2x Archaic Shards

The Archaic Lockpick is a lockpick used only by the Ancients in their structures and dungeons. It opens the higher-grade locked chests found across Cinder's Cradle and its beacon dungeons. Locked gold, silver and wooden chests that need it wait in Ancient sites such as the Engine Chambers and the Halls of Founders. A few more sit in the Veilwater Basin, the Nomad Highlands and the Albaneve Summits. A stack of these is worth carrying on every trip through Ancient ruins. It can be made by hand from two Archaic Shards once the Flame has reached level 9. The Ancient Researcher, Loraine Crim, makes it for just one shard, which halves the cost. Archaic Shards drop from Ancient constructs and fill the mining deposits of the region. It is a late-game tool that turns locked Ancient loot into a reward rather than a dead end.

Lore

Only the Ancients used these picks, in their own buildings and dungeons. Their locks guard gold, silver and wooden chests across Cinder's Cradle and its beacon dungeons. The picks are cut from Archaic Shards, broken scraps of Ancient metal. Loraine Crim knows the craft well enough to make one from a single shard.
