 10 10 5

v2 20 20 10

v3 30 Pal Metal Ingot 30 20

Inventory Management and Strategic Optimization

Permanent Key Item:  The Lockpicking Tool's classification as a Key Item offers a significant advantage. Unlike consumable items, it remains a permanent fixture within your inventory, eliminating the need for constant crafting or dedicating valuable space to collected keys.

Strategic Choice:  While consumable keys may be readily available, the Lockpicking Tool provides a long-term benefit, particularly for dedicated explorers who frequently encounter locked chests. It streamlines inventory management and ensures you're always prepared to tackle intricate locks, maximizing your efficiency and loot acquisition.

If you add Lockpicking Tool to your Palworld repertoire, you unlock a world of possibilities. You can navigate the alluring world of hidden treasure with efficiency and unwavering confidence, maximizing your rewards and solidifying your position as Palworld's master explorer.
