Online:Tools

This article is about items with practical use throughout your adventures in Tamriel. For the collectibles with practical use, see Tools (Collectible).

Tools are assorted utility items that have a variety of uses.

Lockpicks

For more information, see the main Lockpicking article.

Lockpicks are used to pick locks on chests and doors. They are found in containers everywhere and can stack up to 200. They are also sold by merchants for nine gold. Lockpicks can be used many times if you're careful enough when picking locks and avoid breaking them. Pressing a tumbler for too long increases the chances of breakage, and the difficulty of the lock also has an effect. If you force a lock, you will always break a pick.

Repair Kits

Repair Kits can be used to repair damaged armor. All repair kits can be used on any level of armor, but lower level kits are less effective on higher level gear. Standard kits can be purchased from Merchants and Innkeepers.
