The locksmith toolkit is a mechanical script that applies to container items. It is used by by locksmiths to DISARM trapped locks and holds disarming tools. It can be purchased from the town locksmith.

Analyze

You analyze your locksmith's toolkit and sense that there is no recorded information on that item.  It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer.

You can tell that the toolkit is as light as it can get, but you might be able to have a talented merchant deepen its pockets for you.

Additional Information

Some traps require a special locksmith's kit filled with various helpful items to be used. These kits can be purchased at various locksmithing shops. Keep in mind that one does not need to handle the toolkit when disarming traps - leaving it open and in an open container is all that is necessary.

Contents

A single toolkit can hold at maximum: 100 lumps of putty, 100 balls of cotton, 100 acid vials, and one each of the grips, file, and needle. Although other items will not bundle, there may be room to add other items to the kit's pockets manually. For example, a toolkit that has had 100 acid vials bundled into it may still have room to hold an additional acid vial by PUTting the vial into the toolkit up to the maximum capacity of the toolkit.

A person can store other things in the toolkit. Lockpicks, calipers, enhancive jewelry, black demon rum, or other various items can be PUT in the toolkit, up to its maximum capacity.

Brand new off-the-shelf locksmith kits typically include the following items:

  • a lump of squishy white putty with about 50 pinches left
  • 50 little balls of cotton
  • a set of narrow metal grips
  • a thin metal file
  • a thick steel needle

Combining Contents

As the toolkit empties of some items, one can refill it by buying another toolkit and bundling the two. The two toolkits do not have to look the same. Hold the kit you wish to keep in the right hand and make sure both kits are open. After bundling, there will be an emptier kit in the left hand and a more full kit in the right hand. If a bundling mistake was made, and the wrong toolkit is now full, simply SWAP hands and BUNDLE again.

Vials of acid can be bundled with the toolkit by holding a vial of acid in one hand and the toolkit in the other hand.

Combining Cautions

Exercise caution when bundling toolkits. Bundling only combines putty, cotton, acid vials, grips, files, and needles. Other items will not automatically be transferred during bundling. For example, if lockpicks or calipers were stored in an old toolkit, then after toolkit bundling, those items will remain in the toolkit in which they were originally stored. They do not transfer during the bundling process. If the wrong toolkit is thrown away, the lockpicks and calipers would then be lost. It pays to LOOK in both toolkits after bundling, and make sure to manually transfer or recover any valuable items.

Permifying

Locksmith kits can be permified via the PERM-ifier. Permifying excludes acid vials.
